At the 2022 Melon Music Awards, IVE won their first Daesang for "Song of the Year" for the first time. All of the members were very happy to get such a great prize. Some of the members even cried, and Ahn Yujin broke down in tears as she spoke.

Jang Wonyoung also did everything she could to keep from crying. Jang Wonyoung is such a strong god-baby that she comforted Yujin and Leeseo when they were emotional.

Jang Wonyoung tried to keep it together, but when she got back to her seat, she couldn't help but cry out of gratitude.

The moment was caught on camera by her fan site. It seemed like stars were shining in her eyes.

Jang Wonyoung looked up to stop her tears from falling, and she looked like she was very upset. The result was a beautiful painting that quickly went viral.

The original post on her fan site got over 13,700 likes, and that number is still growing. Everyone told her that she looked like an angel.

Someone else said that her hair and outfit made her look like "a total mermaid". How can she look so beautiful even though she's crying? If we tried it, we'd just look like a sad tomato.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
