Girl group ILLIT will hold encore concerts for its first tour, "Press Start♥︎," in Korea and Japan, its agency Belift Lab said Monday.

The encore run kicks off Oct. 17 and 18 at Incheon's Inspire Arena, followed by four shows at LaLa Arena Tokyo-Bay in Chiba, Japan, on Dec. 23, 24, 26 and 27.

All 15 shows of the original "Press Start♥︎" tour — across Seoul, five Japanese cities and Hong Kong — sold out, with the Hong Kong stop extended from one night to two after demand for extra seats.


The tour's Tokyo finale on Sunday featured a joint stage with Jisoo and Momoka of Japanese girl group HANA, performing "I Got Your Back." ILLIT released the song as its second Japanese single that same day, and the title track hit No. 1 on the AWA Music Charts shortly after release.

ILLIT will next perform at Mezamashi Wangan Festival and LuckyFes'26 next month.
