Meanwhile, Gaeul mentioned during a livestream that she:
"loves ILLIT’s ‘Do The Dance’ so much these days,"
even playfully mimicking the group’s signature cat pose, which quickly caught fans’ attention.
Not just IVE members, but Baek Ji Heon also showed her support. She used ILLIT’s song in her recent Instagram post that revealed concept photos for fromis_9’s upcoming 6th mini album, From Our 20’s. Her use of the track helped shine a light on ILLIT’s growing influence within the K-pop community.

Across social media, fan apps, and community forums, conversations are thriving with excitement about the song and the group. Some of the reactions include:
