December 29, 2025
Year-end brings a special gift from IVE's Ahn Yujin. According to reports, Ahn Yujin released a medley of cover songs titled 'K-CAROL Covered by IVE ANYUJIN' on IVE's official YouTube channel, presenting a retro-styled production set against a karaoke backdrop. In the video, Ahn Yujin wears a school uniform paired with a coat, evoking memories of her school days, and vintage visual effects amplify the nostalgic mood for fans. The video gathers a medley of year-end songs that have long been loved in Korea. It reinterprets tracks that have stood the test of time with broad audience appeal, including EXO's '첫 눈', Fin.K.L's '화이트', and Wonder Girls' 'Be My Baby', with her own sensibility. Her clear, bright timbre lingers in listeners' ears, reaffirming her image as a 'reliable vocal', and she delivers stage-like energy through on-the-spot choreography and a range of facial expressions. Notably, she altered the lyrics herself. In the video, she sings the line '벌써 만난 지도 4년이 됐어', sending a message of affection for IVE and Dive's fourth anniversary. This message underscored a special bond with Dive and sparked buzz among fans. Beyond year-end activities, Ahn Yujin is active across multiple fields. She has appeared on tvN's '뿅뿅 지구오락실3' and Netflix's '크라임씬 제로', expanding her musical repertoire through OST singing. Recently, she was named in the '2025 Brand Loyalty Awards' in the Female Variety Idol category, and in the same year won the '2025 Brand of the Year' award in the Female Variety Idol category, extending her streak to three consecutive wins. Meanwhile, IVE is set to perform on KBS's '2025 Music Bank Global Festival in Japan' airing on the 30th. With this, Ahn Yujin's busy schedule across various broadcasts is expected to continue even after year-end stages.
