Billlie (Korean: 빌리; RR: Billi; stylized as Bi11lie or Billlǃə) is a South Korean girl group formed by Mystic Story. Billlie debuted on November 10, 2021, with the extended play (EP) The Billage of Perception: Chapter One. The group originally consisted of six members: Moon Sua, Suhyeon, Haram, Tsuki, Siyoon and Haruna. A seventh member, Sheon, later joined the group.

Name

The name Billlie is spelled with three Ls due to the fact that the name can be broken down into 'Bi' (Korean word for rain), '11', and 'lie' — Bi11lie. The number '11' came from their group's legend; "When the 11th bell rings in the middle of a purple rain, something strange happens", where the members lie about what happened in order to keep the event a secret. The name also reflects their "B-sides, the inner-self that everyone has inside them", which they express in hope to empathize with the audience.[2][3]

Career

The members of Billlie were known as Mystic Rookies — a rookie development program under Mystic Story. On September 14, Mystic Story announced plans to debut Mystic rookies in November 2021.[4] On October 11, It was revealed that the group would be called 'Billlie'.[5]
