신드롬·초통령·국민 걸그룹..아이브의 한계 없는 비행 [★창간22]④ - starnewskorea.com

In its September 9, 2026 report, Starnews says IVE established a rapid 'syndrome' from debut — beginning with 'ELEVEN' and continuing with successive hits that framed their narcissism-themed concept and led to the group being seen as a 'complete' act. The article cites IVE's live achievements (two world tours covering 19 countries/28 cities, a Lollapalooza Chicago appearance, large shows at Kyocera Dome and Tokyo Dome), cross-generational influence including many young fans that earned them the label '초통령', and projects that the group could expand musically and into individual activities toward becoming a national-level girl group.
