RIIZE, 'Talk Saxy' topicality also 'Rise'

The performance of RIIZE's new song 'Talk Saxy' is a hot topic every day.

RIIZE aired sequentially last week on KBS2TV's 'Music Bank' and MBC's 'Show! They appeared on music programs such as 'Music Core' and SBS' 'Inkigayo' and performed 'Talk Saxy', capturing the attention of viewers with the perfect harmony of three elements: addictive music, powerful performance, and old school styling. Got it.

In particular, the 'Talk Saxy' performance raised expectations as the members themselves foreshadowed an 'another level' performance that could be called a spin-off version of 'Siren', and RIIZE's unique hip mood and non-stop changing performance revealed on the actual stage. The fantastic team chemistry that shined even in the formation added to the fun of watching.

In addition, on the 28th, 'Performance37' content containing the 'Talk Saxy' performance from various angles was posted on the Mnet Digital Studio M2 YouTube channel and received a good response. At 12 noon today (30th), 'Talk' was uploaded on the YouTube RIIZE channel. A choreography practice video where you can check the details of Saxy's performance will also be released.

Since its release on October 27, RIIZE's single 'Talk Saxy' has ranked No. 1 on the iTunes Top Song Chart in Thailand, Vietnam, Peru, Uzbekistan, Macau, Belarus, Hungary, and Top 10 in 16 regions including Japan, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Norway, and Indonesia. It ranked first on Japan's AWA real-time rising chart.

Meanwhile, RIIZE swept the top spots on major album and music charts at home and abroad, proving their status as an 'another level' rookie in 2023.
