ILLIT: Exclusive photos and selfies of Billboard's June 2024 K-Pop Rookies of the Month featuring YUNAH, MINJU, MOKA, WONHEE and IROHA.
While ILLIT’s road to debut wasn’t without some minor challenges (a last-minute lineup change saw the departure of Youngseo, originally slated to be the sixth member), the quintet dove into dance rehearsals, vocal training, language lessons and fitness routines, with Yunah mentioning that a pre-debut appearance at Paris Fashion Week in February for Acne Studios also required practice to ensure their chicest walks and poses.
