Did newbie K-pop group ICHILLIN copy DIA’s handsign?

The rookie female group ICHILLIN in the K-pop town has been gradually gaining more and more stardom. As they continue to promote, fans noticed that the group’s handsign appeared to be similar to that of the female group DIA until they came across the following image.

Were the artists truly replicating their sunbaes? A cursory investigation as per Koreaboo reveals that the group had staged the photo shoot to promote their upcoming guest appearance on RAP:PUBLIC.

The girls adopted this position because the show’s logo is a diamond.

The “hang loose” sign that ICHILLIN uses as their signature truly denotes their namesake’s state of relaxation.

Moreover, DIA has not operated collectively since 2022. Hence, the eagle-eyed netizens might have made a wrong guess this time.  appears that internet users were incorrect this time!
