[OSENWORLD] K-pop girl group IVE has set the stage for their highly anticipated comeback, emerging as glamorous “cover girls” with a mysterious twist.
On August 18, Starship Entertainment released the second mood sampler for IVE’s fourth mini-album IVE SECRET via the group’s official YouTube channel. In the video, the members don bold makeup, sophisticated styling, and dazzling accessories, exuding a glamorous “cover girl” aura in a powder-smeared dressing room. The chaotic setting is offset by their composed poses and English narration, creating a distinctive and captivating atmosphere.
The teaser closes with playful yet mysterious imagery: members covering their mouths with a smile or unveiling various bags before a massive prop bursts through a wall. Among whimsical items like perfume, dolls, and candy, hints of something more dangerous surface—deepening the sense of intrigue.

With the teaser, IVE conveys a striking message: “The prettiest ones are often the most dangerous.” Behind their glamorous exteriors lie secretive layers waiting to unfold.
The group is steadily building anticipation with a slew of teaser content—concept posters, mood samplers, and more. Set to drop on August 25, IVE SECRET features the title track “XOXZ” and showcases the group’s evolving artistry through striking visuals and performances. Global fans can expect IVE to amplify their allure and charisma once again.
