IVE clinches Grand Song plus Best Music 10, ENA K-pop Artist, and Best Global K-pop Star honors

IVE, the so-called MZ Wannabe Icon, reaffirmed the “IVE Syndrome” at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA) held on November 15 at Incheon Inspire Arena, claiming the Grand Song award along with three other prizes. The group earned the Grand Song prize, as well as Best Music 10, ENA K-pop Artist, and Best Global K-pop Star, marking a standout four-trophy night.

On stage, they appeared in a silver-toned techno aesthetic and delivered a captivating performance. The act featured the live premiere of a mini-album track, including GOTCHA (Baddest Eros), heightening the immersive energy of their stage.

From Rebel Heart to Attitude and XOXZ, the group tallied a collective dozen-plus wins across the year, contributing to a total of 20 music-show trophies this year and further solidifying the so-called “IVE Syndrome.”

In Seoul, the group had kicked off their second world tour Show What I Am at KSPO DOME, running from October 31 through November 2, expanding their global footprint. Looking ahead, IVE is set to continue expanding its presence across Asia, Europe, the United States, and Oceania as part of their expanding world tour and ongoing musical storytelling.
