K-pop boy band Riize heading to Singapore for Jan 2026 show
The sextet unveiled a poster showing the cities they will be touring on their social media accounts on May 1.
They will begin in Seoul for a three-day run from July 4 to 6, before travelling to other cities such as Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Tokyo, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila.
Riize will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Jan 24, 2026. Ticketing details have not been announced.
They previously staged a gig at the Singapore Expo in July 2024 as part of their Riizing Day tour.
Riize originally consisted of seven members: Anton, Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Seunghan and Sohee.
They made their debut with their first single, Get A Guitar, in September 2023 and released their first EP, Riizing, in June 2024.
They are scheduled to release their first full-length album, Odyssey, on May 19.
Seunghan, now 21, went on an extended hiatus in November 2023 after a picture of him kissing a woman was leaked prior to his debut.
The group's agency SM Entertainment made an official announcement about the singer's return to the group in October 2024, before walking back the decision two days later due to backlash from fans.
