Visual content with a unique girl-like atmosphere of ILLIT has been additionally released. Through BELIFT LAB's official SNS, concept photos and films for the 'TO' version of the 2nd mini-album 'I'LL LIKE YOU', which will be released on the 21st, were unveiled. The 'TO' version contains pure feelings of 'wanting to meet a beloved person even in dreams.' ILLIT expressed a lovely life-sized girl figure in the photos. The five members, each in their own uniform styles wearing cardigans and zip-up hoodies, overflowed with their lovely charm, captivating people. Additionally, heart-shaped balloons floated in the sky visible from the subway window, creating a fantasy atmosphere far removed from reality. Scenes of them snuggling up to sleep or standing by the window to gaze at the fancy sky convey a soft air. The concept film released simultaneously highlights their lively charm. When Iroha dozes off on the subway, she gets sucked into a mysterious box and meets ILLIT members there, sharing their school commutes. They express the relationships of girls their age by listening to music, taking photos at a self-photo booth, and playing together. The overall fantastical imagery that travels between reality and dreams has garnered strong support from global fans. Unlike the playful 'WITH' version released earlier, the atmosphere is different, and expectations for the new album are rising with each day's content release. ILLIT's debut song 'Magnetic' has continued to boom for over six months. According to the latest chart announced by Billboard on the 1st (as of October 5), ILLIT's title track 'Magnetic' from their 1st mini-album 'SUPER REAL ME' ranked 88th in 'Global (excluding the US)' and 166th in 'Global 200.' This song has charted for 27 consecutive weeks since its debut on the two charts on April 6, proving ILLIT's incredible source power.
