The group Billlie finished as runner-up in the women's ssireum event at 'Idol Star Athletics Championships' (ISAC).
Billlie (Siyoon, Sean, Tsuki, Moon Sua, Haram, Suhyun, Haruna) competed in MBC's holiday variety show 2025 Chuseok special Idol Star Championships (hereinafter "ISAC"), and showed fierce determination to capture the runner-up spot in the women's team ssireum competition.
That day Tsuki, Moon Sua and Suhyun recorded 2-0 from the preliminaries and achieved a 'one-shot one-kill' victory, quickly emerging as strong contenders for the title. Tsuki, who overwhelmed opponents with a powerful presence as soon as she appeared, launched fast attacks based on formidable lower-body strength, as MC Jun Hyun-moo noted that she once beat skeleton gold medalist Yun Sung-bin in a squat contest, and Suhyun followed with seasoned outer-thigh techniques to topple opponents and continue a streak of decisive victories.
In particular, Tsuki drew admiration from commentators and MCs with a strong competitive spirit hidden behind her trademark bright smile throughout the match. Jun Hyun-moo praised her, saying, "Among the girl group members I know, she has the strongest competitive spirit," and commentator Lee Tae-hyun also described it as "an amazing strength coming from a small frame."
In the subsequent final the three members narrowly lost, but they produced a memorable match with tenacious fighting spirit and left a strong impression. Also that day Tsuki made a surprise appearance as a dance-sports presenter, delighting the audience as the person who won gold last year with samba and cha-cha-cha performances. Viewers who saw this praised Billlie, saying, "Suhyun's ssireum technique was perfect," "Tsuki is powerful even from her ready stance," and "The teamwork of encouraging each other was so heartwarming."
Billlie recently appeared on Apple TV+'s global music competition series KPOPPED, receiving praise from global music fans for collaborative performances that crossed generations and genres with legendary artists such as Megan Thee Stallion and Patti LaBelle. Attention is focused on Billlie's continued activities as a "conceptual K-pop icon."
