Koreaboo
Recently, the upcoming BELIFT LAB (under HYBE) girl group ILLIT traveled to Paris to make their Paris Fashion Week debut before even making their K-Pop debut.
On February 28, ILLIT attended the show for Swedish brand Acne Studios. As soon as they stepped out of the car, they were met with cheers. In fact, some people in the crowd were heard yelling for the individual members, showcasing their already unexpected influence.
Walking to the media wall, ILLIT showed not-so-rookie abilities when they quickly adapted to their surroundings and the instructions from the photographer.
Although the members’ outfits were different, they worked well together and emphasized the fresh and youthful vibes that the group seemed to be going for.
Sitting on the front row, ILLIT looked like professional and experienced idols.
In photos shared by photographers, the outfits of each member could be seen better and they truly exuded an unreal aura for idols who haven’t even debuted yet.
After the show ended, the ILLIT Instagram page posted better photos of the girls’ outfits, and they truly exuded star quality.
After the event ended, netizens couldn’t hide their pride of seeing the members at such a huge event, sharing the impact it had on ILLIT, whether it was their social media stats or the reactions from people at the event.
ILLIT gained 6K followers on Instagram and 4K on TikTok in less than 24 hours of attending the show.

Yet, some fans seemed to hit back at ILLIT’s appearance, continuing to accuse the members of HYBE privilege.
this is quite literally the definition of big company privilege and payola 😭

Of course, with the intense hate gaining attention, it wasn’t surprising that fans of the group and netizens hit back at the comments. Along with sharing that the members would have gained a huge fanbase from R U Next?, the reactions from the crowds showcased that the members were recognized and supported.
