  "summary": "K-pop girl group ILLIT will release its fifth EP, Break Even, on October 26. This will be the group's first new music in about six months, following their fourth EP, It's Me, which was released in April.\n\nThe title of the upcoming EP was inspired by the economic term \"break-even point\", referring to a state where neither profit nor loss occurs, according to Belift Lab.\n\nThe new project is said to deliver a clear message from the speaker, who will no longer invest time and emotion in relationships that lack mutual return, marking a shift from their previous direct approach.",
