ILLIT teases twist with ‘Break Even,’ fifth mini album due next month on the 26th

A bold warning beyond ‘break-even’ marks a new turning point in relationships

Girl group ‘ILLIT’ will release its fifth mini album, ‘Break Even’ (BREAK EVEN), on the 26th of next month, signaling a twist for the music industry. Its agency, ‘BELIFT LAB’, officially announced the comeback schedule on the 14th.

The new album’s title, ‘Break Even’, was inspired by the economic term break-even point. It captures the members’ candid and determined declaration that they will no longer waste meaningless emotions and time on relationships that do not give back as much as they put in. It is a bold warning to someone who maintains a lukewarm attitude, while also signaling a new turning point in relationships they take charge of themselves.

ILLIT builds on U.S. Billboard ‘Hot 100’ momentum with global encore tour

ILLIT’s global impact this year has been formidable. After topping major domestic music charts with ‘It’s Me’ (It's Me), which incorporates elements of techno, the group made a splash by simultaneously entering the U.S. Billboard main singles chart, the ‘Hot 100’, and the U.K. Official Singles Chart’s ‘Top 100’ with ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’ (ICONIC BY MISTAKE), a collaboration with ‘LE SSERAFIM’ and ‘KATSEYE’, both signed to HYBE Labels.

Building on those explosive global achievements, ILLIT will hold encore performances to cap its first tour, starting next month in Incheon and concluding in December in Chiba, Japan. The album and tour are expected to showcase the peak of the musical worldview the group has built.
