HYBE girl group ILLIT is yet again facing merciless criticism on social media over one of their group photoshoots.
ILLIT | HYBE
The photoshoot in question is originally from 2024, when all five members of the group featured in the Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2024 campaign.
The group shot from the campaign recently resurfaced on X(formerly, Twitter) through a post that claimed that the ILLIT members had “no aura at all.”

The post, which has since garnered nearly half a million views, has become a source of scathing criticism for the ILLIT members’ supposed lack of star quality.

However, fans fiercely defended the girls, pointing out that if a 2024 photoshoot was relevant enough to be brought up two years later, then that itself spoke magnitudes about ILLIT’s star power.
