On April 22nd, ILLIT’s agency BELIFT LAB announced through Weverse that the fan club name, which had been previously announced on April 21st, was chosen with fan participation in mind. The chosen name reflects the agency’s desire for a lasting bond between ILLIT and their fans. However, due to various concerns that have been raised, the agency has decided to reevaluate the decision.
The agency clarified that the fan club’s new name will be selected from a list of candidates and will be announced at a later date. They also apologized for any confusion caused by the decision to not hold a naming contest for the fan club.
On April 21st, ILLIT, the youngest daughter of HYBE, revealed their official fandom name. Prior to this, BELIFT LAB had announced that the members of ILLIT would be choosing the fan club name from a list of options submitted by fans. Ultimately, the official fandom name chosen by ILLIT was “LILLY,”which has faced criticism from fans of NMIXX and BLACKPINK’s Lisa.
Despite the fact that this name had already been chosen, there was some controversy surrounding it due to its similarity to NMIXX’s Lily. It was argued that using a senior’s name as the fandom name was a violation of business ethics.
Ultimately, ILLIT made the decision to modify the fandom name from LILLY to “LILLYs” . However, the issue continued as “LILLYs” clashed with the individual fan club name of BLACKPINK’s Lisa (LILIES). As a result, ILLIT opted to alter the fan club name once more.
