You’re probably wondering, who is Ive and do they have the potential to become the Top Kpop Girl Group of All Time? Well, we’re about to find out!

The phrase was said to imply the confidence of the members, under the idea of ‘showing what I have”. The six member girl group debuted last December in 2021 under their hit single “ELEVEN”, followed by their second side track “Take It”. Before that, their teaser video was launched in mid November, which garnered 2 million views in just under two days. Since Ive’s successful debut, they’ve launched a second single “Love Dive” which was received by just as much love and attention.
Ive Debut Song ELEVEN
Ive’s Eleven was released under their single album, under the same name on December 1, 2021. It is a dance-pop song about romance. The Hit single Eleven peaked number 2 in Korea’s Kpop Top 100 and was in the top 20 standard chart in Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.

Ive Second Single Love Dive
Ive’s Love Dive was the second single released under their album Love Dive, which contained this single, as well as another one, Royal. The Album was released on April 5, 2022. Prior to the Ive new song release, Starship entertainment arranged a promotional teaser video on March 21. It was not until April 4, 2022 that their video teaser for Love Dive was released.
