Illit Expands Concert Seats After Fan Frenzy in Japan!

Illit to Add More Seats for Sold-Out Japan Fan Concerts, Says Belift Lab

K-pop sensation Illit is expanding capacity for their upcoming Japanese fan concerts after experiencing overwhelming demand, Belift Lab announced on Tuesday. The agency’s decision comes in response to all tickets selling out for the group’s “Glitter Day” events. The rising girl group is set to perform in Yokohama on August 10-11 and in Osaka on September 3-4. Due to the immense popularity, Illit and Belift Lab have opted to release additional seats starting Wednesday, giving more fans the opportunity to attend. This surge in demand isn’t limited to Japan. The quintet’s recent Seoul fan concerts last month also saw a complete ticket sell-out, further cementing their growing fanbase.

Interestingly, Illit has achieved this feat without having officially debuted in Japan. Their first Japanese-language single, “Almond Chocolate,” released in February, has become a streaming phenomenon. It claimed the title of most-streamed song by an international female act on Oricon for the first half of this year, amassing over 50 million streams. Additionally, the group’s third EP, “Bomb,” secured the second spot on Oricon’s daily, weekly, and combined album charts.

In related news, Illit treated fans to the music video for “Jellyous” on Monday, a track from their latest EP. This release continues to build anticipation for the group’s upcoming performances and potential future projects.

As Illit’s popularity soars in Japan, industry insiders are keeping a close eye on the group’s next moves in the competitive K-pop landscape.
