While preparing the album, we also want to express our gratitude to Moka, who was a great help to us.” They added, “Above all, we think we were able to win this precious No. 1 thanks to GLLIT (ILLIT’s fans). We will continue to work hard to ‘arrest’ GLLIT’s hearts.” On this day’s stage, the members livened things up with relaxed live vocals and energetic group choreography. In particular, the distinctive styling in which they transformed into various whistle-related characters such as lifeguards, cheerleaders, and sports referees doubled the fun of watching.
