I've IVE, Part 2
The second half of I've IVE (2023) turns from attitude to feeling. 섬찟 (Hypnosis) captures the chill of realising you have fallen for someone, NOT YOUR GIRL is a live-for-tonight concert song, and 궁금해 (Next Page), Cherish and Shine With Me are warmer songs about curiosity, an honest crush and gratitude. The vocabulary covers sudden reactions, hesitation and the words for comforting and appreciating someone.
