ILLIT Celebrates with a Twist

ILLIT brought laughter and fun to the forefront with a unique twist on a traditional birthday celebration. The group, consisting of Yoonah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha, dropped the latest episode of "SUPER ILLIT" season 3, titled "Lee Wonhee 20th opposed party," on their official YouTube channel on the 16th.

The celebration was anything but ordinary as the production team threw a party for Wonhee, who was excited to embrace adulthood. However, in a playful turn, the other members rejected his "adult declaration," humorously insisting on preserving his youthful image. They cheekily altered a congratulatory banner, replacing "congratulations" with "opposed," catching Wonhee off guard.

Playful Banter and Contracts

Not backing down, Wonhee humorously remarked to Iroha, the group's youngest, "Babies sleep at home; the people in their 20s will go to a late-night movie." This prompted laughter as the members chimed in, suggesting that Wonhee wait another year until Iroha also turns 20.

“They're both babies. Wonhee should wait just one year until Iroha turns 20,” they quipped, filling the room with laughter.

The celebration included a whimsical contract written by the members, affectionately requesting that Wonhee maintain his status as ILLIT's beloved "maknae." The contract was filled with endearing conditions like "maintain soft cheek fat," "don't lose curiosity," and "keep playing and joking together like now," creating a heartfelt and warm atmosphere.

A Surprise Spy and Birthday Cake Antics

As the festivities reached their peak, a surprise game unfolded. Production staff, donning T-shirts emblazoned with "absolutely protect Wonhee's cheek fat," began to snatch away 20 candles from the cake. The members, determined to retrieve the candles, were left in disbelief when the number remained incomplete.

In a dramatic twist, Iroha was revealed as a secret spy aiding the production staff. Despite the playful chaos, ILLIT managed to light the 20th birthday cake candles and join in celebrating Wonhee's new chapter.

The "SUPER ILLIT" series offers a glimpse into the members' genuine and quirky personalities, separate from their polished stage personas. As season 3 wraps up with this episode, fans eagerly anticipate the group's return with their new album, MAMIHLAPINATAPAI, set to drop on April 30, featuring the title track "It's Me." ILLIT continues to captivate global fans with their innovative music and concepts, keeping anticipation high for their latest release.
