NOT CUTE ANYMORE signals a new direction for the group.

Ailet is making its comeback with its first single, NOT CUTE ANYMORE, set for release on the 24th of next month. This marks their return about five months after the release of their third mini-album Bomb in June. The agency said the single will explore a new direction, with a title that signals a shift from public perception to a more mature image.

As the group explains, the track addresses the gap between how the world views them and how they view themselves. They describe this as the central theme of the release, promising a more self-assured artistic approach in the new material.

Ailet has been actively promoting in Korea and Japan recently. Last month, they released their first Japanese-language single, Doki Yo Tomare (時よ止まれ; Toki Yo Tomare), to accelerate their entry into the Japanese market. Additionally, they are scheduled to hold an encore of Glitter Day, their fan concert, on November 8–9 at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul.
