IVE is turning the week before Looks Can Kill into a three-day fan experience with Spotify. DIVE ACADEMY runs October 17–19 at Ark Gangnam in Seoul, ending with the first live…
IVE is giving DIVE a three-step way into the Looks Can Kill era before the full EP arrives on October 26.
The first step is physical. Spotify DIVE ACADEMY runs October 17-19 at Ark Gangnam in Seoul. October 17 and 18 are built as an immersive Girl Hero experience, with interactive missions and spaces designed around the new album's visual world rather than a simple merch pop-up.
The second step is the live reveal. On October 19, all six members are scheduled to perform the title track Looks Can Kill live for the first time, alongside another song from the EP. The title track is also the pre-release single scheduled for October 19, one week before the full EP.
The third step matters most for fans outside Seoul. Reporting based on the Spotify collaboration says the performance videos from DIVE ACADEMY will be released exclusively on Spotify after the event, and the talk session will also be available as a video podcast. That gives international DIVE an official route into the event instead of relying on fragmented fan recordings.
For anyone planning around the comeback, the practical timeline is simple: October 17-18 for the immersive experience, October 19 for the pre-release and first live stage, and October 26 for the full EP. Participation details for the Seoul event are being handled through Spotify Korea's official Instagram, so fans should use that account for the current application and entry instructions rather than third-party reposts.
