[TV Daily, Han Seo-yul] The group ILLIT brought humor to the fans by hosting a unique party against Wonhee's declaration of adulthood as he turned 20 this year.
On March 16, ILLIT released a new episode titled 'Wonhee's 20th Birthday Rejection Party' of their series 'SUPER ILLIT' on their official YouTube channel. The production team organized a party to celebrate Wonhee’s coming of age, but the members, wishing to preserve his youthful image, playfully rejected the idea of him becoming an adult.
During the celebration, Wonhee engaged in banter with fellow member Iroha, the only teen in the group, adding a light-hearted energy to the atmosphere. The members expressed their affection by drafting a playful contract, including terms like 'Maintain chubby cheeks' indicating their desire for him to remain the beloved 'maknae' of ILLIT.
Unexpectedly, a game disrupted the festive mood, adding a twist to the proceedings. Dressed in a shirt that read 'Protect Wonhee's chubby cheeks,' the production team began to swipe the candles, causing a comical chase as the members scrambled to retrieve them. Eventually, ILLIT managed to light the candles for Wonhee's birthday cake, culminating in a joyous celebration. 'SUPER ILLIT' showcases ILLIT’s endeavors and aspirations, appealing significantly to the younger generation. With this episode, Season 3 is set to take a brief hiatus, while ILLIT plans to make a comeback with their new album 'MAMIHLAPINATAPAI' and title track 'It’s Me' on April 30.
The recent episode by ILLIT humorously approached Wonhee's adult declaration, enhancing their interaction with fans. This highlights the bond among the members and reinforces the notion that they are relatable idols rather than just entertainers.
The affection for the 'maknae' role and the desire to preserve it showcase the group's dynamic. Fans appreciate ILLIT's ability to represent youthful emotions while hoping they remain genuine throughout their growth.
This type of content creation is seen as a strategy for ILLIT to strengthen their presence while appealing to younger audiences. The diverse talents and personalities showcased in 'SUPER ILLIT' resonate significantly with peers in the same generation, building a deeper connection.
