ILLIT - 5th Mini Album [BREAK EVEN] Album Guide

ILLIT is returning with their 5th Mini Album [BREAK EVEN], bringing a new chapter to their music and concept.

The album is officially scheduled for release on October 26, 2026 at 6 PM KST, with pre-orders beginning on September 28.

[BREAK EVEN] explores the idea of reaching a point where there is neither gain nor loss. According to BELIFT LAB, the album expresses ILLIT's decision to stop investing their time and emotions into a relationship that does not give the same in return.

For collectors, [BREAK EVEN] is available in several different physical formats, including the standard versions, GLLIT Ver., Photo Dump Ver. and Weverse Albums Ver.

ILLIT [BREAK EVEN] Versions

1. Weverse Albums Ver.

ILLIT - BREAK EVEN Weverse Albums Ver. (Pre-order)

The Weverse Albums Ver. is a compact digital-focused album format.

Instead of a traditional CD, the album uses a QR card that allows the music to be accessed through the Weverse Albums app. The official specifications include a package, Photocard A, Photocard B, Unit Photocard, Tracklist Card and QR Card.

This version is a good option for fans who prefer a smaller album format while still collecting official ILLIT album inclusions.

2. Photo Dump Ver.

The Photo Dump Ver. has a more compact physical format with a strong focus on photobook content.

The official contents include a package, perfect-binding photobook, sticker set, CD envelope, mini CD, lyric leaflet and three types of photocards.

For collectors who enjoy photobook-focused album designs and multiple photocard inclusions, this version offers a different collecting experience from the standard album.

3. GLLIT Ver.

The GLLIT Ver. is available in five versions: four member versions and one group version. The versions correspond to YUNAH, MINJU, WONHEE, IROHA and GROUP.

The album includes a folding package, photobook, mini CD, lyric sheet, photo sticker, title logo sticker, emotion sticker, credits insert, photocards and poster.

Since the GLLIT Ver. has member-specific versions, it can be particularly interesting for collectors who want to collect individual member versions.

4. Standard Version

ILLIT - BREAK EVEN Standard Ver. (Pre-order)

The standard album is available in three versions, with one version supplied randomly when ordering the Random Ver.

The standard album includes a photobook, book band, CD, CD envelope, sticker, poster and three types of photocards.

For collectors who prefer the traditional K-pop album format, the standard version offers the familiar combination of photobook, physical CD and album inclusions.

ILLIT [BREAK EVEN] SET

ILLIT - BREAK EVEN Standard 3-Ver. SET (Pre-order)

If you want to collect all three standard versions, the Standard SET includes the three standard album versions together.

This is a convenient option for collectors who want to complete the standard version set rather than receiving a single random version.

Which [BREAK EVEN] Version Should You Choose?

Each version offers something slightly different:

Standard Ver.
A traditional K-pop album format with a photobook, CD, poster and photocards.

GLLIT Ver.
A member-focused format with five different versions, including four member versions and one group version.

Photo Dump Ver.
A compact photobook-focused version with a mini CD and three types of photocards.

Weverse Albums Ver.
A smaller digital-focused format using a QR card and the Weverse Albums app instead of a traditional CD.

There is no single version that every collector needs to choose. Your preferred format, member version, photobook style and collecting goals can all make a difference.
