Sohee

Lee Sohee (이소희), performing as Sohee, is the main vocalist of RIIZE, the SM Entertainment boy group that became the fastest K-pop boy group ever to headline Tokyo Dome. Born November 21, 2003, in South Korea, he stands 176cm, carries an ISTP personality type, and is a Scorpio with blood type A. He joined SM as a trainee before debuting with the group at age 19. His vocal range, emotional delivery, and sensitivity quickly established him as the group's most distinctive voice and the emotional center of the live experience. Sohee's representative emoji is the palace guard (💂), a designation that originated from his own disclosure on RIIZE's official Instagram: his hair looks like a guard's cap every morning. His role model is EXO's Baekhyun, a vocal standard within SM that reflects where Sohee situates his own ambitions. Beyond the group, Sohee took on the role of MC for Mnet's M Countdown from January 11, 2025, alongside ZEROBASEONE's Sung Hanbin and BOYNEXTDOOR's Jaehyun. He stepped down from the position on February 27, 2025, to refocus on RIIZE's group activities as the group entered an intensive touring period. The MC role demonstrated his capability as a public-facing individual presence distinct from the group format. Sohee's contributions as main vocalist span the full scope of RIIZE's output, from the debut single "Get A Guitar" (2023) through "RIIZING" (2024) and "ODYSSEY" (2025) with its lead single "Fly Up." When the group completed its record-setting three-night run at Tokyo Dome in February 2026 before 120,000 fans, his vocal performances across the set were among the highlights captured and shared across platforms globally.
