The 'rookie monster' group IVE presented a zombie-concept performance reminiscent of Netflix's 'Now At Our School' (hereafter Ji-Hak).
Wonder K Originals (1theK Originals) posted on the YouTube channel yesterday (17th), 'Ive XK Zombie Encounter!
We released a video titled 'Performance like a scene from a movie'.

The video begins with leader Ahn Yu-jin running around a blood-stained school and hastily running away to the classroom.
However, in the classroom where he escaped, he met a zombie and eventually bitten by a zombie, increasing the immersion of the concept.
Ahn Yu-jin, who became a zombie, performed her first performance to Ariana Grande's song '7 Rings', followed by Ive's members Gaul and Lee-seo on the rooftop with 'Save me' and 'SOS' written in red letters on the roof, Louis Blisset. I danced to 'Killing Butterfilia'.

However, Autumn and Lee Seo were bitten by Ahn Yu-jin who came to the rooftop and eventually turned into zombies, and from the middle of the song, the three members continued their performances with a zombie concept.
Lastly, all Ive members performed a sword choreography on the school grounds to the Jawar Twin's 'Happy Face'.

The Ive members lined up with the dancers and showed a choreography reminiscent of zombies by bending their heads and turning their joints.
When the video was released, not only domestic fans but also overseas fans who were attracted to K-zombies responded.
Fans at home and abroad were enthusiastic about Ive's fresh transformation, saying, "I slept all tonight. I was so scared, so I turned on the room lights," and "The details are crazy. When is the next episode coming out?"

One netizen watched the scene where member Jang Won-young, which was additionally revealed in the ending credits, climbed up on the roof alone, and said, "(He) was not the last survivor, but barely survived and climbed up the roof, but he could not be rescued, so he looked around and shook his head." ' and Ive's performance video were cross-interpreted.
At the end of last year, Ive also released a video of 'The Stage Genius Ive's Teen Concept Performance' through Wonder K Original.
This was the same school background as the zombie concept, but it was a dance video that showed a completely different atmosphere.

The previously released teen performance was composed of a bright and lively performance, unlike the zombie concept, with the members redecorating Lee Seo, who usually wore glasses.
In 'Ive High School', the performances of the members showed a contrasting atmosphere, "Ive is good at acting," "a group looking forward to more," and "The video is so fun, I want to see more of this concept", etc., from fans.
