Recently, ILLIT released a new concept movie for BREAK EVEN.
Yet, it has sparked major backlash as netizens accused the group of promoting gun violence, and with two of the members dressed in school uniforms, they hit back at the concept during a time when shootings at schools in the US are a debated topic. Some also brought up that Giselle was hit with criticism for her posts, but ILLIT has used it as a concept and deserves an equal amount of criticism.
