South Korean<\/strong> company SM Entertainment<\/strong> officially debuted its latest group named “RIIZE”<\/strong> <\/em>yesterday, on Monday, September 4. The debut of this rookie group comes after much anticipation due to the different teasers, their pre-debut songs that were previously released, and specially because the boy band has two former NCT members<\/strong> in its line-up.<\/p>\n

The group officially made their debut with its first actual single, “Get a Guitar,”<\/strong><\/em> which is a funky K-pop song with guitar riffs (as its name implies), a little disco influence, some raps and caramel-like vocals by the members. However, this was not the first time the RIIZE members put out a song.<\/p>\n

Actually, their SM Entertainment had them previously release “Memories,”<\/strong> <\/em>which was their pre-release single, to give fans a sneak-peak of the group. In addition, the 7-piece band released a dance performance<\/strong> video of a song called “Siren,” where fans got to see the young men’s performance skills!<\/p>\n

The debut of RIIZE came after SM Entertainment decided to share a statement in which they confirmed the departure<\/strong> of Shotaro<\/strong> and Sung Chan<\/strong> from their former group NCT<\/strong>. At that time, the South Korean company stated that “they will be closing their chapter with NCT” and would “debut in a new boy group that will launch in 2023.” The company apologized to fans for the sudden change but asked them for support toward the two idols.<\/p>\n

Now, waiting time is over and RIIZE is finally here. The group’s name comes from the combination of “Rise”<\/strong><\/em> and “Realise,”<\/strong> <\/em>and it is made up of members Shotaro, Sung Chan, Eunseok, Won Bin, Seung Han, So Hee and Anton. They have already made a deal with RCA records for their possible debut in the United States and officially named their fans SUNZ.<\/p>\n
