Forbes Recognizes K-pop Sensation IVE in 30 Under 30 Asia List
The American economic magazine 'Forbes' has praised IVE. On the 15th, IVE was named to the 'Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2024 list.'
Forbes spotlighted IVE, calling them "the most popular girl group in the highly competitive K-pop scene," and noted that they "swept the best new artist awards immediately after their debut in 2021."
Leader An Yujin expressed her heartfelt emotions.
"It's a great honor for IVE to be selected as one of Forbes' '30 Under 30 Asia.' Thank you so much," she said.
She added, "We were happy to enjoy performing with our global DIVE fans on our world tour.
We will continue to work hard to repay your support with great stages and music."
IVE continues to showcase their strong digital power.
Within a year of their debut, they topped the annual charts and won rookie awards (ELEVEN) and grand prizes (LOVE DIVE) at various award shows.
With 'ELEVEN,' they entered the Billboard charts just two weeks after their debut.
They ranked 4th (After LIKE) and 6th (LOVE DIVE) on NME's '25 Best K-pop Songs of 2022.'
They were also listed in TIME's 'Best K-pop Songs and Albums of 2022' for 'Best K-pop Song' (LOVE DIVE) and were named one of Grammy's '10 K-pop Rookie Girl Groups to Watch in 2023.'
IVE is currently holding their first world tour 'Show What I Have,' visiting 27 cities in 19 countries.
Their performances, enjoyed by all ages, and live skills have received positive reviews.
They are also part of the lineup for 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in Grant Park, Illinois, USA, in August.
The news of their participation has already generated explosive reactions.
After the US, IVE is set to captivate Japan. They will perform at the Tokyo Dome on September 4-5, meeting their fans again with encore performances of 'Show What I Have.'
Last month, on the 29th, IVE released their second EP album 'IVE SWITCH.' They are currently promoting the double title tracks 'HEYA' and 'Accendio.'
