ILLIT Holds First Tour 'PRESS START♥'... Kicking Off in Seoul in March

The group ILLIT is embarking on their first tour after debut, starting a global journey.

◆ First Solo Tour Connecting 7 Cities According to their agency Belift Lab on the 22nd, ILLIT (Yoona, Minju, Mocha, Wonhee, Iroha) will hold 〈ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥' in SEOUL〉 (hereafter 〈PRESS START〉) at the Ticketlink Live Arena (formerly Handball Stadium) in Seoul on March 14-15. Starting with the Seoul performance, they will tour 5 cities in Japan, including Aichi on June 13-14, Osaka on June 20-21, Fukuoka on June 29-30, Hyogo on July 18-19, and Tokyo on July 23 and 25-26, before concluding the grand journey in Hong Kong on August 22.

◆ A New Journey to Resonate with 'Heartbeat' The concert title 〈PRESS START♥〉 signifies the beginning of the journey that ILLIT will unfold. The 'heart (♥)' in the title symbolizes the first signal of the system being activated and represents a heartbeat, embodying the aspiration to convey a thrilling resonance to their fandom 'GLLIT'. The poster released on Weverse captures the excitement and curiosity in the members' eyes as they press the 'START' button, heightening anticipation.

◆ Chart Reversal → Leap to Performance-Based Idols ILLIT has already proven their strong ticket power by selling out all seats for their fan concert 〈GLITTER DAY〉 in Seoul and Japan last year. The recent atmosphere is also positive. The title track of their first single 〈NOT CUTE ANYMORE〉 has recorded a 'reversal' by climbing to 14th place on the Melon daily chart (as of January 17) even two months after its release. Additionally, even after the end of their activities, they achieved the remarkable feat of ranking first on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' on the 17th, riding a wave of momentum, which is expected to further increase interest in this first tour.
