IVE Embarks on a Friendship Journey in Latest Episode of '1.2.3 IVE'

The popular girl group IVE has set off on a friendship journey, as showcased in the latest episode of their reality series '1.2.3 IVE' Season 5, released on their official social media channels.

In this episode, leader Ahn Yujin takes the wheel, demonstrating her impressive driving skills while the group engages in a fun 'lying down talk' game, where they share stories based on random topics. The atmosphere is filled with laughter, but a heartfelt moment arises when Rei expresses her wish for IVE to last forever, touching the hearts of her fellow members.

The episode also features a cooking competition inspired by the show 'Black and White Chef: Cooking Class War.' The group splits into two teams: Team White, consisting of Jang Wonyoung and Liz, and Team Black, made up of Gaeul and Rei, with Ahn Yujin and Lee Seo serving as judges. Each team shares their aspirations for victory, adding excitement to the competition.

Both teams create unique dishes using ramen and various ingredients, aiming to impress the judges. Gaeul and Rei take a strategic approach, planning their menu and dividing roles effectively, while Wonyoung and Liz adopt a contrasting style by prioritizing ingredient selection before finalizing their dish.

As Gaeul and Rei maintain a calm cooking environment, they skillfully follow the catchphrases from 'Black and White Chef.' In contrast, Wonyoung emphasizes the importance of presentation, stating, "I like to eat with my eyes, so cutting evenly is the winning strategy."

While the teams prepare their meals, Ahn Yujin and Lee Seo enjoy some board games, sharing their food preferences and curiosity about the dishes being prepared. Eventually, the judges conduct a blind taste test, sampling Team Black's fried ramen and commenting on the need for better-cooked onions, while Ahn Yujin notes that Team White's Dongpo pork black bean ramen was frozen, expressing her disappointment.

Team White ultimately wins the competition, concluding the episode with a celebratory performance. However, viewers are left anticipating more special moments from IVE's friendship journey, teased for the next episode.

The final episode of '1.2.3 IVE' Season 5 will be available next Friday at 7:30 PM on IVE's official YouTube channel.
