not bad for unoriginal copies

I'm glad they received recognition!!
Magnetic did great things for...Magnetic
It didn't put ILLIT on the map. It didn't make them a household name. It didn't catapult ILLIT into being the leaders of a generation. If anything, it is the biggest burden in ILLIT's careers, since not a single song of theirs has been 25% as successful as Magnetic since their debut.
I would not point this out if not for the hardly veiled shots at NewJeans, whose 2022 debut song is still showing up on 2025 Gallup Surveys, while the group itself barely ranked behind the top active girl groups in the industry (and ILLIT wasn't on that list).
Keep NewJeans' names out your mother fucking mouths 
And that includes any subtle references.

Huh I guess the song it passed was Hype Boy, I hadn't even noticed or thought of that 
I really appreciated this
All records being broken by others ggs.........
Jokes aside, it's a good song, but it's ironic how the copy song by the copy group is their most successful song... I still prefer the og and their songs 
Hybe and bethief crying in a corner that their plan failed and still succeeded.... But that was it.

I feel this is actually dissing NewJeans body of work because magnetic sounds nothing like a NewJeans song. People keep on using lazy references when discussing Illit, but that's on Belift for not creating their own lane for them. I think if there's no biases around the topic, then it's clear magnetic is nothing close to a NewJeans song and concept. Also, Illit as a group isn't a direct copy, but it's on Belift for not doing enough to change people's minds about that. I do feel they've separated themselves from NewJeans with their latest comeback but people will always go with lazy takes about Illit.
Me too 
I've been saying this.

But illit are the current 5th gen girl group leaders. Who would it be otherwise? NCA has reached top 20 on melon meanwhile H2H focus barely managed to get into the top 50. All the other 5th gen girl group songs are kinda flop. NCA is also close to charting on billboard hot 100 which even aespa isn't capable of with all their efforts.
But illit are the current 5th gen girl group leaders.
Truly a group known for setting the K-Pop charts on fire.
I don't know why you quoted me just to prove my point for me.

It's not amazing but it's a lot better than the other 5th gen groups latest releases. Until another 5th gen gg can do better illit are the leaders.
The thing y'all need to do is stop doomposting on ILLIT acting like every single new comeback has to match and surpass the most successful one.
"One-hit wonder"
"magnetic did great things for magnetic"
And its like..okay? Thanks for pointing that out? Do you want a cookie?
If the standard were that each kpop group's comeback should match and surpass their most successful releases then why are y'all not keeping the same energy toward your faves?
Even their 5th gen peers' releases arent performing much better on the charts so why is ILLIT the target?

bethieft TRIED to copy njs, they just FAILED at it 
.
and that's the only reason people may say magnetic sounds 'nothing' like a newjeans song

yes illit are njs clones, but chopped ones

not just illit, but also babymonster. like they don't have to surpass anyone. and music is subjective saying same is thing over and over again is boring.

You're so emotional.
Their debut is their peak. As I've said for a year, they'll never reach that apex again.
And the issue is that they haven't even come remotely close to the success of Magnetic again. Even if they don't duplicate the same level of success, they should be in the same zip code, but they're not even in the same state.
I call it how I see it. Don't compare them to the most statistically dominant girl group ever, and I won't bring these things up.
the overall premise wasn't totally inaccurate but its still not pointless to correct some misinformation within the post. illit are the 5th gen gg leaders, deal with it
That's debatable. H2H likely surpass them in 2026, if they haven't already. Other girl groups, like BABYMONSTER, surpass them in other metrics. None of the members individually are particularly popular.
Nobody is calling ILLIT a legendary group or one on pace to become one.
The 5th generation girl groups haven't done anything noteworthy yet, unless you count HUNTR/X. If you want to die on that hill, I won't even fight you, because my response will be, "And?"
not just illit, but also babymonster. like they don't have to surpass anyone. and music is subjective saying same is thing over and over again is boring.
Exactly.
I've been noticing some not-so-subtle hostility toward ILLIT, especially on the subject of "NJs clones," that is not cute anymore. Some people are in this thread doomposting on them when their "worst" is unattainable by most of their 5th gen peers.

In kpop, what people call "success" and "originality" is pretty subjective to me, and the expectations placed on new groups aren’t really realistic. Most of the issues come from these two ideas anyway.

There is no "issue."
"As I've said for a year-" okay congrats 
You don't stan ILLIT. You literally do not have to care about anything that has to do with them yet here you are, always at the forefront of any ILLIT-related discussion. Please.
And isn't it so funny that you call it how you see it and thats ok, but when Mona called it how she saw the fact that you let yourself be silenced by some power-tripping fool, that wasn't okay and you were allowed to start popping veins over it. Lol what a hypocrite..

No offense, but there is nothing that people will tell me that will convince me that illit weren't njz shadows.
They were, it was intentional and it backfired heavily.
And I'm not the only one who thinks more about njz than illit when listening to Magnetic and ironically it is their most successful song by far.
btw illit are having imaginary success on botted plateforms post magnetic, while bm are touring extensively and actually making money while having the biggest 5th gen gg fandom .
and again, i stand by my (alleged) claims that hybe is sabotaging rival groups chartings.
i'm pretty sure they sabotaged meovv's comback 
.
they had a top 20/15 small hit with hands up, and their next comback they didn't even enter the top 100 with their best tt?!
Yup.
It's especially funny considering a lot of these "original" groups aren't that original to begin with. Their inspiration either comes from current trends, a trend that died 10 years ago, black culture, or western artists.
Like yes, so innovative, original, absolutely phenomenal, never seen before 
Wowww, here's an award for doing the absolute least by being a decent human being:
