Billlie: South Korean Girl Group by Mystic Story

Billlie (Korean: 빌리; RR: Billi; stylized as Bi11lie or Billlǃə) is a South Korean girl group formed by Mystic Story. The group debuted on November 10, 2021, with the extended play (EP) The Billage of Perception: Chapter One. The group originally consisted of six members: Moon Sua, Suhyeon, Haram, Tsuki, Siyoon, and Haruna. A seventh member, Sheon, later joined the group.

Group Name

The name Billlie is spelled with three Ls due to the fact that the name can be broken down into 'Bi' (Korean word for rain), '11', and 'lie' — Bi11lie. The number '11' came from their group's legend; "When the 11th bell rings in the middle of a purple rain, something strange happens", where the members lie about what happened in order to keep the event a secret. The name also reflects their "B-sides, the inner-self that everyone has inside them", which they express in hope to empathize with the audience.

The members of Billlie were known as Mystic Rookies — a rookie development program under Mystic Story. Prior to debut, Moon Sua was a YG Entertainment trainee for 10 years. Suhyeon participated in the Mnet survival program Produce 101 and JTBC survival program Mix Nine and starred in the web drama A-Teen in 2018, and its 2019 sequel A-Teen 2. Haram and Tsuki are former SM Entertainment trainees. Additionally, Tsuki worked as a model for the magazine Popteen and released the single "Magic" with the modeling group MAGICOUR in 2020. Sheon participated in the Mnet survival program Girls Planet 999, and Siyoon participated in the talent show K-pop Star 5 and also worked as a model for the magazine Popteen.
