Rising K-pop girl group ILLIT has successfully concluded their sold-out encore fan concert, solidifying their status as a global trendsetter. The event, titled “2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY ENCORE,” took place on November 8 and 9, 2025, at the Seoul Olympic Hall, drawing in their dedicated fanbase, known as GLIT, for a spectacular finale to their successful year.
A Year of Unstoppable Chart Success
Throughout 2025, ILLIT has proven their immense popularity, particularly among the “Gen Zalpha” demographic. The group’s momentum began in June 2025 with the release of their 3rd mini-album, featuring the title track “Borrowed Cat,” which quickly dominated various television music show charts. This domestic success set the stage for their international expansion. In September 2025, the group made their official debut in Japan, achieving remarkable chart success on major platforms like Oricon and Billboard Japan. This consistent performance has cemented their position as one of the notable K-pop girl groups making waves globally.

Special Stages and Fan Interactions
To make the night even more special, ILLIT prepared exclusive performances. They performed their Japanese promotional song “Toki Yo Tomare” for the first time in Korea, delighting fans with a new side of their artistry. A major highlight was their stunning cover of “Perfect Night” by their HYBE label-mates, LE SSERAFIM, which earned an explosive reaction from the crowd. The event was filled with warm interactions between ILLIT and GLIT, strengthening the bond they share.
A New Chapter: “NOT CUTE ANYMORE”
During the concert, ILLIT surprised fans with a major announcement: a new single release. The group revealed they will be releasing their first single, titled “NOT CUTE ANYMORE,” on November 24, 2025.
