RIIZE is a six-member K-pop boy group under SM Entertainment, known for shaping a distinct musical identity with Emotional Pop – a sound rooted in honest storytelling and real-time emotional growth.  The group’s name combines the words “Rise” and “Realize,” symbolizing a team that grows together while turning dreams into reality. Since their official debut in September 2023 with the hit single “Get A Guitar,” RIIZE has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic and successful new acts in K-pop.

Composed of members Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton, RIIZE quickly captured global attention, breaking records as the fastest K-pop group to reach 1 million Instagram followers and becoming a favorite across music, fashion, and advertising industries. Within just four months of debut, they swept four Rookie of the Year awards, signaling their arrival as a top-tier act.

In 2024, RIIZE continued their meteoric ascent with hits like “Love 119” and their first mini album RIIZING, achieving consecutive million-seller status and selling out fan concerts across 19 cities worldwide. Their global appeal was spotlighted early on when, just three months after debut, they were tapped by Louis Vuitton as House Ambassadors – a collaboration that underscored their rapid international impact. The group ended 2024 by surpassing 1M followers on Spotify, becoming the first among the boy groups who debuted in 2023 to reach this milestone. Their debut single, “Get A Guitar” also hit 100 million streams at the end of last year, further demonstrating the meteoric rise of the group.

Most recently, the group released their debut full-length album ODYSSEY, which achieved over one million sales, marking RIIZE’s third consecutive million-seller and further solidifying their position as one of K-pop’s most impactful rising forces.
