IVE, The Group of the Year

Group Ive (Ahn Yu-jin, Ga-gaeul, Lay, Jang Won-young, Liz, Lee Seo) proved that they are the trend of 2022.

On the afternoon of the 26th, 'MMA2022 Presented by Kakao Bank' (MELON MUSIC AWARDS, Melon Music Awards) was held at Gocheok Sky Dome, Guro-gu, Seoul.

On this day, starting with the 'Rookie of the Year' award, Ive won the 'TOP10', 'Best Group Female' and 'Best Song of the Year' awards. 

It is not easy for a group to win both the rookie award and the grand prize. It was unprecedented in 'MMA2022'. IVE drew more attention. 

After Ahn Yu-jin won 'Best Song of the Year', she was speechless with tears. She said, "We received so many awards. Among them, it is such a great honor to be able to receive both the Rookie Award and the Song of the Year award. Many people worked hard before the song of the year 'LOVE DIVE' was born. All of them Thank you Starship family. More than anything, thank you so much for our dive. There is something I really want to say. This award was only possible because there were 6 of us. Each and every member is precious and I love you. Ive will be Iting in the future, so a lot. I hope you will love me."
