Girl group ILLIT has secured their first music show win since their comeback with the new song ‘Check Me Out’.
Taking home the number one trophy on the KBS2 music program ‘Music Bank’ with the title track of their 5th mini-album ‘BREAK EVEN’, ILLIT shared their overwhelming gratitude, saying, “We sincerely thank our agency family and staff who always work hard by our side. We also want to express our thanks to Moka, who was a great source of strength while we prepared this album.” They added, “Above all, we think we were able to achieve this precious first place thanks to GLLIT (their fandom name). We will continue to work hard to capture GLLIT’s hearts.”
During their performance that day, the members heightened the excitement with relaxed live vocals and rhythmically captivating, energetic choreography. In particular, their unique styling, transforming into various whistle-related characters such as lifeguards, cheerleaders, and sports referees, doubled the visual entertainment.

Following a 5-day consecutive run at No. 1 on Apple Musicβs ‘Todayβs Top 100: South Korea’ (as of November 5), the track has landed high on major domestic charts including Melon, Bugs, and Genie. It continues to maintain steady rankings on Spotifyβs ‘Daily Top Songs Global’ and has entered the US Billboard charts (dated November 7) for ‘Global 200’ and ‘Global Excl.

Momentum on short-form platforms is equally fierce. As of November 6, related videos on TikTok surpassed 400,000 creations, ranking No. 1 on TikTok’s ‘Top 50’ and No. 3 on ‘Viral 50’. They have also proven their strong popularity by ranking on YouTube’s ‘Daily Shorts Popular Songs’ across multiple countries and regions, including South Korea, the United States, and Japan.
