RIIZE's prologue single 'Impossible' received attention from major foreign media. It was selected as the K-pop song that shone in the first half of this year.

Billboard recently announced 'Best K-Pop Songs of the First Half of 2024: Critics' Selection' (The 20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2024). RIIZE was also included.

Billboard introduced 'Impossible', saying, "It is a song that mixes strong Euro house beats with hopeful vocals. It evokes urgency and determination."

Billboard went on to point out in detail, "It is one of the most inspiring K-pop songs of the year. It stands out even more with the fast-spinning kick choreography."

The UK's NME also selected 'Impossible' as one of 'The 15 best K-pop songs of 2024 - so far'.

NME said, “RIIZE goes beyond the ordinary by depicting scenes of lively youth in music,” and added, “The ecstatic house track takes you into a dream on a summer day.”

When 'Impossible' was released last April, it received attention from various media outlets, including Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue, and Euphoria. Spotify recorded over 20 million cumulative streams.

The single was released before the release of the first mini album last April. The members tried house music for the first time. Rhythmic beats and synthesizers added a mysterious atmosphere.

Meanwhile, RIIZE will hold '2024 RIIZE Fan Con - RIIZING DAY FINALE in SEOUL' at the Casepo Dome in Songpa-gu, Seoul on September 14-15.
