IVE is making a great run in the South Korean music program circuits with their latest comeback, “BANG BANG.” The idols have earned multiple wins, and Music Core wasn’t the exception to the rule.

On February 28 KST, Music Core hyped the audience with an iconic array of performers, including CHASER, LAVIN, NAVILLERA, SEVENUS’ Heejae, Herarts2Hearts, MADEIN, NCT’s JNJM, and IVE, among other great acts. Just before the show ended, the hosts took over the stage to announce the three nominees of the weekly competition.

IVE’s “BANG BANG,” Hearts2Hearts’ “RUDE!” and KiiiKiii’s “404 (New Era)” were all competing for the crown. Ultimately, IVE emerged to the top with a total score of 7,103 points, followed by KiiiKiii in second place with 5,704 points, and Hearts2Hearts in third with 3,735 points. The idols took the stage to express their gratitude to all the fans and audience who have been supporting them during this brand new era:
“Since this is our full-length album, we prepared a lot, and we’re happy that it’s being loved. Please continue to show us your interest. We’re thrilled to receive an award for "BANG BANG" while promoting "BLACKHOLE." Please give "BLACKHOLE" lots of love as well. Above all, we’re so thankful to DIVE.”
