IVE is lending their voices to Japanese drama land — for the first time as a full group.
The K-pop sensation sang the opening track "DARE ME" for the new NTV drama DameMane! – Unpopular Talents, Managed! which premiered on April 20.
🎶 Powerful Message of Self-Encouragement
The track carries a bold message of self-motivation and personal growth — mirroring the drama's storyline of failed entertainers making a comeback with the help of a rookie manager hiding a mysterious past.
📺 First Full-Group OST for a Foreign Show
This marks IVE's first time as a full group to participate in the OST of a foreign production. Starship Entertainment stated, "IVE's energetic vocals bring an exciting start to the show."
🗣️ Group Statement
"We're honored to be part of DameMane! — it's such a refreshing experience. We hope our fans enjoy both the drama and the new song," said IVE.
📈 Chart Impact
"DARE ME" is already making moves — ranking on Korea's Melon HOT 100, and placing #18 on Japan's LINE Music Real-Time Chart, and #38 on the Daily Chart.
