[Sports Today reporter Yoon Hye-young] K-pop group ILLIT shared their impressions after staging their first solo concert.

ILLIT (Yuna, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) kicked off the first night of ILLIT LIVE PRESS START♥︎ in SEOUL (hereafter \"PRESS START\") on March 14 at Ticketlink Live Arena (formerly the Handball Gymnasium) in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

The set opened with dynamic performances of \"Magnetic\" and \"IYKYK (If You Know You Know).\"

The members then offered their opening remarks. Iroha admitted she had been so excited she couldn't sleep and said she was overjoyed to see Glit pack the venue from the very first number. Minju added that she suspected all five members felt the same way.

Yuna told the crowd she had missed them terribly and urged everyone to enjoy the night. Wonhee noted it had been a while and encouraged fans to let loose. Minju promised the group would put on a fun show and asked fans to join in. Iroha repeated that they were finally together and hoped everyone would have a great time. Moka echoed that it had been a long wait and invited the audience to really enjoy the evening.

Yuna reflected on the moment as the group's first solo concert — a long-held dream that still felt surreal. Wonhee quipped that her heartbeat was so loud it might even be audible to Glit, then leaned in with a playful, whispered \"thump thump,\" drawing laughter from the crowd.

Minju recalled the first time ILLIT and their fandom Glit met and explained that they chose the title \"Press Start\" to capture that initial spark. Wonhee added that the show's loud opening was meant to get everyone's hearts racing and asked whether they had succeeded.
