On March 25, HYBE officially introduced the third girl 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. However, Youngseo - the trainee with the most fans - withdrew at the last minute. The group "closed the book" with 5 very young girls, including Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha.
