K-pop boy group RIIZE is ready to show fans a softer, more emotional side with their new single, “Insomnia.”
According to SM Entertainment, RIIZE will release “Insomnia” at midnight on October 26. The new track features a melancholic acoustic pop sound, highlighting the heartfelt vocals of all six members.
RIIZE’s ‘Insomnia’ Captures Late-Night Emotions
“Insomnia” explores the complicated feelings that emerge when you find yourself thinking about someone more intensely as the night gets deeper.
With its gentle acoustic rhythm and emotional vocal delivery, the song offers a different atmosphere from the energetic performances RIIZE fans are familiar with. Rather than relying on powerful choreography, the members focus on expressing the song’s emotions through their voices.
The result is a warm, bittersweet track that captures the kind of feelings that are hard to put into words, especially during those quiet late-night hours.
Anton and Sohee Hope the Song Will Stay With Fans
RIIZE members Anton and Sohee shared their hopes for the new single.
Anton said he hopes “Insomnia” will become a song that people remember for a long time. He also believes music has the power to bring back memories and emotions from specific moments in our lives.
He hopes that when listeners play “Insomnia” years from now, they will naturally remember their experiences and memories from 2026.
Sohee also expressed his wish for the song to become one of the tracks people immediately associate with RIIZE’s vocals.
He hopes the song will resonate not only with BRIIZE, RIIZE’s official fandom, but also with a wider audience.
A New Challenge: Putting Vocals Before Performance
For RIIZE, “Insomnia” represents a new musical challenge.
The members explained that the song has a different mood from their previous releases, requiring them to focus on emotional expression rather than performance alone.
Shotaro revealed that he worked on his vocal techniques, tone, and rap delivery through vocal lessons. He also practiced harmonizing with the other members to make sure their voices blended naturally.
He said the process was rewarding because it gave him an opportunity to challenge himself in a new way.
Sungchan also shared his excitement about the track, saying he was drawn to its gentle sound and warm, emotional atmosphere from the moment he first heard the demo.
Because the song relies on the delicate details of the vocals over an acoustic rhythm, he paid close attention to tone, pronunciation, and emotional expression to make sure every lyric connected with listeners.
‘Insomnia’ Music Video Features a Story-Driven Concept
The music video for “Insomnia” was produced in a drama-style format, adding a narrative element to the song.
The members focused on their acting and emotional expressions to capture the track’s nostalgic, bittersweet mood.
For fans, this could be another opportunity to see RIIZE in a different light, highlighting not only their performance skills but also their ability to convey emotions through music and storytelling.
KOREA FBI Editor’s Comment
RIIZE has already shown that they can bring powerful energy and memorable performances to the K-pop scene. With “Insomnia,” I’m curious to see how fans respond to a softer sound that puts their vocals at the center.
Personally, I think songs that capture a specific moment or feeling can become especially meaningful over time. You might listen to a track today and, years later, find yourself remembering exactly what your life was like when you first heard it.
If “Insomnia” can create that kind of connection with listeners, it could become more than just another new release for BRIIZE.
Sometimes, a quiet song can leave the loudest impression. Let’s see if RIIZE’s “Insomnia” becomes one of those songs.
