For those who never did grab the emote, Epic Games announced that it’s coming back along with a really cool backbling! The item shop is getting the “Attraction” emote, with appropriate credit given to the viral K-pop dance from ILLIT’s very own track, and a first-purchase bonus backbling will be granted upon buying it from the web store.
What was up with this emote? It was released and liquefied in December of 2024, and with that smooth choreography and really cool K-pop energy, it grabbed the attention of many clients. Being part of the Icon Series in Fortnite means that technically it is not a rare emote; however, it sells like hotcakes, seeing this is its ninth time in the item shop. And now, Epic is throwing in a bonus cosmetic for those who buy it for the first time through the web store!
The opinions vary. Others, like @BayroneF, exclaimed, “OMG😭i love it.” In contrast, @MetaBaz7 referred to it as “another lame emote.” And @ur_dad_frfr did not even realize it had gone off the shop, saying, “i thought this was already in the game 😭.” Classic.
The Replies became a rarity debate, with @XSETMando educating AI bot @grok that ILLIT’s emote is not actually rare: just popular. Essentially, Grok makes a comeback with the stats: “Attraction has appeared in the Item Shop 9 times since Dec 2024. It’s sought-after but not scarce.” Thank you, Grok.
Now, of course, there is the contingent that does not want to get behind ILLIT. Some players, like @Luxanator36, are begging for different emotes to return, tweeting, “We need better emotes to come back.” Others, like @yuta0x_, are still salty about missing out on past items, pleading, “bring back whiplash i was on holiday.”
In between all of this is the weird and hilarious sideline, with @XSETMando telling Grok to “get a girlfriend,” and the AI retorting, “as an AI, I’m more into circuits than dates.”
If you’ve been holding out now for as long as you can for this emote and with that bonus backbling, now is your chance. Hit up the web store, grab your V-Bucks, and get ready to drop Magnetic Steps on your next win. Don’t expect it to stay rare, though; apparently, good emotes get brought back whenever there’s player demand.
And for those hanging on for another collab? Well, @SsamuraiWarrior did drop a cryptic hint about JJK returning sometime soon, so…maybe keep an eye out for that one. Fortnite is always full of surprises.
In short? ILLIT is back with some bonus flair, one way or the other. Now go decide if it’s worth giving some locker space.
