Content that allows a glimpse into ILLIT's new album concept has been unveiled. On September 30, ILLIT released the concept photos and film for their 2nd mini-album 'I'LL LIKE YOU' through their official SNS. The 'WITH' version expresses the heart of a girl who thinks anywhere is fine as long as she is with you. ILLIT's pure visuals attract attention. They matched forest girl sensibility dresses with kitschy items, adding a free-spirited charm. In solo cuts, each member showcases their innocent gazes and poses in their own adorably decorated secret hideouts. The concept film released alongside the photos contains a witty story. It depicts a situation where the four members bring tools to save Wonhee, who is scared of a bee, but everyone runs away, leaving Wonhee behind. While pretending to be strong, ILLIT's cute and lovable charm stands out. 'I'LL LIKE YOU' is an album that captures the charm of a girl who struggles after meeting 'you', whom she wants to get close to, but runs straightforwardly in search of her own answer, set to be released on October 21.
