Hashimoto Kanna and Chae Jong-hyeop lead a new project, infusing youthful vibes with an upbeat melody

ILLIT, the rising K-pop group, is making waves in Japan as their latest single snags a coveted drama OST spot.

Belift Lab announced on the 22nd that ILLIT's "I Got Your Back," the title track from their sophomore Japanese single, has been chosen as the theme song for ABEMA's original series "The Law of Vacation."

This rock-infused anthem captures the essence of unwavering friendship amidst life's pressures. ILLIT's heartfelt lyrics remind listeners they're not alone in their struggles. A sneak peek of the drama, released on the 21st, showcased the song's infectious energy, perfectly complementing the show's fresh vibe.

Set to premiere on the 27th, "The Law of Vacation" follows Hoshino Midori (Hashimoto Kanna) as she falls for villa caretaker Nishigami (Chae Jong-hyeop) during a transformative getaway. The star power of Hashimoto and Chae, combined with ILLIT's Gen Z appeal, promises to be a winning formula.

ILLIT is no stranger to success in Japan. Their 2023 movie theme song "Almond Chocolate" dominated charts and earned them an Excellence Award at the prestigious 67th Japan Record Awards.{vi17}}

The group's live shows are equally in demand. Their "ILLIT LIVE PRESS START♥︎ in JAPAN" tour across five cities sold out instantly. The grand finale hits Tokyo's Toyota Arena on the 23rd and 25th-26th. Fans can look forward to the full album release on the 26th (digital) and 29th (physical).

Since their 2024 debut, ILLIT has been on fire with hits like "Magnetic" and "It's Me."
