On June 16, 2025, the ‘Era of Ailit’ began.

‘Magnetic’ can now be let go.The fate of a super rookie whose debut song has become a self-proclaimed hit song, Ailit has surpassed Ailit.This happened in just 1 year and 2 months since debut.

The main character of ‘Magnet Syndrome’, Illit, is back.The title of the new album is ‘BOMB.’ From the album’s opening song ‘Little Monster’ to the title song ‘Borrowed Cat’ and the last song ‘Night Picnic’, the selfish lineup that stands out without any flaws stands out.

The title track ‘Borrowed Cat’, which even has an unusual title, has completely locked up all the popular factors of ‘Magnetic’ and has achieved an irrefutable advancement.In addition to the powerful chorus that overcomes ‘super attraction’, the ‘cat dance’, which is like an in-depth version of finger choreography, appears, and it is expected to become a new standard for the so-called ‘challenge’ that has become a common language worldwide through SNS.

As an artist who is represented by the perfection of the album, the leap forward has also been ‘excessively’ proven through the new album.If the title song ‘Borrowed Cat’ has the feel of a pop song, the double title song ‘Little Monster’ boldly breaks away from the existing girl group pattern and gives a fresh shock as a ‘potential masterpiece’.

At the showcase held on the day of the release, Ailrit explained that they were able to produce such results due to the “over-immersion” that the current generation uses to describe the spirit of craftsmanship.While talking about “growth” through the new album, they often brought up “gaining a tone” that is not often heard from idols.The members said, “We practiced so much that we ‘taste blood’ in our throats,” and foreshadowed that the “tone” they acquired through such practice would be appreciated live on stage, more than in the album.

In line with the main concept of this album, ‘magical girl’, Ailitt also gave girlish answers to the question ‘what superpower do you want to have’ during the showcase.


As if to emphasize the title of the song, “Borrowed Cat,” some people wanted “the ability to talk to pets,” while others were particularly focused on “teleportation” and the ability to fly.The story of wanting to become a “flying girl” was quite realistic.”The commute to work(the agency)is easy.(Laughs)”

Ailrit’s third mini-album ‘Night’ was released simultaneously worldwide through global pop music platforms at 6 PM on this day.
