ILLIT was formed by a sub-label of Hyde Corporation, named BELIFT

formed by BELIFT Lab through a Korean JTBC reality survival competition show, “R U Next?”, a
show that was aimed to create the agency’s next girl group. The meaning behind the group
name is from the phrase “I Will Be It.” The five group members of ILLIT are Moka, Wonhee,
Iroha, Yunah, and Minju.

“Magnetic” was No. 1 on Billboard’s South Korean songs, Singapore songs, Taiwan songs, and
Hong Kong song charts. When their debut single was released internationally, it ranked No.3 on
Billboard Global Excl. US. chart only a week after the debut single reached No. 2 and raised to
8-6 on the Billboard Global 200.

On ILLIT’s debut four-track EP, “Super Real Me”, which released on March 25, “Magnetic” was the main single.
It does stand at No.6 on the World Albums chart after it

month.

According to Luminate, in the April 20-dated Hot 100, the act’s “Magnetic” debut was No. 91
