ILLIT released the music video for “Do the Dance” of their third mini-album Bomb” on the HYBE Label’s YouTube channel at 6 p.m. on the 16th.
The music video depicts ILLIT in love going straight. It seems to be watching a cartoon when people riding bicycles see a cat suddenly appearing out and stopping before flying into the air. At the moment of falling, Wonhee falls in love at first sight with a boy. The members with short hair grow their hair as if their emotions expand as soon as love sprout.
Soon after, ILLIT sets out on a journey to find the boy together. From a small village to a huge city, they grow up one by one as they pass through the wider world clumsy but confidently. The five members accidentally find the boys on the escalator across the street, and finally Wonhee has a thrilling moment as if her first date is starting at the amusement park.
“Do the Dance” is a French house genre song with magical feelings of first love. The cheerful hook and beat that contrast with the romantic and dreamy introduction leave a strong impression. The magical and unique lyrics are powerful and unforgettable.
The so-called “cat stretching dance” and “meat dance” shown in the escalator group scene in the music video are the killing parts. The delicate and sleek choreography like cat gestures keeps your eyes peeled from start to finish. This hand gesture point choreography, which has become ILLIT’s signature, is expected to spark a challenge craze on the short platform like Tik Tok again this time.
