I am very curious! What is that? What's the different between LIKE and ILIKE? When can I use it?

The key word ILIKE can be used instead of LIKE to make the match case-insensitive according to the active locale. This is not in the SQL standard but is a PostgreSQL extension.
Take a look at yourself:
