Seoul, Korea – Rising K-pop group Illit is set to make a highly anticipated comeback with their second EP, titled "I Will Like You," on October 21, according to a Monday announcement from Belift Lab. The new release comes approximately seven months after their explosive debut, during which the group shattered multiple records and gained global attention.
The forthcoming mini-album will build on the themes introduced in their debut EP, "Super Real Me," delving deeper into the concept of self-exploration and the pursuit of connection. In this album, Illit’s narrative follows the voice of “me,” a character who embraces the present and fearlessly navigates life's challenges, all while striving to get closer to “you.” The thematic progression promises to resonate with fans as it continues the group’s signature focus on authenticity and emotional depth.
Illit’s rapid rise in the music industry has been nothing short of remarkable. Their debut single, "Magnetic," made history as the group became the first K-pop act to enter both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts with a debut album and debut single, ranking No. 93 and No. 91 respectively. Furthermore, "Magnetic" also broke new ground by entering the UK Official Singles Top 100 at No. 80, a first for any K-pop musician.
With their upcoming release, Illit seeks to maintain their momentum and further cement their position as a key player in the K-pop industry. The group’s fresh approach to music and storytelling has been credited for their fast-growing fanbase, both in South Korea and internationally. Music critics have praised their ability to combine cutting-edge production with relatable and emotionally charged lyrics.
In addition to the EP release, Illit will host a showcase in Seoul on October 22, where fans will have the chance to meet the group and experience their new music firsthand. The event is expected to draw a large crowd, as anticipation for the new album has been building since the group's debut earlier this year.
Belift Lab expressed their excitement about the comeback, highlighting the extensive preparation the group has undergone to deliver a new project that both meets and exceeds fan expectations. The agency also hinted at the possibility of future collaborations and special projects, keeping the group's growing audience engaged.
As Illit gears up for their sophomore release, all eyes are on how the group will continue to shape the future of K-pop. Fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see if Illit can replicate the record-breaking success of their debut and push the boundaries of the genre even further.
