On the 28th (local time), Billboard, a U.S. music media, focused on Irish (Yoona, Minju, Mocha, Wonhee, and Lee Ro-ha) with a website article (Why 'Magnetic' Group ILLIT Is Billboard's First-Ever K-Pop Rookie of the Month) in June 2024.
Billboard recalled that Eilit's 'Magnetic' entered the K-pop group's debut song 'Hot100' (91st/April 20th) and the mini-first album 'Super Real Me' also entered the 'Billboard 200' (93rd/May 11th).
In addition, Billboard recalls that 'Magnetic' is still at the top of the latest charts in 'Global 200' and 'Global 200 (excluding the United States) "Eilet's international competitiveness is further strengthened." he analyzed.
Billboard praised them for their "Eilett emerged as a very important group upon their debut" and added, "'They set an unprecedented record as a K-pop debut song, captivating music fans all over the world with their addictive music, sweet vocals, popular choreography, and the members' attractive personality.'
In addition, Billboard introduced the five members' goals and plans and messages to fans, noting the debut process and infinite growth potential of Irish.
In an interview with Billboard, Eilit said, `I was surprised that so many people loved 'Magnetic'. I haven't been to the US yet, but I can't wait to meet global fans. I am truly grateful that I received a lot of love from my debut song. We're working hard to come back with better music and performances, so please look forward to it," he said.
Irish debuted on March 25 with his first mini-first album 'SUPER REAL ME', which contains the reality and imagination of a teenager named 'My Real Story Is the Best Story'. The title song of this album 'Magnetic' is a song that expresses the heart of a teenage girl who runs at full speed to her favorite person.
'Magnetic' topped major domestic music charts prior to Billboard's good performance in the U.S., and rose to prominence by entering 80th place on the U.K. official chart 'Single Top 100' (April 5). Since then, the song has expanded its global popularity, reaching a new record of 100 million streams for the shortest time for a girl group single song on Japan's Oricon Chart 'Weekly Streaming Rankings'.
Eyelet will attend the '2024 TMEA 5th Tencent Music Entertainment Awards on the 19th of next month and meet Chinese fans for the first time since its debut.
