Group Ive has won five music shows with its pre-release song "Revel Heart."
According to the official social media of Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 30th, Ive was honored with the first place in the last week of January through the pre-release title song "Rebel Heart". The "M Countdown" broadcast was replaced by a highlight broadcast, and the first place was announced at the end of the broadcast.
As a result, despite the cancellation of "M Countdown," Ive not only won first place for two consecutive weeks following last week, but also wrote a milestone of winning five music broadcasts with only pre-released songs.
"I feel like I received a surprise gift when our comeback is just around the corner. I think there were only happy moments while promoting "Rebel Heart," and thank you so much for allowing us to win first place again," Ives said through his agency Starship Entertainment. "From February 3, Ives will give Dive greater happiness. The title song "Attitude," which will be released at that time, is also a favorite of our members. I hope Dive looks forward to it," he added.
Released on the 13th, "Rebel Heart" is the pre-released title song of Ive Empathy, IVE's third mini album, which will be released on the 3rd of next month. Not only has "Rebel Heart" entered the top of major domestic and foreign music charts since its release, but it has continued to perform well, ranking 51st in "Billboard Global " and 97th in "Billboard Global 200" on the latest chart released by Billboard, an American music media outlet, on the 28th.
Along with the extraordinary sound source power, the "Rebel Heart" challenge is also driving high popularity. On the day of its release, the members' dance challenge videos posted on the global short-form video platform "TikTok" exceeded 24.96 million cumulative views with just two videos, and the emoji challenge, which features chemistry between members, and the band challenge, in which famous Korean bands sing the chorus of "Rebel Heart" using the characteristics of each band, were also enthusiastically received by global music fans.
Ive will make an official comeback on the 3rd of next month with the release of its third mini-album, "Ive Empathy," and the double title song "Attitude."
