Along with the trailer, RIIZE also released the first teaser image, adding to the anticipation and giving fans a small taste of the group’s evolving aesthetic.

This will be their first comeback since their previous release in 2024, making “ODYSSEY” a significant milestone in their career.

Not only does it mark a full return, but it also represents their first venture into a complete album format, which typically includes a wider range of musical styles and deeper storytelling.

In the meantime, fans can catch the members of RIIZE in their ongoing variety series, “BOSS RIIZE”, which is currently available with subtitles on Viki.

The show gives a more personal look into the group’s dynamics, humor, and behind-the-scenes preparations—offering the perfect prelude to their musical comeback.

As the countdown begins, excitement is spreading quickly across social media and fan communities, with many praising the group’s fresh concept and cinematic approach.

With “ODYSSEY”, RIIZE seems ready to showcase a more mature, refined sound and image, and all eyes will be on them come May 19.
