LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT have made history on the UK charts, breaking into the Official Singles Chart top 25 for the first time—and they did it together on KATSEYE's "ICONIC BY MISTAKE."

The collaboration marks a significant moment for both groups' international presence, particularly in the UK market where K-pop has been steadily gaining ground. For LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, charting in the top 25 of the Official Singles Chart represents their first time achieving this milestone in one of the world's most competitive music markets.

The track comes as part of KATSEYE's upcoming album WILD, scheduled for August 14 release. The group had announced pre-orders earlier in the month alongside teaser imagery. The inclusion of LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT on "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" appears to be a strategic move, pairing three groups under the HYBE umbrella to create cross-fandom appeal.

This collaboration highlights how K-pop groups continue to expand their reach beyond traditional Asian markets. UK chart performance has become increasingly important for gauging global success, and breaking the top 25 on the Official Singles Chart shows the track resonated with British listeners—whether they were existing K-pop fans or new listeners discovering the groups through this release.

The chart success also comes at a time when K-pop acts are becoming more visible on Western charts overall. Groups and soloists from South Korea have been climbing UK rankings more frequently in recent years, but having two established groups appear on the same single to crack the top 25 remains noteworthy.

With WILD arriving in August, KATSEYE will be looking to build on the momentum this collaboration has generated. For LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, the UK chart entry adds another line to their growing list of international achievements and demonstrates their ability to drive streams and sales in markets outside their home country.
