Minju, who loves horror movies, shows a hint of madness, while Iroha demonstrates inner strength through martial arts. Mocha confesses her envy of cats living at their own pace, bringing smiles to viewers. Each member expresses their thoughts candidly and amusingly. ILLIT also demonstrated a strong bond among themselves, expressing heartfelt sentiments like 'ILLIT is a second family' and 'ILLIT is like honey, never leaving each other.' Their sincere stories and sensory visual beauty received a warm response from fans upon release. On October 7, the track list and track video will be available, and on the 13th, a highlight medley will provide a glimpse of the album's overall atmosphere. Following that, teaser videos for the title track's music video will be released on the 18th and 20th, raising fans' expectations. ILLIT's 2nd mini album 'I'LLL LIKE YOU' and the title track's music video will be released simultaneously worldwide on November 21 at 6 PM. This album, currently available for pre-order, will be released in a regular edition and a GLLIT edition, with the retro camera-shaped GLLIT edition's outer box attracting attention. It includes various items packed with ILLIT's unique cute and charming appeal, such as keychains, photo sets, lyric cards, photo cards, stickers, and CDs, stimulating collectors' desires. 'I'LL LIKE YOU' is ILLIT's new album, released about seven months after their 1st mini album 'SUPER REAL ME', depicting the second story of 'me' that draws you in at the moment.
