Recently, LE SSERAFIM visited ILLIT as the younger girl group was practicing, and they even surprised the members with a cake. During the visit, the ILLIT members were seemingly practicing for a cover of the popular LE SSERAFIM single, “Perfect Night.”

Upon seeing the LE SSERAFIM members enter the practice room, screams of excitement are heard from the ILLIT stars. Some of them even jump in excitement and are visibly shocked.

Netizens have accused all of the above as being extreme overreactions.

Netizens claim that, since they’re both girl groups under HYBE, they must see each other often. Others have even accused the interaction of being scripted.

Accusations of HYBE trying to force a “family” image between their groups under different sub-labels have also been thrown around.

On the other hand, many fans have defended the two girl groups and accused netizens of picking at an innocent interaction.

What are your thoughts? Is ILLIT’s reaction to LE SSERAFIM’s surprise scripted and over-the-top, or is it simply normal excitement when seeing your friends? You can comment your thoughts in the replies of our social media post below!
