IVE has scored a sixth Perfect All-Kill with its new pre-release single “BANG BANG.”
On the 24th, Starship Entertainment announced that “BANG BANG,” the pre-release track from IVE’s second full album “REVIVE+,” hit No. 1 across major Korean music charts, securing a Perfect All-Kill. It’s the first Perfect All-Kill among 2026 releases and IVE’s sixth overall.
According to chart data, “BANG BANG” swept No. 1 on Melon, Genie, FLO, VIBE, and Bugs across real-time, daily, and Top 100 charts, and also topped YouTube Music Korea’s Weekly Top Songs for Feb. 13-19.
This marks IVE’s sixth Perfect All-Kill following “After LIKE” (2022), “Kitsch” (2023), “I AM” (2023), “Baddie” (2023), and “REBEL HEART” (2025).
“BANG BANG” delivers a message about choosing your own path and pushing forward without getting swayed by outside noise. It’s a hard-hitting opening track built on EDM and electronic sounds, blending a Western swing-styled intro with a straight-ahead beat to showcase IVE’s expanding musical spectrum.
The performance helped supercharge the song’s momentum. Set to the track’s fast-paced EDM, the choreography spotlights intuitive point moves like the arms-crossed “Shoulder Dance,” the hand-driven “Keyring Dance” that mimics headbanging, and the striking “Ayaya Dance” with a bold back-bending motion. These moves are fueling challenge trends on TikTok and other platforms, amplifying the buzz.
Meanwhile, on the 23rd, IVE released its second studio album “REVIVE+” and officially kicked off comeback promotions. The album expands its self-assured narrative from “me” to “us,” and the title track “BLACKHOLE” landed in the upper ranks of domestic and international charts upon release, spotlighting both IVE’s now and next.
