IVE recently returned with “HEYA,” the title track from their new mini-album IVE-SWITCH.
With most K-Pop releases, fans often will do research into the people behind the music, finding out information and previous work done by composers, lyricists, editors, and producers.
So, when a recent tweet claimed to have two photos of one of IVE‘s producers, many did not bat an eye but instead immediately demanded a name.

It is not uncommon for those surrounding stars to also gain attention, especially when they are good-looking. For example, during ATEEZ‘s recent trip to America, KQ Entertainment‘s CEO went viral as fans thirsted over him.

However, this was not the case in this circumstance!
The photos are actually of a Chinese model named Jaden, who seems to be primarily active on Instagram. His most recent post from March actually include the two photos used by the fan.
Jaden has modeled for brands like The North Face and GAP, and certainly is very handsome.
He also seems to be a fitness model as well, posting photos more in line with that kind of modeling.

And while he did seem to take a trip to Korea in late 2023, posing with a huge billboard of BLACKPINK‘s Jennie…
…he is not a producer for IVE.
Regardless, give IVE’s “HEYA” a stream and follow Jaden!
