Today (27th) at 0:00, the trailer for the 2nd mini-album 'II', titled 'RIIZE 'II' Trailer: Still Dreaming', was released through RIIZE's official YouTube channel. It depicts Anton in a calm natural setting, creating music based on his own imagination, resembling a youth film. Above all, the BGM inserted in this trailer was directly produced by Anton, adding a special touch.

Along with this, a short-form content 'anton’s behind the scenes', composed of Anton's self-camera footage, was also released simultaneously, receiving a warm response from fans. RIIZE's 2nd mini-album 'II' will be released on June 15, and this album includes a total of six tracks, including the title song 'Do Your Dance'.
