SM Entertainment revealed that boy group RIIZE is gearing up for a much-anticipated comeback. The agency officially declared on March 6 that RIIZE is diligently preparing for their return to the music scene, with their comeback scheduled for April. Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the group’s next musical chapter, and the announcement has generated significant excitement within the K-pop community.
RIIZE, comprised of members Shotaro, Sungchan, Eunseok, Wonbin, Anton, and Sohee, has swiftly ascended the ranks of popularity since their debut. With a growing fan base and numerous accolades under their belt, the group aims to further solidify their presence in the industry with their upcoming comeback.
The second quarter of 2024 will witness the release of a new single and mini-album from RIIZE, adding to the group’s already impressive discography. As anticipation builds, fans can look forward to experiencing the group’s evolution and musical growth through these highly anticipated releases.
To mark their return, RIIZE has also unveiled plans for their first fan concert tour, titled “2024 RIIZE FAN-CON TOUR ‘RIIZING DAY.'” Commencing on May 4 and 5 at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul, the tour will take the group to nine different locations across the globe. RIIZE will engage with their dedicated fanbase in cities including Tokyo, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Taipei, Manila, Singapore, Bangkok, and Jakarta. Additional locations for the FanCon tour will be disclosed at a later date, promising a worldwide celebration of music and connection.
The decision to embark on a global fan concert tour demonstrates RIIZE’s commitment to fostering a deep connection with fans across diverse cultures. Through live performances, interactions, and shared experiences, the group aims to create unforgettable memories with their supporters, further solidifying the bond between RIIZE and their international fanbase.
In December of the previous year, RIIZE held their first fan meeting, “2023 RIZE 100 DAYS PARTY ‘Hello, BRIIZE,'” in Seoul to celebrate 100 days since their debut. The upcoming solo concert, “2024 RIIZE FAN-CON TOUR ‘RIIZING DAY,'” promises to be an even grander affair, taking place at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium—a larger venue that underscores RIIZE’s robust ticket-selling power.
Following the Seoul fan concert, RIIZE is poised to make history as the first K-pop group to grace the stage at Mexico’s largest pop festival, Tecate Emblema. The festival, scheduled for May 17-18 in Mexico City, boasts an impressive lineup that includes international luminaries such as Sam Smith, Christina Aguilera, Calvin Harris, Marshmello, and Moneskin.
