“Iconic By Mistake,” the catchy collaboration between girl groups Katseye, Le Sserafim and Illit, has debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The linkup, which includes girl groups from different Hybe sub-labels, landed at No. 38, a higher peak than most K-pop entries, which, save for a few groups, have historically had a harder time breaking onto the chart, likely due to lack of radio play in the U.S. The song also charted on several other Billboard charts including the Global 200 (No. 25) and the Global Excluding U.S. chart (No. 22). In the United Kingdom, it debuted at No. 22 on the UK singles chart.

While “Iconic By Mistake” marks the first time the groups have charted together, each girl group has landed on the Billboard Hot 100 individually. This marks Katseye’s fifth, Le Sserafim’s fourth and Illit’s second entry on the Hot 100.

Katseye, a six-member American-based global girl group, hails from the partnership between Hybe and Geffen Records. “Iconic By Mistake” featured five members of the group — Sophia, Daniela, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae — as member Manon has been on a hiatus since earlier this year.

The girl group’s 2025 mainstream breakout hit “Gnarly” launched a string of successes for the group over the last year and half. Katseye was nominated for two Grammy Awards earlier this year, including in the coveted best new artist category. They also made their Coachella debut in April and recently played to a massive crowd at the New York-based Governors Ball festival.

Le Sserafim, a five-member K-pop girl group, is under Hybe sub-label Source Music. The five-member girl group, comprising members Chaewon, Sakura, Yunjin, Kazuh and Eunchae, is fresh off the release of their most recent studio album, Pureflow Pt. 1. The album debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart earlier this month. “Iconic By Mistake” becomes the group’s highest charting song on the Hot 100.

Illit, a five-member K-pop girl group, is signed to Hybe sub-label Belift, also home to the popular boy group Enhypen. The group, comprising members Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha, recently released their fourth EP, Mamihlapinatapai. Illit’s 2024 debut song, “Magnetic,” became a fast hit for the group, kicking off their career with an entry on the Hot 100 at No. 91. “Iconic By Mistake” becomes their highest ranking song on the chart.

“Iconic By Mistake” was released on June 12 and included a music video with the members of the various girl groups. Full group collaborations like this song are rare in the world of K-pop, particularly when, despite being from the same parent company, all groups are technically under different labels under Hybe. The supergroup also performed the song on Korean music shows as one large unit.
