1. ILLIT Iroha's Family Structure

Iroha is originally from Tokyo, Japan, and is part of a family of three. She has no siblings and grew up as an only child. HYBE's official videos clearly state that she is an only child, and this is well known among fans. From a young age, Iroha received all the love of her parents and grew up in a carefree environment. The understanding and support of her mother and father in particular helped to build the foundation for her career as an artist.

"My parents have been supporting me through messages and phone calls since I was little."
— Iroha (from an interview)

2. Relationship with his father and sports anecdotes

Iroha's father is an ordinary citizen, but he is said to be a generous man with a very flexible educational philosophy, sending his 11-year-old daughter to Korea to support her as a trainee. Iroha's earliest memory is going to an aquarium and ski resort with her father when she was five years old. The time they spent together skiing in the winter is also connected to her answer that her favorite season is winter. She also began learning to swim at the age of four, likely influenced by her father's swimming ability.

From stories of her enjoying skiing and swimming with her father, we can see the image of an active and athletic father. His supportive attitude towards his daughter's challenges also seems to be connected to the "positive energy" that lies beneath her.

3. Her mother's influence led her to start dancing

Iroha's mother was the reason she started dancing. Her mother was a fan of talented Japanese artists, and she was from the generation that was crazy about popular 90s artists such as Namie Amuro and TRF. Her mother wanted her daughter to be able to dance as well, so she enrolled her in a dance school when she was three years old. This is where Iroha's dance career began, and while learning the basics of hip-hop, she naturally honed her expressive abilities. Her mother's sensitivity and love of music were the driving force behind the birth of the talented dancer who is currently representing ILLIT.

4. The birthdays celebrated by his parents and the meaning of his name

Iroha says that "every year's birthday" is "the happiest moment of my life." She says that she was particularly impressed by the surprise gift her parents gave her of tickets to Disneyland on her ninth birthday. The memories of that day spent with her family remain a precious treasure to her even today.

Her name, "Iroha," also expresses her parents' wish that she "fly around the world on beautiful wings." As her name suggests, she has grown into an idol active on the world stage, and it is clear that she is making her parents' dreams come true.

5. Parents' home and living environment

Iroha moved to Korea at the age of 11 and began life as a trainee. After gaining a foundation at JYP Entertainment, she transferred to BELIFT LAB, a subsidiary of HYBE, and debuted as ILLIT. There are rumors among fans that she comes from a wealthy family, but major Korean agencies have a system in place where they cover lesson fees and dormitory costs, allowing girls to pursue their dreams regardless of their family's financial situation. Rather, it appears that Iroha's parents are a family with an understanding educational philosophy that fully supports their daughter's dreams.

6. A childhood cat and a healing story

Iroha is known to be an animal lover, especially cats. When she was a child, her parents had a grey cat called an "American Curl" at home, which she says she found adorable because its ears curled outward. She says they were so close that "we ate meals together and slept together," and spending time with cats was an important source of healing for her. Even now, her connection with animals soothes her heart, as she watches videos of baby animals and sends photos to her parents when she finds one that resembles her parents' cat.
