On this day, ILLIT appeared with a lonely yet mysterious 'ghost bride' concept styling, catching the eye. The explosive energy of the members was felt in their sharp dance break, enhancing immersion from the start. ILLIT then arranged 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' in a carol style, maximizing the original soft winter atmosphere. During the 'jellyous' stage, ILLIT's lively charm was impressive. The five members perfectly synchronized their steps to the fast tempo, delivering pleasure to the audience. ILLIT's funky performance, matched with bright and cheerful sounds, raised the excitement in the audience. Additionally, Wonhee formed a special unit 'Nunsaramz' with BOYNEXTDOOR's Eunhak, drawing attention. They reinterpreted IU's 'Merry Christmas ahead (Feat. Chondung of MBLAQ).' Wonhee showcased a clear singing voice and cute performance, creating a warm holiday sentiment and received positive feedback. Immediately after the broadcast, keywords referring to the two, such as 'Nunsaramz,' 'Eunhak Wonhee,' and 'Merry Donglemas,' appeared in real-time trends on X (formerly Twitter), proving fans' high interest. ILLIT will continue to celebrate the year-end with fans worldwide, traveling between Korea and Japan. They will perform special stages on the 29th at Nippon TV's 'Announcement!
