ILLIT has released part of the sound source of their new song, which had been shrouded in mystery, raising expectations for their comeback. On the 21st, ILLIT released a teaser video for their 1st single "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" through the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. The diverse visuals of the members catch the eye. Iroha, with her kitschy sensibility, Wonhee, overwhelming with a cool gaze through sunglasses, and Yuna, boasting a sophisticated style, are shown one after another. Following that, Minju gazes meaningfully at something, and the blonde Mocha shows a strong presence with gunfire, stirring curiosity about their story. The sound source of "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" inserted in the video leaves a deep aftertaste despite being short. The dreamy melody and rhythmic beat create a unique atmosphere. Here, ILLIT conveys the song's message with the narration "BEING CUTE DOESN'T DEFINE WHO I AM." "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" is a reggae-rhythm-based pop song that intuitively expresses the feeling of not wanting to be seen as just cute, and ILLIT is challenging a new genre through this song. Produced by Jasper Harris, who has worked on Billboard's HOT 100 No. 1 song (First Class - Jack Harlow) and Grammy-nominated tracks (Montero - Lil Nas X), it is expected to bring out ILLIT's new charm. ILLIT will release the second teaser video today (23rd). The full sound source of the new song and the music video for the title track will be released on the 24th at 6 PM. Among fans looking forward to ILLIT's comeback, the "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" sticker challenge is trending. Fans are decorating their items with stickers featuring phrases like "I am not defined by cuteness" and "Cuteness alone cannot explain me," along with the collaboration character for this single, "Little Mimi," and uploading verification shots on social media.
