RIIZE
Breezy, guitar-flecked pop that feels like a Polaroid of a perfect summer day. Nostalgic melodies meet modern house grooves for an effortless, sun-soaked listen.

RIIZE is a South Korean boy group formed by SM Entertainment in 2023, representing a strategic shift toward 'Emotional Pop.' The group's identity is built on a foundation of nostalgia and accessibility, diverging from the 'Lore-heavy' or experimental 'Neo' concepts of their predecessors.
Their sound identity is characterized by the prominent use of live-sounding instrumentation, particularly funk-inspired electric guitars and 90s-style house pianos. Musically, they bridge the gap between the sophisticated R&B of the second-generation K-pop era and the sleek, minimalist production of the fourth and fifth generations. Critical consensus highlights their vocal cohesion and the technical prowess of members like Sohee and Shotaro. Despite early lineup changes, the group has maintained a dominant chart presence, particularly with 'Love 119' which sampled izi's 'Emergency Room,' cementing their status as leaders of the 'easy-listening' trend in the idol industry. Their influence web connects back to SM's legacy of vocal excellence while looking forward to global house and garage trends.
