[talk] From winning eight awards at the Rise Awards to international acclaim! Here's Rise's year-end news for 2025.

We're happy to report that our Rise is wrapping up 2025 with flying colors! We won a whopping eight awards at year-end award ceremonies, and we're receiving rave reviews from influential international media outlets.

Especially at 'MMA 2025' on the 20th, he showed off perfect stages with 'Fame', 'Bag Bad Back', and 'Fly Up', and won 3 awards including 'Best Male Performance', 'TOP 10', and 'Millions TOP 10'. In addition to that, he swept 3 awards at 'AAA', 'MAMA AWARDS', and 'KGMA', so he swept a total of 8 trophies at major award ceremonies this year alone. It's really amazing.

Their albums have also been recognized. Their first full-length album, "ODYSSEY," released last May, was included on Billboard's list of "Best K-Pop Albums of 2025," and the track "Another Life" was selected by British magazine Clash as one of the "Songs Representing K-Pop in 2025." I'm so proud that Rise's musical perfection is being recognized overseas.

And on the 23rd, the first episode of the "2025 RIIZING Awards Night," featuring their own award ceremony concept, was released on their official YouTube channel. It was even more enjoyable because the awards were voted on by the members and fans. Part 2 will also be released on the 30th, so I'm looking forward to it.

You can see Rise's amazing performances on SBS's 'Gayo Daejun' on the 25th, KBS2's 'Music Bank Global Festival' on the 30th, and MBC's 'Gayo Daejejeon' on the 31st for the rest of the year, so be sure to watch them live!
