She is also one of the group’s two Japanese members and competed on R U Next? before joining the final lineup.
Iroha is frequently associated with ILLIT’s performance-focused stages, but BELIFT LAB does not officially list her as a main dancer or rapper.
Which Song Marked ILLIT’s Debut?
ILLIT officially debuted on March 25, 2024, with the EP Super Real Me, according to BELIFT LAB’s official discography. The release was led by “Magnetic.”
Super Real Me contains four tracks:
“Magnetic” served as the lead single and became the best-known song from the release.
Teen Vogue reported that the song reached number two on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart shortly after the group’s debut.
How Was ILLIT Formed?
ILLIT did not form the usual way most K-pop groups do. The members earned their spots through a televised competition watched by millions.
- The show: ILLIT formed through R U Next?, a 2023 JTBC survival series produced with HYBE.
- The contestants: 22 trainees competed over ten episodes for a spot in the final lineup.
- The selection method: Public votes picked two members, and BELIFT LAB producers chose the other four.
- The label: BELIFT LAB, a HYBE sub-label, trained and managed the group going into their debut.
- The result: ILLIT debuted on March 25, 2024, with the mini album Super Real Me.
Did ILLIT Originally Have Six Members?
Source- Kprofiles
Yes. The final R U Next? lineup originally included Youngseo as its sixth member. BELIFT LAB announced in January 2024 that Youngseo had left the planned group by mutual agreement.
Youngseo left before ILLIT’s official debut on March 25, 2024.
She is therefore best described as a former pre-debut lineup member, not a former member who promoted or released music with ILLIT.
What Does the Name ILLIT Mean?
ILLIT combines the phrase “I will” with the pronoun “it.” According to BELIFT LAB, “I will” stands for an independent spirit. “It” stands for something unique.
Fans can fill in the blank between the two words.
Together, the name shows the members’ potential to take on new ideas and roles.
The current official spelling is ILLIT. The name was written as I’LL-IT before debut.
BELIFT LAB shortened the spelling closer to launch, making it easier to read and search. The meaning behind the name stayed.
ILLIT’s Fandom Name
ILLIT’s official fandom name is GLLIT, pronounced: “glit.”
The name comes from the word “glitter,” which fits the group’s bright, playful concept. It was chosen to reflect the bond between the members and their fans.
According to the official Weverse announcement, fans shine brightest in ILLIT’s eyes. Fans also help ILLIT shine in return. That two-way idea sits at the center of the name. Neither side outshines the other.
GLLIT refers to the group’s whole fanbase, not fans of just one member. This keeps the fandom united under a single name instead of splitting attention between members.
