RIIZE Said 'Do Your Dance' and Took the Rookie Label Off Themselves
second mini 'II' landed mid-June — six tracks, led by a brisk hip-hop-tinged title. it's their first real comeback in about seven months and they came back sharper.
RIIZE named the mini 'II' and then made it an entire statement. six tracks, out june 15 at 6 p.m. KST, fronted by 'Do your dance' — an uptempo thing built on hip hop drums and electronic pop gloss that does not permit sitting still.
the rollout was a month of psychological warfare. the schedule poster went up may 22, then individual teasers rolled out one member per day from may 25 through may 30 — wonbin, eunseok, anton, shotaro, sungchan, sohee, in that order — before the mv teaser hit june 14 and the whole thing dropped the next evening.
the tracklist doesn't waste a slot either: 'SOAR' opens, 'Do Your Dance' takes the wheel, and 'D-D-Done,' 'Overdrive' and 'Like a Bomb' keep it moving before 'In a Loop' closes it out. six songs, no filler, no notes.
it's their first proper comeback in months and the difference is audible — sharper, more assured, leaning all the way into the performance-driven thing SM has been building the six of them toward since day one.
the rookie era is over, bestie. people can stop calling them the new boys now. 📈

seventeen's dino dropped 'LIKE IT' and the choreo is doing NUMBERS on my sanity
the group's resident dance machine went solo and turned the entire mv into one long flex
dino basically said 'you like it? good.' and then proceeded to body an entire music video by himself. 'LIKE IT' is out and the man is DANCING dancing.
the facts: it's a solo release from seventeen's maknae, it dropped august 24 at 6pm KST, and the mv is a straight-up showcase for the footwork he's been quietly hoarding since debut.
we always knew he could move — he's dino — but there's something a little unhinged about the youngest just deciding to out-perform everyone on his own solo. the confidence is EARNED, though.
new comfort choreo unlocked. i'll be rewatching until i can do exactly zero percent of it.
