ILLIT talks first comeback with 'I'LL LIKE YOU': "This album features charms that are uniquely ILLIT"

AKP STAFF

Ahead of the release of ILLIT's second mini-album, 'I'LL LIKE YOU,' the members held a media showcase to commemorate their first comeback.

Seven months after making their explosive debut with 'SUPER REAL ME' featuring the successful title track "Magnetic," YUNAH, MINJU, MOKA, WONHEE, and IROHA are now back to show a new set of charms with 'I'LL LIKE YOU.' The album tells the story of the 'self' that becomes deeply immersed in their encounter with 'you' they wish to get closer to.

"We were very fortunate to meet many of our good fans while performing in various regions like Japan, France, and Germany. Most recently, we attended the Fashion Week and 'Friends Night' in Paris, which are things I won't forget," said WONHEE about how they spent the past months.

MOKA added, "After our debut, what stuck with me the most was performing on various stages, including music shows. I won't forget our first performance at a university festival as well as performing at an award show was also such a precious experience."

"'I'LL LIKE YOU' illustrates the story of the relationship between you and someone you like. At times when we had our own concerns, we, at the end of the day, followed our heart," MINJU explained. "And we tried to portray that through the song. This album features charms that are uniquely ILLIT, so you'll probably find a different set of charms from our album."

MOKA also shared that she put her all into everything, it was "almost as if I was doing it all over again." "I always try to give my best with the same dedication as when I first started. We would appreciate your attention and support for our new song, 'Cherish (My Love),'" she said.

While YUNAH felt worried about the title track the moment she first heard it as it was something that they'd never done before, she and the members were able to feel a stronger sense of it being a uniquely ILLIT song after repeatedly practicing and listening to it. She added, "Having successfully showcased our first performance in front of press members, I feel confident about the upcoming promotion."

"Each song on this album has a different vibe, so we thought a lot about how to express each song. I'm really excited to be able to show you them," IROHA expressed.

Five tracks comprise 'I’LL LIKE YOU':I’ll Like You,” the medium pop opening track that shares its name with the album, sets the enigmatic yet charming undertone for the rest of the tracklist; the lead single “Cherish (My Love)," the 2-step garage track “IYKYK (If You Know You Know),” the dreamy “Pimple,” and the dynamic pop track “Tick-Tack.”
