The ‘short-form powerhouse’ group ILLIT is once again showing signs of a challenge trend.

ILLIT posted the ‘Almond Chocolate (Korean version)’ performance video on their official YouTube channel on the 11th. Although a special film for ‘Almond Chocolate’ was released before, this is the first time that the choreography from beginning to end has been revealed.

In the performance video, the members wear pure white outfits and show off their clear and innocent visuals. They also maximize the excitement index by holding a blue bouquet of flowers in their hands and pretending to confess to someone. Rather than being completely shy, they showed off ILLIT‘s unique, bouncy charm with confident choreography that actively approaches.

ILLIT’s signature finger choreography shines this time as well. The point is the hand gestures that symbolize the feelings for the other person in various shapes of ‘almond chocolates’. They also added to the fun of watching with their lovely facial expressions while showing off their sharp group dance.

Fans who watched the performance video responded with comments such as, “Both the Japanese and Korean versions are really addictive”, “It‘s refreshing and my heart flutters”, “The lovely choreography, expressions, and voices are in perfect harmony”, and “I want to see it on a music show too”.

‘Almond Chocolate’ is a song that compares the passionate feelings and fluttering love for a person you like to almond chocolate. Ailit’s vocals stand out as she expresses overwhelming emotions with a bright and cheerful sound.

The original Japanese song, which was produced as the theme song for the movie ‘I Don‘t Like You Just by Your Face’, was first released on Valentine’s Day in February and received a good response locally. Ailrit said, “We hope this song, which we truly cherish, will be a gift to our fans,” and recently released a new Korean version.
