IVE appeared on Mnet's "M Countdown" broadcast on the 12th, and for the first time on a music show, they revealed the pre-released track "Bbang Bbang" from their second regular album "REVIVE+".
On this day's broadcast, Autumn and Leeah made a special appearance as MCs, opening up "M Countdown" with great enthusiasm. Showing their adorable charm with a ribbon as the key element of their styling, they displayed bright energy and excellent hosting skills, leading the music show. Several senior and junior artists ahead of their comeback, as well as IVE members, participated in interviews and completed challenges together, brightening up the event.
In the following stage, IVE appeared with a confident and charismatic expression right when the stage began, raising the fans' excitement. Also, they perfectly embodied the black stage costumes, highlighting each member's individual charm and capturing everyone's attention.
Ive performed powerfully to fast-paced EDM sounds. Additionally, they showcased straightforward point dances such as the "Shoulder Dance," where they put their arms around each other and shook their shoulders; the "Kiring Dance," expressing headbanging through hand movements; and the "Aya Aya Dance," featuring intense hip movements, adding more entertainment for the audience.
Ive focuses on a catchy and sophisticated chorus with colorful choreography, proving themselves as a "performance feast." Adding to this, the high-level rap from Ga-eul and Ryujehyeon strongly captivates both eyes and ears, delivering an exhilarating catharsis. "Bbangbhang" is a song that conveys a proactive message of forging ahead through situations by one's own choices, rather than being swayed by others' gazes or rumors, based on EDM and electronic sounds, and a Western swing intro.
"Bang Bang" has been generating high buzz both domestically and internationally since its pre-release on the 9th. It immediately topped the YouTube popularity chart for music, and it continues to firmly hold the No. 1 position in daily music video charts.
At the same time, it also secured the 4th position on the Apple Music Popular Chart (12th), and entered the top 20 in the iTunes Top K-Pop Songs chart in 31 countries and regions, proving its growing popularity. Additionally, as of 9 a.m. on the 13th, it ranked 1st on Melon Hot 100, 2nd on the Top 100, 1st on Bugs Real-Time Chart, and 1st on Flo Real-Time Chart, and has been listed in the top ranks of major domestic music charts such as Genie and Vibe, as well as various global charts, demonstrating its power in music sales.
