ILLIT BREAK EVEN: Tracklist, Date & You're Under Arrest

ILLIT BREAK EVEN is the South Korean girl group's fifth mini album, due Monday 26 October 2026 from Belift Lab. The four-track, 11:16 EP is led by title track You're Under Arrest (체포하겠어) and follows 2026's Mamihlapinatapai. This ADVANCE guide locks the date, tracklist, concept and what to expect ten days out — without inventing chart numbers that are not out yet.

ILLIT BREAK EVEN release date

Belift Lab announced the comeback on 14 September 2026, with Korean outlets Maeil Business and Korea JoongAng Daily confirming the 26 October drop. Digital and CD formats are listed for South Korea and worldwide streaming the same day. Spotify already hosts a prerelease page for the EP. Concept assets rolled out across late September and early October: a "Burning" concept film on announcement day, a teaser with song snippets on 5 October, and "Gllit" concept photos on 6 October.

Tracklist: four songs, 11 minutes

Wikipedia's track listing (sourced to Belift credits) is:

1. Super in Love — ~2:59 — dreamy indie-dance opener (producers include Ellie, Tehya Lawzy, "Hitman" Bang, Frants)

2. More — ~2:53 — speed-garage cut with dynamic rhythms (Nightfeelings / Bang / Frants)

3. You're Under Arrest — ~3:01 — electro-pop title track with a whistled hook (Bang / Slow Rabbit / EQ)

4. Pop — ~2:23 — baile-funk closer (Dave Hamelin / Ink / Bang / Frants / Slow Rabbit)

Total length: 11:16. Genres across the EP span dance, speed garage, electro-pop and baile funk.

What "BREAK EVEN" means

Belift frames the title around the financial break-even point — revenue equalling cost — applied to relationships: stop investing time and emotion where it is not returned. Concept teasers lean into a sharper, more confrontational image than earlier cute-era packaging; Korean press after the October 5 teaser called out the whistle hook on You're Under Arrest and the warning-line energy in the preview snippets.

How to prepare for 26 October

Mark 26 October 2026, 6 pm KST for the Korea drop and matching global streaming windows. Pre-save on Spotify where available; physical Weverse / Apple Music Korea album pages are already live for collectors. For K-pop live context on this site see our LE SSERAFIM iHeartRadio 2026 and BTS iHeartRadio 2026 festival reports — different events, same cluster of search interest around Hybe-family stages.

We will not invent first-week sales or chart peaks before the EP lands. Come back after 26 October for a chart/reviews follow-up only if Trends demand it.

Where ILLIT sits in the 2026 K-pop calendar

BREAK EVEN is ILLIT's fifth mini album under Belift Lab, the Hybe-family label that also houses the group's earlier eras. The October 26 date sits in a busy late-October music window globally, but the EP's four-track length and whistle-led title track are aimed at a fast streaming cycle rather than a full-length LP campaign. Korean outlets after the October teasers highlighted the sharper concept image and the addictive whistle on You're Under Arrest.

Collectors should watch Weverse Albums and regional CD variants (including Japan notices on ILLIT's official JP site) for exclusive photocards; those SKUs often sell out before street date. International fans without Korean billing can still pre-save the digital EP and follow Belift's YouTube for the title MV drop timed to the album.
