ILLIT, the latest girl group from HYBE, marked their successful debut on March 25 with their first EP, SUPER REAL ME. This mini-album features a total of four tracks, including the lead Magnetic, Lucky Girl Syndrome, Midnight Fiction, and My World.
Notably, all five members of ILLIT participated in JTBC and HYBE’s collaborative music survival show, R U NEXT? After a neck-to-neck competition, Wonhee, Yunah, Minju, Iroha, and Moka were selected to debut with ILLIT.
In the short span of their music career till date, the group has been the subject of many controversies. Most recently, ILLIT was caught in the HYBE-ADOR feud, when Min Hee Jin (ADOR’s CEO) ‘called them out’ as NewJeans’ copycat. They also faced some backlash from netizens for their seemingly weak vocals during the debut encore stage.
However, despite the mixed reactions, ILLIT seemed to be marching towards a bright future, with high expectations from their upcoming music releases.
