Illit looks back on debut year
Members of Illit shared their feelings on their first debut anniversary through agency Belift Lab on Tuesday.
'It is 'only' one year thinking of our future that will flourish, but for some reason, I don't want to make light of it,' said Yunah. 'It feels really precious since we could be with Gllit,' the group's official fandom community.
In one single year, the five members have achieved a lot: Their debut single made Billboard's Hot 100 and UK's Official Singles Top 100 in record time and they picked up 13 trophies, including seven rookie awards, at home and abroad.
But many members picked their showcase as the most memorable moment.
'It was so blissful when Gllit shouted our names and chanted for us in one single voice,' recalled Minju.
Their goal for the second year?
'I would love to love to see a dome concert venue filled with lightsticks,' confided Iroha.

BTS' Jimin, Jungkook set to finish military service
Jimin and Jungkook, members of K-pop megagroup BTS, will be discharged from the South Korean military on Wednesday after completing their 18-month mandatory service, as fans eagerly await their return. The two stars enlisted together as active-duty soldiers in December 2023 and have been serving in the Army's 5th Infantry Division Artillery Brigade. Their discharge follows that of Jin and J-Hope, who completed their service in June and October of last year, respectively, and RM and V, who were discharged Tuesday. The K-pop septet is anticipated to return as a full group after Suga, who is serving as a social service agent due to health issues, completes his duty on June 21. Jimin and Jungkook, both vocalists of the band, have also actively pursued solo projects, each topping the US Billboard's main singles chart, Hot 100, with their singles "Like Crazy" and "Seven." In January, Jimin expressed his strong desire to return to the stage in a post on Hybe's K-pop fan community platform Weverse. "After the new year, the conversations Jungkook and I have before going to sleep have changed a lot," Jimin wrote. "Because the day when we'll reunite with ARMY is getting closer and closer, we're having many conversations about what we need to prepare before we meet them again, what we'll show and what kind of lives we'll lead in the future."
