The group ILLIT celebrated their 2nd debut anniversary on March 25. Since their debut on March 25, 2024, ILLIT has captivated global fans by building the unique sensibility and aesthetics known as 'ILLIT Core.' They have consistently maintained a coherent identity across music, performance, and visuals while expanding their spectrum with new attempts in every album.

ILLIT's achievements are remarkable. From their debut work to last year's third mini-album 'bomb,' they entered the US Billboard main album chart, the 'Billboard 200,' with three consecutive albums. In particular, the single 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' reached 7th place on the 'Bubbling Under Hot 100' chart. These accomplishments have increased the possibility of ILLIT producing global hit songs.

ILLIT sold out all seats for eight shows at the fan concert '2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY' held last year in Korea and Japan. Their first tour, 'ILLIT LIVE PRESS START♥,' will take place in a total of 14 performances across seven cities domestically and internationally. ILLIT is scheduled to release their fourth mini-album 'MAMIHLAPINATAPAI' on April 30.

On the occasion of their 2nd debut anniversary, ILLIT members shared their thoughts and gratitude. Yoona said, "It feels new to realize that it has already been two years since our debut," adding, "I look forward to many more experiences together as ILLIT." Minju also expressed gratitude to fans, saying, "We have achieved so much so far." Moka added, "We ran hard without rest, and now it's already our 2nd anniversary."

After successfully completing the Seoul performance of their first tour 'PRESS START,' ILLIT members expressed their joy. Yoona said, "Since it was our first solo tour, there were some shortcomings, but it was rewarding to finish the performance we prepared hard for." Minju stated, "It was really fun to perform, so it remains memorable." Moka said, "The more we perform, the more we enjoy it, so it feels special."

ILLIT continues to broaden their spectrum with unique attempts in every album. Yoona said, "Every album was a new challenge and meaningful," especially noting that breaking the cute image frame in 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' was interesting. Minju emphasized, "Every song by ILLIT has a different vibe."

This year, ILLIT aims to communicate more with fans and challenge various genres. Yoona said, "Our goal this year is for many fans to love ILLIT's songs." Minju also said, "I want to visit fans in more countries."

Finally, ILLIT members expressed gratitude to each other. Yoona said, "Thank you for trusting and relying on each other even during difficult times." Minju added, "Let's continue to enjoy being together as five members." Iroha also said, "I'm very thankful to the members who always worked hard and ran together no matter what happened."

ILLIT vowed to continue making more memories with their fans. Yoona said, "We will keep doing our best to show good songs and performances." They are expected to showcase even more diverse charms through 'MAMIHLAPINATAPAI,' which will be released on April 30.
