Rookie girl group ICHILLIN‘ has been slowly climbing up in recognition lately. As they continue to promote, fans have stumbled upon the following photo and realized that the group’s handsign seemed to be similar to that of girl group DIA‘s.
DIA’s handsign involves the girls making a diamond shape with their hands.
Did the rookie group really copy their sunbaes? A quick check indicates that the group had posed as such as they were taking a photo to promote their guest appearance on the show RAP:PUBLIC.

The show’s logo is a diamond, leading the girls to pose as such.
In fact, ICHILLIN’s signature sign is actually a “hang loose” sign to indicate their namesake of being chilled out.
DIA has also been inactive as a group since 2022. It looks like netizens got it wrong this time!
