Released on October 19, “Looks Can Kill” serves as the lead and pre-release track for IVE’s upcoming EP of the same name.
A post on TheQoo shared overseas reactions to the song alongside its music video, jokingly declaring, “Welcome back, K-pop ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.”
The discussion that followed was also largely positive, with commenters praising the song’s catchy hook, music video and individual member moments.
Several users singled out An Yujin’s high notes, while others praised Jang Wonyoung’s visuals and Rei’s scenes in the music video.
One commenter said the song reminded them of IVE’s earlier track “BANG BANG,” describing both as having a familiar appeal, while another said “I AM” remained their favorite IVE song.
The response was not universally positive, with a few users describing the song or music video as less suited to their personal taste. Still, the sampled discussion leaned heavily toward excitement over IVE’s latest release.
IVE’s new EP Looks Can Kill is scheduled for release on October 26.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled discussion was largely positive, with users praising the song, music video and individual member moments, although a few preferred IVE’s previous releases.
1. They seriously did such a f*cking good job with this song ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. I wanna grow up to be IVE too.
3. I like the part that goes “da-da-da-ri-ra?”
4. What is going on with Wonyoung’s leg length in that thumbnail? I already watched the whole music video, but I’m amazed all over again.
5. I’m not really sure it’s that good. Out of IVE’s songs, “I AM” is still my favorite.
6. The music video is so cute too ㅋㅋㅋ The part where she screams when the bee lands on her nose is so funny ㅜㅜ Rei dancing with those yellow nails looks cool too.
7. “BANG BANG” was on another level, so you can’t really compare them, but this song is good too. There’s something really familiar about it. IVE really is IVE.
8. The song is f*cking good, and when An Yujin’s high note suddenly bursts out, it’s so satisfying ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
9. It’s just funny whenever international fans say things like “Welcome back, K-pop” ㅋ The song is good.
10. The music video kind of reminds me of La Chica. It wasn’t really my style, but I see the response is good.
