RIIZE debuted under SM Entertainment on Sept. 4, 2023, with their first single album, “Get a Guitar.” They were originally a seven-member group, but Seunghan officially stepped down in October last year, leaving us with the current lineup consisting of EunseokSungchanWonbinSohee, Anton, and Shotaro, who is also the only Japanese member of the group. 

RIIZE has since been making waves in the K-Pop scene with their catchy tunes and powerful choreography. Last year, they made history as the first K-Pop group to perform at the international edition of Rolling Loud, the world’s biggest hip-hop festival, which was held in Pattaya, Thailand.
