The ″RRR″ collaboration between K-pop boy band Riize and Kakao characters Ryan and Choonsik [SM ENTERTAINMENT]


Cute meets cute in the latest collaboration between K-pop boy band Riize and Kakao's iconic characters Ryan and Choonsik in a project titled "RRR."

Six new characters have been created by the six-member boy band Riize — one for each member. They will join Kakao's two famed characters in new content to come under the title, according to SM Entertainment.

The collaboration will include a short cartoon series titled "How to Fly," as well as video content and a special "RRR" edition of Riize's upcoming album "Riizing" set for release in June.

Riize debuted as a seven-member band on Sept. 4 last year with its first single “Get a Guitar.” Member Seunghan has been on an "indefinite" hiatus since November last year.

The band is currently gearing up for its fan concert tour, "Riizing Day," which will start with two concerts in Seoul on May 4 and 5.
