IVE is a six-member South Korean girl group under Starship Entertainment, debuting in December 2021. The group became one of the fastest-rising girl groups in K-pop history — their debut single "ELEVEN" topped charts immediately, and follow-ups "LOVE DIVE" and "After LIKE" continued a remarkable streak of back-to-back hits.

History

Debut and consecutive hit streak

IVE debuted with "ELEVEN," which dominated domestic charts and established the group's signature sophisticated-yet-accessible sound. "LOVE DIVE" (2022) replicated the success, spending multiple weeks at #1. "After LIKE" completed what critics called one of the strongest debut-year runs in fourth-generation K-pop.

Award recognition and continued success

IVE swept major year-end awards in 2022, winning Song of the Year at multiple ceremonies. Their debut studio album I've IVE followed in 2023. Members Wonyoung and Yujin in particular have become major individual brand ambassadors for international luxury and lifestyle brands.
