IVE Teases Comeback with New EP “IVE SECRET” Dropping August 25
K-pop girl group IVE is officially making their return to the music scene, and fans are already excited. The group has announced that their fourth extended play, titled IVE SECRET, will drop on August 25.
The announcement came with a set of teaser images. The word “XOXZ” was featured across the visuals, alongside surreal objects like flying pigs, paper cranes, a perfume bottle, and an old-school phone. Every member was pictured in a unique setup, and the vibe was mysterious.
This comeback marks IVE’s return after several months away from the spotlight. Their last release earlier this year, IVE EMPATHY, was a huge success both in Korea and internationally. Since then, the group has performed at major global festivals and continued to grow their fanbase across continents.

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
“It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.”
She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
