On March 8, the youtube channel of the comedian Kim Dae-Hee “Ggondaehee” uploaded a video entitled “[EN] [Let’s Eat] As if it were magnetic vs let’s eat magnesium (feat. Illit’s Wonhee, minju). “In the video, the members of Illit Wonhee and Minju joined Kim Dae-Hee for a fun and carefree conversation, sharing stories behind the scenes on their journey to their debut and the playful dynamic of their group.
Kim Dae-Hee asked the two, “Do you always become a singer your dream?”
Wonhee has opened his unexpected street casting experience, saying: “I lived in Changwon and had just taken an express bus for Seoul. While I was trying to find the subway station, someone approached me and asked me: “Do you know Hybe?” “ He revealed that this random encounter led to being launched on the spot and in the end it becomes a trainee. Laughing the memory, he added, “At the time I felt really embarrassed and I just wanted to end the situation quickly, but somehow, I ended up debuting as an IlLit member. My original dream was actually becoming a magician. “
Minju, on the other hand, had always aspired to become a singer. He shared, “From elementary school, I wanted to be an idol after seeing the idol themed cartons. Even when I entered the middle school, I still wanted to be a singer, so I asked my mother to send me to a dance academy. “
Minju recalled the challenges he had to face in convincing his mother, saying: “At the beginning, my mother said no, so I had to convince her every day. I finally managed to go, and after training in a class of hobbies, the director of the Academy encouraged me to make an audition. “ He continued, “I trained as a trainee in my first company for about three years before moving to Hybe and debut as a member of Illit.”
When Kim Dae-Hee raised Illlit’s reputation for playing jokes, he confirmed MINJU with impatience, “Right. We make many jokes of hidden camera. We also involve our performance director and the manager to deceive one of the members.”
Faithful to their playful nature, Illit had a joke prepared for the show: a ghost joke destined to frighten Kim Dae-Hee. The two members collaborated with the production staff, pretending not to hear the sounds of Ghost disturbing played by the crew. However, Kim Dae-Hee quickly took hold and launched the script, turning the joke against Illit and taking him off guard. In the end, their hidden camera tries to fail hilarious.
Despite their joke that ends in bankruptcy, Wonhee and Minju’s playful energy and candid stories gave fans a look at Ilit’s fun dynamics of the fun and unexpected paths that led them to debut.
