There are rumblings of a Hybe girl group curse with what happened to Lesserafim and now NewJeans. So far Illit seem to be a steady and unshakable group when it comes to drama and controversy that's not instigated by Min Hee Jin. But if I were them I would be worried about 2026 because working for Hybe as a girl group is about as stable a job as flipping burgers at McDonalds. It could all come crashing down like that one order that forgot to add cheese to the patty.
I hope not though. Illit is a great group and losing one of their members due to some fake leak that Wonhee was a Yakuza style bully in 5th grade would probably be the end of them.
Everyone please have Illit in your prayers for 2026.
