RIIZE Album Configurations: Exploring Sunburst, EP "II", and Fame Editions

Korean fans are actively discussing and unboxing RIIZE's diverse album configurations, from their Japanese singles to EPs, driven by the group's frequent releases and varied packaging. The excitement centers on collecting different versions and the unique inclusions each album offers, generating buzz among collectors and casual listeners alike.

RIIZE's Japanese 3rd single "Sunburst," released on August 26, 2026, features three tracks including the title song, "Rise Over," and "KILL SHOT," the ending theme for the anime 'Kill Blue.' Their 2nd EP "II," released on July 9, 2026, includes a "Special version" with a PET cover case, a plastic blister pack, and 70 printed photos, notably lacking a photobook. The "Fame" album offers multiple versions, such as the Photobook, Chamber, and Catalogue editions, with varying price points and contents like member postcards and lyric sheets.

Bloggers share mixed feelings about album packaging, noting issues like scratches on PET covers for the "Special version" of EP "II" and expressing frustration over slow delivery from SM Entertainment for "Fame." Despite these concerns, fans appreciate the high-quality printed photos in some versions and the aesthetic appeal of elements like the pink color scheme in the "Fame" Photobook version, often leading them to purchase multiple copies to collect all photocards.
