ILLIT is showing no signs of slowing down as their hit track "Magnetic" continues to make waves on the U.S. Billboard charts for an impressive six months straight!

According to the latest Billboard update released on September 10 (local time), ILLIT’s (YoonA, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) mini album title track "Magnetic" is holding strong at #55 on the 'Global (Excl. U.S.)' chart and #107 on the 'Global 200' chart.

The song has managed to stay on both charts for a remarkable 24 weeks, underscoring ILLIT’s significant digital impact.

Earlier this year, "Magnetic" made headlines as it became the first K-pop debut song to enter Billboard’s Hot 100 (April 20) and the UK's Official Singles Top 100 (April 5). ILLIT has proven their dominance as a 5th generation group by topping major global charts.

Back in South Korea, "Magnetic" is still a fan favorite. The track has been consistently ranking high on domestic charts, reaching #17 on Genie and #19 on Melon’s weekly charts for the period of September 2–8. The song has maintained its spot at the top for several months, reflecting its ongoing popularity.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
