K-pop fans, get ready—RIIZE is officially making their grand return to the music scene with a release that promises to be their biggest yet.
After nearly a year away from the spotlight, the rising boy group has announced the release of their very first full-length album titled “ODYSSEY”, set to drop on May 19 at 6 p.m. KST.
The announcement came just after midnight on April 28 (KST), accompanied by an epic cinematic trailer that offers a dramatic glimpse into the concept of the upcoming album.
With bold visuals and a mysterious tone, the teaser sets expectations sky-high and hints at a storyline-driven comeback that aligns with the album’s title—suggesting a journey or adventure both musically and emotionally.
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.
