On the 11th, Japan YouTube announced its annual ranking, where ILLIT's debut song "Magnetic" ranked 5th in the "Top Shorts Songs" category (tracking period: January 1 to October 31, 2024).

In this category, which ranks songs based on the number of YouTube Shorts videos uploaded in Japan using each song, "Magnetic" is the only K-pop song to enter the top 10.

Additionally, "Magnetic" placed 3rd in Amazon Music Japan's "Best of 2024 K-POP," a ranking selected by Amazon Music curators based on views and other criteria among songs released from January 1 to September 22 this year.

"Magnetic" also took 1st place in the "USEN Music Awards 2024" under the "USEN HIT K-POP" category (tracking period: November 24, 2023 to November 21, 2024) by USEN, Japan's largest wired broadcasting company. This ranking is based on the songs most played over the year in restaurants, retail stores, commercial, and public facilities located in Japan.

Moreover, "Magnetic" has demonstrated its global popularity through year-end charts in English-speaking countries, including Billboard's "Top 25 K-pop Songs of 2024: Staff Picks," NPR and UK's NME's "Best Songs of 2024," and PopMatters' "Best K-pop of 2024."

ILLIT is scheduled to actively engage in year-end activities both domestically and internationally, appearing at the "2024 Music Bank Global Festival in Japan" on the 15th, followed by Japan's "CDTV Live! Live! Christmas Special" on the 16th, SBS's "Gayo Daejeon" on the 25th, Japan TV Asahi's "Music Station" on the 27th, and the "Kohaku Uta Gassen" on the 31st.
