On the 13th, Ive held a comeback countdown live on the official YouTube channel to commemorate the release of ‘REBEL HEART’, a pre-released song from his third EP album ‘IVE EMPATHY’.
‘Revel Heart’, which was pre-released on the 13th, is a song depicting the solidarity march of rebels with various narratives. Immediately after its release, ‘Revel Heart’ ranked 1st on the Bugs real-time chart, 1st on Melon Hot 100 (30 days after release), 1st on Vibe’s domestic rapid rise chart, 5th on Melon Hot 100 (100 days after release), 16th on Top 100, and Genie Real-time. It was off to a good start by sweeping the top charts of major domestic music sites, including 13th on the charts.
Before starting the talk in earnest, Ive, who greeted Dive (the official fan club name) whom he met after a long time, talked about the reason for pre-releasing ‘Revel Heart’, one of the two title songs. Jang Won-young said, “It’s a song that touched my heart from the moment I first heard it,” and added, “As January is the month when a new year begins, I hope to provide comfort and empathy to those who make new resolutions or steadfastly proceed with what they are doing.” “I chose it because I thought I could give it to them,” he said.
Afterwards, Ive began talking about the album in earnest. Regarding the new album ‘Ive Empathy’, Ray said, “As the name suggests, it is about empathy. In the previous album, I focused on myself by talking about ‘self-love’, but in this album, I wanted to talk about empathy from various perspectives.” “He explained.
Gaeul then said, “I wanted to show that Ive has grown through music as much as he has grown,” adding, “It contains the story of growing from ‘I’, looking around, empathizing with the wounds and pain around us, and growing together through empathy.” He added. Here, the members unanimously emphasized, “Please don’t forget the release on February 3rd. We will be releasing it again on February 3rd. Wait for it, Dive. You shouldn’t think that it’s all over on Lunar New Year’s Day.”
In addition, the members briefly introduced the music video, saying that it was filmed on location in Japan, and that they each played rebels with various stories. Gaeul added, “This album is about empathy. That’s why not only us, but also a lot of non-celebrity cast members appear,” adding, “It means that this is an album that not only us, but everyone can relate to.”
Ive, who gave fans a special time just before the pre-release, ended the live by expressing their thoughts and determination one by one. Ive raised expectations by saying, “We are preparing to run hard this year as well,” adding, “We have filmed a lot of content, and there is so much to be revealed.” He added, “I hope ‘Revel Heart’ Dive will love it a lot, and we are looking forward to the title song on February 3rd. “Please do a lot,” he said once again.
Ive pre-released the title song ‘Revel Heart’ of his third EP on the 13th. After warming up the comeback fever by appearing on various music broadcasts and various contents, Ive plans to make an official comeback with the album ‘Ive Empathy’ on February 3rd.
