K-pop group RIIZE is set to make a comeback with their first full-length album this May.
According to SM Entertainment on April 28, RIIZE will release their first studio album, ODYSSEY, on May 19. The album will feature a total of 10 tracks, and pre-orders have opened both online and offline starting today.
ODYSSEY marks RIIZE’s return approximately 11 months after their mini-album RIIZING and successful first fan concert tour RIIZING DAY. The album is designed to firmly define RIIZE’s artistic identity.
Known for their unique promotional methods, RIIZE has prepared an unprecedented and large-scale campaign for this release. Highlights include the RIIZE PREMIERE, where fans can preview all tracks with accompanying videos—available online from May 14 and offline from May 15. A cinematic trailer for the premiere has already been released via RIIZE’s official YouTube channel, showcasing blockbuster-level quality and generating high anticipation.
Additionally, RIIZE launched a new Instagram account to document their “real-time odyssey,” sharing teasers and content leading up to the album release.
With previous hits like “Get A Guitar,” “Love 119,” and “Boom Boom Bass” establishing their “emotional pop” signature style, and accolades such as three songs charting on the 2024 Melon Year-End Chart, back-to-back million-seller albums, and sweeping 16 awards at year-end ceremonies, expectations are high for RIIZE’s next chapter in 2025.
