IVE took home their first music show trophy for BLACKHOLE on the March 4 episode of Show Champion, beating out stiff competition from BLACKPINK, NCT JNJM, Hearts2Hearts, and ONE PACT.

If you’re a fan of K-pop music updates, today was a big day — IVE just kicked off their BLACKHOLE era with a bang, claiming a coveted first-place trophy just days into their comeback cycle. Let’s break down everything that went down.
