Within IVE's six-member lineup, Liz (Kim Ji-won) has carved a distinct space through a warm vocal tone that fans and observers alike have noted as one of the group's more immediately recognizable textures. Born on November 21, 2004, she has extended her presence beyond IVE's collective discography through solo OST contributions that place her voice in a more intimate, unaccompanied context.
Solo work & OST contributions
Outside of IVE's group releases, Liz has taken on two solo soundtrack roles. In 2024 she contributed "Summer" to the *Love Your Enemy* OST as Part 7, a track that drew on a lighter, season-specific tone. In 2025 she followed with a contribution to the *Heavenly Ever After* Original Television Soundtrack (Pt. 5), titled "Heavy Love" — a pairing of title and sentiment that suits the ballad-adjacent space Korean drama soundtracks typically occupy. Both releases exist in vocal and instrumental versions, suggesting they were produced with the full architecture of a drama placement in mind rather than as promotional singles. For a vocalist still early in her career, OST work of this kind offers a measurable degree of artistic exposure distinct from a group comeback cycle.
Group membership
Liz is a current member of IVE, the girl group formed under Starship Entertainment that debuted in December 2021. Her role within the group centers on vocals.
