"Our own path"Illit, Min Hee-jin, suspicion of plagiarism in New Jin's → Live controversy head-on (Roundup)

Oct 21, 2024

The group Eilit shouted a head-on breakthrough in the controversy surrounding them.

On the afternoon of the 21st, a showcase for Eilet's second mini album 'AwillLike' was held at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. It is the first time in seven months that Eilit has made a comeback.

Younha said "I'm nervous and excited because it's my first comeback. Please watch the activities that begin today with a lot of interest and love," Mocha said. "We want to show more people our own charms with this album. I tried to show my growth. I hope this effort will reach many people," Wonhee said. "As it's our first comeback, I'm more excited and nervous than when we debuted" he said.

Lee Ro-ha "The songs in this album have a different atmosphere one by one. I'm excited to play a new song for you," Minju said. "I'll show you as many different sides as my debut album."

'Awill Like You' is an album about a girl who is overly immersed in the moment meets an opponent she wants to be close to and worries about her relationship with people around her, but eventually believes in her heart and goes straight to 'I'.

As of the 17th, the album achieved 550,000 pre-orders. This is a 2.6-fold increase from the final pre-order volume (211,851 copies) of the mini-first album 'Super Realme'.

Considering that the title song 'Magnetic' entered the U.S. Billboard's main single chart 'Hot100' and the U.K. 'Official Single Top 100' for the first time as a K-pop group debut song, and achieved the shortest Spotify streaming in history, the record march of the album is also a green light.

The title song "Cherish" (My Love) is a dance-pop genre song that incorporates Eilet's honest and bold charm, and it contains a message that I'm curious about your heart, but I like you more than that.

Yoona said "I was a little nervous because it felt like I had never done it before. The more I worked with the members, the more I thought it was our song. I put so much effort into recording it seven times. "Thank you for bringing me to the next level…" Minju said. "The performance shows a girl who does not turn a blind eye to her liking and expresses her feelings without regret. I hope you watch how many hearts we're making" he introduced.

Mocha "I prepared with the mindset of debuting again. I always want to do my best with the same mind for the first time,' he added.

In addition, the album contains a total of five songs, including 'I'll Like You'IYKK(If You Know You Know)'PEOMLE'Tik-Tak'.

Eyelet's comeback drew more attention than ever. It's because of Hive's internal strife. First, there was a plagiarism problem. Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Airdore, released a transcript containing testimony from officials, saying that Eilet plagiarized Newzins, and his agency, Billifrap, countered by "Founded".

Secondly, there was a problem with the Newzins members. During a live broadcast calling for Min's return, Newzins Hani came across another artist from Hive and heard the team manager say 'Ignore you'," he claimed to be a bully. Hani did not directly say who the group was, but Eilit's name was on the chopping block and eventually in Billifrap, it is not true that the members did not greet the members of the Newzins. There's a CCTV footage of the members greeting the members in 90 degrees"The manager didn't say that either"An official statement was issued.

Yoona said, `We worked hard on this album to show good performances, thinking about the fans who are always supporting us regardless of the situation. While preparing for the album, there was also the first anniversary of the team's formation, and I thought of those who helped me grow into an eyelet for a year. I focused on showing our colors well so that I can protect my love for Eilet. As shown in the brand film, Eilet prepared this album with the intention of moving on to Eilet's path" he said.

He also gave a cool answer to the live controversy. Iroha "I prepared it in detail after hearing the opinions of many people. I'll become an ITZY who grows even moreYoona appeared on various stages, including overseas performances and university festivals, in preparation for this album. I was able to grow up with various experiences while preparing for the stage"I was confident.
