RIIZE - ANTON
The member ANTON of RIIZE captivates attention in a masterful conceptual video in the heart of nature, the prelude to a comeback with cinematographic ambitions.
On May 26, 2026, the agency SM Entertainment intensified expectations around RIIZE‘s project by publishing an official trailer centered on ANTON, titled “’II’ Trailer : Still Dreaming”. Lasting one minute thirty, this promotional short film breaks with classic formats to offer a true visual and sonic immersion.
The video opens with a striking close-up of ANTON with reddish-brown hair, his mysterious gaze facing the camera, bathed in a spring light. We then find him asleep, his bare back under the sun’s rays, before the setting opens up to vast wild landscapes: red dirt cliffs overlooking a rough sea. Equipped with recording devices and synthesizers set up right on the rock, ANTON captures the sounds of nature, creating a poetic transition where he plays the piano on a deserted beach. The trailer then shifts into an explosion of energy and freedom when the artist sets off green and pink colored smoke flares under an azure sky crossed by an airplane, before lying down, serene, facing the setting sun.
In parallel, a series of eight exclusive concept photos reinforces this duality between softness and wide-open spaces. The color shots immortalize ANTON in light and fluid outfits, exploring coastal paths or posing close to the skin, capturing an aesthetic both raw and pure that fits perfectly with the visual identity of the group.
The purpose of this publication is to introduce the sonic universe and the concept of this new chapter. Paced by an enchanting bassline and a haunting voice-over in English chanting “Somewhere down below, someone’s fighting just asleep… Why don’t you fly with me”, the video blends melancholy and electronic impulses. This trailer shows the artistic maturity of ANTON, who stands out here as a musician and an explorer within a particularly polished visual production by SM Entertainment.
The rendezvous with this new universe is now launched, promising profound moments of escape for the RIIZE community. The second mini-album of RIIZE “II” will be released this coming June 15.
