Seoul, South Korea – February 27, 2025 – ILLIT, the rising South Korean girl group, has achieved a significant milestone with their debut song Magnetic, earning double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) in the streaming category. This announcement was made today by their agency, BELIFT LAB.
Magnetic, the title track from ILLIT’s first mini-album released in March of last year, has captivated listeners and achieved remarkable success in the Japanese market. As of January, the song has surpassed 200 million cumulative streams in Japan, solidifying ILLIT’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
