ILLIT Makes Official Debut With "Magnetic" M/V

HYBE's new girl group ILLIT made their official debut with "over-immersive" and "lively" as the team's identity.


On March 25th, ILLIT made their official debut with the release of their 1st mini album "SUPER REAL ME," along with the music video for the title track "Magnetic."

ILLIT is the first girl group from Belift Lab, home to global boy group ENHYPEN. Last year, ILLIT was formed through the survival show "R U NEXT," and garnered attention from local and international fans.

To commemorate their highly-awaited debut, ILLIT held a debut showcase at the Blue Square Master Card Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where they first greeted the public as an official Kpop girl group.



Regarding their debut, Minju said, "I've been grateful every day since I became an ILLIT member. I've been a trainee for a long time, and I'll do my best to show you all that."

Member Iroha also expressed, "I've been waiting for today and worked hard for it," adding, "I'm happy and excited to finally make my debut. I'll try to show you better performances in the future."

"I'm so grateful to be able to debut with the members," Wonhee said. "I'm here with excitement as it's my first time. I'll always show you my quirky side from now on."

"I waited for today with excitement as much as I prepared," Moka said. "I'm happy to be able to let you hear the five voices. I'll show you the positive power of ILLIT." Lastly, Yoona smiled broadly, saying, "I've loved dancing and singing since I was a child. I'm happy to be a member of ILLIT and be on stage."

Meanwhile, as soon as they made their official debut, four songs from their album entered the MelOn HOT 100 chart.

Their team name ILLIT was created by combining "I Will" and "It". It has melted the meaning of "a group that can be anything, and has great potential to be expected."

Regarding the team name, Yoona said, "There are many things I want to do and show," adding, "I think the team name, which means 'I can be anything,' suits us well."

Won-hee responded, "I think it's the right name for us," and said, "I like that the name of the team seems to tell us what kind of synergy it will create in the future."

In addition to the title track "Magnetic," ILLIT included four songs in the album: "My World," "Midnight Fiction," and "Lucky Girl Syndrome." Producer Bang Si-hyuk, the HYBE chairman, led the production of the album.

I-netizens showed their support to the girl group saying:
