In October, ILLIT made their comeback with I’ll Like You featuring the title track “Cherish (My Love).

The second episode, which showed the group playing games before a final dinner, was shared online on November 3. Near the end of the episode, each member gave their final thoughts.
While Yunah spoke, Iroha began to tear up, leading Yunah to comfort her.
Iroha then said she enjoyed the show and was touched because the staff were very kind.
Her reaction has been connected to the ongoing hate that ILLIT has faced as a result of HYBE’s various controversies. Since the feud with former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, ILLIT have been targeted over HYBE’s alleged plagiarism of NewJeans.
Many fans felt emotional over her reaction, reflecting on how she might have felt during the recording of the show.
