ILLIT, the popular HYBE girl group, has released their fifth EP, BREAK EVEN, addressing a theme of one-sided love. The group reflects on their devotion being unrequited, likening the frustration of giving more than receiving to a break-even point. The lead track, You're Under Arrest, portrays this frustration as a trial. Four members - Wonhee, Yunah, Minju, and Iroha - discussed the album's creation at a media showcase in Seoul.
Moka, currently on hiatus due to health concerns, will not participate in this EP's promotions. The group aimed to demonstrate a stronger side after the success of their previous album, It's Me. Wonhee expressed particular pride in this album, calling it her all-time favorite.
