This female idol under HYBE is drawing attention for her visuals, with many comparing her to NMIXX Sullyoon.
Can you guess who it is?
I'LL-IT Garners Attention Amid Upcoming Debut
Following the successful debuts of girl groups LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans, HYBE is now finalizing the launch of I'LL-IT, a rookie group formed from the survival show, "RU Next."
Despite the last-minute departure of member Youngseo, leaving the lineup with only 5 girls - Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha - the group is garnering attention amid their upcoming debut.
Most recently, I'LL-IT caught attention during Paris Fashion Week for their striking resemblance to NewJeans, sparking discussions across Korean social media platforms.

Among the members, Minju is drawing significant attention in Korea for her doll-like appearance, exuding innocence, loveliness, and purity - all qualities that fit the South Korean beauty standard.
I'LL-IT Minju Visuals Draw Comparisons to NMIXX Sullyoon
Many have noted that Minju's petite yet plump face and large eyes bear resemblance to "fouth-gen top visual" Sullyoon of NMIXX.
Despite her beauty, Sullyoon is relatively less popular compared to idols like IVE's Jang Wonyoung or aespa's Karina. This is partly attributed to JYP Entertainment's strategic approach with NMIXX.
The group's music style caters to a niche audience, impacting their mainstream success despite establishing a dedicated fandom. Many fans sympathize with Sullyoon's under-appreciation.
Minju's comparison to Sullyoon highlights her potential trajectory to becoming one of fifth-gen's top visuals. With HYBE's backing, expectations are high for I'LL-IT's explosive debut. People believe the group's debut is poised to elevate Minju's visual status and avoid the pitfalls of being overlooked.
I'LL IT is set to officially debut on March 25, 2024, with the album "Super Real Me."
