ILLIT will release their fifth EP, BREAK EVEN, on October 26, 2026, at 6 p.m. KST.

Preorder information followed the September 14 comeback announcement on September 28. The Japanese notice lists arrival in Japan for October 27, separately from the Korean release date, and says the schedule may change.

Editions include the standard, GLLIT, Weverse Albums and Photo Dump versions. The Weverse Albums edition has no CD: its QR card is registered in the Weverse Albums app to access content.
