They also described the charm of the RIIZE track: "Especially 'Impossible' pierces through the musical panorama of K-pop like a timeless classic."

The American review specialist media 'Stereogum' also selected RIIZE's 'Impossible' in 'The Top 40 Pop Songs Of 2024.'

RIIZE was the only K-pop male artist to be listed. They introduced the song: "The high-energy garage house sound gives a fresh feeling."

In the UK, Dazed selected "Boom Boom Bass" in "The 50 best K-pop tracks of 2024."

The media said, "It shows RIIZE's high ambitions. You can feel the effort to make every moment better than before by stacking sounds and ad-libs."

They also added the charm of easy listening: "This is a good song no matter who sings it, but RIIZE made it a song that no one can easily follow," they analyzed.
