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'.

Additionally, the phrase "'XOXZ' COMING SOON" hinted at the album's title track 'XOXZ', raising anticipation among fans.

'IVE SECRET' comes about 7 months after their 3rd mini album 'IVE EMPATHY' released last February. The group previously dominated music shows with their pre-release track 'REBEL HEART' and title track 'ATTITUDE', securing 15 wins and proving their album sales power with a streak of five consecutive million-sellers.

Notably, IVE teased a snippet of their new song 'XOXZ' at the '2025 SBS Music Festival Summer', garnering explosive reactions from global fans. This comeback is highly anticipated to be another major hit, ready to take over playlists once again.

Meanwhile, IVE's fourth mini album 'IVE SECRET' and its title track 'XOXZ' are set to be released on August 25th.
