Group ILLIT has achieved the feat of recording over 900 million streams on Spotify in the shortest time among K-pop group debut songs.

As of the 18th, 'Magnetic,' the title track of their debut mini album 'SUPER REAL ME,' has surpassed 900,351,494 cumulative plays on Spotify. The song is a dance track combining pluggnb and house, characterized by lyrics comparing attraction to a magnet and choreography using finger gestures. Since its release, it sparked a global challenge craze and gained popularity.

ILLIT debuted with this song in March 2024, entering the U.S. Billboard 'Hot 100' and the UK Official 'Singles Top 100' simultaneously with their debut, and also ranked first on major domestic music charts. Over the following 2 years and 7 months, the song steadily maintained high positions on domestic and international charts, establishing itself as a steady seller.

Certifications from foreign recording industry associations have followed. 'Magnetic' received Silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on the 2nd. The BPI awards Silver (200,000+), Gold (400,000+), Platinum (600,000+), and Multi-Platinum (1,200,000+) certifications based on digital download and streaming performance. In addition, the Recording Industry Association of Japan granted the song Triple Platinum certification in the streaming category in August after it surpassed 300 million cumulative plays, the fastest record among songs by foreign female artists.

Meanwhile, ILLIT will release their fifth mini album 'BREAK EVEN' on the 26th. The title track 'Do You Want to Be Arrested' is an electro-pop genre song featuring a cheerful whistle sound, strong addictiveness, and an exciting beat. The song's stage was first revealed at the encore tour 'ILLIT LIVE PRESS START♥ ENCORE in KOREA' held at Inspire Arena in Incheon on the 17th and 18th, receiving an enthusiastic response from fans with its whistle-themed performance.
