ILLIT – BREAK EVEN (hello82 Exclusive)

The expected release date is Oct 30th in the US (via hello82). We will begin the shipping process once we receive the pre-order items as long as there are no delays.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Orders containing pre-order items will be held until all items are released and available to ship together. It is guaranteed that you will get it whenever we receive it from South Korea! We usually ship out pre-order items in 1-2 business days from the day we receive them.

GLLITs, the break-even point has arrived — and ILLIT is done giving more than they get back. BREAK EVEN is ILLIT's 5th mini album, and this is the version for the collector who wants the full photobook experience plus the bonus pull: every copy of the hello82 Exclusive packs a 40-page photobook, a US/EU unit photocard, AND a hello82-only photocard you won't find in the standard Korean release. Three photocards, three chances, one very stressed bias-wrecker. 💸

Pick your mood — all three are selectable at checkout:

• 🤫 QUIET Ver. — the calm-before-the-storm version, for GLLITs who process feelings in silence (and then post about it at 2 a.m.).
• 🔥 BURNING Ver. — the "I gave you everything and you gave me lukewarm" version. Main-character energy.
• 😤 MAD Ver. — the fully-over-it version. Closure, but make it a photobook.

What makes this version special: Unlike the GLLIT Ver. (compact, random) and the Photo Dump Ver. (140-page photobook, 3 photocards), the hello82 Exclusive is the only BREAK EVEN format with a US/EU unit photocard + a retailer-exclusive hello82 photocard stacked on top of the version photocard. It's also the only format where you choose your version — no random-version roulette.

The pull math (because we know you're doing it anyway):

• Version photocard: 1 random from a pool of 4 per version → 12 designs across all 3 versions. That's a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of your bias per copy.
• hello82 Exclusive photocard: 1 random from a pool of 4 → another 1 in 4 (25%).
• US/EU unit photocard: 1 per copy (pool size not yet disclosed).
• Chance of pulling your bias on at least one of the two random 1-of-4 cards: 1 − (3/4 × 3/4) = 43.75%. Chance of both: 1 in 16 (6.25%).
• A pool of 4 is consistent with one design per active member (Yunah, Minju, Wonhee, Iroha); the official member-per-card breakdown will be confirmed once BELIFT LAB releases the photocard packshot.

About ILLIT: ILLIT (아일릿) is a five-member girl group under BELIFT LAB, a HYBE label, formed through the 2023 survival show R U Next? and debuted on March 25, 2024 with the mini album SUPER REAL ME. Members: Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee and Iroha (Moka is currently on hiatus). Their debut title track "Magnetic" became the first K-pop debut song ever to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 (#91) and broke the record for the fastest girl-group song to hit 100 million streams in Japan; ILLIT was also named Billboard's first-ever K-Pop Rookie of the Month. Every one of their mini albums has been KMCA-certified Platinum or higher, and the 4th mini MAMIHLAPINATAPAI (April 2026) hit #26 on the Billboard 200 — their career high — and #1 on Billboard World Albums. BREAK EVEN follows that run with 4 tracks led by the title track "I'll Arrest You," with HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk credited on all four songs. Fandom: GLLIT (글릿). Globally distributed via Polydor/Universal.

Ships from Denver, Colorado, USA 🇺🇸 — the only break-even we're not interested in is your shipping budget, so no customs fees.
