RIIZE is preparing for a comeback with a prologue single scheduled for October 26. This release is part of a busy October K-pop schedule, which local bloggers describe as a "comeback war" due to numerous groups returning. The announcement of RIIZE's upcoming music was made directly to fans during their 3rd-anniversary fan meeting, generating significant anticipation.
The prologue single, set for release on October 26, serves as a preview for their full 2nd album, which is planned for Spring 2027. This comeback news was shared at their "Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR" fan meeting held on September 12 and 13 at Incheon Inspire Arena. The fan meeting, which featured a 360-degree stage and a TV channel concept, sold out all seats, attracting over 23,000 fans over two days, and also saw sold-out Japanese fan meetings with 50,000 attendees.
Local bloggers note that RIIZE's ability to sell out a large-scale fan meeting at their 3-year mark indicates a strong and growing fandom. They suggest that announcing the comeback at this fan meeting was a strategic move to maintain fan engagement and carry momentum into their next activities. The timing, following a major holiday, is also seen as a common strategy in the K-pop industry to capture public attention.
