According to one student who attended, the members stood out for both their looks and their energy. In particular, Minju and Moka caught attention for their visuals, with the post describing them as “so pretty” while also pointing at how passionately they danced.
The group’s live singing was also appreciated in the now-viral post.
I was actually a fan of another group and only listened to ILLIT’s songs here and there, but they were all so pretty… Especially Miju and Moka, they were seriously gorgeous. They danced so passionately, sang so well, and I think I’ve actually become a fan now. Honestly, I originally liked another girl group, but I’ve ended up falling in love with ILLIT.

They also emphasized that the audience’s response was overwhelmingly positive, pushing back against earlier claims online that the crowd had been lukewarm. The fan even noted that ILLIT had the best stage manners and comments of all the teams performing that day.
I know that post saying “there was no reaction” was just someone trying to stir things up, but I still felt upset, so I wanted to write this. The crowd’s response at the venue was honestly amazing, and out of all the teams, ILLIT had the best stage manners and comments, it was really moving. I think ILLIT will become even more successful. Minju unnie, I love you!
+ This isn’t some kind of promotion, I’m just an ordinary college student.. Please don’t fight.
