The group ILLIT won its first music show trophy since its comeback.
ILLIT (Yoonah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) took first place with the lead single from their first single album, "NOT CUTE ANYMORE," on KBS2 MUSIC BANK broadcast on the 5th.
ILLIT said, "It's all thanks to GLLIT (Gllit, the fandom name) who always supports us. We are also very grateful to the company officials and staff who helped with this single," adding, "ILLIT will work even harder from now on."
That day ILLIT delivered a performance with a strange addictiveness that made it impossible to look away. The chic atmosphere was maximized in the killing part where they nodded to the beat and then displayed a reversal of facial expressions. In addition, stylish winter fashion with accents like fur hats and boots added to the fun of watching.
Even on the encore stage they performed "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" live, once again showing off their attractive vocal colors. Fans sang along energetically and shared their joy with them.
"NOT CUTE ANYMORE" is making its presence felt on music charts. In particular, after ILLIT's music show comeback stage was released, it has been spreading by word of mouth among global music fans.
The song hit No. 1 on Spotify's "Top Song Debut" in the U.S. and No. 2 globally (based on Nov. 28-30 tracking), and reached No. 1 on Billboard Japan's rising chart "Hot Shot Songs" (Nov. 30). On Apple Music Korea's "Top 100 of the day," it entered at No. 47 and climbed to No. 13 (Nov. 25), No. 6 (Nov. 29) and No. 3 (Dec. 4), showing upward momentum.
Foreign media praise has continued. Cosmopolitan Indonesia said, "'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' is a song that contains ILLIT's unique charm. The performance, completed by the five members dramatically changing their facial expressions to match the lyrics, is thrilling to watch throughout."
Meanwhile, ILLIT will appear on MBC Show! Music Core on the 6th and SBS Inkigayo on the 7th.
