ILLIT Becomes the Fresh New Face of a Beloved Ion Drink Brand

ILLIT, the group known for its bright and pure image, has been chosen as the new face of Pocari Sweat, a popular ion drink brand synonymous with freshness and health. According to their agency, BELIFT LAB, ILLIT (comprising members Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha) has been selected as the 30th model for Dong-A Otsuka's Pocari Sweat.

Celebrating their first anniversary, ILLIT continues to garner love both domestically and internationally.
