Checked October 26, 2026, at 8:02 p.m. KST, before the scheduled livestream.
RIIZE’s new single “Insomnia” is out, and the group’s Sleepless Night Live is scheduled for 11 p.m. KST on October 26. Release announcement; livestream notice.
1. When did Insomnia come out in the US and UK?
RIIZE’s official Japanese site confirms a midnight October 26 release. Japan and South Korea share the same UTC+9 offset, so the equivalent Western times fell on Sunday, October 25:
| Location | Equivalent release time |
|---|---|
| New York | October 25, 11 a.m. EDT |
| Los Angeles | October 25, 8 a.m. PDT |
| London | October 25, 3 p.m. GMT |
| Seoul / Tokyo | October 26, midnight KST / JST |
These are conversions of the announced release moment. The UK had returned to GMT earlier that Sunday, while the United States was still observing daylight time.
2. Where are the official song and music video?
The release announcement links directly to the “Insomnia” music video and an official listening hub. Start there to choose your music service. The video and the later livestream are separate uploads; the music video is the one to open for the song now.
3. What kind of release is Insomnia?
It is a single, rather than RIIZE’s next full album. The label-supplied album introduction on Melon describes it as a prelude to a second studio album planned for spring 2027.
The same introduction describes an acoustic-pop track built around guitar and the six members’ vocals, with a theme of thoughts about another person growing stronger through a sleepless night. Its credits name Kim Eana as the Korean lyricist, with The Stereotypes and August Rigo handling the arrangement.
Melon’s release feature presents the music video as a dramatized story involving the members. Watching it after an audio-only listen offers two ways into the release: first the vocal performance, then the characters and visual narrative.
4. What time is Sleepless Night Live in the US and UK?
The official Weverse announcement schedules the broadcast for October 26 at 11 p.m. KST on RIIZE’s YouTube channel. The corresponding times are:
| Location | Monday, October 26 |
|---|---|
| New York | 10 a.m. EDT |
| Los Angeles | 7 a.m. PDT |
| London | 2 p.m. GMT |
| Seoul | 11 p.m. KST |
Open the official RIIZE channel near the announced start and look for RIIZE into INSOMNIA: Sleepless Night Live. The notice does not promise English captions or a permanent replay, so neither is confirmed in this guide.
5. Is the Seoul exhibition the same event?
The official in-person event notice separates the two. October 26 has mini-live sessions, with the later session scheduled for streaming. Exhibition viewing begins October 27, so the broader October 26–29 event dates do not mean the exhibition is open on all four days.
In-person membership sessions required advance applications and identification checks. For readers watching from abroad, the announced YouTube broadcast is the relevant option; the Seoul attendance instructions concern admission to the venue.
