On June 16 at 6 PM, ILLIT released their new mini album ‘BOMB’. [...]
Right after the release, many listeners were reminded of ILLIT’s previous song “Tick-Tack”. One netizen on the platform X (formerly Twitter) commented, “The song is really good, but all the ‘ddu ddu ddu, dda dda dda, ddi ddi ddi’ parts are a bit too much. It’s getting tiring.” Another listener said, “That part already took me aback me last time, and hearing it again this time was even more surprising.”
With public opinion divided over the ‘Ddu-dda-ddi’ pattern, the song’s chart performance has shown some disappointment. While it successfully entered the Melon Main Chart Top 100, as of 3 PM on June 17, it was sitting at #85, a drop from its #50 placement earlier that morning.
That said, the song itself has been praised for its musical quality. Many comments include: “The album jacket and at least one song are really well done,” and “You can tell they put effort into this.” Overall, the album is receiving positive reviews for its high production value.

However, some listeners argue that there’s a lack of artistic growth compared to their previous work, “Tick-Tack.” The song reuses many elements: the 4/4 rhythm, heavy bass, video game-like sound effects, and electronic pads, leading critics to say that despite the more elaborate arrangement, it’s not enough of an evolution. The reuse of the already divisive ‘Ddu-dda-ddi’ vocal pattern is seen by some as a risky and uninspired choice.
