Gaeul says @IVEstarship's new music feels like it's for a catwalk at a fashion show. "It's got a strong energy," she says at the media showcase. (rough translation)
(I like this description by the way, "Love Dive" has that same fierceness!!)

Gaeul and Leeseo are showing the point choreography moves for two parts of @IVEstarship's "Love Dive," lots of focus on hand movements. The move for the "love dive" lyrics are fun, I could see a lot of people imitating it

A musical moment to show the power of artistic admiration and a K-pop co-signs: @BebeRexha's remix of "Break My Heart Myself" with @ITZYofficial's Yeji and Ryujin is one of my favorite stories of the year and I love this new friendship!
