This summary was written by AI to complete the context; it is not based on a current source.
In April 2024, 'Magnetic', the debut single by the five-member girl group ILLIT, entered the Billboard Hot 100, the main US singles chart. The group had debuted only a few weeks earlier, on 25 March 2024, with the mini album 'Super Real Me'.
ILLIT, made up of Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha, was formed under Belift Lab, a label co-owned by the entertainment company HYBE and CJ ENM. The members were chosen through the survival TV show 'R U Next?'. 'Magnetic' became the group's breakout song, driven by streaming and online video clips.
The Hot 100 entry made ILLIT one of the quickest K-pop acts to reach the chart after debut. It also showed how far K-pop's audience in the United States had grown, as newer groups could now chart within weeks rather than years.
The result set the stage for the group's later releases and for their push into the Billboard 200 albums chart, where their later work went on to reach the top 10.
