R.eal1ze (stylized as R.EAL1ZE) is the first mini-album by South Korean rapper Ravi. The full mini-album was released on January 9, 2017, under the label of Jellyfish Entertainment. [1]
Prior to the mini-album's release, the single "Home Alone" was pre-released on January 4, 2017. [1] Ravi also held three pre-release concerts in Seoul titled Ravi 1st Real-Live [R.eal1ze] on January 6, 7, and 8, where he performed songs from R.eal1ze and his mixtape [R.ebirth]. [2]
R.eal1ze was released in its entirety on January 9, 2017. A music video for its lead single "Bomb", directed by production company Vikings League, was released on the same day as the full mini-album. [3] [4] However, within hours of the music video's release, it attracted controversy; viewers made accusations of misogyny and objectification of women due to the presence of women in lingerie throughout the video. Ravi and Jellyfish Entertainment apologized and deleted the video. [5] [6] An edited version of the music video (without the controversial scenes) was uploaded shortly after. [3] Ravi promoted the album by performing "Bomb" on multiple music programs, including M Countdown , [7] Music Bank , [8] Show! Music Core , [9] Inkigayo , [10] Show Champion , [11] and Simply K-Pop . [12]
