Debuting on September 4, 2023, Rise began to promote Rise's own genre 'Emotional Pop', which expresses various emotions with its first single album 'Get a Guitar', boasting an explosive buzz with its energetic performance at the end-of-year music awards at home and abroad, and holding a total of eight trophies, including four awards for the Rookie of the Year, became the 'Best Newcomer' at the time.
In 2024, he rose to the rank of the rising music powerhouse with the single 「Love One Nine」 in January, followed by the release of his first mini album"Rising" in May to the first fan concert tour"Rising Day" in 19 regions around the world and the finale held at KSPO Dome in Seoul a year after his debut.
In particular, Rise is still proving the team color of 'growth and realization' this year. As he released his first full-length album 'Odisei' in May to record three consecutive million-sellers and career highs, and has been writing new growth history every moment with his first world tour 'Rising Loud' that visits 22 regions around the world since July, attention is focused on his future activities.
Next is the 2nd anniversary of LIZ's debut

SHOTARO: It's two years that will remain as a deep memory. I've grown a lot and I'm full of happy things! I still have vivid memories of my debut, but even when I think about it again, I feel lucky to have debuted with 'My team' Rise. Also, I think the meeting with BRIZE (official fan club name) made me feel better. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy the scenery that I didn't know before. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Eun-seok: Rise is celebrating its second anniversary, and we've made a lot of unforgettable memories. Now that I have more bonds with Breeze, I can't wait for more time to be together in the future.
SUNGCHAN: It's already been two years! Time feels really fast. In the meantime, time has gone by and grown a lot, and I think Breeze and I have become indispensable to each other. I want to spend the future better.
Won-bin: I can't believe it's our 2nd anniversary, but in a way, it's only been 2 years, so I'm excited about what else we can show. I'll have fun on stage so that the days ahead can remain as good memories!
So-hee: As I was busy running with the members and Breeze, I felt like time flew by. But it's still our 2nd anniversary. I feel like I've done a lot of things, but I still feel like I have a long way to go, and there are many things I want to achieve and do in the future.
Anton: Looking back, every moment remains as precious memories to me. I feel like Breeze is always watching me grow, and I think I'm moving forward more confidently because of Breeze. Breeze and Rise, it's only been 2 years now and we need to see each other for a long time to come, so I hope we can continue to be supportive of each other!
-In the meantime, when did you feel you grew the most, and in what way did you think you grew?
▶Shotaro: I think I've grown in every way… The biggest thing is that I learned how to enjoy it while performing on stage. If I only worked hard when I debuted, now I'm looking for my own color and enjoying it with Breeze. Of course, we need to grow further and we still have a lot of challenges, but our first fan concert and our first solo concert definitely helped us.
Eun-seok: Doing fan concerts, doing concerts, and experiencing many stages have helped me grow. In the past, I was very nervous and didn't have time when I was on stage, but recently, I felt like I had time. You can look forward to it more.
SUNGCHAN: My first world tour 'Rising Loud' gave me a lot of experience on stage. Thanks to this, not only performance but also more familiar comments, and I feel that I have grown in many ways.
Won-bin: I think growth feels in a different direction every day than in any moment. These days, when we have a concert, we naturally add ad-libs according to the energy and atmosphere we exchange with Breeze in that space, and I thought a better performance would come out. Still, it's too early to be satisfied because there are so many things I haven't shown yet.
So-hee: A lot of things happened, but I think I learned a lot when I was preparing for my first full album 'Odisei' after realizing a lot of things I didn't know. While doing this, I learned the mindset to have, the attitude toward the stage, and the importance of the fans.
Anton: I think I've grown a lot with the tour experience. I'm sure all the members are like that? Haha. Especially with this 'Rising Loud' tour, I think Rise is continuing to grow.

And the 3rd anniversary tarot. It's going to be a tarot with a different appearance, right? We have a strong Breeze next to us, so just look forward! Let's grow up
Eun-seok: A year ago, Eun-seok, there will be a lot of difficulties and good things in the future, so I hope you think it's an experience and enjoy it. Those who enjoy themselves are first in line. Eunseok, who is celebrating his 3rd anniversary, you must have made new memories and experiences by then, right? Are you healthy? I look forward to growing into a cool me.
SUNGCHAN: Let's be nice to those around us and be thankful and always be humble, SUNGCHAN! And a year later, SUNGCHAN! Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary, and thank you for your good performance so far. In the future, let's not lose our initial motivation and move forward more firmly with a grateful heart.
Won-bin: Won-bin from a year ago, you're a person who will do anything well when you get used to it, so relieve your worries!! A lot of people like you, so just trust you. Wonbin of the future, I hope you show a lot of yours now. Study more and practice die instead... I know it's never easy to get to your goal, but don't forget to grow up... Don't walk. Keep running.
So-hee, your body is like steel, right? No, listen to your teachers and take good care of them. And there will be more people who like your voice. More than anything else, I'm going to take care of it dearly. And give up hope for height. I think it's stopped. Sohee in the future, I'll take care of it so that you don't have a hard time... Don't act well so you don't regret a year ago. I'll make you what you are!
Anton: The 1st generation Anton. Hi, I'm Anton from the 2nd generation. It's still cute to see you worried and worried at the beginning of your debut. I still lack a lot and have a lot of thoughts on my own, but let's live by overcoming it as we always do. I look forward to the 3rd generation Anton.
