With unique lyrics like '꿍실냐옹 (Kungsilnyang)' and '둠칫냐옹 (Dumchitnyang)', and choreography that is delicate yet sharp like a cat's movements, it has become popular among teenagers and those in their twenties. Released last June, the song has established itself on global music charts and continues to enjoy long-lasting popularity. It has also received high praise from overseas media. The American outlet 'PopMatters' selected it as one of the '15 Best K-POP Songs of 2025', praising it as a song that maintains ILLIT's bright and lively image while paving the way for new musical attempts.

Other songs like 'Lucky Girl Syndrome', 'Cherish (My Love)', and 'Tick-Tack' have also recorded over 100 million streams each. The Japanese 2nd digital single 'Sunday Morning', released yesterday on the 13th, is also attracting attention. This song depicts the 'great power of a heart in love' that cannot be stopped, and serves as the opening theme for the TV anime 'Hime-sama “Goumon” no Jikan desu' Season 2, which started airing on the 12th. It has received positive reviews such as 'ILLIT's clear singing voice suits it well, it's a pleasant song' and 'ILLIT's original Japanese songs are the best', in addition to reaching number one on the AWA Music Real-Time Rising Chart, proving its hot popularity.
