Baby DONT Cry has officially kicked off their comeback countdown.

On March 16, the group unveiled the trailer for their first mini album AFTER CRY via official social media, hinting at a tightly woven storyline and raising anticipation.

Each member showcased distinct individuality across different settings, pulling off a wide spectrum of concepts—from glamorous to mysterious. The unique beat also captured attention, adding to the trailer's immersive mood.

Intriguing narration lines such as "What do you see in me?", "We can become anything," and "Countless stories are waiting for you and me" further heightened curiosity.

A representative stated, "As this marks Baby DONT Cry's first comeback of 2026, we focused on delivering a visually rich experience. You'll be able to witness the limitless expansion of their narrative."

AFTER CRY signals the beginning of a new storyline, serving as the first chapter in their "Tears Trilogy" project. Rather than what comes after tears, the album explores the journey leading up to them.

Previously, Baby DONT Cry built momentum with their pre-release track "Shapeshifter," proving their growth through high-quality performances on various music shows.

Meanwhile, the new album will be released on March 24 at 6 PM (KST) across major streaming platforms.
