(ANN/THE KOREA HERALD) – Riize, the rising K-pop sensation, is generating buzz with the release of their latest performance single “Siren,” which hit the airwaves on Wednesday. This release is just a taste of what’s to come, as fans eagerly anticipate the band’s upcoming album slated for a June release.
“Siren” is not entirely new to fans, as it was previously featured as the background music for the band’s minute-long pre-debut performance video, which was unveiled in August.
The single is a nod to the hip-hop sounds of the 90s, characterised by its addictive rhythm and bass riff, showcasing Riize’s versatility and musical prowess.

Fans can expect more exciting releases from Riize in the coming weeks. The band is set to drop their prologue single, “Impossible,” on April 18, followed by three B-side tracks on April 29.
These releases will serve as a prelude to the much-anticipated full EP release of “Riizing” in June, promising fans an immersive musical experience.
Riize made their debut in September last year with “Get A Guitar,” a debut album that achieved remarkable success, selling over a million copies.
As they gear up for their album release, Riize is also preparing to embark on their first fan concert tour, titled “Riizing Day.” The tour will kick off in Seoul next month.

It has been about six months since it released the seventh EP “History of Kingdom: Part VII. Jahan” which wrapped up the seven-part series it has built up on for three years. The band has announced the beginning of its new chapter with a trailer video “The Beginning of New Story: Challenge” in January.
The seven members are ready to show their new sides, jumping over to modern days from the time they ruled as kings of their own “kingdoms,” according to the interview they had with a local media last month.
