According to their agency, Belief Lab, on the 14th, ILLIT will release their fifth mini-album, “BREAK EVEN,” on the 26th of next month.
"BREAK EVEN" marks ILLIT’s comeback six months after the release of their fourth mini-album, "MAMIHLAPINATAPAI," last April. With the title track “It’s Me” from their previous album, Ailette reached No. 38 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 22 on the UK Official Singles Top 100. The song has remained in the top ranks of domestic music charts since its release.
The new album’s title is derived from “break-even point.” Their agency explained, “The album centers on a candid declaration: ‘I will no longer pour my heart and time into relationships that don’t give back as much as I put in.’”
Ailette is currently on their first tour, “PRESS START.” They will meet fans at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on the 17th and 18th of next month.
