The group ILLIT will release their fifth mini album, "BREAK EVEN," on October 26, according to a statement from their agency Believelab on September 14.

The album title is inspired by the economic term "break-even point," which means a state of neither loss nor gain. The album centers on the message of no longer investing one's heart and time in relationships that don't reciprocate one's efforts.

ILLIT previously released the title track of their fourth mini album, "It's Me," in April. Based on the techno genre, the song showcased a more powerful sound and performance compared to their earlier works.

In Japan, they released their second single's title track, "I Got Your Back." This song, featuring Jisu and Momoka from the Japanese girl group Hana, was included in the OST for the original drama "The Rules of Vacation" on the OTT platform Abema, and reached number two on Billboard Japan's comprehensive song chart, Japan Hot 100.

ILLIT is currently holding their first tour, "ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥'." All shows in Seoul, five cities in Japan, and Hong Kong have sold out. Encore performances are scheduled for next month in Incheon and this December in Chiba, Japan.
