RIIZE (SME) sparked a commercial success signal with a special online and offline premiere before their comeback.
'RIIZE ‘ODYSSEY’ PREMIERE' is an event that allows fans to enjoy RIIZE's first regular album, set to be released on May 19, in the form of a 'cinematic film' with a runtime of about 40 minutes. Following the online premiere on the 14th through the Weverse RIIZE community, offline theater screenings began on the 15th.
In particular, RIIZE met fans during two stage greetings held at Mega Box COEX in Gangnam, Seoul, on May 15, and noted, "The reason we revealed all the songs in the video first is that we are that confident. Please look forward to the album release. If you can rate the premiere, it would be great if everyone could give it a perfect score."
In addition, overseas theater screenings held in MixC Cinema in China, Ichigaya Cinearts in Japan, and Major Cineplex in Thailand wrapped up successfully under the enthusiastic cheers of local fans. As screenings will continue until tomorrow (18th) in Korean Mega Box, the spotlight on RIIZE is expected to continue until just before their comeback.
Prior to this, the premiere, which was first made available online on the 14th, received explosive reactions as fans in 125 regions worldwide, including South Korea, the United States, Japan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, watched together, solidifying RIIZE's popularity.
Meanwhile, RIIZE's first regular album, ‘ODYSSEY,’ includes the title track ‘Fly Up,’ as well as the track ‘Bag Bad Back,’ which rose to No. 1 on YouTube's trending videos in Korea, along with ‘Ember to Solar’ and a total of 10 tracks, set to be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on May 19.
