The first girls group I'LL-IT under the HYBE label BELIFT LAB will debut on March 25th with full support from producer Bang Si-hyuk. Today (21st), BELIFT LAB revealed that "I'LL-IT will release their debut album, 1st mini album, on March 25th." With the participation of HYBE's Bang Si-hyuk, the global fans' expectations for the girls' first step are high. They expressed their thoughts on the debut, saying, "We are really happy and excited to be able to debut. We are grateful to the fans who have been waiting for us. We think we were able to grow even more while recording and shooting music videos. We were able to feel the debut in the process. We will show our growth under the name I'LL-IT, so please give us a lot of attention and love." I'LL-IT was formed as a five-member group through the survival program "R U Next?" on the Korean channel JTBC last year. The group name, which combines the independent and proactive will (I will) and the pronoun (It) meaning something special, embodies the potential to become anything and the expectations for it. After the end of "R U Next?" broadcast, they have been popular by releasing various independent contents through their official YouTube channel. The interest in I'LL-IT, the third girls group of HYBE labels following LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans, is exceptional. They have already shown a variety of genres of music through "R U Next?" and have been recognized for their vocal, rap, and dance skills. In addition, they have shown their unique expressive power and creativity on stage with various concepts, and at the same time as the group was formed, all members have even gained the modifier "a group that is a visual center." Furthermore, I'LL-IT, which has various noteworthy elements, was selected as one of the "11 K-POP rookies to watch in 2024" by the US Grammy.com, predicting that they will become an impressive girls group under the HYBE label, even though they have not yet released their music.
