ILLIT’s Magnetic is k-pop song
Magnetic is ..
Rookie girl group ILLIT has made its mark on the Billboard main chart ‘Hot 100’ with their debut song ‘Magnetic’, drawing increased attention to their growth. According to a recent chart preview article by Billboard, the global representative pop music chart, ILLIT’s debut song ‘Magnetic’ entered ‘Hot 100’, one of Billboard’s two main charts, at No. 91. This is the first case of a debut song entering the Billboard Hot 100, making ILLIT the title of the K-pop group that made it onto the chart in the shortest time after debut.
The success of ILLIT is a result of their unique charm and hard work. The ILLIT craze, which has spread rapidly from South Korea, known as the K-pop powerhouse, to global, was somewhat predicted by the so-called ‘Attraction Challenge’ now commonly seen on various SNS. The key dance move accompanied by the lyrics “Super Attraction” in the chorus of ‘Magnetic’ became a buzzword, and the dance move using ten fingers has become the most famous meme since the ‘Finger Snap’ originated from the movie ‘Avengers’.
Such achievements were made through the capabilities of Bang Si-hyuk, the Chairman and Executive Producer of HYBE, who is the main character behind the birth of ILLIT. Chairman Bang Si-hyuk has led from the front, putting his name on the line as the ‘Executive Producer’ from the TV audition program that was the catalyst for the formation of ILLIT to this debut album.
Chairman Bang Si-hyuk of HYBE has written 23 ‘Billboard Hot 100’ hit songs through BTS, an immovable K-pop icon, and has also spilled out various records through girl group Leseraphim, which he was in charge of overall production before ILLIT.
They launched the activities of the follow-up song ‘Lucky Girl Syndrome’ early, powered by the mega-hit of ‘Magnetic’. ‘Lucky Girl Syndrome’ also features addictive choreography and melody in the style of ‘Magnetic’, and in relation to the current moves of ILLIT, which have virtually become a ‘double title song’, K-pop fans are praising the ‘Deja vu’ of Newjins-Leseraphim, the sister groups within HYBE that debuted side by side in 2022 and garnered sensational popularity. In this way, ILLIT is leading the new generation of K-pop through continuous growth.
