On March 25, HYBE officially introduced the third gir.l group project selected and debuted by the group - ILLIT, managed by its subsidiary BELIFT LAB. ILLIT is a lineup of potential trainees coming out of the survival show RU Next, initially expected to debut with 6 members.

ILLIT debuted with the EP Super Real Me and the theme MV Magnetic . With characteristics of ag.e, number of members and a fresh, lovely concept, ILLIT initially made people think of their seniors from the NewJeans group.

However, the group also faced many mixed opinions because their achievements were inversely proportional to their skills. With a solid launch pad from HYBE, good music, fresh visuals and stormy choreography, ILLIT seems to have everything to become famous. The group only has one flaw - their voice.
