Opening the EP is ‘little monster’, a track full of vintage pop energy. With playful synth lines and elegant progression, this song delivers a magical yet delicate atmosphere. The vocals are crisp, the hook is addictive, and the entire track makes for a powerful introduction to the project.

This title song ‘Billyeoon Goyangi (Do the Dance)’ brings serious Anime OST vibes, offering a whimsical and layered composition that immediately grabs attention. The mixing and arrangement are playful, and the hook is signature ILLIT—catchy and full of personality. The music video further elevates the concept, blending vintage film aesthetics with anime-inspired visuals, and the members shine with pure charm.

With a bouncy rhythm and upbeat tempo, ‘Jellyous’ is pure serotonin in sound. The rap sections and melodic vocals make for a delightfully playful and fun listen that stays on repeat.

‘Oops!’ jumps into groovier territory, offering a pop-punk energy blended with unexpected instrumental twists. The build-up is dynamic, and the track adds a bold touch to the overall release.

The final track, ‘bamsopoong’, brings back the retro and lo-fi essence with a soft, nostalgic aura. The vocal layering, gentle ad-libs, and overall vintage feel create a perfect closing that’s both emotional and serene.

ILLIT’s ‘bomb’ is a total no-skip EP, showcasing the group’s evolving musicality while staying true to their unique colour. From vintage to pop-punk and anime-core, this project has it all—versatility, charm, and flawless execution.

Dive into ‘bomb’ now and experience ILLIT’s growth in full bloom.
