ILLIT (์์ผ๋ฆฟ) has achieved a major artistic milestone, winning two awards at Japan’s most prestigious creative competition, the 2025 ACC Tokyo Creativity Awards. Their brand films for the group’s mini albums “I’LL LIKE YOU” and “bomb” received the Gold and Bronze prizes respectively in the Film Craft category.
๐ Gold for “I’LL LIKE YOU,” Bronze for “bomb”
According to Belift Lab under HYBE, ILLIT’s second mini album “I’LL LIKE YOU” brand film earned the Gold Prize for its cinematic expression of fantasy and reality and the message, “We will continue moving forward on our own path.” The film’s visually rich storytelling and emotional sincerity resonated strongly with fans worldwide.
The Bronze-winning brand film for “bomb” reimagined the magical girl concept through ILLIT’s unique perspective, blending intricate miniature sets and detailed art direction. It also doubles as the music video for “little monster,” delivering a heartfelt message: “Awaken the magic of your inner potential and move forward.”
๐ฌ The ACC Tokyo Creativity Awards: Japan’s Cannes Lions
Celebrating its 65th edition this year, the ACC Tokyo Creativity Awards is widely regarded as “Japan’s Cannes Lions”. The awards recognize excellence in advertising, design, media, and creative innovation, honoring works that redefine the boundaries of modern visual storytelling. Winning in this field marks an extraordinary achievement not just for a music act, but for K-pop’s evolving artistic identity.
๐ The Artistry Behind ILLIT’s Brand Films
ILLIT’s brand films have become an integral part of the group’s visual and narrative identity — each project expanding their artistry beyond traditional music promotion. With each release, the group uses cinematic storytelling to express their growth and message, blurring the line between K-pop performance and contemporary art film.
The international acclaim continued when ILLIT’s “bomb” video also received the Silver Award in Music Video Production Design at Germany’s 2025 Ciclope Awards, further cementing their position as one of K-pop’s most creative forces.
๐ Global Recognition and Upcoming Comeback
With these back-to-back honors, ILLIT proves that their creative vision transcends music charts and extends into the global art scene. The group will make their comeback in November 2025 with a new album, following their successful “GLITTER DAY” fan concerts in Korea and Japan. Their upcoming encore concerts, “2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY ENCORE,” will be held on November 8–9 at the Olympic Hall in Seoul — both already sold out.
ILLIT’s artistic achievements and commercial success continue to reinforce their status as one of the most innovative and visionary acts in modern K-pop.
