ILLIT returns Oct. 26 with fifth mini album BREAK EVEN

📰 Summary

ILLIT will release its fifth mini album, BREAK EVEN, on Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. KST. Agency Belift Lab says the title borrows the economic term for neither gain nor loss. The album follows “It’s Me,” which peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.

ILLIT has promoted as four members since June, when Moka paused activities for health reasons. The group also holds encore concerts at Inspire Arena in Incheon on Oct. 17 and 18.

🗓️ A crowded Oct. 26

ILLIT isn’t alone that day. IVE releases its mini album Looks Can Kill, its first album in about eight months, and RIIZE drops a prologue single ahead of a second full-length album planned for next spring.

💡 Context for new fans

When big groups release on the same day, fans often call it a “comeback war.” It doesn’t mean the groups are rivals. Fans are just splitting their streaming time, and music show trophies get harder to win that week.
