IVE member Liz raised the excitement for her comeback by appearing on the web variety show 'Cellphone KODE.' In the episode released on January 23 through the YouTube channel 'KODE cord,' Liz introduced herself as an 'otter.' She explained the reason for choosing this nickname by saying, "I happened to watch a video about otters, and since then, I became obsessed with them."

During the show, Liz actively communicated by asking various questions through anonymous chat with her conversation partner. When asked about her part-time job experience, she shared stories from filming the YouTube content 'Workdol,' cleverly hiding her identity. Liz mentioned sundae gukbap as her soul food and also shared a delicious way to enjoy the recently popular 'Dujjonku (Dubai chewy cookie).'

Liz revealed that she enjoys Yoo Byung-jae's YouTube content and introduced the famous baby 'Lee Jin-i' on social media through a recently saved photo. Through this, she shared her small tastes and interests with fans, building a sense of closeness. During the conversation, Liz accurately guessed her partner's age and occupation but showed a cute side by getting confused when given various hints.

After confirming that her conversation partner was actress Lee Joo-bin, Liz shyly ran behind the set and exclaimed in admiration. She mentioned that she enjoyed watching Lee Joo-bin's works and continued the conversation. After filming, Liz took a photo with Lee Joo-bin and expressed her feelings, saying, "It was fun to feel this kind of excitement after a long time, and I am so honored to meet the beautiful Joo-bin."

Meanwhile, IVE, which Liz belongs to, will release a pre-release track at 6 p.m. on February 9 and is preparing for their first comeback of the new year with a new album at the end of February. IVE plans to strengthen communication with fans through this comeback.
