"HYBE's youngest daughter" ILLIT revealed her impressions of her debut. The fashion magazine "ELLE" released a gravure and interview with ILLIT today (26th). ILLIT debuted on the 25th with her 1st mini album "SUPER REAL ME". In the gravure, she showed an unadorned, natural appearance and warmed the atmosphere on set. Through a personal interview, Yuna revealed her thoughts on her upcoming debut, saying, "Recently, when I visited Paris Fashion Week, I realized for the first time that we are known to the world when more fans than I thought called out 'ILLIT!'." Minju expressed, "After my debut, I'm most looking forward to meeting fans. I want to ask them trivial things and always tell them that I love them too. And I hope all 5 members can enjoy music happily as we do now." Moka talked about the moment that encouraged her the most while preparing for the debut album, saying, "It was when we practiced together and felt that our breaths matched well. At that moment, I gained confidence." Wonhee expressed her affection, saying, "Although each member has different personalities and preferences, when we are together, we become colorful and beautiful like a palette." Iroha expressed her desire to make people feel that enjoying music is the most fun thing, and said, "When you want to raise your spirits, I want you to listen to 'Lucky Girl Syndrome', and when you come home from work in the early morning, I want you to listen to 'Midnight Fiction'." ILLIT is a five-member girl group born through the survival program "R U Next?" broadcast in Korea last year, and is composed of members with visual, vocal, performance skills, and genre expression.
