The group ILLIT secured their first win on KBS2's 'Music Bank' on the 6th with the title track 'I'll Arrest You' from their fifth mini album 'BREAK EVEN'. Immediately after the win, ILLIT stated, "Above all, we believe we were able to achieve this precious first win thanks to GLLIT (fandom name)," adding, "We will continue to work hard to 'arrest' the hearts of GLLIT."

According to Hanteo Chart, 'BREAK EVEN' sold 444,072 copies during its first week of release, which is 32,418 copies more than the 411,654 copies sold during the first week of their previous work. As of the 5th, the album held the number one spot for five consecutive days on Apple Music's 'Top 100: South Korea' and entered Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs Global' as well as the November 7 Billboard 'Global 200' and 'Billboard Global Excl. U.S.' charts. On TikTok, as of the 6th, videos using the track exceeded 400,000, reaching number one on the 'Top 50' and number three on the 'Viral 50'.

The song drew mixed reactions even before its release, after being first revealed during an encore concert on the 17th and 18th of last month, with some feedback noting that the whistle sounds were excessively loud and grating. On the 6th, ILLIT performed with outfits reminiscent of lifeguards, cheerleaders, and sports referees, and also released 'I'll Arrest You (Remixes)' on the same day, which includes Kids, Whistle, Club, and Hyper versions.
