ILLIT Performs Emotional Debut Fan Concert and Teases Comeback With ‘Little Monster’
ILLIT held their much-anticipated first solo concert on June 7 and 8 at Olympic Hall in Seoul’s Olympic Park, thrilling their fandom GLLIT with powerful performances and heartfelt moments. The event, titled ‘2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY IN SEOUL’, was the group’s debut standalone concert, and both nights sold out well in advance, proving how quickly the group’s popularity is rising.
The concert ran for 150 minutes, packed with 11 songs and several interactive talk segments that kept the crowd fully engaged. Fans were especially excited as this concert came right before ILLIT’s comeback, and the group didn’t disappoint—surprising everyone with a first live performance of a brand-new track from their upcoming third mini album, bomb, scheduled for release on June 16.
That new song, called "little monster," was the star of the night. It’s a playful but meaningful track that uses a monster metaphor to talk about anxiety, with lyrics about confronting and defeating internal fears. The group’s message to fans was clear:
"Your worries are our worries—we’ll devour them all!" ILLIT
The catchy hooks combined with dreamy vocals made "little monster" a standout moment, lifting the energy in the venue and giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. The track had already been teased in a concept film, but hearing it live for the first time made it all the more special.
ILLIT also made sure the concert felt intimate and interactive. They stepped out on extended stages that reached into the crowd, creating a real connection with GLLIT. Performances like “IYKYK (If You Know You Know)” included fans mimicking their hand movements, while during “I’ll Like You,” the group divided song parts with the audience, turning the stage and fans into one united team.
As the night drew to a close, the group got emotional reflecting on what this milestone meant to them. Minju shared a heartfelt moment:
"Ever since I was young, it’s been my dream to hold our own concert in front of so many fans. Thank you for making it come true." Minju
Iroha expressed how much fan support means to them:
"The love from GLLIT gives me strength every day. I’ll keep working hard to be someone who brings happiness to you." Iroha
Wonhee called the experience a special moment:
"Getting to hold a fan concert filled with GLLIT was such a lucky girl moment." Wonhee
Tears came out for Moka, who said:
"I’m so thankful to have debuted with these members." Moka
Finally, Yunah wrapped things up looking forward to what’s next:
"We’ll keep working hard so our gratitude reaches GLLIT. Please look forward to our comeback soon!" Yunah
After delivering so many emotional and high-energy moments over the two days, ILLIT is gearing up to drop their third mini album bomb on June 16. Fans can expect that fresh energy and heartfelt connection to continue with their upcoming release.
