The global K-pop group ILLIT (YoonA, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) is stealing hearts with their unpredictable and endless charm. On October 22, Vogue Korea dropped the digital cover and photos for its November issue, featuring the girls of ILLIT.

The photoshoot, taken in Paris during Fashion Week, captures ILLIT’s transformation into ‘mischievous princesses’ with stunning backdrops. Some of the photos show the members striking bold poses with fierce gazes, while others highlight their free-spirited and elegant side, set against a vintage background.

The unit shots, where the group was split into two teams, left a strong impression as well. YoonA, Minju, and Iroha gave off a dreamy yet chic vibe, while Moka and Wonhee showed off their cute and lovely chemistry.

In addition to the photoshoot, ILLIT teamed up with Vogue Korea and Apple Music for a special project. They launched the ‘Vogue X ILLIT Music Project’ playlist on October 19, where each member personally chose songs they cherish. The playlist also features the photos from their Vogue shoot as the cover image.

Meanwhile, ILLIT made their highly anticipated comeback on October 21 with their second mini-album, I’LL LIKE YOU. The music video for their title track Cherish (My Love) hit over 10 million views in just 16 hours, breaking their previous record.

The album sold around 300,000 copies on the first day and all the tracks landed on Melon’s ‘Hot 100,’ showing ILLIT’s growing power in both album sales and streaming charts.
