ILLIT has earned international recognition for their artistic vision.

On October 10 (KST), the prestigious Ciclope Awards announced its list of winners, with ILLIT's little monster music video taking home the Silver Award in the Production Design category.

Global Recognition for Visual Artistry

The Ciclope Awards is one of the world's leading festivals honoring excellence in advertising and video production. Among approximately 1,800 entries, little monster stood out for its visual creativity and meticulous production quality, earning high praise from judges.

The music video reimagines a modern "magical girl" narrative through imaginative storytelling and atmospheric cinematography. Intricate props, handcrafted miniature sets, and layered visual design were used to build a whimsical yet emotionally resonant world.

A Message of Empowerment

Directed by Toshihiko Tanabe and Sho Yanagisawa, the video delivers a message of self-discovery and resilience — "awakening the magic within and moving forward again." The concept highlights ILLIT's unique artistic identity and emotional depth.

Meanwhile, ILLIT is set to make a comeback next month with a new album. Their upcoming fan concert has already sold out during the pre-sale phase, signaling continued global excitement around the group.
