IVE added another trophy to their collection on March 8, taking their seventh music show win for pre-release track "BANG BANG" on SBS's "Inkigayo."

The competition was fierce, with IVE going up against BLACKPINK's "GO" and rookie group Hearts2Hearts' "RUDE!" for the top spot. IVE ultimately secured the victory with 6,612 points, continuing their impressive run with the track.

This latest win comes as BLACKPINK maintains their own momentum with "GO," a track from their recently released "DEADLINE" mini album. The album has been making waves globally, recently debuting at No. 11 on the UK's Official Albums Chart and breaking multiple girl group records since its release.

The March 8 "Inkigayo" episode also featured performances from WOODZ and Hearts2Hearts, showcasing the diverse talent currently dominating the K-pop scene. Hearts2Hearts' "RUDE!" making it into the top three candidates demonstrates the competitive nature of today's music show landscape.

For IVE, "BANG BANG" serves as a pre-release track, building anticipation for their upcoming full project. The song's consistent performance on music shows - now with seven wins under its belt - suggests strong fan support and broad appeal across different audiences.

The win highlights how both established groups like BLACKPINK and rising acts like IVE continue to push each other to new heights. While BLACKPINK focuses on their global expansion with "DEADLINE," IVE proves they're a formidable domestic force with their music show dominance.

This victory also puts IVE in strong position as they prepare for their next major release, having built significant momentum with "BANG BANG." The track's success across multiple music shows demonstrates the group's growing influence in the competitive K-pop landscape.
