IVE to Release New EP 'Looks Can Kill' on Oct. 26
a pre-release on the 19th, the full thing on the 26th — october belongs to the DIVEs now.
IVE said october is theirs and honestly who's going to argue.
on September 27, the group announced their new EP 'Looks Can Kill,' and they're doing the whole rollout: a pre-release single drops October 19, with the full album following October 26. a two-part gift for a fanbase that's been extremely patient.
the title alone is doing something — 'Looks Can Kill' is such an IVE move, all confidence and main-character energy. if the last era taught us anything, it's that these girls do not release a dud.
DIVE, clear the calendar and hydrate. the manifestation queens are back and the countdown starts now. 🔪

IVE Open North American Tour With First Canada Shows
the girls opened the 'show what i am' na leg in toronto and montreal — their first-ever solo shows in canada — and dives sang every korean lyric right back. wonyoung soloing to '8' has me UNWELL.
the girlies said o canada and MEANT it. ive just kicked off the north american leg of their 'show what i am' world tour with their first-ever solo concerts in canada, and the footage has me spiraling.
they hit toronto on july 21 and montreal on july 23 — the group's first time headlining their own shows in canada since debut — and per starship the whole thing got upgraded: new styling, beefed-up staging, the works. mother tour is mothering.
setlist-wise they did not miss: opened with 'gotcha' and 'xoxz,' ran through 'love dive,' 'attitude,' 'i am' and 'rebel heart,' and during 'bang bang' the crowd sang the korean lyrics back word for word. the growth. the globalization. i'm emotional.
the solo stages were the main event, obviously — wonyoung took on '8' while rei, liz, gaeul, leeseo and yujin each got their moment to serve. six soloists in a trench coat, respectfully.
ive said through starship they were "able to begin our North American tour on a great note" thanks to dives, and same. next up: newark, austin, los angeles, oakland, seattle and vancouver. if she's coming to your city, lock in — this is not a drill.
