Notice how there's 5 unicorns? There's a theory around saying that these are the girls' unicorns according to their representative color
Yunah - red
Minju - purple
Moka - green
Wonhee - blue
Iroha - orange
The music video starts with the girls showing their powers
Yunah - super strength
Minju - x-ray vision / foresight vision(?) (her ability is quite confusing)
Moka - freezes time when holding her breath
In the mv, Minju uses her ability to find the missing puzzle piece which is in the next room where Iroha is. While Iroha is using her ability, we can see the missing puzzle piece.
It cuts to ILLIT being asleep, indicating that their adventures may have happened in dreamland just like Alice with her adventures in wonderland. But Iroha is seen with the unicorn plush. So one of my theory is:
The girls are having what looks most likely to be a slumber party. They then received a 'secret message' which is an invitation with a unicorn to probably "MY WORLD"
If you search dreamcore, these kind of images would show up. ILLIT's concept reminds me so much of a dream. Especially their Super Real Me Brand Film. You can feel a sense of deja Vu, nostalgia and a feeling where something is familiar but isn't at the same time.
I don't know if it's also intentional or not but Minju was looking for the missing piece which was her unicorn. The missing piece was her unicorn's eye/face/head, hinting at her ability lol
That's right, Alice in Wonderland. In Alice in Wonderland, the white rabbit was the one who led her down the rabbit hole. In ILLIT's lore, the unicorns are the ones who are leading them to another world. A strange yet magical world just like Wonderland.
In My World, there's a line mentioning the invitation to their magical world as well as a unicorn keyring. The girls set out to find this keyring for them to be able to enter their world. They try to search in a locker room / changing (idk what it's called)
The girls get inside a fitting room. Reminds me of the Fairy Flyway which is a fairy shortcut to spots all over the human world in Barbie: A Fairy Secret. They look like changing rooms that are being used, even though no one is in them. When people are transported in them (cont.)
Wonhee uses her light manipulation ability to help them in the darkness and then the girls are crawling since the halls are shrinked. Again, reminds me of Alice in Wonderland 🙂
they disappear in a bright light. Anything they are carrying is left behind, such as clothes brought into the changing room. Just like in the movie, the girls also disappear in a bright light and are transported to another place.
(Just a fun resemblance that makes me nostalgic)
A hallway in a dream symbolizes a journey from one phase of life to another. It evokes a sense of curiosity and exploration, often leading to an unknown destination 👀
I don't know how to really explain this but it feels as if they're in a dream. They keep running around endless hallways really proving that finding the keyring is really a challenge. But they're having fun :)
The girls finally found the unicorn keyring. (Also, the unicorn on the keyring is orange which is Iroha's representative color and she was the one who took it.)
A dead end in a dream indicates that a current situation in your life is not working out as you hoped for, making you disappointed. But the girls overcame this when Yunah used her super strength to punch through the wall and is in another place with different clothes.
The girls spot a unicorn pointing them in the direction of finding the keyring. The unicorns serve as a guide for them. They went through the door and once again is in another dark hallway
They open a door which reveals another door (ik I sound crazy but bear with me) After opening the second door, they see a unicorn plushie, probably signalling that they're near to finding the keyring 🤔
(Remember the plushie)
@illieseo
Hear me out. Cutesy concept slowly turning into dark concept everytime they comeback. They'd comeback with a cute doll concept but with creepy undertones then it progressively gets darker and girl crush as they comeback. Like RV's concept
This part is really random 😭 They're rolling lol Wonhee rolls onto a bed and then stands up to join the rest of the girls to a door. Looks like they're going back where they came from since they found the keyring. It's also night time now since it's dark 🤔
Can't believe what just happened. She was so happy to finally debut, she said she wanted to greet newjeans as a fellow gg member but that evil woman ruined it for her. She deserves better
#JUSTICE_FOR_YOUNGSEO
I remembered this part from the last chapter of Dark Moon Blood Altar when I saw this during Super Real Me Brand Film 👀
Is Selen like ILLIT's Super Me clones or other selves while Sooha is like the real me version?
Belift is gonna drop anything illit related tonight right??? Only a month left. They're not that stupid right??? Belift I beg of you please release something tonight or else I'm gonna go insane.

I know we couldn't wait for a fandom name but it would've been more cute if they revealed the fandom name in May since the birth flower of that month is Lily (of the valley)
LILLY MAGNETIZED BY ILLIT

🚨ILLIT POSSIBLE WEBTOON NAME?
There's a marble on illits's promotional calendar and I remembered this trademark from Hybe. And There's also the pic from episode 7 of Runext 👀
Hello
@BELIFTLAB
@MelOn
We noticed that
#ILLIT
member,
#WONHEE
has been accidentally cropped out of ILLIT Official Group Profile Header on your music platform. Kindly change the header to a picture where all 5 members are clearly visible. Thank you.

@ILLIT_official
Here's my fandom name suggestion!
• ILIGHT •
If ILLIT means 'I Will Be It' then ILIGHT means 'I Will Be The Light'. It means that the fans will be the group's guiding light and will be the ILIGHT (highlight) of their lives. "ILIGHT the path for ILLIT"
Okay I'm starting to stan enha again. I've only been casually listening to their releases and didn't really fully stan them. Engene moots where should I start? Any variety shows or underrated bsides for you to recommend? 🫶
@mrclksw
The song is finished, the girls stop dancing, Wonhee spots something and points to the sky. They all look up and the clouds start to form the fandom name. Ngl, that would be genius
