Ichillin' (Korean: 아이칠린; stylized as ICHILLIN') is a seven-member South Korean girl group formed by KM Entertainment in 2021. The group is currently composed of seven members: Jiyoon, E.Ji, Jackie, Joonie, Chaerin, Yeju and Chowon.[1] Former member Sohee had left the group on July 15, 2022,[2] while Jiyoon joined the group on October 25 the same year.[3]

The group made their debut on September 8, 2021, with the digital single "Got'Ya".[4]

Name

Ichillin' is a compound of the words Aisling, which has the meaning of dream and vision, and Chillin, which has the meaning of relaxing or coolness. This is made in hopes of encouraging the listeners of their music to dream and relax.[5]

The fans of Ichillin' are named "Willing", which was announced on December 10, 2021 after a poll between 7 candidates that each of the members have picked. It has the meaning of ardent fans who enthusiastically like the group.[6]

History

2021: Debut with Got'Ya and comeback with Fresh

Ichillin' was to debut on August 25, 2021, but it was delayed in order to show more completeness in the group through improvements on the album.[7] The group subsequently made their debut with their first digital single "Got'Ya" on September 8, 2021, two weeks after the supposed debut date.[4]

The group then had their first comeback on November 11 the same year with their second digital single "Fresh".[8]

2022: Bridge of Dreams, changes to the group and Draw (My Time)

Ichillin' released their first extended play (EP) Bridge of Dreams on April 27, 2022, with "Play Hide & Seek" serving as the EP's lead single.[9] The EP also featured the two digital singles, "Got'Ya" and "Fresh", which were released in the previous year. The group then followed up promotions for "Play Hide & Seek" with one of the EP's tracks "La Luna", beginning June 11 the same year.[10]

On July 15, KM Entertainment announced that Sohee would be leaving the group, after discussions between the two parties.[2] On October 25, it was announced that Jeong Ji-yoon, who had taken part in Girls Planet 999, would join the group.[3]

The group was set to release their third digital single "Draw (My Time)" on November 3,[11] however it was postponed to November 10, in light of the Seoul Halloween crowd crush.[12][13]

2023: Challenger and I'm On It!

Ichillin' released their fourth digital single Challenger on March 23, 2023, with "Alarm" serving as the lead single.[14] The group subsequently released the other track in Challenger, titled "Siren", on May 11. The track was previously inaccessible despite being released alongside "Alarm".[15]

The group released their second EP I'm On It! on July 19, with "Kick-Start" serving as the EP's lead single. The EP also featured the previous digital releases: "Draw", "Alarm" and "Siren".[16][17]
