IVE GOT A SONG

K-pop sextet IVE—Wonyoung and Yujin (previously members of Iz*One), Gaeul, Liz, Leeseo and Rei—has signed to Columbia Records in the U.S. and The Orchard for international distribution. First single “Kitsch” will be released Monday (3/27).

Columbia has joined forces with IVE’s South Korean label, Starship Entertainment, and Kakao Entertainment America, which introduced the act in 2021. Their 2022 “LOVE DIVE” and “After LIKE” helped push the outfit past 1b streams and 1b YouTube views.
