ILLIT expands its musical spectrum by teaming up with a popular American producer. Yesterday (3rd), ILLIT released the track motion for their 1st single 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' on the official HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. According to this, 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' includes the title track and the song 'NOT ME.' The title track 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' intuitively expresses the feeling of not wanting to be seen as cute. This song is produced by Jasper Harris, who has achieved global success, including being number one on the Billboard 'HOT 100' and being nominated for a Grammy, bringing out ILLIT's diverse charm. Furthermore, singer-songwriters from Korea and abroad, such as Sasha Alex Sloan and youra, are contributing, raising expectations for the synergy that will emerge with ILLIT. The song 'NOT ME' boldly declares that no one can define oneself. American female duo producers Pebbles & TamTam, known for their attention on global short-form platforms like TikTok with 'Pink Like Suki,' also participated in the production. Additionally, Yuna, Minju, and Mocha are credited on the song, promising to showcase ILLIT's unique sensibility alongside their growth. The concept of the track motion is also intriguing. This single collaborates with the British fashion brand Ashley Williams, utilizing collage designs, and the new song is stylishly revealed with sparkling LEDs. ILLIT's 1st single 'NOT CUTE ANYMORE' tells the honest story of 'me' who begins to feel that the self the world sees is not the same as the self I see. Following the track motion, concept photos will be unveiled on the 10th and 12th. Ahead of their comeback on November 24, they will hold '2025 ILLIT GLITTER DAY IN SEOUL ENCORE' at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa District, Seoul, for two days on November 8-9. This performance sold out quickly on the first day of pre-reservation, showcasing their ticket power.
