With this, ILLIT became the first K-POP girl group to win both the 'Rookie Award' and 'Excellence Award'. Furthermore, it is also the first time a K-POP group's original song has won the 'Excellence Award' at the Japan Record Awards. Regarding their win of the 'Special International Music Award', &TEAM commented, 'As a group that started from Japan, we are very honored to receive the 'Special International Music Award' at the Japan Record Awards. We feel we have made significant progress towards our goal of 'Japan to Global'. We want to express our gratitude to our fans, LUNÉ, who have supported us for three years and everyone who has helped us reach this award. We will strive to become a nationally loved artist in Japan and spread our wings to the world, showing everyone our proud selves.' BOYNEXTDOOR, who won the 'Rookie Award' less than a year and a half after their Japanese debut, said, 'We are truly honored to receive such a wonderful award. Since debuting in Japan last year and holding our first solo tour, we have felt the love from everyone, and we are filled with gratitude.
