The group ILLIT will release 'Almond Chocolate (Korean Ver.)' today at 6 p.m. This song is the Korean version of the original Japanese track released on Valentine's Day in February, and it serves as a special gift for fans.
ILLIT expressed through their agency, Belift Lab, "'Almond Chocolate' is a song we really like and cherish, and we are happy to be able to present it in its Korean version." They added, "I hope the feelings we want to convey to GLLIT (the fandom name) come across well."
'Almond Chocolate (Korean Ver.)' is a confession song full of ILLIT's lovely charm. Their vocal abilities are highlighted as they delicately express sweet and bittersweet emotions through a bright and cheerful melody. In particular, a segment where Wonhee hits a solid three-octave note with a clear tone has garnered attention.
ILLIT shared behind-the-scenes details of the recording, saying, "We tried to convey the feeling of excitement and overwhelming emotion during the recording. We also paid attention to ensure that emotions and flow did not feel awkward when listening to the Korean version after the original track."
They pointed out the sweet and cute lyrics of 'Almond Chocolate (Korean Ver.)' as a highlight, mentioning, "If you're in a situation where you like someone, you'll definitely relate to it." They also added, "Please look forward to the finger choreography that expresses 'Almond Chocolate' hidden throughout the performance."
'Almond Chocolate' is the theme song for the movie 'I Don't Just Like You For Your Face,' which premiered on the 7th, and it gained much love after the original Japanese version was released first. The song ranked high on the Oricon 'Daily Digital Single Ranking' at the time and reached No. 1 on the AWA Music real-time rising chart and the Spotify Japan daily rising chart, receiving a positive response on local charts.
