RIIZE is preparing for another new chapter, with the group set to release a new digital single on October 26, 2026, before returning with their second full-length album in spring 2027.
The upcoming releases were announced during RIIZE‘s third-anniversary fan meeting, “Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR,” held at Incheon’s INSPIRE Arena on September 12 and 13. The announcement gives fans a preview of the group’s activities for the remainder of 2026 and into the following year.
RIIZE Sets October 26 for New Digital Single
The first part of RIIZE‘s upcoming release plan will arrive on October 26, 2026.
Rather than serving as the group’s next full album, the October release has been described as a prologue single leading into their next major album project.
As of the initial announcement, details such as the single’s title, track information, concept, and promotional schedule had not yet been fully revealed.
The release will follow RIIZE‘s activities throughout 2026, including their second mini album II and their Japanese single Sunburst.
Second Full-Length Album Coming in Spring 2027
Following the October single, RIIZE will continue the rollout toward their second full-length album, which is scheduled for spring 2027.
The upcoming album will follow ODYSSEY, RIIZE‘s first full-length album, which was released in May 2025.
SM Entertainment has not yet announced a specific release date for the 2027 album. Additional information about its title, tracklist, lead single, and concept is expected to be revealed as the album campaign progresses.
Announcement Made During RIIZE‘s Third Anniversary Fan Meeting
RIIZE shared the news at their third-anniversary fan meeting, “Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR.”
The two-day event took place at Incheon Inspire Arena and was sold out, with reports putting total attendance at approximately 23,000 fans across the two days.
The fan meeting featured performances of several RIIZE songs, including “Get A Guitar,” “Fly Up,” and “Do Your Dance,” alongside individual stages and other special performances.
The upcoming release announcement was presented toward the end of the event, giving fans a look at what RIIZE has planned following their third anniversary.
What to Expect From RIIZE‘s Upcoming Activities
The October single is expected to begin a longer promotional period leading into the group’s 2027 album.
With the prologue release scheduled for October and the full-length album planned for spring, RIIZE‘s upcoming era will unfold across several months rather than being limited to a single comeback period.
For now, fans can look forward to the October 26 release while waiting for further announcements about the group’s second full-length album.
