The "super rookie" ILLIT has achieved another great feat. They ranked on the Billboard "Hot 100" within a month of their debut, and now they have achieved the remarkable feat of ranking on the "Billboard 200" as well. According to the latest Billboard chart announced on May 7 (local time) (dated May 11), ILLIT's 1st mini album "SUPER REAL ME" debuted at 93rd place on the main album chart "Billboard 200." With this, ILLIT has set a record of having both their debut album and debut song rank on Billboard's two main charts. Prior to this, the title track "Magnetic" from "SUPER REAL ME" ranked 91st on the Billboard "Hot 100" (dated April 20), setting a new record as the fastest K-POP artist to rank on this chart. Despite not having any special promotions or activities in the US, ILLIT has garnered special attention. "Magnetic" is a song that compares feelings for a loved one to a magnet. The unique charm of ILLIT and the lively melody harmonize, gaining popularity among teenagers worldwide. The choreography expressing the moments when the N pole and S pole of a magnet come together or separate has sparked a viral trend with the "Magnetic Dance" short form challenge. In May, they will hold offline events for their debut album in Japan, and will also perform at Japan's largest fashion and music event, "Rakuten GirlsAward 2024 SPRING/SUMMER," marking the start of their activities in Japan. They plan to actively expand their activities in Japan through appearances at "KCON JAPAN 2024" and Japan TV's "with MUSIC." They will also perform at the "2024 Weverse Con Festival" on June 15-16, and have received love calls from various universities for their school festival, continuing to make their presence felt globally.
