Hi beautiful human. I am Zach. That is

Dan. And we welcome to the studio for

the first time ever. Really my

favorites. Say hello to Iive.

>> So two sweets live. Hi. We are.

>> Thanks for having us.

>> You guys, thanks for being here. You

>> No way.

>> You are awesome. By the way, we're on a

tour right now.

>> Yeah. Right. It is. Just real quick,

what is the most American thing that has

happened to you throughout this US tour

so far?

>> Maybe visiting here.

>> Oh, the tour hasn't started. Oh my god,

it's brand new. But it's starting now.

>> It's brand new and we are going to come

to US soon as possible.

>> Well, okay. So, let's talk. I'm so

confused here. But you are starting a

new tour, correct?

>> Yes. We had a concert on Saul. So it has

started but we

didn't really start it.

>> Okay.

>> You know we just had a concert.

>> You had one show leading up to that.

>> Yeah. Right. Thank you. Then

>> I've been seeing videos of the vocals.

So I'm just under I I I'm trying to

understand where they're coming from. So

they're coming from that Tokyo show.

>> How much preparation goes into a world

tour like this?

>> Maybe like six months.

>> Whoa.

>> Yeah. Or more than six months. Yeah.

So what have you taken from tour number

one though that you're applying to tour

number two because you have talked very

much about growth, right?

>> I could tell individually we obviously

grew up but for a group I think we

really kept in touch and the bond gets

stronger and stronger.

>> Does that not apply to obviously the

album that I'm so excited to discuss,

right? Like it is about we opposed to

maybe the music before was more about

me. Correct.

>> Yeah,

>> correct.

>> H how does that actually apply to the

dynamics

every day?

>> Maybe while while we're practicing we

can tell like like without just small

gestures and just small expressions. I

think I could tell members like

expression or like how does she feel

right now? So I think yeah it's kind of

sensing sense is growing up. The album,

by the way, it is this like in my per my

personal opinion this perfect pop EDM

journey.

>> Wow. Thank you.

>> It's It's so good. It's Yes. Yes.

>> But also, total sidebar, Attitude is one

of my favorite alltime songs.

>> Really?

>> Yes. Yes. Yes.

>> Wow. So happy to hear that.

>> Are you kidding? Uh uh. Even if I

stumble, luck is always on my side.

>> Wow. Yeah,

>> that's a real lyric.

>> That's the key lyric.

>> That's everything.

>> Yes, that's my favorite lyric. Sure,

>> right?

>> My luck is luck is everything on my

side. Is that right?

>> Yes.

>> Yeah, that's my favorite lyrics.

>> Who wrote that? You who somebody here

wrote this, right?

>> I wrote I participated in that

>> in that song, but that was not my coat.

But that's my favorite lyrics at that

song. It's like really beautiful and to

sing that consistently is an awesome

reminder. No,

>> thank you.

>> It's cool. It's very cool.

>> You're so sweet.

>> Can Can we just talk about the overall

sound of Revive Plus? I'm saying it

correctly, right? And what does it mean

to

>> Revive? And then what does that plus

like really signify?

>> Uh Revive Plus, the title of our second

full album. Um cuz it's a second full

album. Literally, we wanted to revive

ourselves. We were living it great, but

just reviving in our music genre. So, we

tried, you said, like pop, EDM, it was

kind of a revive in IV's music, not only

IV.

>> Can we talk about your individual colors

and who you are as individuals and how

that makes up a

the strongest possible group.

>> Oh, now I'm 20 this year.

>> Yes. In Korea.

>> Wow. Happy happy birthday.

>> Thank you. Thank you so much. And so I'm

adult in Korea. So I want to like

feel not express

my energy and myself. So my solo track,

solo songs in album. So I express my

um energy and something like

a bright color like that.

>> That's right.

>> Bright energy.

>> Yes. Right.

>> I think my good power good point is

energy. energetic part

>> because especially during the concert

like

that

is one of my

I'm kind of shy but attractive point

during the live.

So,

I'm kind of shy because you're looking

and you're staring at me like, "Okay,

say it, girl." Okay. But yeah,

>> I won't look at you. I'm sorry.

>> Oh, you got

like you're in front of me and like

you're like, "Okay."

But yeah, I just want to say that my

attractive part is a good energy.

Powerful energy.

>> Beautiful.

>> for me.

>> Sorry, I won't look at you.

>> Do stare at me. Do you girl?

>> But I'm okay. You can stare at me.

>> Okay. Thank you.

>> But I'm going to stare at you, too.

In Korea especially, I have something

like special nickname and character in

Korea and which is lucky Vicki that I

told you my name is Vicki.

>> Yes, I've read about you being lucky

Vicki.

>> Yes. And so like previously you talk

about the code and attitude like luck is

every day on my side and I love the

lyrics cuz I really do think like that

and it's also my moto for my life. So I

have really lucky and bright energy

charming girl. I'm telling you, you

manifest that. Like,

>> yes, I really manifest that.

>> What you think, what you believe is what

you become.

too.

I like my voc too.

>> You want to show everybody's like her

vocal how

>> wonderful she is.

>> She wants to sing.

>> You sing right now?

>> Sing.

>> Yeah. Sing.

No. No.

>> She's a shy person.

>> Yeah. So, so shy person. The vocals are

crazy. Thank you.

You thought your personality and who you

truly were would would have been a

burden.

totally

and it adds so much to the group.

Very cool.

Can you describe the type of

responsibility it is being the oldest

member of the group? Like what falls on

your shoulders that wouldn't fall on

another member?

Ray has mentioned that during your

training days you followed all the

rules. It's kind of how you fell into

the role of being a leader. One, I'm

assuming that's true. And then two, do

you still follow all the rules?

>> Oh,

maybe you're close to that

close to that.

Yeah. Like what? Okay. like the biggest

life change after you debut because like

you made it through being a trainee.

>> Yeah.

>> Like

it isn't the hardest part of this whole

thing, but it is incredibly challenging.

So like what's one thing that you stuck

to religiously as a trainee that you

gave up the second you debuted and made

it in an actual group?

>> Wow.

Oh, I have one thing. before debuted I

thought I must follow what

my company Starship says

but not in a bad way but I thought it's

just natural thing I had to do but after

debuted uh there are lots of good staffs

work with us so I can just

like suggest some good things how about

filming this like this and they suggest

me too

>> it's a collaboration

>> yeah it changed a lot. So, I love that

part.

>> It's beautiful.

>> Thank you.

>> I think when I was 20, we can't use

Instagram,

but now

>> we're free.

>> So happy.

>> And we are swiping.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Swiping.

>> Love Instagram.

>> Uploading, reposting,

>> doom scrolling, the whole thing. The

whole thing. We're a part of the We're a

part of the algorithm.

>> And we don't use message and call to

while we practicing time.

>> Oh, that's good.

>> In training.

>> Yeah. So you you set off like like you

you disconnect when you're rehearsing

and practicing

>> while when we were training. Not not

right now.

>> Not now.

>> So that was very hard part. We couldn't

use like phone or messages while we were

practicing.

>> But that changes. Yeah, a lot. Now we

are free.

>> Where have you guys grown the most since

you debuted almost 5 years ago at this

point?

>> I think our teamwork has grown a lot

>> because we talk to each other a lot like

from heart.

>> Mhm.

>> Like honestly to each other that changed

a lot and just for me I think I got a

lot of confidence. So now I can speak in

English.

>> Nice.

>> And yeah, I can perform on live very

confidently. Yeah.

we're speaking of debut, 11 was one of

the most explosive debuts in K-pop

history.

>> Thank you.

>> I mean, it really You won an award just

in seven days. Did the instant success

of all that feel like a dream or did it

feel

I mean can you describe that like is it

what you actually dreamed of while being

a trainee

>> after like kind of that success

honestly it doesn't really come to my

skin I couldn't really felt with my skin

at the first point but

like

really important part was how thankful

to a dive art. So, we were really

thankful to our dives and all the steps

that helped us. So, at the first point,

I was just like appreciating everybody.

Oh my god, is it was all our works.

>> By the way, were you guys surprised that

Dive was there instantly to catch you

the second you guys debuted?

Was anybody worried?

>> Of course.

>> Of course.

I I clearly remember

when I debuted it as

the song 11 and I checked the chart

immediately after the release and

it was higher than I thought. So I

really shocked. Wow, there are dives

here. So I was really surprised and

happy. What's scarier debuting or

first day of traininee?

>> Maybe first day of training.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Cuz debut is kind of start of something

a new chapter of something but maybe

trainy are like little mysterious. I

cannot like predict.

>> You didn't know what to expect.

>> Yeah. I cannot predict any anything. So

I think Yeah.

>> It's crazy, right?

>> Kind of. Crazy.

>> What was your first impressions of each

other?

>> Very young. So, she said baby by

herself.

>> Yes, because I saw Eugene

in

>> middle school.

>> Middle school. Yes. Middle school.

>> Wow.

>> So, I'm now I'm adult.

>> Five years ago, we met both baby. First

time,

>> but still looks like a me.

>> Honestly, I can't remember. What? But

but

>> try to remember it all.

>> I thought you're so cute.

>> Really?

>> Everybody.

>> Everybody.

>> Yeah. Pretty

>> pretty pretty girls.

>> My first expression was like it was just

like six of girls. Just girls. Cute

girls. Yeah. We just girls. But when we

were on the stage, we like changed to

IV. So that was very really like

attractive part to me.

You can feel the change in each one of

you when you come together as a group.

>> It's very special.

>> You've grown a lot.

>> It's really cool. And the music the

music has evolved with you guys.

>> That's right.

>> Um, can we talk? I mean, I don't even

No. What were you

>> Black hole?

>> Oh, okay. That makes sense.

>> Can you explain the meaning and like

what role it plays in this album?

>> Oh, it's a good one.

>> I think the song Black Hole represents

the most of Revive plays. Mhm.

>> is very reviving and very new chapter of

Vive and also very the scale got bigger

compared to our previous album. So I

think that is the most representative

song in Revive Plus.

>> It's described as this like power that

pulls you in rather than explodes. Like

what does that really mean?

It's very cool.

>> It's revive plus.

Come on.

>> Can we talk about eight?

>> Eight.

>> Is it my solo song?

>> Yes.

>> Yes.

>> Oh, it's so good. So good. Also, um,

>> I love that song.

>> Eight. It's great. Bang Bang is amazing.

>> Yes.

>> Um, I really I I love Hot Coffee.

>> I really like that song.

your favorite song.

>> Yes. Right.

>> Tell me why.

You want you

>> That's okay. What is that? Rude. Well,

sometimes people say you don't ask

>> Sorry. But but we were fine. But we were

fine. We were fine. Totally.

>> Well, you don't ask like an old person.

You know what I mean?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. That's kind of a good part, too,

cuz you ask we cuz we look young, right?

>> 23 is young, sister.

>> How old do we look?

>> I don't fall for it.

>> Oh, hi.

>> Oh my god. Do I get treated differently

now that I'm like old?

>> No, you're never old. Looks like

>> never old age.

>> By the way, I got to say people do say

that like age is just like a mindset.

You know what I mean? So like whatever.

Yeah, just a number.

>> It's literally just a number. Yes. Just

>> don't have to care about that.

>> That's right. Live free. I mean, in some

situations, we care, but you know what?

In most situations, we live free,

>> right?

>> But we have to care about the health.

>> That

>> That's the point.

>> So real.

>> We don't have to care about the numbers,

but we have to care about the health

>> 100%. Keep the knees well. Keep the back

in shape. Yes. Go to the doctor for

checkups.

>> Yeah.

>> Come on.

>> And health is wealth, brother. No,

health is wealth. Can we talk about Bang

Bang?

>> Bang bang.

>> We love Bang Bang.

>> So, the song Achieved a Perfect All

Kill.

>> Can you explain what that means and what

it means to achieve that?

>> Amazing.

>> Amazing.

>> Thankful thing to us.

>> You've had a couple of them, too.

>> Yes.

>> It's like six or something. I I There's

a lot. You've had

>> Perfect.

>> All kills. Yeah.

>> All kills. Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Could you describe what an all kill is,

though? Can you define it for everybody?

>> Yeah, it means

win uh like being a first place of all

music charts in Korea.

>> Yeah,

>> that's the define of all kills.

>> Casual. Pretty cool.

>> Happy.

>> Like it hits different when you say it

like like when you remind yourself what

it is.

>> Tops all the charts.

>> It's amazing.

>> It reminds me again to saying it in my

world word world. Yeah. It's amazing

things that Bang Bang did.

>> Can you tell me what it is about that

song though that that like Yeah. that

you feel really maybe grabbed everybody

a little bit differently or hit

differently because it the song is good.

>> Yes. The song Bang Bang has really

intense and powerful side of us and I

think it's very different from what we

did previously. So I think that point

got some catched some mind of audience

and dive. So yeah I left a strong and

intense part of us too.

Real is do you guys feel responsibility

at all like uh the weight of what it

means genuinely to be an idol and then

also like what that means to young kids

and really people of all ages that

>> really enjoy your music but feel shaped

by it as well. Especially in Korea, you

were really like specific of that

because we do have a lot of baby dives.

We call baby dives in Korea. So, we have

really like growing up dives in our like

in our group of dive.

>> So, we really wanted to give them a good

influence and like good path to them to

through our songs. So we are always

thinking of that part too.

>> And you take them into account with your

dance moves, right?

>> Of course.

>> It's very cool.

>> Yes.

>> Ray, can we talk about your rap flow?

How did you find it? How did you acquire

it? How'd your flow come to be?

>> Wow.

>> Yeah. Now,

>> I think you were born to do it, eh?

>> Really?

>> I feel like you were. How do you Okay,

so how do you match your flow with this?

Uh

I don't know like I feel like it

complements the overall eye of energy,

but like does that does the group change

your flow or is your flow independent no

matter what? Does that make sense?

Why was it important for everyone to

have a solo song on this album?

>> Cuz this revive plus album was our

second biggest album cuz we have like

mini album, single album, but this is

like full length album. So we got to

like kind of

get more specific thing and get more

stronger thing in album. So we thought

every day and we concerned about it and

then we come up with a solo solo songs.

So we start our solo song in soul

concert

>> before we released our album. So at that

point fan first heard that and what was

what's the songs cuz these songs are not

in the world right now. So starting from

the concert after that we just put it on

our full length album. So, tada is our

solo songs.

>> But would you consider IV Iive your

first full length album?

>> Yeah. Right. I I

>> And then Revive Plus would be your

second full length album.

>> Exactly.

>> Can you describe the growth between

those two projects because obviously

there's two EPs between the two. I think

for our first full album I I've it was

kind of album that we wanted to make an

image that we already have.

>> First we wanted to make our image of IV

like identity of IV at the first full

length album

>> and then maybe second album is the

growth of us.

>> Yeah. Right. We wanted to challenge

for a new music style. So we tried IDM

Pav and also Black Hole as well. So I

think that's the difference. The first

album was

kind of express ourselves that we

already had and the second was kind of

challenging IV's new way. Yeah, that's

the difference.

>> By the way, all the music is waiting for

you. It's on Amazon Music. There's a

link below.

>> Perfect.

>> Yeah. Go, go, go. And you said how to

choose the song.

>> Yeah.

>> How do you build a set list? How do you

build a set? The album, right? Not the

light, not the tour.

>> I mean, let's start with let's start

with tour for a second because you do

have so I mean there's so much to pick

from and there's only so little time,

>> right? We have hard time choosing songs

for set list. Right.

>> One hours, two hours like

talking each other. Yeah, every member

has different favorite songs, so we have

to discuss a lot.

>> So, but we kind of

do a doing a vote.

>> There's like a vote system.

>> Yeah. Like, uh, do you like this? Well,

for example, like, do you love royal?

Then, hands up. And ah, I think kind of

this song is too hard or like too old.

>> We have the newest newest song. So we

discuss like that

>> and we yeah literally discuss like one

hours two hours so we come up with the

best at least.

>> That's fun. You guys vote on everything

though like is is democracy the way we

achieve solutions.

>> Yeah we we prefer democracy but not for

the awesome because it is a full length

album. So

>> we're just controversial songs only cuz

we we have like fixed songs but they're

all controversial songs like somebody

love it but somebody thinks it's too old

or something something. So

>> yeah there are some songs don't need to

vote like love dive I am

>> bang

song totally totally

>> don't need to vote. Can we tell me? Can

you explain the origin story of I don't

want to pronounce this wrong, but Bob

Sims?

>> Popsim?

>> Oh my god. Do you know Pop Shims?

>> Well, it's like a it's a it's like it's

a it's a subgroup within the group. It's

a unit. It's like you guys hang out.
