South Korean girl group IVE marked their fourth anniversary on December 1, 2025 with an exclusive livestream event hosted on the global K-culture platform Berriz.
The special broadcast, titled "♡IVE DEBUT 4TH ANNIVERSARY♡," streamed at 7 PM KST through the group's official fan community, allowing supporters worldwide to participate in the celebration.
During the anniversary special, the six-member group reflected on their four-year journey since debuting with "Eleven" on December 1, 2021. The members engaged directly with fans by answering questions and responding to congratulatory messages submitted by DIVE, their official fanbase. This interactive format highlighted the strong connection between IVE and their supporters, who gathered online to commemorate the milestone.
IVE organized multiple entertainment segments centered on the number four to make the celebration memorable, according to allkpop. The group participated in "IVE and IVE 4E," a bingo game that tested their knowledge and memory. Another segment called "IVE and DIVE 4E" featured members guessing fans' favorite B-side tracks and music videos. Additionally, in "4-tune Letter 4 DIVE," each member prepared handwritten messages of encouragement and support for fans.
The anniversary event came after an exceptionally successful year for IVE. In 2025, every album the group released exceeded one million sales, earning them the distinction of becoming seven-time million sellers. Their latest releases included the mini-album Ive Empathy and IVE SECRET, which featured the hit single "XOXZ." Earlier in the year, "Rebel Heart" achieved a fifth "Perfect All-Kill" on Korean music charts, marking their most dominant digital performance.
IVE's trophy haul this year demonstrated their global influence. The group secured 20 music show wins in 2024, with "Rebel Heart" leading the charge with 11 wins, followed by "Attitude" with 4 wins and "XOXZ" with 5 wins. Since their debut, they have accumulated 74 total music show trophies, solidifying their status as a leading K-pop act, MK reported.
Beyond domestic success, IVE expanded its international presence significantly. They became the first K-pop girl group invited to perform at Lollapalooza for two consecutive years and performed at Japan's Rock in Japan Festival 2025.
The group also launched their second world tour, "SHOW WHAT I AM," which wrapped Seoul dates at KSPO Dome in early November before expanding across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, as per the Korea Herald. The anniversary livestream offered fans a moment to celebrate these achievements alongside their favorite artists.
