Korean online users have recently focused their attention on the young members’ feelings regarding their involvement in the most recent HYBE scandal and their labeling as a “copycat group.”
This conversation started when a user asked whether other members of ILLIT were aware of the situation in a post on the well-known online community Nate Pann. A netizen said, “What do you mean ILLIT members don’t know anything? lol “and went on to quote the most recent interview with an ILLIT member.
During an interview on the ‘Cult Two’ show, the members opened up about their recent triumph with ‘Magnetic,’ and Yunah expressed her heartfelt appreciation, saying, “I want to express my gratitude to the company staff. To all the members of our team at Belift Lab, we all know how much effort went into our debut album. We’re really proud. Even if we don’t express our gratitude often, I think you all know our hearts.”
The netizen stated that ILLIT shared this after Min Hee Jin’s comments on April 24. They alleged that ILLIT members were aware of the situation between ADOR and were being labeled copycats.
More people from Korea shared their thoughts and commented:
“I mean they should express their gratitude. What else would they say?”
“It’s true that they did copy but I think this was a statement with affection for the team. But to the ILLIT members, you need to compare yourselves and see for yourself. When your contracts end, you guys should find your own paths and leave.”
“They’re underaged and rookies. What do they know?”
“They might not know anything, but not knowing is still a problem. In a way, presenting a project to the public as a representative means you should know certain things, right? Even if idols don’t need to know everything, if they just dance and sing without knowing where their choreography came from, or what motivated the concept they’re presenting, then what’s the difference between them and dolls? So, unless they’re going to explain everything from A to Z like Min Hee Jin does, they should raise the debut age range, seriously…”
