On last year's MAMA, IVE's Leeseo faced criticism for her pronunciation of "DIVE" (IVE's fandom name) as netizens pointed out how unnatural it sounded and even got hated for fake crying.
Leeseo stood proud and turned the hate into something loveable with her recreation of "Diveu" on the recently held MMA 2023.
While it's unsure whether it's a coincidence or not, it's sure that fans loved it, making her trend in X (previously Twitter) and getting positive reactions from netizens.
LEESEO DIVEU ROUND TWO ???

At this point, it might now be an annual tradition to hear Leeseo say "Diveu."
Congratulations on your daesang IVE!
