IVE are giving DIVE an early look at their next era. Ahead of the release of their new EP Looks Can Kill on 26 October, the K-pop group are teaming up with Spotify for Spotify DIVE ACADEMY, a three-day fan experience taking place at Ark Gangnam, Seoul, from 17 to 19 October.
The event will kick off on 17 and 18 October with an immersive experience inspired by IVE's return as "Girl Heroes". Fans will be able to explore interactive zones, complete special missions, and step into the visuals, energy, and storytelling behind Looks Can Kill.
On 19 October, DIVE ACADEMY will transform into a concert space for a one-night-only live show featuring ANYUJIN, GAEUL, REI, JANGWONYOUNG, LIZ, and LEESEO.
The group will perform fan favourites alongside brand-new material, including the first-ever live performance of the Looks Can Kill title track, which will be released on the same day. Another song from the forthcoming EP will also be performed ahead of its full release on 26 October.
The evening will also feature a talk segment, giving the members an opportunity to share more about their new era and the making of Looks Can Kill.
"We're so grateful to DIVE for always showing up for us on Spotify," shared IVE. "Spotify DIVE ACADEMY is our way of returning that love, and we're thrilled to be working with Spotify to make this happen. We can't wait for DIVE to experience Looks Can Kill with us, and look forward to spending this time together."

For fans unable to attend in Seoul, videos of all performances from the event will subsequently be released exclusively on Spotify. A special video podcast featuring the talk segment will also be made available on the platform.
Details on how to attend Spotify DIVE ACADEMY will be announced via Spotify Korea's Instagram account.
