RIIZE Sets Midnight October 26 Release for Digital Single “Insomnia”

According to Soompi, RIIZE will release its digital single “Insomnia” at 12 AM KST on October 26, which is 7 PM UAE time on October 25. The group began its teasers on October 18, and a music video teaser along with a fresh set of images followed on October 25 KST, giving fans their first detailed look at the comeback before the song goes live.

The promotion schedule was published on October 19, laying out the steps that lead up to the release. Soompi also points readers to the variety show BOSS RIIZE and an episode of Idol Festa Attack on Viki, so fans have more RIIZE content to watch while they wait for the single.

“Insomnia” is a standalone digital single rather than a full album, which makes it a shorter, faster release. It also sits ahead of bigger plans the group has already confirmed. Soompi reports that RIIZE is preparing its second full-length album, EMOTIION, for spring 2027, so this single works as a lead-in to that project.

Teaser content has been the main source of detail so far, and the group has kept its focus on the single’s visuals and mood. Fans who follow RIIZE closely will want to watch the teaser carefully, since the imagery and timing are the clearest signals of what the song will feel like before the full track is out.

The release is a quick reminder of how often RIIZE has kept its schedule active this year. Between variety appearances, teasers and a new single in the same month, the group is keeping its name in front of listeners ahead of the larger album cycle in 2027. Anyone planning to listen on the day should note the midnight Korean time, since it falls on the evening of October 25 in the UAE and the single will be available on the major platforms once it drops.
