RIIZE Debuts First K-Drama OST with 'Behind The Shine' for '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife'

RIIZE, the rising K-pop group of 2023, is set to release their first-ever drama OST with '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife'. Member Anton, who gained attention even before debuting as the son of renowned musician Yoon Sang, adds to the group's intrigue.

Kakao Entertainment (Co-CEOs Go Jeong-hee and Jang Yoon-jung) announced that on Saturday, the 18th, at 6 PM, they will release 'Behind The Shine', Part 4 of the OST for MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife'.

'Behind The Shine' is a pop track that combines a gentle electric guitar melody with a dreamy atmosphere. The restrained sound is layered with the soft and emotional vocals of RIIZE members, enhancing the song's completeness. The lyrics, which convey unspoken sincerity, remind viewers of the protagonists' narratives, leaving a lasting impression. Lines like "Forgotten emotions pour down slowly" and "I'll be here quietly, reflecting only you" delicately expand the depth of the unfolding romance.

RIIZE has quickly expanded their global fandom with their powerful performances and distinct musical style, establishing themselves as a leading K-pop boy group. They have achieved significant milestones, such as becoming the fastest K-pop boy group to perform at Tokyo Dome, attracting 420,000 fans across 21 regions during their world tour, and being the first K-pop boy group to perform at 'Lollapalooza South America'. 'Behind The Shine' marks RIIZE's first participation in a K-drama OST, showcasing a more delicate and lyrical emotion that contrasts with their energetic stage presence, hinting at an expansion of their musical spectrum.

Airing every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM, MBC's '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' is set in a constitutional monarchy in 21st-century Korea, depicting a romance between two characters overcoming societal limitations. In the third episode aired yesterday (17th), the contract marriage between Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Lee An-dae-gun (played by Byun Woo-seok) began to take shape, heightening viewers' excitement with their chemistry. As the previously released OSTs for '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' have been praised for enhancing the show's emotional depth, anticipation is high for how RIIZE's 'Behind The Shine' will complement the drama's scenes and leave a strong impact.
