RIIZE is set to make a highly anticipated comeback with their first full-length album, slated for release in May. Their agency, SM Entertainment, confirmed the news on March 19, stating to Dispatch, “RIIZE is preparing for the release of their first studio album in May. Please look forward to it.”
This comeback comes approximately 11 months after the group’s debut EP, “RIIZING”, which was released last year. The album not only became a million-seller in its first week of release but also marked a new career high for the group, surpassing the sales of their debut single “Get A Guitar”. “RIIZING” sold 1.25 million copies, exceeding the 1.01 million copies recorded by their first single.
RIIZE’s success extended beyond album sales, as they gained significant traction on the global music charts. “RIIZING” topped iTunes Top Albums charts in 10 countries and regions worldwide, while also reaching No. 1 on Japan’s Line Music real-time chart. These achievements solidified their growing international presence.
The group’s impact was also reflected in their streaming performance. Spotify Korea’s 2024 Wrapped ranked “RIIZING” as the sixth most-streamed album in South Korea. Additionally, their song “Impossible” was listed in Top RADAR Korea Songs 2024, marking it as one of the most-played tracks on the platform.
As anticipation builds for their upcoming album, expectations are high for what RIIZE will bring to the table in their first full-length release. Given their rapid growth and strong digital performance, industry insiders are closely watching their next move.
In addition to album preparations, RIIZE is also participating in SMTOWN LIVE 2025, SM Entertainment’s large-scale joint concert featuring its roster of artists. The tour further cements their position as one of the agency’s rising acts.
With their first studio album on the horizon, RIIZE is poised to take another significant step in their career, further expanding their influence in the K-pop industry. Their ability to consistently break records and captivate audiences suggests that their next release could be another milestone moment.
