IVE has topped the Favorite Weekly Chart for the fourth week of May. Favorite is a K-pop fan poll co-developed by the digital streaming service Bugs and the JoongAng Ilbo, an affiliate of the Korea JoongAng Daily.

The weekly chart rankings are determined by a combination of fan votes and an artist's streaming numbers on Bugs. IVE received a score of 39.3 percent, accounting for 1,558,233 votes and 6.9 percent of Bugs' streaming data.

Trot singer Lim Young-woong placed second with a score of 33.5 percent, accounting for 1,531,656 votes and 1.7 percent of the Bugs streaming score. Boy band ZeroBaseOne ranked third with a score of 11.4 percent.

As a result of their top ranking, IVE will be awarded a celebratory in-app banner on the Bugs phone app from Friday to Sunday. Lim Young-woong's celebratory banner will be featured in the chart categories of the app.
