▶The following is the full text of how you feel about ending the activities of 'IVE Secret'

Ahn Yu-jin: I think I've strengthened my physical strength and mind through various activities this year. I was happy every moment I was on stage because of Dive (official fan club name) who always loved me generously. I'll be able to repay you with better music and performances. Also, on September 23rd, Netflix variety show 'Crime Scene Zero' will be released. I hope we can entertain our fans and viewers in various ways.




Autumn: I was so happy while preparing and promoting this album. First of all, I want to say thank you so much to the fans who gave us the gift of being #1 on music programs. Thanks to the fans' support, I gained the driving force to work harder.

Ray: I tried various styles on music shows and tried to show you different sides of me. I was really happy that Dive liked it. In September, we will be performing in Japan 'Rock in Japan FESTIVAL 2025'! Since it's a really famous and big festival in Japan, I'm already excited, but I'll do my best. Also, although the promotion is over, we're showing you various sides every Thursday on YouTube 'Try to Follow along', so please show us a lot of love!

Jang Won-young: I was proud to receive so much love this year, from 'reble heart', 'attitude' to 'XOXZ'. Especially during this promotion, I really can't forget the moment when the title song 'XOXZ', which I participated in writing lyrics, won first place on a music program. It was a dream thanks to Dive who gave us a lot of support and love every moment.

Liz: What do you do when you're doing activities?', I tried to show a variety of vocal performances through broadcasts and contents such as 'Limine Service' and 'Wuju Record'. I was really happy that the fans liked it, and I think I got more greedy because of the love Dive sent me. I tried writing the lyrics again through the album track 'Midnight Kiss'. I will continue to do my best to present good music to the fans with my voice and lyrics.

Lee Seo: I'm always excited to make a comeback and meet Dive. I was happy to finish this promotion healthy with my sisters, and every performance was like a gift. Especially, I remember when I handed the trophies to the sisters on the last music show stage, Inkigayo. I wanted to tell them before the promotion, but I was able to achieve it thanks to Dive. Thank you always and I love you, Dive!
