IVE's Ray logs first solo OST, world tour stops, and Asian Games promo role in packed 2026
IVE's Ray sang her first solo OST for the Disney+/Channel A drama *너에게 다이브*, toured Hong Kong and Taipei, and became a KBS Asian Games ambassador in 2026.
Ray's solo OST debut and a busy second half of 2026
IVE member Ray (나오이 레이) added her first solo OST credit to a year already packed with group activities. She sang on the soundtrack for 너에게 다이브, a new drama co-produced by Disney+ and Channel A.
The six-member group — An Yujin, Gaeul, Ray, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Iseo — released pre-release single BANG BANG and second full-length album IVE REVIVE+ in 2026, with Ray participating in both campaigns.
From Taipei Arena back to Seoul
IVE's second world tour, SHOW WHAT I AM, kept Ray on the road. The run opened in Hong Kong in early September, then moved to Taipei Arena on the 12th for a multi-day stand. She returned through Incheon International Airport on the 14th.
She is also serving as a promotional ambassador for KBS's 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games broadcast. Born in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan on February 3, 2004, the hometown angle basically wrote itself.
How she got here
Ray passed the Roen Friends Global Audition held in Tokyo before debuting with IVE on December 1, 2021 through the group's debut single ELEVEN. She performed official rap parts alongside Gaeul on After LIKE, the title track of IVE's third single album, and has since obtained a TOPIK Level 4 Korean language certification.
