RIIZE moved nearly a million copies of "II" before its first day on shelves was over — and in doing so, the group's second EP cleared every sales mark the act had set in under three years. The figure that anchors the story is a single Hanteo Chart number: 916,373.
916,373 Copies on Day One: What 'II' Actually Broke
RIIZE's second mini-album "II" sold 916,373 copies on its first day of release, according to Hanteo Chart data cited by Soompi . That total broke the group's previous first-day record of 805,985 copies, set in 2025 by their first full-length album "ODYSSEY" — an increase of more than 110,000 units over their prior best opening .
"II" is a six-track EP led by the title track "Do Your Dance," released June 15, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST . The comeback was announced in advance under the headline "Riize to return with second EP II in June," with The Korea Herald covering the release in its post-launch reporting . (The Korea Herald's release calendar lists June 16, a one-day gap that reflects differing conventions for marking an album's official street date rather than a substantive dispute.)
The release is the work of RIIZE's six-member lineup: Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee and Anton. The group has operated as a sextet since the October 2024 departure of former member Seunghan .
The steady escalation of RIIZE's opening-day numbers — now topping out at 916,373 copies for "II" — has been attributed primarily to two forces:
- Pre-order momentum, with strong advance demand setting up the record first-day figure.
- An expanding international fanbase, building on a debut in September 2023 and consistent commercial growth across each subsequent release .
Detailed first-day sales figures here derive from Soompi and STARNEWS reporting that cites Hanteo Chart data; a parallel research pass on June 26, 2026 confirmed the June 15 release via The Korea Herald but could not independently verify the granular Hanteo unit total within accessible sources, so the specific opening-day count should be read as single-source-trail reporting pending a Hanteo or label archive page.
Global Chart Footprint: iTunes, Hanteo, QQ Music, Melon
"II" did not stop at Korean physical sales. The EP topped Apple's iTunes "Top Albums" chart at No. 1 in at least five markets — Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Indonesia — and ranked in the top-selling tier across 14 regions worldwide, per The Korea Herald and Soompi. That spread spans Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia and beyond, pointing to demand that is regional rather than concentrated in a single market.
The clearest gains came in China and Japan. On QQ Music, "II" reached No. 1 on the digital album sales chart and earned platinum status with more than 1 million yuan in sales, while also ranking first on Tencent Music's integrated K-pop chart, per STARNEWS. In Japan, the EP topped AWA's real-time rising chart. That follows the group's Japanese single "All of You," which sold 287,000 physical units in its first Oricon tracking week ending February 22, 2026, with later monthly Oricon sales of 349,809 — a sign Japanese demand was already building ahead of the June EP.
At home, the title track "Do Your Dance" debuted at No. 1 on Bugs' real-time chart and entered Melon's Top 100 at No. 12, while "II" itself topped Hanteo's daily Global K-Chart ranking. The table below summarizes the platform-by-platform placements reported in the days after release.
| Platform / Chart | Region | Result |
|---|---|---|
| iTunes Top Albums | Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia | No. 1 in 5 markets; ranked in 14 regions total |
| QQ Music digital album sales | China | No. 1 · platinum (1M+ yuan) |
| Tencent Music integrated K-pop chart | China | No. 1 |
| AWA real-time rising | Japan | No. 1 |
| Bugs real-time | South Korea | No. 1 ("Do Your Dance") |
| Melon Top 100 | South Korea | No. 12 ("Do Your Dance") |
| Hanteo Global K-Chart (daily) | Global | No. 1 |
As with the first-day sales figures, the chart placements above trace primarily to Soompi and STARNEWS reporting; the iTunes region counts in particular should be read as single-source-trail data pending a platform or label archive page.
Four Releases, Four Million-Sellers: The Streak in Context
"II" became RIIZE's fourth consecutive release to pass one million cumulative copies, crossing that line by the end of June 18, 2026 KST — roughly three to four days after release — per Hanteo Chart data . Every album the six-member SM Entertainment group has issued since its September 2023 debut has now reached million-seller status, a record few fourth-generation acts can match under three years in.
The streak runs across each format the group has tried. The progression is consistent:
- Get A Guitar — debut single album, September 2023; first of the four million-sellers .
- Riizing — first mini-album, released June 17, 2024; debuted at No. 2 on South Korea's Circle Album Chart for the week of June 16–22, 2024 with 1,070,823 copies sold .
- ODYSSEY — first full-length album, released May 19, 2025; Korean cumulative sales of roughly 1.93 million copies .
- II — second mini-album, June 2026; fourth straight million-seller within its first week .
What separates "II" from a simple repeat is the opening-day trajectory underneath the headline. Each comeback has set a new group first-day record, and "II" pushed that figure to 916,373 copies — more than 110,000 units above the 805,985-copy mark "ODYSSEY" set in 2025 . A rising opening day, rather than a flat one, points to compounding pre-order demand: the fanbase is still expanding at the moment of release, not holding steady.
"RIIZE's 'II' has become the group's fourth album to sell over 1 million copies in its first week," Soompi reported, citing Hanteo Chart figures (source: Soompi, 2026-06).
The pattern is also visible outside Korea. The group's Japanese single "All of You" sold 287,000 physical units in its first Oricon tracking week ending February 22, 2026, with later monthly Oricon sales of 349,809 — evidence that the demand feeding the "II" opening was building across markets, not just at home.
Live Performances and Events: 'II' Comeback Schedule
RIIZE's first confirmed live stage for "II" was a performance of "Do Your Dance" on Mnet's "M Countdown" on June 18, 2026 — three days after the EP dropped and the same day the million-seller milestone was confirmed. That broadcast stage is the earliest live look at the comeback; the performance clip is available on the Mnet K-POP YouTube channel alongside the official music video for "Do Your Dance."
As of publication, SM Entertainment has not announced a world tour, domestic arena dates, or a standalone showcase tied to "II." Fan communities and K-pop concert trackers are watching for a summer or autumn announcement, given RIIZE's four-release million-seller streak and the strength of the "II" opening week — but no event dates are confirmed. Any official RIIZE concert or touring announcement will be noted here the moment SM or the group's management makes it public.
For streaming in the meantime: "II" is available globally on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music, and on Melon, Bugs and Genie in Korea — where "Do Your Dance" entered Melon's Top 100 at No. 12 and reached No. 1 on Bugs' real-time chart . In China it streams on QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music. Physical copies — the format behind the 916,373 first-day Hanteo total — are sold through Weverse Shop, Makestar and the SM Store.
