RIIZE Donates 100 Million KRW to Support Youth Arts Education

On January 21, 2025, it was announced that the K-pop group RIIZE has made a significant contribution to the All Kids Orchestra, a cultural arts support initiative for children and youth, through their fan club BRIIZE. The donation amounts to 100 million KRW and aims to provide encouragement and hope to underprivileged youth as the new year begins. This generous act stems from the members' voluntary support.

Previously, RIIZE had also donated the proceeds from the sale of 'BRIIZE's Lime Ticon,' which was part of their first mini-album 'Rising,' in December 2024. With this latest donation, RIIZE has now contributed over 120 million KRW to support cultural and arts education for vulnerable youth, reinforcing their commitment to nurturing dreams and aspirations.

The All Kids Orchestra, operated by the social welfare organization 함께걷는아이들 (Walking Together), provides music education to underprivileged children and youth, fostering their personal and emotional growth. The orchestra's advanced wind ensemble showcases exceptional musical talent through various performances and regular concerts, offering valuable learning experiences.

The funds from this donation will be utilized to ensure that underprivileged children and youth can access cultural and artistic opportunities. This includes support for rehearsal space rentals, lessons, ensemble practices, and the organization of regular concerts.

In addition to this donation, RIIZE previously showed their support for the 12th All Kids Orchestra regular concert titled 'What Love Tells Me' held on November 20, 2024, where they sent warm messages to the orchestra members. Recently, they also released a remake of the song 'Hug' as a pre-release track for SM Entertainment's 30th-anniversary album, receiving positive feedback. RIIZE plans to continue engaging with their audience through music.

Kim Hyun-joo, the director of 함께걷는아이들, expressed gratitude, stating, 'Thanks to RIIZE's warm generosity, children and youth can learn music in a stable environment. We hope that the stories created by RIIZE, BRIIZE, and the All Kids Orchestra will bring hope to many more people.'
