Five-member BELIFT LAB girl group whose debut hit “Magnetic” turned a dreamy, playful identity into a global chart breakthrough, followed by an expanding album and live-tour catalog.
Profile
ILLIT debuted under BELIFT LAB on March 25, 2024 with YUNAH, MINJU, MOKA, WONHEE and IROHA. The group was formed through the survival program R U Next? and debuted with the mini album SUPER REAL ME.
“Magnetic” became the group’s breakout song, introducing ILLIT’s light, digital-age pop identity to a global audience. The group followed with I’LL LIKE YOU, bomb, the single album NOT CUTE ANYMORE and the 2026 fourth mini album MAMIHLAPINATAPAI.
On April 30, 2026, MAMIHLAPINATAPAI arrived with the title track “It’s Me.” The album extended ILLIT’s Billboard presence, while the group launched its first solo-tour cycle, PRESS START♥, including sold-out Japanese dates.
ILLIT followed in July with the Japan second single “I Got Your Back,” featuring JISOO and MOMOKA of HANA. On September 21, the group released the Japan digital single “Swingin’ Magic.” BELIFT LAB has also announced the fifth mini album BREAK EVEN for October 26, 2026. Because that date is still upcoming, it is listed here as scheduled rather than released.
