we are proudly introduce you IVE

Ive (Korean: 아이브; RR: Aibeu; stylized as IVE) is a South Korean girl group formed by Starship Entertainment. The group is composed of six members: Yujin (ex iz*one), Gaeul, Rei, Wonyoung (ex iz*one), Liz and Leeseo. They made their debut on December 1, 2021, with the single album Eleven.

The group's name, Ive, is a contraction for ”I have”. It alludes to the idea of confidently showing what ”I have” to the audience. Instead of telling the story of a growing girl group, Ive will try to portray a ”complete girl group” from the start.

It was later revealed that the group will be debuting on December 1, 2021. Two days later, it was announced the group would debut with their first single album, titled ”Eleven”. To promote the group's debut with the single album, a face-to-face showcase was held on the release day of the single album. The showcase was also broadcasted on the group’s official channel. On November 15, a video series called ”Show What I Have” was started on the group's official YouTube channel, where each member introduced themselves, starting with An Yujin on November 15, followed by Rei on November 16, Leeseo on November 17, Liz on November 18, Gaeul on November 19 and Jang Wonyoung on November 20.

After the start of promotions the single ”Eleven” climbed the Korean charts reaching the Top 10 on all major digital charts. The single also reached the TOP 10 on the Gaon Digital Chart. The album later became certified Platinum by the Korean Music Content Association (KMCA) for selling over 250,000 copies. In less than a month after its release, ”Eleven” sold over 260,000 copies. It ended the year as the 49th best selling album of the year in Korea. On December 8, 2021, IVE received their first music show win on MBC’s Show Champion for ”Eleven.” They became the fastest girl group to achieve their first win at only seven days post-debut, beating the previous record of nine days held by ITZY. On December 9, 2021, IVE revealed through their Twitter that their fandom name would be DIVE.
