B.I.G finally made its most awaited comeback two years since releasing the group's last album. B.I.G, also known as Boys in Groove, dropped the new MV for the song, Illusion.
According to a report by All Kpop, B.I.G released the Illusion MV on YouTube on Nov. 4. The MV was met with many positive reactions from long-time fans of the idol group because their last digital release was Remember, back in 2017.
Fans celebrated B.I.G's new song and posted their good wishes in different languages in the comment section. Among the those who expressed excitement were fans in the Middle East after Sony Music Korea announced that B.I.G also recorded an Arabic version of the song. This will be released ahead of their Abu Dhabi concert on Thursday.
According to the explanation of the song's concept, Illusion was about meeting a former flame and finding oneself still harboring feelings for the person. The members depicted their dilemma and pain of the unexpected reunion and compared the frustration to a mirage in the loveless desert of one's heart.

B.I.G is, currently, promoting as a five-member group in the absence of leader J-Hoon, who quietly enlisted in the military in November 2018. However, even though the group is not perfoming as a complete set, Arab fans are more than ready to welcome back B.I.G after their long break.
