IVE marked its fourth debut anniversary by sharing the milestone with DIVE, the group’s official fandom.
On Dec. 1, the sextet hosted a special livestream, “♡IVE DEBUT 4TH ANNIVERSARY♡,” on Berriz, a global K-culture fan platform, turning the day into a full-on celebration with fans around the world.
Kicking things off with warm greetings, the members thanked DIVE for the constant support, blew out candles on a celebratory cake and made wishes, setting a playful, feel-good tone for the night.
Sticking to the “4” theme, IVE dove into a string of segments. First up was a bingo game built around prewritten keywords for each member. When it was ANYUJIN’s turn, prompts like “puppy,” “Earth Arcade” and “Crime Scene” drew unanimous nods, keeping the game rolling. And when “Force” ― the solo track she unveiled at the Seoul stop of their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM" ― popped up, JANGWONYOUNG, LIZ and LEESEO hit bingo at the same time and erupted in cheers.
In Gaeul’s round, LIZ’s quick wit helped her snag a solo win. REI’s turn brought a flurry of inside jokes and trend hits ― think TikTok moments and her love of polka dots ― underscoring her status as a bona fide trendsetter this year. Through each other’s keyword picks, the members swapped favorites and 2025 highlights, giving fans a closer look at their personalities and memories.
Next came “IVE with DIVE,” a quiz built from a fan survey. Asked to guess DIVE’s top three episodes of the group’s variety series 1, 2, 3 IVE, the members nailed the full Top 3 and dished fun behind-the-scenes stories. When it came to “fans’ favorite IVE B-side,” they immediately landed on "Shine With Me," agreeing that the song’s concert performance left a lasting imprint. The team also correctly named two of DIVE’s favorite music videos, proving just how in sync they are with their fandom.
A final message segment had the members writing heartfelt notes to DIVE. “Health is everything ― we wish you happiness and good health,” they shared, adding that they hope to see fans even more often in the days ahead.
Wrapping the stream, IVE reflected, “It’s hard to believe it’s already been four years with DIVE. We’re so happy we could spend this time together, and we want to make our moments with you even more meaningful as time flies by.”
After the live, the group’s official YouTube channel kept the party going with extra anniversary drops: a casual reality clip filled with mini games and chat, plus the pre-debut monthly evaluation dance video for "That’s My Girl" and a companion reaction video ― a nostalgic treat that delighted longtime fans.
Up next, IVE is set to take the stage at the 10th Asia Artist Awards 2025 (AAA) on Dec. 6.
