SM Entertainment boy group RIIZE has officially revealed an ambitious roadmap for their upcoming musical activities, announcing both an autumn comeback and long-term plans for a full-length album release.
During the opening night of their sold-out third-anniversary fan meeting, “Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR”, held at the INSPIRE Arena in Incheon, the group surprised the assembled audience by revealing a promotional schedule that extends through spring 2027.
According to the group’s official announcement, RIIZE will make their immediate return with a brand-new digital single on October 26, 2026.
This release will serve as a prelude to their second full-length studio album, officially titled “EMOTIION”, which is scheduled to drop in spring 2027.
Anniversary Fan Meeting Announcements and Fan Gratitude
The unexpected news was presented through a special teaser video screened at the conclusion of the group’s anniversary showcase.
The two-day sold-out event brought together approximately 23,000 fans (known officially as BRIIZE), celebrating three years since the group’s formal debut in September 2023.
Throughout the fan meeting, RIIZE delivered energetic performances of their hit discography- including tracks such as “Get A Guitar”, “Fly Up”, and “Do Your Dance”- alongside specialized individual stages and tribute cover performances.
Addressing the audience during the emotional event, the members expressed deep gratitude for their fanbase’s continuous support as they reflected on their growth.
“We recall our debut showcase, and it’s joyful to be with more BRIIZE than back then,” the members shared on stage.
“As time passes, we feel that the love exchanged between RIIZE and BRIIZE is important.”
Looking ahead toward their long-term future, the members added,
“It’s already been three years, but it also feels like just three years. We look forward to achieving more with BRIIZE in the future.”
Sequential Album Rollout and Continued Global Growth
The upcoming October 26 digital single marks RIIZE’s next domestic Korean comeback following the release of their mini-album earlier in the year.
The autumn track will function as a prologue single, setting the thematic and musical tone for the full-length “EMOTIION” project arriving in 2027.
This release strategy mirrors the phased rollout structure SM Entertainment previously utilized for RIIZE’s debut studio album, “ODYSSEY”, in 2025.
The announcement caps off a busy and successful period of global promotions for the group. In addition to their Korean releases, RIIZE recently expanded their presence in Japan with their second Japanese single “Sunburst” in August 2026, which earned an official Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).
Also, the group has been confirmed as part of the primary performing lineups for major year-end music award ceremonies, including the 2026 Melon Music Awards (MMA) and the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA).
With a new digital single set for October and their second full album slated for spring 2027, RIIZE continues to solidify a prominent schedule across international markets.
