Kpopmap had the honor of covering their debut showcase. Here is everything that you need to know about it. The IVE members greeted the audience enthusiastically with their group greeting, “Dive into IVE. Hello, we are IVE.” It is safe to say that the girls are ready to make fans fall head over heels for their charms. The girls shared their thoughts about finally making their debut. They shared that although they were nervous they were equally excited to finally debut and hope that fans will show them a lot of love and support. On Nov. 28, Starship posted the teaser for IVE’s debut single ‘ELEVEN’. The teaser showed a glamorous vibe to an edgy and trendy beat as the girls made intense eye contact with their soon-to-be fans.
When asked what the meaning behind their title song is, member Rei answered that just like how in soccer they have a ‘best 11’ which is considered the best 11 players making up a team, IVE is also showing up on the scene as the best team. They want to prove that they are the best of the best through their teamwork. ‘ELEVEN’ is a pop dance song that shows off the charms of the members. When asked what the killing point of the song is, the members said that the whole song can be considered the killing point but if they had to focus on a specific aspect, it would be their vocals. It was also then revealed that the reason their concept pictures featured the members surrounded by mirrors, was to emphasize the diverse sides of themselves that they would show to fans. The point choreography of ‘ELEVEN’ can be identified as two dances. The first is the ‘heaven’ dance. This dance is when they reach up into the sky and bring their hands down to their mouth. The second point dance is called the ‘seven’ dance. They do a number of steps leading to a count up from 1 to 7, then make a 7 symbol with their hands. The members shared some cute memories about filming their first-ever music video together, including how they huddled up like penguins to share warmth as it was getting colder. Rei also shared that one of the things that she really wants to do since she has debuted is to have the IVE members visit her hometown in Japan. Before performing their debut single ‘ELEVEN’, the girls shared that they would love to show their fans the charm and color that only IVE can exude. They definitely achieved that through their performance that proved their skills, visuals, and musical talent. You can watch the music video for ‘ELEVEN’ here.
After their performance, the IVE members sat down again for some question and answer time. Members YuJin and WonYoung were asked how they feel since they are re-debuting with IVE as former IZ*ONE members and how their teamwork with the other members is considering that they hadn’t debuted before. Both girls answered that they were looking forward to their activities as IVE members and that the team worked really well together because each member has their own unique color but they match well together. The group was also asked what they think sets them apart from other 4th generation K-Pop girl groups. They answered that their visuals, musicality, and performance are all the things that set them apart. IVE also shared that they hope to become globally recognized and eventually do world tours and meet their global fans. Until then, they hope that their global fans will wait for them and show them a lot of love. Lastly, IVE shared that they wanted to become a girl group with an iconic aura. Do you think they have that aura? What do you think of their debut?
