After months preparing for their comeback, it’s time to show their new song to the world!
But before they come back, they are pulled aside by the manager for some exciting news. After showing solid results with the past albums, the company decided to create the first LUXE’s first subunit to show a different side of the group. The subunit will be called Lemon Syrup inspired by real life Orange Caramel and their first release will be a double single with ‘Magic Girl’ and ‘A-ing’, which the line distribution can be found here. The members chosen to join are Ella, Yena and Zoe. They are told to learn the lyrics because the plan is to debut them next year.
Ella is also informed that she will have a solo fashion pictorial with Marie Claire Korea. The photo session will happen on October 10th and the photos will be released next month on the magazine’s November issue. You may use the following images as references (here).
To promote their first full album, the members of LUXE will all go to the recording of Ask In A Box inspired by this episode on October 12th. This episode will be uploaded on their Youtube channel on October 23rd. On October 14th, the members will take part in the filming of ‘Running Man’ inspired by Episode 428 which can be seen here under the theme “Everyone has secrets”. This episode will air on October 25th.
Their comeback date is on October 17th and the showcase will start at 7PM. A specially prepared video will play on the big screen highlighting different parts of their music video with the instrumentals of ‘Ah Yeah’ as the background music before the members walk onto the stage to perform their title track ‘Ah Yeah’. The MC Kim Minchul will appear once they’re done to thank the public for coming. The members will answer questions about their comeback preparations and new album as any other major activities that happened during their hiatus such as drama participations. They’ll then perform ‘Too Good For Me’ followed by ‘Oh Boy’, from their previous album. The MC will then ask more personal and variety questions and their goals for the future. They’ll finish it off with a performance of ‘How Why’ followed by ‘Up&Down’ to finish it off.

As explained in the previous month, LUXE will be joining the recordings of the biannual ISAC. They'll be taken to the event with their manager on October 24th and 25th and they should use this time to make friends, have fun and, of course, win the games to get more screen time. Once arriving, they will change into lilac uniforms and pose for the press before the recording start.
Along with the other idols, LUXE was invited to the annual Samsung Halloween Party. The girls are expected to abuse of their creativity and ROYAL has left their costume makers and makeup artist available for the girls to borrow help from.
