ILLIT’s fandom now has a new official name!
Back in April, ILLIT originally announced that the name of their official fan club would be LILLY. However, after some fans expressed concerns about the name, including similarities to other K-pop fandom and idol names, BELIFT LAB responded by stating that they would change the name.
On September 1, BELIFT LAB announced that the new name of ILLIT’s official fan club will be “GLLIT” (pronounced “glit,” as in the English word “glitter”).
According to the agency, “GLLIT” was “inspired by the word ‘glitter,’ which means to sparkle and shine. It means in ILLIT’s eyes, the fans shine the brightest and they also make ILLIT sparkle.”
BELIFT LAB’s full English announcement is as follows:
