ILLIT revealed their feelings about their first comeback and the discussions surrounding the group. Today (21st), ILLIT held a showcase to commemorate the release of their 2nd mini-album 'I'LL LIKE YOU' at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul. Yuna said, 'Since this is our first comeback after debuting, I feel as nervous and excited as I did during our debut showcase. I hope you will watch over us with much interest and love starting today.' Mocha expressed, 'I am truly grateful for all the support for our first comeback. We made this album to show more of ILLIT's unique charm, and I hope our efforts to show our growth compared to the last album are conveyed.' Wonhee mentioned, 'Since this is our first comeback, I am even more nervous and excited than during our debut. This album is filled with wonderful songs, so I ask for your interest and support.' Iroha shared, 'I am very happy to greet you with our new album. Each song in this album has a different atmosphere, so I struggled with how to express each one. I am excited to share new songs with you.' Minju stated, 'We prepared a lot, and I want to show everything from our 2nd mini-album quickly. I believe we can show a different charm, as our singing and performances are as wonderful as during our debut album. I hope you look forward to it. I am grateful.' Additionally, ILLIT suffered mental damage during their hiatus due to internal conflicts at HYBE, the parent company of their agency BELIFT LAB. Previously, Min Heejin, the former representative of ADOR under HYBE, claimed in April, 'ILLIT is copying NewJeans in all areas of entertainment activities, including hair, makeup, costumes, choreography, photos, videos, and event appearances.' BELIFT LAB has continued to refute Min Heejin's claims, stating they are unfounded and that ILLIT did not plagiarize NewJeans' project proposals. In response to related questions, Yuna said, 'We prepared this 2nd mini-album diligently to show a good image, thinking of the fans who continue to support ILLIT no matter the situation. During the preparation of the album, we also celebrated our 1st anniversary. I was reminded of those who quietly helped us grow as ILLIT over the past year and the fans who supported us.' She added, 'To protect the hearts of those who love ILLIT, we decided to focus on showing our unique color. As we mentioned in the brand film, we prepared for our comeback with the mindset of walking our own path.' Furthermore, regarding discussions about live performances, Iroha conveyed their determination, saying, 'We listened to many opinions and prepared meticulously down to the details. We will work hard to grow even more.' The title track of the new album 'I'LL LIKE YOU,' 'Cherish (My Love),' is a dance-pop genre song that encapsulates their candid and bold charm. Through this new song, ILLIT sings, 'I care about your feelings, but my feelings for you are more important.' The members infused the song with the feelings of teenagers satisfied with their own affection for someone.
