AILET is raising the heat for their full comeback. A representative from Belift Lab stated in a phone call with 'Dispatch' on the 30th, "AILET is preparing a new album with the goal of a comeback in June." They plan to showcase their unique charm. The agency explained, "Detailed information regarding the new album's comeback will be revealed later."
They are returning after about 8 months. AILET gained global attention right after their debut in 2023. Their debut track, 'Magnetic,' achieved remarkable records. They charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and the Official Singles Top 100 in the U.K., making them the first K-pop group to enter both major global charts simultaneously.
The group surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, the largest music streaming platform, in the shortest time for a K-pop group's debut song, setting the record in about 275 days.
They achieved the highest ranking for an overseas artist on Billboard Japan's 'Hot 100,' reaching 15th place. They were also the only K-pop act to appear in the annual ranking on YouTube Japan (Shorts). The response from Japan was enthusiastic. In February, the song 'Almond Chocolate' from the OST of the Japanese movie 'I Don't Just Like Your Face' created a reverse charting phenomenon in Japan.
They swept global rookie awards, captivating fans worldwide with their quirky charm and addictive songs. They have established themselves as representatives of the 5th generation. 'Magnetic' also reached the top of major domestic music charts. Even now, more than a year after its release, it remains on both domestic and international charts, continuing its long run.
AILET will hold their first fan concert, 'GLITTER DAY IN SEOUL,' on June 7-8 at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. They also plan to meet their Japanese fans, with performances scheduled in Yokohama and Osaka in August and September. They are set for active global activities.
