Group ILLIT has achieved a triple crown at a major domestic awards ceremony.
ILLIT (Yuna, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) swept three awards at the ‘2026 K World Dream Awards’ held on the 27th at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, taking home the main ‘K World Dream Artist Award’, the ‘K World Dream Best Stage Award’, and the ‘K World Dream Group Popularity Award’.
In particular, winning the popularity award, which is determined 100% by fan voting, proved their explosive love from global fans and solid fandom power.
Immediately after receiving the awards, ILLIT shared their emotional thoughts, saying, “It is a true honor to receive three valuable awards. Thank you to GLLIT (fandom name) who have supported us unwaveringly since our debut. We will continue to grow and show you even more amazing sides of ourselves.”
On this day, ILLIT heated up the venue by performing their global chart-sweeping hit song ‘It’s Me’. They completed a perfect stage combining lovely styling with sharp choreography and powerful energy, drawing explosive cheers from the audience.
ILLIT continues to write a continuous box office success story, ranging from the reverse-driving song ‘NOT CUTE ANYMORE’ which ranked 7th on Billboard’s ‘Bubbling Under Hot 100’ in the first half of this year, to their 4th mini-album ‘Mamilapinatapai’ which ranked 26th on the ‘Billboard 200’, and the collaborative track ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’ which placed 38th on Billboard’s ‘Hot 100’ and 22nd on the UK’s ‘Official Singles Top 100’. Their title track ‘It’s Me’ has also been reigning near the top of major charts for over 4 months.
Meanwhile, having successfully wrapped up their first tour, ILLIT will continue their global momentum by holding the encore tour ‘ILLIT LIVE ‘PRESS START♥’ ENCORE’, starting at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on October 17-18 and heading to the LaLa Arena Tokyo-Bay in Chiba, Japan in December.
