ILLIT, set to be the ‘younger sibling’ at HYBE LABELS and BELIFT LAB, is set to debut later this month, and they made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week at the Acne Studios FW24 Show.

Netizens commented, “They remind me of NewJeans,” “I wasn’t the only one who thought they look like NewJeans,” “They do look like NewJeans,” “I thought they were NewJeans at first glance,” “They have a very NewJeans vibe,” “Very NewJeans,” and “Maybe because they are from the same label? They are very similar to NewJeans.”
