The explosive growth of the group ILIT is unusual.

According to album distributors Genie Music and Stone Music Entertainment on the 18th, pre-orders for their second mini album 'I'LL LIKE YOU exceeded 550,000 copies the day before. This is more than 2.6 times higher than the final pre-order volume (211,851) of their debut album, mini 1st album 'SUPER REAL ME'. As there are still three days left until the release date, the trend is more expected in the future.

Eilet made a remarkable achievement as soon as she debuted in March. 'SUPER REAL ME' sold more than 380,000 copies in the first week of its release alone, and it entered the US Billboard main album chart 'Billboards 200'. In addition, the album's title song 'Magnetic' made history of entering the main US Billboard song chart 'Hot 100' and the UK 'Official Single Top 100' (April 5) for the first time as a K-pop debut song.



Thanks to this global popularity, the cumulative sales of 'SUPER REAL ME' steadily increased, reaching 558,227 copies (counting period March 25 to September 30) based on the circle chart. As the new book also easily exceeded 500,000 pre-orders, Eilit not only turned on the green light for the addition of its second half-million-selling album in its debut year, but also seems easy to achieve 1 million cumulative album sales this year.

Eilit's 2nd mini album 'I'LL LIKE YOU', which will be released at 6 p.m. on the 21st, depicts a girl who is overly immersed in the moment meeting a person she wants to be close to and agonizing over her relationship with people around her, but eventually believes in her heart and goes straight to 'I'. The title song 'Cherish (My Love)' is a dance pop genre that features addictive hooks, catchy beats, and the clear tone of the members.
