IVE is an “ELEVEN” out of Ten in Anticipated Debut
Starship Entertainment has debuted their newest girl group, IVE! The six-member group debuted with their first mini-album “ELEVEN” with the title track of the same name, as well as the B-side track “Take It.”
IVE, short for “I Have,” consists of Yujin as leader and vocalist, rappers Gaeul and Rei, and vocalists Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo (who is also the maknae). Yujin and Wonyoung already have approximately two and a half years of experience as idols ever since they debuted as members of IZ*ONE. This experience from the two girls has already put IVE on many fans’ radars, and their debut already got the group nominated for “Rookie of the Year” at the Seoul Music Awards.
“ELEVEN” is a strong debut from this rookie group. This dance-pop sound has catchy beats, strong vocals and raps, and the girls show their charms in the music video. Vocalist Liz opens the song with her sweet voice passing the verses around to other members, and the choreography also showcases the girls’ strengths already. The music video shows the girls’ charisma, and is also very visually appealing with the color schemes and different shots of the choreography.
2021 has been a strong year for girl group debuts and IVE continues to prove that in the industry. We can definitely expect a lot from the girls, and it’s exciting to see what will happen next!
