  2. "Bomb"
    Released: January 9, 2017

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.

Promotion and release

Prior to the mini-album's release, the single "Home Alone" was pre-released on January 4, 2017. Ravi also held three pre-release concerts in Seoul titled Ravi 1st Real-Live on January 6, 7, and 8, where he performed songs from R.eal1ze and his mixtape .

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. 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. An edited version of the music video (without the controversial scenes) was uploaded shortly after. Ravi promoted the album by performing "Bomb" on multiple music programs, including M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, Inkigayo, Show Champion, and Simply K-Pop.
