IVE’s youngest member, Leeseo, shared her thoughts on turning 20.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, IVE held a comeback showcase for its second full-length album, “REVIVE+,” at YES24 Live Hall in Seoul’s Gwangjin District.

“The biggest change is that, starting this year, all IVE members are adults,” Leeseo said, adding that fans can expect a wider range of sides from the group.

Leeseo, born Feb. 21, 2007, said returning with a second full-length album after becoming an adult makes “each day feel like a dream.”

“But honestly, I don’t think much has changed,” she said. “I want to stay happy as the youngest in IVE forever. Since this is my first comeback as an adult, I really want to do well.”

Member Rei said she noticed a shift during the group’s second world tour last year.

“It was the same songs, but compared with debut, Leeseo’s vibe, expressions and gestures naturally changed,” Rei said. “As an older member, it felt amazing to see.”

IVE’s second full-length album, “REVIVE+,” is set for release at 6 p.m. on the 23rd.
