SEOUL, July 7 (Yonhap) -- Boy band RIIZE attracted over 31,000 fans during their first solo concert, "RIIZING LOUD," held from July 4 to 6 at the KSPO Dome (Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul’s Olympic Park, their agency SM Entertainment said Monday.
The group used the concert as a launchpad for a new chapter, expressing their ambition to rise even higher in their musical journey. The stage was transformed into a massive sailing ship, complete with two triangular LED structures measuring 21 meters in height and 11 meters in width, a large moving lift deck modeled after a ship’s deck, and a towering 8.7-meter sail installation.

RIIZE kicked off the concert with the high-energy track "Siren," followed by the youth-musical-inspired title track "Fly Up" from their studio album. They continued with a dreamy performance of "Midnight Mirage," sung from midair on a staircase, and "Get A Guitar," which opened with live electric guitar by member Wonbin and bass by Anton.
The group also performed hits such as "Boom Boom Bass," "Impossible," "Love 119," and "Memories," tracing the highlights of their nearly two-year journey since their 2023 debut.
“It’s our first solo concert, and it feels even more special because it’s just us and BRIIZE (the official fan club),” the group said. “There’s no place like a concert to feel truly energized.”
They added, “If there’s one thing that’s always certain in our journey without a map, it’s that our destination is always BRIIZE. The compass of RIIZE always points to BRIIZE. We hope you’ll continue to join us on every step of our journey.”
RIIZE will continue their tour in 14 cities worldwide, including Hyogo, Hiroshima, and Tokyo in Japan, as well as Hong Kong; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Taipei, Taiwan; Bangkok, Thailand; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Singapore.
