ILLIT "clone" surpasses "original" NewJeans, BLACKPINK is also just a name

Referring to ILLIT, since the time of debut, HYBE rookies have been promoted in terms of communication and image promotion. However, the group also faced a series of unnecessary dramas. Despite all that, ILLIT still succeeded in surpassing many of its seniors.

A prominent problem of ILLIT is vocal defects. The majority of the audience commented that ILLIT's singing ability was unstable. Many people suggested that the management company should take measures to improve and improve the skills of members. Despite the criticism, ILLIT continues to establish many new achievements and has the potential to grow in the future.

Chart Masters, a Spotify chart analysis site, announced that ILLIT has achieved the highest monthly listeners among K-pop girl groups, with 17,719,779 monthly listeners on Spotify.

BLACKPINK ranked 2nd with 17,657,601 listeners. Meanwhile, NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM ranked 3rd and 4th with 16,564,838 and 15,694,191 listeners, respectively. (G) I-DLE ranked 5th with 11,854,058 listens.

In the overall K-pop category, BLACKPINK's Jennie topped the list with 34,823,087 listeners, while BTS and Jungkook ranked 2nd and 3rd with 27,778,584 and 25,347,632 listeners, respectively. ILLIT secured 4th place in the overall category.

ILLIT attracted attention for being the first K-pop girl group to enter Billboard's Main Chart with their debut song and sweeping the major music charts in the country.

ILLIT has become the subject of an ongoing dispute between ADOR and HYBE, as they allegedly copied NewJeans. Until recently, the group was once again involved in plagiarism.

Accordingly, the clip comparing 2 songs "Lucky Girl Syference" and "Favorite Liar" was widely shared on social media. Accordingly, a controversy broke out between ILLIT fans and the music-loving community, regarding the similarities between the 2 songs.

On the online forum Theqoo (Korea), many comments said that the song from ILLIT's debut album "Super Real Me" has a similar music to "Favorite Liar" - a product of pop rock band The Wrecks (USA) released in 2016.

Since then, many people have expressed skepticism about the HYBE group copying and plagiarizing music. However, a section of the public opinion said that both bands used the same sample, so ILLIT could not be accused of plagiarism.

Currently, although the series is "surrounding", ILLIT still successfully enters the top hottest Kpop singers.
