#1 TOP DEFINITION

리즈 — peak era. A person's prime time — when they looked, performed, or were most popular. Comes from the English football club 'Leeds United' in a meme context, but in Korean internet culture evolved to mean someone's best period. In K-pop, 'rijeu' refers to the comeback or era when an idol was at their absolute best — physically, vocally, or in terms of public profile.

Example
Fans argue endlessly about IU's rijeu — some say 'Good Day,' others say 'LILAC,' but most agree she's been in continuous rijeu since 2011.
