ILLIT, the rising K-pop girl group that has taken the music world by storm, graces the cover of Vogue Korea’s June 2025 issue with a pictorial that’s already making waves across the globe. The shoot, which took place in a minimalist yet ethereal studio in Seoul, captures the group’s unique blend of youthful energy and sophisticated charm-a duality that has quickly become their signature.

The concept for this special pictorial was inspired by the theme “New Beginnings,” reflecting both the group’s rapid ascent in the industry and their journey of self-discovery. Styled by renowned fashion director Kim Ji-soo, the members wore a mix of avant-garde Korean designers and classic international labels, seamlessly blending tradition and modernity. The creative vision was brought to life by photographer Park Min-kyu, whose dreamy, soft-focus style perfectly complemented ILLIT’s fresh image.

Behind the scenes, the atmosphere was one of excitement and camaraderie. According to staff, the group members-Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha-were deeply involved in the creative process, offering input on everything from poses to set design. Makeup artist Lee Seul-gi and hairstylist Choi Eun-jung worked closely with each member to highlight their individual personalities, resulting in looks that felt both personal and aspirational.

This Vogue Korea feature comes at a pivotal moment for ILLIT. Following the success of their recent mini-album and a string of sold-out showcases across Asia, the group is quickly establishing themselves as one of the most promising acts in K-pop. Industry insiders note that this pictorial is not only a celebration of their achievements so far but also a signal of even bigger things to come.

Fans can look forward to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot, set to be released on Vogue Korea’s digital platforms later this month. With their Vogue Korea pictorial, ILLIT continues to prove that they are more than just a musical sensation-they are true style icons for a new generation.
