In addition, it debuted on prestigious music charts like the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK's Official Singles Top 100. In addition, the EP also soared high on Billboard 200. All of these are firsts for a debut track and album for a K-pop group, further solidifying ILLIT’s position in the global music scene.
Their first EP also features three B-sides: Midnight Fiction, Lucky Girl Syndrome, and My World, all of which earned exceptional praise from fans. On April 1, 2024, ILLIT unveiled a sped-up version of SUPER REAL ME, followed by a Magnetic Remix SIngles release on April 19.
