ILLIT to launch official activities in Japan with debut single and major fan events
The group ILLIT is capturing attention with an otherworldly, fairy-tale-like allure as they prepare for their upcoming official debut in Japan. The five-member act adorned the cover of the September issue of fashion magazine Elle, evoking the image of protagonists straight out of a fantasy story.
Unveiled via Elle’s official social media channels on August 19, the cover shoot was created in collaboration with the high jewelry brand Damiani. Wearing dazzling jewelry, the members projected both elegance and innocence, visually encapsulating the dreams they are chasing.
The group impressed with their pure white outfits and long, flowing hairstyles, exuding a mysterious and lovable aura. In close-up solo shots, each member left a strong impression with their delicate features and deep, compelling gazes.
In an interview conducted alongside the photo shoot, ILLIT spoke about their third mini album ‘bomb’, released this June. “Its message is that anyone can become a magical girl the moment they recognize their own potential,” they noted, adding, “We’re delighted so many people found comfort and inspiration in our music.”
The group continued, “Our goal is to keep creating songs that fill listeners with positive energy. Each of us is moving toward even bigger dreams, and we’ll always strive to deliver a flawless performance on stage as a unified team.”
ILLIT is set to officially make their Japanese debut with their first single, ‘Toki Yo Tomare’, on September 1.
Kicking off their local activities, ILLIT will hold their fan concert ‘2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY IN JAPAN’ at Osaka-jo Hall on September 3 and 4, giving Japanese fans a chance to connect in person.
Later, on September 14, the group will appear at the prominent Japanese music festival, ‘Rock in Japan Festival 2025’, where they are expected to energize the stage and win over even more local fans.
