Group ILLIT swept three awards at major domestic music ceremonies.
ILLIT (Yoon-a, Minju, Moka, Won-hee, Iroha) at the 2026 K World Dream Awards held on the 27th at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, won the main award, the K World Dream Artist Award, as well as the K World Dream Best Stage Award and the K World Dream Group Popularity Award, sweeping the ceremony and earning the honor of a triple crown.
In particular, by capturing the popularity award decided 100% by fan votes, they proved the explosive love of global fans and their solid firepower.
Immediately after receiving the awards, ILLIT said, "We are truly honored to receive three valuable awards. We thank Glit (the fandom name) for supporting us unwaveringly since our debut," and added with emotion, "We will continue to grow and show even more impressive performances."
On the stage that day, ILLIT performed their chart-topping hit "It's Me," heating up the venue. With lovely styling, precise synchronized choreography and powerful energy, they completed a perfect performance, drawing explosive cheers from the audience.
ILLIT has continued to write an unending saga of success, from the comeback hit "NOT CUTE ANYMORE," which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 in the first half of this year, to mini album 4 "Mamilapinatafai," which reached No. 26 on the Billboard 200, and the collaboration "ICONIC BY MISTAKE," which reached No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 22 on the U.K. Official Singles Top 100. The title track "It's Me" has also remained in the top ranks of major charts for more than four months.
Meanwhile, having recently successfully completed their first tour, ILLIT will continue the global momentum with an encore tour, ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥' ENCORE, starting at Inspire Arena in Incheon on Oct. 17–18 and continuing to LaLa Arena Tokyo Bay in Chiba, Japan, in December.<
