RIIZE’s Wonbin and singer-songwriter Leroy Sanchez have finally come together for a long-awaited musical collaboration that has fans buzzing with excitement.
Leroy Sanchez Finally Meets RIIZE Member Wonbin
The special moment was first teased nearly eight months ago, when Wonbin posted a heartfelt guitar cover of Sanchez’s emotional ballad “Don’t Let Me Down.” The cover, shared in September 2024, quickly caught Leroy’s attention, prompting the artist to repost it on social media with the caption, “Wow this is amazing!! Honored,” sparking hopes for a future duet between the two.
Fast forward to May 14 (local time), those hopes became reality. Leroy Sanchez shared a video of himself and Wonbin performing a short but soulful duet of “Don’t Let Me Down”. The short video was also shot in Los Angeles.
In the video, the two musicians also harmonize beautifully, blending Leroy’s rich tone with Wonbin’s warm vocals and acoustic guitar. With evident joy, Leroy captioned the clip, “WONBIN! We finally did it!!” expressing his excitement over the long-anticipated meeting.
Their impromptu jam session wasn’t the only highlight of the weekend. Leroy was also in town for SMTOWN LIVE 2025 in LA, where he had the chance to meet the rest of RIIZE. He later posted a cheerful group photo with the members, showing their growing friendship and mutual respect as artists.
This unexpected but touching collaboration has only heightened anticipation for RIIZE’s upcoming comeback. The group is set to release their first full-length album “ODYSSEY” on May 19, marking a major milestone in their career. With Wonbin’s musical talents continuing to shine and meaningful connections like this blossoming, fans are eager to see what lies ahead.
The heartwarming duet between Wonbin and Leroy is not only a testament to music’s power to connect people across the globe but also a special moment fans won’t soon forget.
