ILLIT attracted the attention of global music fans with their new song stage that induces “super addictiveness.”

On October 24th, ILLIT performed the title song “Cherish (My Love)” and the song “IYKYK (If You Know You Know)” from their 2nd mini album “I’LL LIKE YOU” on Mnet’s “M COUNTDOWN”.

On this day, ILLIT appeared in casual outfits that made use of each individual’s individuality, expressing their unique free and lively charm. “Cherish (My Love),” which sticks in your ears once you listen to it, made the listeners “heart pound” with its melody and the members’ refreshing vocals.

In addition, the point dance aimed at the sensibilities of teenagers caught the attention of viewers even more. The “Magnetic Heart Dance,” which is a particular highlight, is a hand movement in which the thumbs and little fingers of both hands are joined to form the shape of a heart, and the uniqueness of this expression gives the impression that it is the birth of the next SNS trend.

On stage for “IYKYK (If You Know You Know),” ILLIT’s light steps and lively energy stood out. The performance, which depicts him walking straight towards the person he loves, is characterized by the quick movement with his hands that expresses the chorus “IYKYK.” The song quotes a newly coined word meaning “you know, right?” that has become a meme on social networking sites such as TikTok, and has gained deeper sympathy with people of the same generation.

The 2nd mini-album “I’LL LIKE YOU” sold over 330,000 copies (based on HANTEO charts) within two days of its release, giving the green light for ILLIT to achieve “half million seller” for the second time. The title song “Cherish (My Love)” is ranked high on major Korean music charts such as Bugs and Genie.
