If you’re a K-pop enthusiast, you’ve probably heard of Sungchan and Shotaro’s departure from their former group NCT and their subsequent inclusion in the “5th generation group” from the same company. They have already ignited the idol music scene with their pre-debut songs “Siren” and “Memories,” generating significant buzz and traction, alongside fellow members Seunghan, Eunseok, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton.

The seven-member group made a refreshing debut on Sept. 4 with their first single “Get A Guitar” alongside its eponymous title track’s music video.

The debut song is a pop track infused with vintage synthesizer melodies and a funky guitar rhythm. The lyrics are about the idea of the septet convening together in response to the strums of the guitar and finding mutual understanding through music.

During their debut showcase, Riize announced that their fans would be collectively referred to as “Sunz.”
