ILLIT are gearing up for a bold new era. The five-piece will release their first single album NOT CUTE ANYMORE on November 24, marking their return five months after their third mini album bomb.

The title NOT CUTE ANYMORE makes an immediate statement. According to an official description, the single album tells an honest story of self-discovery – realising that the version of oneself seen by the world isn’t always the same as the one seen from within. Building on the emotional themes from SUPER REAL ME and I’LL LIKE YOU, and the exploration of connection in bomb, ILLIT signal a new phase of growth and transformation with this release.

Their rise has been quick and consistent. bomb not only delivered ILLIT’s best first-week sales to date but also earned them a third consecutive spot on the Billboard 200 and another No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. The record cemented their knack for pairing offbeat charm with sincerity – a combination that’s become their signature.

Beyond the charts, ILLIT’s growing demand as performers is undeniable. Every date of their first fan concert series, 2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY, sold out across Seoul, Kanagawa and Osaka earlier this year, with encore shows in Seoul on November 8–9 also selling out within a day of presale.

Pre-orders for NOT CUTE ANYMORE opened on October 27 (KST), with details available via Weverse.

Formed through R U Next? in 2023 under BELIFT LAB, ILLIT – YUNAH, MINJU, MOKA, WONHEE and IROHA – made history when their debut single “Magnetic” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 91, an unprecedented feat for a K-pop group’s first release. Since then, the group has gone from breakout rookies to global chart regulars, with nominations at the MTV EMAs, Billboard Music Awards and a win for Best New Artist (K-Pop) at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

With NOT CUTE ANYMORE, ILLIT look ready to prove they’re far more than just the next big thing – they’re already there.
