South Korean girl group IVE have unveiled the concept film BANGERS for their second full length album, REVIVE+. The film opens with the phrases, “Isn’t it boring?” and “Don’t you want to go crazy for once?” Its visual direction centres on a message of being unapologetically loud, fearless and explosive.
Throughout the video, members Gaeul, An Yu-jin, Rei, Jang Won-young, Liz, and Leeseo are shown moving to high energy rhythms: at one point immersed in a crowd. The film builds gradually before concluding with the statement “Say it out loud! Me and my girls are not loud enough yet!” With a sensual tone and limitless fervour, IVE compel all listeners to dance.
Ahead of the release of BANGERS, IVE shared another concept film titled SPOILERS on 26 January. The earlier video served as a teaser for upcoming album REVIVE+ and its pre-release single, “BANG BANG” which was released on 9 February.
