2025년 라이즈 정말 열심히 활동 했어요. 이번년도에도 기대 많이 하고 있습니다.
[talk] I think Rise successfully completed many activities in 2025.
Looking at Rise's recent activities, the first thing that comes to mind is that they've been incredibly busy this year. 2025 has been a significant year for Rise in many ways. They released their first full-length album, "Odyssey," in May of this year, truly showcasing their team's unique style, and their promotions have centered around that album. The album features tracks with a variety of moods, including the title track "Fly Up," but overall, it feels like a unified flow. It's no wonder they say you can get a sense of what kind of team Rise is just by listening to this album.
The members also seemed to have a deep affection for this album. Won Bin said it was a work that explained Rise, and Anton said it felt like the beginning of their journey. While there must have been some pressure preparing for their first full-length album, it also seemed like they gained a lot of confidence. Rather than sounding like mere marketing, those words felt more convincing because they had actually accomplished it.
In November, they released the single "Fame," changing the mood once again. Their music and performances were a bit more intense than before, and they were frequently mentioned at year-end performances. It felt like they were trying to go beyond their bright and youthful image and show a different side of themselves. Their energy on stage was also noticeable, and the phrase "fun to watch" truly suited them.
We're also rapidly accumulating stage experience. We began our first world tour in July, performing in various cities across Seoul, Japan, Asia, and North America. Considering the size of the venues and the locations, we're moving at a rapid pace. We've also gained experience performing on large-scale festival stages, and we've heard good things about the local response overseas.
Their upcoming schedule looks quite packed. They're scheduled to perform at the Tokyo Dome next year, and they'll also be concluding their tour in Seoul. They're also planning to perform at a major music festival in South America, so their scope of activity seems set to expand even further. It's impressive how far they've come in such a short time since their debut.
Chart performances and awards have continued to come through consistently. Album sales, streaming performance, and year-end award ceremonies demonstrate how often Rise has been featured this year. International media outlets have also mentioned Rise's music, confirming their growing interest in various countries.
Looking at it this way, Rise's recent activities are less a single event and more a flow formed by a series of events. The album, stage, tour, and next schedule are all connected naturally. As the year progresses, it's exciting to see how far Rise will go and what kind of image they'll present next.
