ILLIT teases 'It's Me' with mud-field concept, drawing early fan reactions

ILLIT's second teaser for "It's Me" (잇츠미), titled "날 가두지 마 진흙밭," drew a wave of comments on the group's official channel, with much of the response centered on anticipation for the full release. The most-liked comment was a call for longtime fans to identify themselves, reading "Proof that we're the day-one GLLIT's," while another highly liked reaction was simply "I'm so looking forward to this~~?!?!?" (너무기대되네~~?!?!?). Several commenters expressed affection for the group in exaggerated terms, including one who wrote, "I love ILLIT as much as 3,000 pyeong... It's Me~," and others who said they wanted to see it soon.

The teaser's rural styling became the main talking point in the comments. One viewer wrote "ILLIT in farming!" with plant and rice emojis, and another commented, "Is so cute outfit, I love you." Some viewers played on the concept in Korean, with one calling the members "the nation's little sisters, the nation's nieces" and another joking that "folks from Chungcheong Province must be excited." A separate thread of comments focused on the members' appearance, with one writing, "ILLIT, you are all beautiful and are my beautiful summer fairies" and another saying, "ILLIT turned into real unnies."

Reactions in the comment section skewed toward praise and playfulness rather than debate. Multiple commenters noted the title itself, with one writing, "The title alone is unusual," and several posted variations on "It's 米~," riffing on the teaser's agricultural theme. Others marked their timing on the upload, including one who posted "2 mins ago, ILY ILLIT," and one viewer wrote that they would watch it once exams were over.
