IVE is set to make a comeback with their 4th mini album on August 25th.
Starship Entertainment, the group's label, teased the comeback on July 31st via IVE's official social media by unveiling a moving poster for their fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET'.
The revealed poster captivated fans with objects that reflect the unique personalities of the six members. From winged baby animals to moving origami cranes, tumblers, and toy guns with wings, these distinctive and symbolic items sparked curiosity about the album's universe and message. The image of the members holding these objects with their backs turned created a mysterious vibe, perfectly aligning with the album's title 'SECRET'.
