SEOUL, Aug. 1 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group IVE is set to make a comeback later this month with a new mini album.

Starship Entertainment announced Friday that IVE will release their fourth mini album, titled "IVE SECRET," on August 25.

On the previous day, the group revealed the title of the lead track, "XOXZ," along with a teaser poster on their social media channels. The poster features all six members holding various props, including winged animal figures and origami cranes, evoking a whimsical and mysterious atmosphere.

"IVE SECRET" marks the group’s first release in six months since "IVE SWITCH," which dropped in February. All five of IVE’s albums released in Korea to date, including "IVE SWITCH," have achieved million-seller status.
