SEOUL, August 07 (AJP) - K-pop girl group ILLIT is taking on a new challenge, stepping into the world of sitcom acting for the first time since their debut.
On the night of August 6, the group released the second teaser for their new self-produced content series titled "The Genre is ILLIT, Introduction to Youth Studies" through their official YouTube channel.
The upcoming series "The Genre is ILLIT" follows the comedic campus life of five freshmen at the fictional ILLIT University. Each member takes on a unique character as they navigate college life, form friendships, and learn to work as a team, all while showcasing the awkward, endearing charm of youth.
Despite the teaser’s short length, it offers a vivid glimpse into each member’s role. Yuna plays an exuberant and cheerful theater major bursting with enthusiasm. Minju transforms into a competitive physical education major. Moka takes on the role of a top-ranking law student, highlighting her studious persona. Wonhee portrays a quirky, free-spirited art student. Iroha rounds out the group as an early childhood education major who may lack bite but never holds back her thoughts.
In one scene, the five characters gather for a group project, only for tensions to rise as Yuna and Minju both vie for the lead in the presentation. Moka steps in to mediate, but the teaser ends on a cliffhanger as the group's dynamics take a dramatic turn, heightening anticipation for the full episode.
Episode one of "The Genre is ILLIT" will premiere on August 11 at 8 p.m. on the group's official YouTube channel.
