HYBE’s new girl group I'LL-IT will debut in March, the company said Tuesday.

The group will debut with members Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha, as previously announced in January, a spokesperson for Belift Lab, a subsidiary of HYBE and management company of I’LL-IT, told the Korea JoongAng Daily.

Further details about the group’s debut will be announced at a later date, the agency added.

I’LL-IT's members are the winning contestants of the audition program “R U Next,” which ran from June 30 to Sept. 1 in 2023 as a 10-episode audition program coproduced by JTBC, Belift Lab, Mushroom Company and Studio Jamm. Youngseo, who was scheduled to debut with the group, left the agency in January.

I’LL-IT will be HYBE’s third new girl group, starting off around a year and eight months after NewJeans’ debut in 2022. It is the second group to be produced under the Belift Lab label, following boy band Enhypen.
