- An analysis shows that the 'starification' phenomenon, in which 5th-generation girl groups gain global attention right after their debut, has accelerated since the second half of 2024.
- HYBE's ILLIT entered the Billboard 'Hot 100' with its debut song 'Magnetic' in the shortest time ever, while MEOVV and SAY MY NAME have also reached the top of global charts.
