There’s no stopping RIIZE. The rookie sensation just proved why they’re the K-pop industry’s hottest rising act — headlining their first solo concert tour, “RIIZING LOUD,” with 3 breathtaking nights at KSPO DOME from July 4 to 6.

Over 31,000 fans filled the stadium, including extra restricted-view seats sold out in seconds. RIIZE delivered a jaw-dropping 2.5-hour set, performing 24 tracks with live vocals, synchronized choreography, and cinematic stage production.

“This moment… I wish it could last forever.” – Sohee
“We’ll come back stronger after this tour.” – Eunseok


🚀 A Stage Like No Other: 5 Acts of Odyssey

The concert theme was inspired by The Odyssey, retold as RIIZE’s own artistic journey. The show was divided into 5 acts — Beginning, Joy, Resistance, Liberation, Closure — each with its own visual universe.

  • A giant 8.7m sail and triangular LED structure created a ship-like stage
  • A 40m circular water curtain rained down from 20m above
  • Moving staircases and lifts simulated a voyage across time and space

🎵 From Explosive to Emotional

The opening track “ENGULF” set the stage ablaze. From the fiery “SIREN” to the sleek performance of “IMPOSSIBLE”, RIIZE displayed charisma, control, and creativity.

They showed a softer side too:

  • 💙 “Memories,” “Lucky,” “Hug,” and “Love 119” highlighted their sweet charm
  • 🎭 For “Hug,” members performed skits on couches, bookshelves, and beds — fans swooned.

And they brought power back with:

  • Talk Sexy” for sultry stage presence
  • An EXO “Monster” cover that had fans roaring
  • A hit parade finale with “Get A Guitar,” “Boom Boom Bass,” and “Fly Up

🫶 Encore Moments & Fan Connection

RIIZE ended the night with emotional encore stages like “End of Every Day” and “Inside My Love,” locking eyes with fans while tears, sweat, and confetti filled the air.
