[OSENWORLD] In just two years since their debut, RIIZE has emerged as one of K-pop’s fastest-rising groups — racking up eight awards, three consecutive million-selling albums, and a global tour footprint that continues to expand.
The group debuted on September 4, 2023 with their single album Get A Guitar, introducing their unique “emotional pop” sound. Their bold performances and distinct musical style made an immediate impact, sweeping year-end award shows with eight trophies, including four Best New Artist honors, and securing their place as the standout rookies of the year.
Momentum carried into 2024. In January, RIIZE climbed streaming charts with the single Love 119, followed by their first mini album RIIZING in May. That same year, they launched their first fan-concert tour RIIZING DAY, performing across 19 cities worldwide. The tour concluded with a sold-out finale at Seoul’s KSPO Dome — a rare feat for a group just one year into their career.
This year, RIIZE proved their growth trajectory is only accelerating. In May, they released their first full-length album ODYSSEY, marking their third consecutive million-seller and setting a new career high. In July, they embarked on their first world tour RIIZING LOUD, which will cover 22 regions worldwide, underscoring their expanding global reach.
From rookies to global performers, RIIZE’s identity of “growth and realization” has remained at the core of their story. Alongside the unwavering support of their fandom BRIIZE, the group continues to set new standards for what rookie groups can achieve — and their journey is only just beginning.
