RIIZE

RIIZE is a six-member K-pop boy group under SM Entertainment, consisting of SHOTARO, EUNSEOK, SUNGCHAN, WONBIN, SOHEE, and ANTON. Their name combines “Rise” and “Realize,” reflecting their journey of growing together and turning dreams into reality. Their signature “Emotional Pop” transcends genre boundaries, drawing on everyday experiences and emotions to connect with listeners worldwide.

Even before their debut, RIIZE made headlines by reaching 1 million Instagram followers in just four days, setting a K-pop group record at the time. Their 2023 debut single “Get A Guitar” became a million-seller within its first week, while the group quickly emerged as one of K-pop’s standout new acts, achieving chart and streaming milestones among their peers. Since then, RIIZE has maintained their momentum with their first mini album RIIZING (2024), first full-length album ODYSSEY (2025), and second mini album II (2026), which marked their fourth million-selling release. The title track of II, “Do your dance,” also entered Mediabase’s Top 40 Radio Airplay Chart, marking RIIZE’s first appearance on the U.S. mainstream pop radio chart.

RIIZE has also proven themselves as a powerful live act, with performance at the heart of their appeal. Following their 2024 fan-con tour, RIIZING DAY, which spanned 19 regions, their first world tour, RIIZING LOUD, ran from 2025 to 2026, drawing 420,000 attendees across 21 regions and including landmark performances at Tokyo Dome. Their global presence has extended to major festivals, with landmark K-pop performances at Mexico’s Tecate Emblema (2024), Austin City Limits (2025), and Lollapalooza South America (2026), further cementing their status as one of K-pop’s most closely watched acts.
