IVE is making waves with their hit track "REBEL HEART." The song just landed on Billboard’s list of ‘The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025 (So Far): Critic’s Picks.’
Billboard praised IVE for their international reach, commenting on the song’s bold lyrics like “So you can love me, hate me / You will never be / Try me, I’ll break free.”
"IVE delivers an empowering message,” Billboard said, “demonstrating that they are becoming an increasingly influential force and leading figure in the K-pop scene."
Originally released in January, "REBEL HEART" achieved a Perfect All-Kill (PAK) on major Korean charts and snagged 11 music show wins. The track’s popularity exploded globally, sticking around on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart for 10 weeks.
With over 57 million streams on Spotify, the music video is also racking up views.
Recently, IVE stole the spotlight at Lollapalooza Berlin and Lollapalooza Paris performing "REBEL HEART," creating a frenzy, including Korean singalongs from local fans.
Looking ahead, IVE will perform at the 2025 Coupang Play Series on July 30, during the match between Team K League and Newcastle United. They’ll headline the halftime show and participate in the opening pitch ceremony.
