Riize announces dates for 1st tour
The boy band is set to visit 13 cities across Asia, including five in Japan, after kicking off the expedition in Seoul in July, under the title 'Riizing Loud.'
It will technically be the six-piece act's first such concert tour, although last year Riize visited 19 cities for its first fan concert tour, 'Riizing Day.'
The band also gave fans a taste of its upcoming first studio album, unveiling the music video for 'Bag Bad Back' on Thursday. The hip-hop tune is one of 10 tracks from the upcoming LP 'Odyssey,' which will be released May 19. The album comes about 11 months since its first EP, 'Riizing,' which topped iTunes albums charts in 10 regions and sold over 1 million copies.

SM's virtual artist Naevis to drop new track
11 months after debut track 'Done,' Naevis returns with new track K-pop powerhouse SM Entertainment's first virtual artist Naevis is gearing up for a return. Naevis will release her second single 'Sensitive' on Aug. 7 at noon. The new track comes approximately 11 months after her debut song 'Done,' which was released in September. According to SM Entertainment, 'Sensitive' is a pop dance track featuring a groovy, funk-infused bassline and soft, rhythmic vocals with a diverse structure and dynamic sound. The lyrics convey Naevis' emotional journey as she moves from the digital world to the real world for the first time. Naevis was first introduced as a central character of labelmate aespa's concept. While aespa members travel back and forth between the real and virtual worlds, Naevis supports both the real-life aespa members and their avatars, ae-aespa. Naevis performed "Done" ahead of its release during aespa's second world tour "Synk: Parallel Line" in June 2024. Her upcoming release 'Sensitive' was also prereleased during SM's joint concert 'The Culture, The Live' in January.
