I really hope IVE flips the script in 2026. Not just visual changes, but I want to see them take actual risks with the music and choreo.
The concept for 'GOTCHA' was okay, but the song was just low tones from start to finish. It’s monotonous and lacks impact.
And seriously, stop being so obsessed with singing live on stage. It’s worse when the performance feels mid because they’re too scared to mess up the vocals. Just save the perfect live for concerts or encores when they aren't dancing. For regular stages, just go all out on the performance. They should be able to manage their energy like that.
Starship is frustrating too. Stop being cowards and making safe choices. They need to take a real risk like they did with Love Dive. Anyone can play it safe to maintain the status quo; what we need right now is a knockout punch.
Go all-in on IVE, Starship. Take some risks already, or you’re gonna get left behind.
"Fans and critics are feeling 'IVE fatigue,' calling out Starship for playing it too safe and claiming the group's performance skills have gone soft since debut."
