RIIZE On Top: CLASH Meets K-Pop’s Next Gen Luminaries

The group’s dynamic unfolds naturally in real time: New Jersey-raised Anton acts as their unofficial spokesperson while stateside, and one by one the members settle into the conversation, eventually speaking in tandem and poking fun at one another. Strong interpersonal relationships are imperative to a K-pop group’s success, and it’s clear as we chat with them that they’ve developed a healthy sense of brotherhood and comfortable communication amongst one another—an especially important undertaking for a group with an introverted majority.

 

Anton also selects a song from ‘ODYSSEY’, choosing the album’s eponymous opening track. 

 

 

“We’ve never tried this style,” Shotaro hints. “It’s a little bit darker mood I think, overall,” Anton adds, offering up just a little more as a spoiler. “With every new release we obviously wanna show people and our fans that we can do something different… I think that’s the case with this next comeback as well, and hopefully people are excited and will enjoy what we have.”
