On March 7, the Korea Music Content Association, which operates Circle Chart, confirmed that IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) topped three major charts in February.

Their third mini-album, ‘IVE EMPATHY’, ranked No.1 on the Monthly Album Chart.

Pre-release track ‘REBEL HEART’ took No.1 on both the Monthly Digital and Streaming Charts.

This massive achievement further cements IVE as a chart-topping digital powerhouse!

According to Hanteo Chart, IVE EMPATHY recorded 1,048,048 copies in first-week sales, making IVE a five-time million-seller.

The group’s pre-release track ‘REBEL HEART’ became an instant hit, earning a Perfect All-Kill (PAK) by dominating all major real-time, daily, and Top 100 charts in Korea, including Melon, Genie, FLO, Vibe, and Bugs.

Meanwhile, the album’s other title track ‘ATTITUDE’ has also been making waves! Although promotions officially ended on February 16, the song is still going strong thanks to the viral “raging guinea pig” (폭주기니) part by Rei, which took over TikTok.

On March 5, ATTITUDE ranked:

• No.3 on TikTok Korea’s ‘Viral 50’ Chart
• No.9 on the ‘Top 50’ Chart

With REBEL HEART, IVE secured an impressive 11 wins on Korean music programs, while ATTITUDE added four more, bringing their total for IVE EMPATHY to 15 trophies!

Even weeks after their promotions ended, ATTITUDE is still a strong contender for No.1 on music programs, showing IVE’s undeniable impact.

On top of that, IVE was recently ranked No.1 in the February 2025 Star Brand Reputation Rankings, proving that their influence goes beyond just music charts.

With this record-breaking success, fans are excited to see what IVE will do next.

BLACKPINK member Jennie opened up about her life after going independent and starting her own company!

On March 9, a new episode featuring Jennie was uploaded to the YouTube channel Fairy Jaehyung.

During the conversation, Jung Jae Hyung brought up Jennie’s recent overseas interview and praised her, saying, “Just like you said, it seems like you’ve really learned how to find yourself. Do you think you realized this more after going solo?”

Jennie nodded and shared, “That’s right. I was surprised by myself too. Before, I used to share responsibilities with my members, but now I have to handle everything on my own.”

Jung Jae Hyung then pointed out that Jennie now has a whole team working under her. When he asked how many people are in her company, Jennie revealed, “Right now, there are about 15 people.”

The conversation then shifted to the challenges of running a company, especially the high costs of album production. Jennie admitted, “When I decided to start my own company and go independent, I had a lot of discussions with my mom. There was something we both agreed on.”

She continued, “If there’s something I really want to do or a dream I want to achieve, I should see it through to the end. If I don’t want to do it afterward, then I don’t have to. But it wouldn’t be right to just complain or have regrets without even trying.” She added, “That’s why I invest a lot in myself.”

Meanwhile, in December 2023, Jennie officially launched ODD ATELIER (OA), her own one-person agency, with her mother. She is currently active as both an artist and CEO of the company.
