ILLIT YUNAH Criticized For Not Suiting Group Concept Explained...?

I can't relate, you can't relate, we can't relate.

[@justmebeingmeh]

She fits more in dark girl crush concepts but she does good in illit too

[@SunhaJae]

She looks super mesmerizing with that red black outfit..that style suits her more than illit's style..she has a fierce powerful aura which is opposite to illita..

[@waffles7923]

if illit stays together until iroha matures then they can lean into girl crush concepts and i think it'll all work out

[@Minjeong4life]

Iroha and Wonhee* both are same age

[@kurokurt5477]

@@Minjeong4life no not really

[@shersxtrustx2864]

I agree. Don’t think she should be criticized because all illit girls fit girl crush concept, each giving it their own aura (Yuna strong, Wonhee cute, Minju flirty,…). In the future they would probably lean more towards it so the concept can fit everyone

[@shulker9361]

@@Minjeong4lifethey have a one year difference

[@Minjeong4life]

@@shulker9361 Oh! Both are almost same age actually, although Iroha is younger, I don't really know about age gap but they only have like a year or half a year gap together.

[@bluemoo7611]

I think people are overreacting when they say she doesn't suit the concept. She looks like she suits other performances just fine

[@cheribitch5396]

literally, I also think ppl wouldn’t be hating if she was a child like some of the others were , I bet cause she’s the oldest they be hating (kpop Stan’s perception of age is crazy)

[@laughysophie8818]

@@cheribitch5396nah she definitely has a more mature and stern face that doesn't suit their concept

[@cranburrey]

She suits My World performances more than Magnetic

[@cranburrey]

​@@cheribitch5396I mean it highly depends on her facial structure and voice. Minju and Moka are around the same age as her yet they fit the concept so well because of their voices and how they look overall

[@welloschmallow]

That's what I thought too ! They are being dramatic. She sure looks different but please

[@rururyuvely]

I only recently discovered them, but she stood out the most to me. I think she's super pretty and I love her voice.

[@bluecupcake9636]

Honestly Yunah is the only reason why i still listen to ill-it's music since yeongseo left the group. idk why but there is something i love about Yunah's voice.

[@hellopuppycat]

I think Yunah's voice is like the cherry on top, her part in Lucky Girl S it's my favorite.

[@bluecupcake9636]

@@hellopuppycat idgaf about people hating her voice, i think its good

[@nayshine7875]

It reminds of when Chungha was in ioi theyre both really talented but they really do excel in more mature concepts and I hope illit at least explores more concepts

[@XlAOTlNG]

her iroha minju and youngseo were the ones the choose dark/girl crush alot in runext… moka did try some w tomboy and did well… it seems like the concept was built around wonhee??? i wont be surprised if youngseo left cuz the concept didnt suit her as she the one that rarely tried cute concepts in the show

[@aalizzwell873]

this! I really think they build the concept just for Wonhee, that's why she suits it the most, it's bcs they build the concept around her, not what suits the group, but only to what suits her.

[@TheNinatown]

I think it's rather the other way around.. Wonhee suited the concept they had in mind so well, that they chose her despite lacking training.. with the girls they chose (and the ones they left behind) it's clear that they already had this youthful concept in mind

[@arimamira]

Do you genuinely believe Youngseo trained so long and cried so hard when she was announced as a member only to leave because of the concept?

[@arimamira]

@@TheNinatownagreed! from the runext theme song they knew what concept they wanted

[@roxxy._]

Fr! I so agree with this. im so mad at be:lift for this but it isnt wonhees fault either.

[@leekuri1636]

why is yunah the one getting criticised for apparently not suiting the concept 💀 it’s not like she or any of the members gets to choose these things

[@d_3_ty]

I think both of her and iroha would suit in a dark concept more

[@roxxy._]

Yea! If youngseo was still in the group she would suit dark concept so much and also moka since she did tomboy and i thought she suits it.

[@mikkaill93]

Yunah and Iroha caught my eye bc they stand out in their current concept and I love that. It gives them an edge

[@nurulnadeera3159]

She still good, but i think she more suit with savage concept. Maybe himena is more suitable because of cute concept.

[@eniddeltacross4410]

Yeah, i agree. She suits the Itzy's concept. She has this swaggy and badass aura. Thats why i couldnt put a finger that innocent vibe was just too off for her

[@AmiAki]

It’s not her fault people liked her enough to vote her in the group. It’s not like anyone knew what their concept will be either. Now yall want to complain she doesn’t suit the concept. Well it’s not Yunah’s fault she has no say in concept chosen for the group.

[@cranburrey]

How was anyone supposed to know about ILLIT's concept until their debut??

[@AmiAki]

@@cranburrey that’s my point

[@ephemeral02]

i love the last outfit its so cute. she can definitely do cute/fresh concepts

[@KikkaLuly]

she was my favorite in runext and i really wanted her to debut but when i looked at the final lineup i realized that there were slim chances that belift was going for a concept that suited her.. after youngseo left the fate was pretty much sealed… she has the potential to be a shining star but the illit debut concept really stifles her i hope they evolve in the future

[@Miochh]

She was also my favourite on the show, I was really hoping she would get a concept where she could shine like a center member but I agree this theme just washes her out. I really hope they do a more mature concept in the future so she can stand out more and gets the love she deserves.

[@KikkaLuly]

@@Miochh the fact that she’s so overlooked in the debut really breaks my heart. i think there is a middle ground where there can be a concept that makes her shine without hindering the other girls (i feel like girl crush would not suit wonhee and maybe moka) the thing is that a y2k cool concept instead than the girly bubblegum they went for could work really well for all of the members, but i fear the accusations of illit copying new jeans would get out of control if they went with that.

[@이름팬]

They choose the cute ones to be with yunah & youngseo 😢 sadly youngseo left.

[@eli------------------0001]

I think they need to fix her eyebrows too. Her features are really sharp, and they sometimes shade her eyebrows super light, it was odd looking like she was sabotaged. They should give her big curls as well

[@marleybeavers]

i think the long black hair looks nice (she kind of looks like karina with it) but definitely something more fun and lively would look great on her.

[@Mimi-zm9ry]

Yes, it looks like her brows are much lighter color than her hair.

[@happyvirus0129]

The other members look like kids.

[@nassiac.300]

yeah

[@Wiki513]

She is already 20 guys... She can do whatever she wants, so dont hate on her

[@sungchoiz]

Don't you dare(netizens) criticized my fav girll💀

[@Grand_Finale-jh5kh]

who are you to prevent us? for criticizing...we have the right because we have eyes and ears...your so proud with your struggling cat voice hahaha

[@rxiixii]

She looks like she could be a Aespa member

[@dada-lp6pz]

aespa from aliexpress?

[@roxxy._]

⁠@@dada-lp6pzwait tbh she could be in a group called alie that has the same concept as aespa and she would fit perfectly 😅

[@Unofficial_Skz]

English: I agree 100%. Styling and makeup play a big look, the first stage outfits looked great but not suited well for Yunah. I hope that they stop hating on her. Korean: 난 100% 동의해. 스타일링과 메이크업은 큰 모습을 연출하며, 첫 번째 무대 의상은 멋져 보였지만 유나에게는 잘 어울리지 않았다. 나는 그들이 그녀를 싫어하는 것을 멈추길 바란다. Spanish: Estoy 100% de acuerdo. El estilo y el maquillaje juegan un gran aspecto, los atuendos de la primera etapa se veían muy bien, pero no se adaptaban bien a Yunah. Espero que dejen de odiarla. French: Je suis d'accord à 100%. Le style et le maquillage jouent un grand look, les tenues de la première étape avaient l'air géniales, mais ne convenaient pas bien à Yunah. J'espère qu'ils cesseront de la haïr. Russian: Я согласен на 100%. Стиль и макияж играют большой вид, наряды первой сцены выглядели великолепно, но не очень хорошо подходили для Юны. Я надеюсь, что они перестанут ненавидеть ее.

[@luv431]

i love her sm and she actually ate both concepts !!

[@LeeDefinitelyKnows]

In my eyes, Yunah fits the concept perfectly i dont know what the netizens are yapping about, because yunah fits it just fine.

[@arimamira]

I agree styling is very important

[@0302kdy]

She just doesn’t fit Illit concept. It’s not a hate, different idols are good at different concepts when they get lost in another concepts except few idols who have concept variety

[@ergoblaze]

The “survival show” (if we can even call it that) was HEAVILY favoured towards wonhee, that the other girls were an afterthought. Even when there were many girls more talented, more capable than wonhee (including yunah) in that show. This is a case of concept before grp formation. For you to comment this just shows how you are playing right into their hands of forcing concepts, instead of actual grp harmony.

[@markiss12]

I agree, it is not Yunah who doesn't fit the group's concept. It is just her stylist who doesn't know his/her job.

[@kurokurt5477]

minju and iroha did girl crush rally well too and nobody knows what kind of songs they will have

[@shaniquewright1951]

Oooh! That’s where I’ve seen her before. She also looks a lot like that other popular girl who was in the British Englishman visit Korea video. Her name is Miju I think.

[@tywar7167]

i agree it's because of the styling of some of her stage outfits

[@laughysophie8818]

Honestly she does stick out like a sore thumb. She's noticeably older and has more mature features that don't fit this type of cutesy and youthful concept.

[@aalizzwell873]

funny bcs there's two other girls who are the same age as her 😭

[@MichaelaNieves-po1ck]

she looks so pretty and all of them of course, it's just that her facial structures were built for dark concepts she should've tried auditioning to SM or YG since she's talented. But maybe we'll just learn and get used to her with the group over time. Rooting for Illit's bright future !! 💖

[@Sachi-d7m]

ユナちゃんお上品で何でも似合う🥰

[@andreahl3494]

Her voice sounds mature compared to the teenager's voices. The haters just forget that people grow up and once ILLIT's ages (or most of them) approach 18, they'll be changing concepts. Also, I notice that HYBE has been starting to debut fresh/minimalistic concepts before plunging their groups to other genres.

[@monicarojas8268]

It makes me sad because she is so talented, has such a beautifull voice and sings so well I hope theu give her better styling

[@akarykyaw3476]

She is 20 and her type is cool but others pretend overact cute there is also an age gap.She is better suit dark concept.

[@Miochh]

I just hope they will do some concepts that do her way more justice in the future, she deserves more love.

[@shootie2967]

She fits every concept, she's clearly my bias

[@wawaoku]

i love her voice and her versatility. and as a yunah bias i am proud to say that my noh yun-ah is perfect for illit’s concept and for girl crush concepts

[@rikraizen]

how can you not love yunah she literally ultimate rizzler

[@arieltran8335]

OMG YOU LITERALLY WORDED MY THOUGHTS SO WELL I AGREE !! ITs truely the styling more so than the girl herself

[@coldeyez49]

What we can do? It because of the vote.. and i am glad she debut.. fighting Yunah!!

[@inzaghiiii]

I think they were going for something else till youngseo left.

[@williamwilliams1368]

I think y’all are use to her being in the dark concepts and acting like she didnt do extremely well in Aim High because that’s probably why she debuted but hey

[@jaemin_diaries]

If ILLIT tries girl crush concepts yunah and iroha's fancams are increasing

[@duquinho380]

My God, Yunah's smile is beautiful 🩷🩷🩷🔥🔥🔥

[@madkmadk6809]

Kpop fans who think youngseo left because of a mere concept are dumb af. Trainees don't work that HARD only to drop out for petty things like this when the concept is bound to change in future. Nobody does the same concept forever. Ever seen Twice? The epitome of cute gg. Even they changed to mature concepts later on. They can do both

[@catseyereflex6774]

If they suceed and stick around for a few years.. They can go into that concept as well.

[@melisacaceres8740]

She reminds me of Seulgi. She also can fit both girl crush and cute concepts.

[@kippindes]

She's not meant to blur in!! Yunah is a bright shining star~

[@carshiacoleman]

She is TOO GOOD for illit concept

[@mungdawn2698]

The talent can do everything

[@KissyAdair]

Yea, they dressed her like an old woman the first few performances.

[@sunshinehope9825]

My honest opinion: Sparkly lively cutesy teen doesn't suit Yunah. She sticks out like a sore thumb in the debut song. She sings well and her dances are great, but she doesn't suit how ILLIT's representing themselves now. Maybe future songs could suit her better. The agency needs to take this into consideration more in picking songs/concepts.

[@tia._.covers2489]

shut up everyone who are critizing her she is my favourite

[@sangeeth003]

I think she is powerful

[@kpopstertube3563]

She really fits more with stronger concepts.

[@countlesscins]

She reminds me of kard somin. Somin was in a girly concept gg before redebuting in Kard which suit her wayyy more

[@mercywoodchannel01]

Agree with your opinion. She is really talented but when i look at illit concept kinda somehow for me

[@roxxy._]

Tbh if the group was js youngseo, iroha, yunah, moka, minju they could def pull off a concept like itzy or aespa or js girl crush in general. I do feel like the concept was built around wonhee.

[@LeoLoveCookie]

What’d you want them to do, rig it?🙄 She’s doing perfectly fine with the groups current concept. Yes she suits a more darker concept, but that doesn’t mean she can’t do a lighter one either. I imagine her to be the Sowon of the group💕

[@ghoulemvalentine3113]

she's great with every styles why be jealous??

[@janicetambongco]

She's the only member who looks like real person. Other's look like dolls.. I view their videos because it's catchy, feels like "just having fun song". Not a fan, not a hater. They sure do entertain with their Magnetic song.

[@kristineluna5008]

For me, when i first saw the group. She is the first one i noticed. The visual, talent ans stage presence is top tier. Its just that sometimes her outfit is not as pretty as the others. But she is so perfect, always happy and 100% performance level.

[@meydxx]

people be like: "Everyone throw hate to that talented member cz she didn't suit illit concept" also people to that member that debut cz of rigged thing: "OMG SHE'S SO CUTE AND ADORABLE, SHE'S IMPROVED"

[@beepboop449]

as someone unfamiliar with the idol show the group was formed on…i never felt like she was out of place 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Yukiver]

Yunah and Iroha suits dark concepts better tbh, runext shows that they fit more in girl crush or hiphop concepts.

[@summerkakigori]

She reminds me of Jeon Somin joining Apri.

[@iealys8721]

People say that because she has a more mature looking face while the others have baby faces. I think she does a great job with the concept. I didn’t watch the show this group came from but it seems like she’s very versatile!

[@fatmcgee509]

When they switch concepts she’ll be leading the way, not sure why people are buggin

[@mi-kyong423]

That's cuz she is from YG and people hate something good from YG

[@dada-lp6pz]

she’s the visual hole of the group…actually if they werent from hype they be nowhere near famous…zero live vocals and only this good song saved them

[@arimamira]

The visual hole??? even if she doesn’t fit the concept most ppl agree she’s gorgeous

[@SimgoonArtPod]

honestly even her facial structure has a type of fierceness in it, similar to Hongjoong's from ATEEZ 💥😂 she doesn't really sell cute and adorable to me and it's not even her fault

[@SappyTedjajuwana]

this proves that the debut was succesfull seeing how many critics coming for new group. usually people just dont care enough to criticize.

[@RubiSagahon]

She fits a lot with Lesserafim concept

[@JCzr_1]

SHE IS THE MOTHER OF THE GROUP❤❤🎉

[@idle_shuhua00]

It doesn’t make her any less beautiful, but I think she has a very mature look in comparison to the other members. Nonetheless, I don’t think it’s that much of a deal because she is able to go along with ILLIT’s concept

[@gatowebonn]

I think Illit concept suits her but in a elegant/expensive way, the other members look really childish but yuna just look cute/beautiful

[@AaA-lk8kx]

She doesn't have a baby like face that other members have so she stands out a bit

[@mamir9357]

She's perfect in every universe

[@eusabia3319]

ooooh nice explanation, at first I was "why are they saying that? she totally fits the concept" but now I understand netizen's such a boring specie 😢

[@Wanwanspittingfacts]

Honestly, she's a pretty girl, but she would suit darker waaay more than this girls next door concept illit is having. The main problem is the major contrast between Yunah and Wonhee. They definitely belong to complete different concepts. If illit chooses a concept that suits Yunah, then Wonhee gonna look out of place and vice versa

[@mindylopez8557]

jongeun would have fitted the concept more. She even won all R U Next challenges :(

[@matuaq_k_luv]

Iroha 4ever❤❤

[@mixxnmash]

[@marcyelles]

She looks so pretty and she's doing great. There was just that one horrible outfit that her stylist gave

[@daisyyythefairyyy]

I personally think she fits it, I find her stage presence to be really cute 😭

She's also slaying it, its just shes taller than the other members, just you wait until they do girl crush concepts HAHAHHAAH

[@LoveulyDay]

yunah cocok cocok aja kok pake konsep cute, tapi emang auranya lebih keluar di konsep girl crush

[@EM_EN07]

Its up to the stupid company its not her fault she is literally so talented in every thing

[@JessieBanana]

Is she ideal face when you think “cute”, no, but these people are performers. They don’t need to visually embody every song they make. I swear I feel like netizens have no imagination.

[@justme-qq9nx]

I love her ❤

[@anderramirez8433]

I mean, she does look good with the newest outfits bc those looks are less childish, but still I don't feel like she fits the concept, Magnetic feels like something you would give to girls with 15yo not in their 20s, and she does look like having 20 (which is why I like her), and I don't get why people gets mad when i say this bc isn't that supposed to be normal? Looking like your age isn't normal? Like people is always crying about girls debuting under age but when they're actually over 18 you expect them to look like teens and do concepts like those? Why? And why is that so normalized? Time to time It feels like everybody have some kind of pedo-something with kpop, for real...

[@angelvasayllaje1413]

I agree. Thats the first thing I noticed. She suits more in girl crush concept not this cutesy vibe.
