K-pop rookie ILLIT will return with its second EP, “I’ll Like You,” on Oct. 21, the group’s agency said Monday.
It will mark the girl group’s first release since its successful debut in March, which saw its first EP, “Super Real Me,” enter Billboard’s main albums chart, the Billboard 200.
“Magnet,” the album’s lead single, became the first debut song by a K-pop act to enter both Billboard’s Hot 100 and the British Official Singles Top 100 charts.
