ILLIT set the internet buzzing with a tongue-in-cheek twist: a viral "Anti-20" party for member Wonhee, turning her milestone birthday into a laugh-out-loud skit.
On March 16, ILLIT's YouTube channel dropped a self-produced video celebrating Wonhee turning 20. What started as a sweet congratulatory moment quickly flipped when the members declared, "We’re against you becoming an adult," transforming the vibe. Under a banner filled with protest slogans instead of congratulations, the gathering morphed into a full-on "Anti-20 Party" that had fans cracking up.
Hoping Wonhee would keep her adorable 'maknae-line' image, the members even presented a playful "Age 20 Contract" with conditions like "Keep those chubby cheeks," "Never lose your curiosity," and "Keep being mischievous—just like now." Wonhee was stunned but burst into laughter, then bickered with the older members about late-night movie outings, keeping the energy light and funny.
Even the production staff joined the prank, sporting "Anti-20" T-shirts and swiping the cake candles. The members launched a mock chase to get them back, turning the set into pure chaos and laughter. Once they recovered the candles and lit the cake, the party finally wrapped with a genuine celebration that highlighted Wonhee’s lovable charm.
Meanwhile, ILLIT are set to return this April with their new release 'MAMIHLAPINATAPAI'.
