I genuinely think ILLIT are the best group of the 5th generation. And no, it's not just because I like them, it’s because they’ve already achieved things that most groups dream of. From their debut, they’ve broken records left and right. Magnetic made them the first female K-pop group to enter the Billboard Hot 100 with a debut song, charting at #91. It also reached #6 on the Billboard Global 200 and #2 on the Global Excl. U.S. charts. Their first EP, Super Real Me, landed at #93 on the Billboard 200. Since then, they’ve collected over 15 major awards, including Rookie of the Year titles from shows like MAMA, Golden Disc, Melon Music Awards, Japan Record Awards, and even iHeartRadio. No other 5th gen group has matched that momentum. Magnetic achieved 73 Perfect All-Kills on Korean charts. They’re the only group of their generation to ever do that. And while doing all this musically, they’ve also taken over the fashion and brand world. They've been chosen by Acne Studios (even before debut), Bioderma, La Roche-Posay, Pocari Sweat, Crocs, Lacoste Japan, Candy Magic, KT Y, and even M&M’s Asia who named them their first-ever K-pop ambassadors. In one year, ILLIT went from being trainees to global brand faces, chart-breaking artists, and record-setting rookies. No scandals, just jealousy from others because of how far they’ve come. And they also have the most respectful and most polite fandom I've ever seen, also the male fans, like me. submitted by /u/Jaded-Ad-7658 [link] [comments]
