Recently, Kpop girl group ILLIT attended Paris Fashion Week, in the show of the brand Acne Studios.
ILLIT attracted attention when they appeared at Acne Studios' show at Paris Fashion Week in March, when the group was just introduced and had not yet officially debuted.
After that, all 5 members of ILLIT (Wonhee, Iroha, Yunah, Minju, Moka) were chosen as promotional models for the Acne Studios Spring Summer 2024 collection to the surprise of the public.
The fact that a pre-debut group has become a model for a famous fashion brand has caused controversy.
This is the second time ILLIT has attended Paris Fashion Week, the demeanor of the female idols is quite professional in front of the international media. However, their costumes and appearance have received many mixed reactions.
Many people think that ILLIT lacks star quality and fashion sense. On the other hand, inappropriate outfit combinations also make some members bland and unimpressive. The member who received the best feedback is Moka.
Some comments even said that the group's appearance this time was worse than the first time they attended Paris Fashion Week.
However, the group's fans counter that ILLIT has been suffering unfair criticism since their debut.
Recently, HYBE announced that ILLIT will return with their second mini album, “I'll Like You,” on October 21. Notably, ILLIT's return to the music scene coincides with SM Entertainment's aespa group.
There have been sensitive stories between the group aespa and HYBE Group's President Bang Si Hyuk. In a message revealed by former CEO Min Hee Jin, Bang Si Hyuk asked her if he could "trample on aespa".
So when ILLIT announced their comeback date to coincide with aespa, the audience echoed President Bang's message and expressed excitement about this confrontation.
