IVE Announces New EP 'Looks Can Kill' with October 2026 Release Dates

IVE is generating significant buzz in Korea with the announcement of their new EP, 'Looks Can Kill'. This comeback marks their first domestic release in approximately eight months since their second full album 'REVIVE+' and follows the conclusion of their successful world tour, building high anticipation among fans.

Starship Entertainment confirmed that the new mini-album 'Looks Can Kill' will be released on October 26, 2026, preceded by a special pre-release on October 19, 2026. Promotional teasers, including projection mapping on city high-rise buildings featuring the new logo and the phrase 'IVE SPIN-OFF RELEASE 2026.10.19', have already been unveiled, hinting at their fresh concept.

Local bloggers are actively clarifying the two distinct comeback dates, advising fans not to confuse the pre-release with the full album launch. They note the significance of this return after a period of global touring and previous chart-topping success, suggesting that the title 'Looks Can Kill' implies a 'fatal appearance' concept, and recommend awaiting further official concept reveals.
