I'm glad to hear the news about the drama-style music video for Rise's Insomnia.

News has emerged that RISE will be presenting the music video for their new single, "Insomnia," in a drama format. According to the announcement released on October 22, the six members delivered emotional performances tailored to their respective characters. It seems we will be able to see them in a different way than what we usually see on stage through singing and choreography. Since I haven't seen the full video yet, I cannot discuss specific scenes, but the story-driven structure was the first thing that caught my eye.

This time, there are elements to explore alongside the music. It is said that writer Cheon Seon-ran penned the side story and artist Noma contributed illustrations. Since the song and video are connected through text and art, I think it will be fun to see how the individual stories unfold step by step after the release. I am more curious to see what kind of atmosphere they created together in the actual final product, rather than just seeing a collaboration where only names are listed.

The members' acting is another aspect I want to examine in this reveal. Since even a brief change in facial expression or gaze can alter the impression of a scene, I find myself wondering how it might differ from the expressions we usually see in their performances. That said, I do not want to judge the level of perfection or the reaction before the release. I think it would be better to wait, knowing the announced format, and then verify it within the overall flow.

The single release is scheduled for October 26th. I would also like to note that this is not a review of a song that has already been released, but rather news regarding upcoming music and videos. This time, I am curious to see how the experience will differ when listening to the song and watching the video compared to listening again after knowing the story. While waiting for Rise's new activities, I plan to take a calm look at the released announcements first.
