K-Pop Sensation RIIZE to Premiere Debut Album ‘ODYSSEY’ in Theaters Across Four Countries

RIIZEs debut album ODYSSEY to be screened in Megabox QQ Music and Major Cineplex theaters

K-pop rookie group RIIZE is rewriting the playbook on album releases with an unprecedented cinematic premiere of their first full-length album ‘ODYSSEY’. Described as a blockbuster-level visual experience, the ‘RIIZE PREMIERE’ gives fans an exclusive 40-minute audiovisual journey through all tracks on the album.

Following its online debut on Weverse’s RIIZE community on May 14 at 8 PM (KST), the premiere will expand to offline theaters from May 15 to 18. The performance will be screened in 27 theaters across South Korea, China, Japan, and Thailand — including Megabox in Korea, QQ Music in China, the official RIIZE website in Japan, and Major Cineplex in Thailand. Ticket booking details will soon be available on the respective platforms.

Set to release on May 19, ‘ODYSSEY’ defines RIIZE’s musical identity and continues the concept of ‘Real-Time Odyssey,’ their narrative-driven artistry. The album includes 10 tracks in RIIZE’s self-proclaimed genre, ‘Emotional Pop,’ and features the lead single ‘Fly Up’.

Teasing the new era, a teaser image was unveiled on May 30 at midnight via the group’s Odyssey Instagram account (@riize_odyssey) and official social media, showcasing the members’ confident visual presence and stylish concepts.

Meanwhile, fans can now pre-order ‘ODYSSEY’ at both online and offline music stores globally. RIIZE’s ambitious approach and global theatrical premiere mark a significant moment in K-pop history, elevating album promotions to a whole new level.
