Youngseo is sparking debate after re-debuting in co-ed group ALLDAY following her exit from HYBE’s ILLIT.
Youngseo left ILLIT and terminated her contract with BELIFT LAB in January 2024. ILLIT debuted without her in March 2024, scoring a hit with “Magnetic.”
ILLIT and ALLDAY have completely different vibes. ILLIT is bright and fairy-like, while ALLDAY rocks a dark, grungy sound with their debut track “Famous.”
Netizens online overwhelmingly agree Youngseo fits ALLDAY’s style better. Comments blew up praising her presence and voice as a perfect match for ALLDAY’s concept.
“As soon as Youngseo’s voice came out, the song came to life.”
“She suits the group fcking well. She kind of balances out the gyopo vibe of the group, and I like it so much. Better than ILLIT.*”
“Fcking pretty.*”
“I agree. Since she performed ‘Shut Down’ on R U Next? I felt like she was better suited for a hip concept way more than those frilly lace outfits. Her pair choreography with Jo Woochan is amazing.”
“It was the best decision for Youngseo to leave ILLIT. If she had stayed, she would be doing stuff like ‘Umchit-doong-nyang’ or ‘Tick-tick-tack-tack.’ I think I would’ve had a mental breakdown.”
Youngseo recently opened up about her painful experience leaving HYBE, shedding light on her difficult past at the agency.
