Group Ive (An Yu-jin, Ga-eul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo), celebrating their 3rd debut anniversary, announced a comeback next month.

On the 1st, his agency Starship Entertainment stated, "Ive, who is celebrating his 3rd debut anniversary today, is preparing a new album with all his heart with the goal of making a comeback in January as the first artist of Starship in 2025." They added, "Please give lots of support to Ive, who will once again take a leap forward with even more growth through his word tour this year."

IVY leader Ahn Yu-jin said through her agency, "During our dream-like world tour, we were so happy thanks to DIVE (official fandom name) who welcomed us no matter which city we performed in, and it was a great time for us to spend time with the members." She added, "To DIVE who have been waiting for our comeback in the second half of this year and to everyone who loves IVY, even if it takes some time, the members and staff are working hard together to prepare for our comeback next year, so please look forward to our 2025 comeback."

An Yu-jin continued, "Today is the 3rd anniversary of our debut, and thanks to Dive, Ive has received so much love that I'm so happy. I hope to enjoy the rest of the year-end while watching Ive's stage and prepare to start 2025 with Ive."

If he makes a comeback in January next year, it will be his first new album in nine months since his second EP album 'IVE SWITCH' released in April.

Since his debut on December 1, 2021, Ive has continued his unstoppable pace by topping domestic and international music and album charts with "ELEVEN," "LOVE DIVE," "After Like," "I've IVE," "I'VE MINE," and "I've Switch," as well as winning awards on music shows and at various award ceremonies.

Since October of last year, they have been on a world tour with 37 performances in 28 cities across 19 countries. In August of this year, they have proven their outstanding skills and presence on large global stages such as 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in the US and 'Summer Sonic 2024' in Japan.

Recently, they won three awards at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS' and '2024 Melon Music Awards (MMA 2024)', fully demonstrating their potential as a representative 4th generation girl group.
