• If they’re in their 60s, their kids will be in their 30s LOL. So the excuse that they’re buying it for their kids is f*cking hilarious LOL.
• If people in their 60s get their hearts fluttered by teens, isn’t it a mental issue?
• What’s up with the grandpas in their 60s?
• Seems like people are jealous that ILLIT is favored by granpdas in their 50s and 60s.
• It’s so funny how such posts come up during the comeback.
• Disgusting.

ILLIT recently released the music video for their title song “Cherish (My Love).”
