HYBE’s Upcoming Girl Group I’LL-IT Makes History with Paris Fashion Week Invitation
In a groundbreaking move, HYBE’s subsidiary label BELIFT LAB announced that their upcoming girl group I’LL-IT has been invited to attend Paris Fashion Week by the Swedish brand Acne Studios. This marks a historic moment as I’LL-IT becomes the first K-Pop group to have all its pre-debut members attend a major fashion show.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
The announcement sparked mixed reactions among netizens. While some fans expressed excitement and anticipation, others voiced concerns and criticism. Many questioned the decision to invite a pre-debut group to such a prestigious event, arguing that it was unfair to established artists who have yet to receive similar opportunities.
Allegations of “HYBE Privilege”
Some netizens accused HYBE of using its influence and resources to secure this opportunity for I’LL-IT, labeling it as “HYBE privilege.” They pointed out that the group has not yet released any music or showcased their talents beyond the reality show “R U Next?” and questioned why they were being given such a high-profile platform.
Defenders of the Decision
Others defended the decision, arguing that the members of I’LL-IT had worked hard to earn their place in HYBE and that their invitation was a testament to their dedication and potential. They also emphasized that the brand had extended the invitation directly to the group, suggesting that their selection was based on merit rather than favoritism.
Anticipation for I’LL-IT’s Debut
Despite the controversy, I’LL-IT’s appearance at Paris Fashion Week is undoubtedly a significant moment in their career. It remains to be seen how the public will react to the group’s debut, but their participation in such a prestigious event is sure to generate buzz and anticipation.
