RIIZE Concert in Seoul sets the stage on fire - Fans create an unforgettable moment by singing 'Love 119' with their idols
RIIZE's Seoul Concert Sells Out and Fans Bring the House Down If you've ever wondered what pure K-pop energy looks like, RIIZE just gave Seoul the ultimate answer. On July 6, 2025, RIIZE took over the KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul, for their first-ever solo concert, '2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD]'. The hype? Unreal. All seats, including those with restricted views, were snapped up faster than you can say "stan RIIZE." For three days straight, the venue was packed with the group's loyal fandom, BRIIZE, who showed up ready to scream, sing, and vibe. RIIZE performed bangers from their first full album 'ODYSSEY', including the title track 'Fly Up'. But the real showstopper? 'Love 119', a song that's been a fan favorite since January last year, turned the whole dome into one massive singalong. The emotional energy was so thick you could practically feel it in the air. Love 119 Singalong Leaves RIIZE Members Speechless After performing 'Love 119', the members of RIIZE were visibly blown away. They couldn't hide their shock and gratitude at how loud and passionate the fans were. "That singalong was insane," one member said, while another admitted, "I got goosebumps, it was so moving." It wasn't just noise-it was a tidal wave of support that hit the boys right in the feels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investigadora argentina revela hallazgos sobre el magnesio Salud Esencial Leer más Undo Moments like these are what make concerts unforgettable.

Sungchan and Wonbin are grinding on their Japanese and hitting the gym. Sohee and Anton are also putting in the work to make sure every performance is next-level. The boys promised fans, "This concert is our way of showing how fierce we can be," and "We want everyone to walk out wanting to come back for more." They also sent a heartfelt message: "We've waited a long time for this, so we'll give it everything we've got-you won't regret it." RIIZE's first solo concert wasn't just a show-it was a full-blown celebration of music, fandom, and youth energy. If you've ever been to a concert in Mumbai or Delhi where everyone's singing together, you know exactly how RIIZE and BRIIZE felt in that moment. Music has this crazy power to unite people, no matter where you're from.

Riize releases first studio album 'Odyssey', to perform in KL in July
Riize, under SM Entertainment, made a long-awaited return last week with its first full-length album, Odyssey , coming nearly 11 months since the band's debut. The album, according to the group, defines their identity and reflects their ongoing journey of growth. "If someone were to ask, 'What kind of group is Riize?' I think this album would be enough to answer that," Wonbin said at a media showcase in Seoul on Monday. It continues our Real-Time Odyssey concept and contains the footprints and stories of Riize's growth, Sohee added. You'll feel that clearly in every track. Odyssey builds on the group's signature concept of documenting their path in real time — what they call a Real-Time Odyssey — and captures their nonstop evolution as they approach their second debut anniversary this year. Odyssey builds on the group's signature concept of documenting their path in real time The album includes 10 tracks that embody Riize's signature sound, which they describe as emotional pop. Arranged to reflect both external ambition and internal reflection, the track list draws from the members' personal experiences and emotions. Fly Up is a dynamic dance track that channels the energy of 1950s rock 'n' roll. Backed by powerful rhythms and choir vocals, the song conveys the group's desire to unite listeners. "Fly Up means that anyone can become one through our music, regardless of age, nationality or gender," Sohee said. Wonbin added, "When I first heard the song, I immediately thought it was great. It also reminded me of Get a Guitar . I felt confident we could pull it off. The performance is also really good." Speaking about the choreography, Sungchan said, "Our performance has a musical-like structure. There's a lot to watch. Each member has their own killing point in the choreography, so your eyes will stay busy. And just like the title suggests, there are jump movements and gestures that resemble flying." The album includes 10 tracks that embody Riize's signature sound, which they describe as emotional pop. As their first studio album, Odyssey also presented new challenges for the group. "There were definitely more songs than in our previous releases, and a lot of new genres we hadn't tried before," said Eunseok. "It was difficult at times, but thankfully, the people around us helped us a lot, and I think it turned out well." Wonbin noted that while he personally enjoys R&B and ballads, tackling the album's hip-hop elements was a challenge. "Hip-hop is a difficult genre for me, so singing those parts wasn't easy," he said. Following the release, Riize will embark on its first world tour under the title 2025 Riize Concert Tour Riizing Loud. Kicking off in Seoul in July, the tour takes the group to 14 cities across Asia, including Hyogo prefecture in Japan, Hong Kong, Saitama and Hiroshima in Japan, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Fukuoka in Japan again, Taiwan capital Taipei, Tokyo, Bangkok, Indonesian capital Jakarta, Manila in the Philippines, Singapore and Macao, through February 2026. Looking ahead to the tour, Shotaro said, Now that we have more songs through this album, I hope we can enjoy them with Briize (Riize's fandom) around the world. I'd love for us to create a lively space together, just for us and our global Briize. — The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
