RIIZE to Release First Studio Album ‘ODYSSEY’ Featuring Tribute Track ‘Inside My Love’

Rising K-pop boy band RIIZE is making a highly anticipated return with their first full-length album titled ‘ODYSSEY’, set to drop on May 19 at 6 PM KST. Among the ten genre-spanning tracks, fans are especially moved by ‘Inside My Love’, a nostalgic pop-ballad designed as an emotional thank-you letter to their fans, affectionately known as BRIIZE.

Blending the warm tones of 1990s retro pop with intimate lyrics, ‘Inside My Love’ encapsulates RIIZE’s sincere appreciation and love for their fanbase. The group expressed, “This song takes us back through our journey with BRIIZE. Love is complex, but we just want to say one simple thing—at the end of the day, it’s BRIIZE who matter the most to RIIZE. We want to grow together for a long time.”

Teaser images, featuring the six members enjoying relaxed moments together, were posted at midnight on May 7 via the official RIIZE Odyssey Instagram account and RIIZE’s social media platforms. The visuals have sparked excitement among fans, further building anticipation for the album’s release.

‘ODYSSEY’ promises to showcase RIIZE’s signature sound, often described as “emotional pop”, with a balanced mix of uplifting anthems and introspective melodies such as the title track ‘Fly Up’. The album is expected to highlight RIIZE’s maturity as artists and their evolving musical identity.

Prior to the album release, RIIZE will host an exclusive online event, RIIZE BRIIZE First Premiere, on May 14 at 8 PM KST for members of the RIIZE Community on Weverse. This virtual showcase will feature all ten tracks from ‘ODYSSEY’ as part of a blockbuster-style 40-minute video presentation—a grand first reveal for loyal BRIIZE fans worldwide.
