K-pop sensation IVE has snagged their second music show trophy for their latest title track 'XO, XOXO'. The six-member group, celebrated as the 'MZ Wannabe Icons,' secured first place on the MBC music program 'Show! Music Core,' which aired on the 6th.

This latest victory adds to the 'XO, XOXO' win previously achieved on Mnet's 'M Countdown,' marking a significant milestone for the group's fourth mini-album, 'IVE SECRET.' The group has now achieved a double crown with their new release, showcasing their continued popularity.

In a statement released through their agency, Starship Entertainment, IVE expressed their gratitude to their dedicated fanbase, DIVE.

The album explores the multifaceted nature of the group by shedding light on the hidden aspects behind their dazzling exterior. The title track, 'XO, XOXO,' delves into complex emotions, weaving them into a powerful rhythm and refined melody that leaves a lasting impression.

Beyond music shows, IVE is actively engaging in various broadcasts and content, showcasing their diverse charms both individually and as a group. Their future endeavors are highly anticipated. IVE is scheduled to perform 'XO, XOXO' on SBS's 'Inkigayo' today, the 7th.
