[Official Interview] ”Thank you for waiting” ICHILLIN will hold a live event in Tokyo to mark the 4th anniversary of their debut! Members talk about their bond with their fans Thoughts

Korean girl group "ICHILLIN" will hold a live event "2025 ICHILLIN" at FC LIVE TOKYO HALL in Tokyo in November.
It has been decided that the group will hold a special live event called "WILD CHERRY" in Japan. The group name is a combination of the words "AISLING" and "rest," which means "dream, vision."
It is a coined word that combines "CHILLIN" which has various meanings such as "breath" and "taste." The group hopes that viewers will listen to "ICHILLIN'"'s music and have dreams and "CHILLIN'" themselves.
It also means that the "I's" who were in different places came together and became "ICHILLIN" (seven people, "7 people" in Korean).
"ICILLIN'" debuted on September 8, 2021 with their first single "GOT'YA." The song conveys a strong message of actively creating your own path without caring about what others think.
He has received a lot of support and sympathy for his message. In September 2023, he won the Star Award in the singer/entertainer category at the 2023 Cable TV Awards in Korea.
, the group's efforts and presence on music shows and stages were recognized, and they received their first trophy.
They released "XL (Extra Cherry)" and made a comeback as "Summer Fairies".
"Extra Love" is a groovy rhythm and a sweet, addictive feeling of love.
It is an R&B dance pop song with lyrics that compare it to "love," and it expresses the depth and excitement of emotions that you can't escape once you get hooked.
Other songs include "Appetizer," which expresses the excitement of falling in love through flavor, and "I can definitely feel it inside me."
"Glass Heart" contains a strong message of believing in the power of transparency and moving forward endlessly, and the title track "XL" Remix Love
The album includes four songs packed with ICHILLIN's vibrant vocals and charm, including a drive version. We spoke to the girls about their thoughts on their upcoming Japan tour and their recent activities.
Q. It's been a while since you last performed in Japan, but could you honestly share your thoughts when the event was announced?
E.JI: It's been about two years since our last performance in Japan, so I'm very excited and happy.
It was really unfortunate that all I could say to my fans was "Please wait a little longer," but I hope that this opportunity will help me create many unforgettable memories and help me grow.
Q. This September marks the 4th anniversary of your debut. Looking back over the past 4 years, what was the most memorable moment?
If you had to pick one iconic event or moment, which one comes to mind? JACKIE: There are so many that it's hard to choose, but when we toured the US,
I feel like "CHILLIN'" has grown so much, and I remember that time! YEJU: The concert we held in the winter of 2022 was the most memorable.
It was a moment when we were able to get closer to our fans through this, and I think it was an opportunity for us to show a lot of our charms.
Q. You've all spent a lot of time together, so I imagine you know each other's good points.
If you had to praise one member, what would you say? Please tell us any stories. CHAERIN → JIYOON:
I'm learning a lot from watching Jiyoon's diligent and consistent exercise routine! CHOWON → YEJU:
Thanks to your overflowing energy, I feel excited and happy! I want to emulate that energy. E.JI
→ CHAERIN: I often feel that CHAERIN's attitude and way of thinking when interacting with others is very mature and wonderful. She is also very considerate and understanding.
Although he is a lower-ranking child, I have a lot to learn from him. I don't do it intentionally, but when I behave in a considerate way towards others, only the most sensitive people notice and say "thank you."
I think it's something that I can do, but I'm always surprised when CHAERIN does it. JIYOON → JACKIE:
He loves the stage, and it's really cool to see him leading the stage so that the audience can have fun together.
JACKIE → JIYOON: She's diligent and has the power to spread the virus of happiness. That's why I find myself smiling too. YEJU →
JOONIE: Even though she's joking around, she's always concerned about the members next to her and taking good care of them, which makes me think she's really caring.
JOONIE → JACKIE: JACKIE is the member who always makes sure we have a good time when we're busy with our schedules.
Thanks to this, I always have a happy schedule and laugh a lot.
Q. What are you looking forward to during your stay in Japan? What food do you want to eat? Where do you want to go?
CHAERIN: Okonomiyaki and visiting Japanese convenience stores! Also, what would be great is meeting more Japanese WILLINGs?
I'm more excited than ever! (laughs) CHOWON: I want to capture the scenery of Japan with my own camera. I want to take pictures of the beautiful sky, cityscapes, and nature.
Q. What are some of the highlights or things you would like fans to enjoy most at this live event?
JIYOON: I hope you can feel the diverse charms of ICHILLIN through our various songs!
Q. Finally, please give a message to your fans who always support you. JOONIE: To all the WILLING members who always support us!!
