RIIZE Shines Bright at Saitama Concert, Drawing 54,000 Fans

The K-pop group RIIZE, under SM Entertainment, has successfully concluded their concert in Saitama, Japan, attracting an impressive audience of 54,000 fans. This event is part of their ongoing '2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD]', which has been marked by a series of sold-out shows. The concert took place on July 23-24 at the Saitama Super Arena, where tickets were sold out exclusively through fan club pre-sales.

The concert was particularly notable as the venue was expanded to stadium mode, showcasing RIIZE's rapid rise since their debut in Japan in September 2024. In just ten months, the group has proven their ability to captivate audiences both domestically and internationally.

Performing to the cheers of thousands, RIIZE delivered a dynamic setlist of 25 songs, including the Japanese version of 'Love 119' (러브 원원나인), their debut single tracks 'Lucky' (럭키), 'Be My Next' (비 마이 넥스트), and 'Same Key' (세임 키), as well as tracks from their first album like 'Fly Up' (플라이 업), 'Bag Bad Back' (백 배드 백), 'Midnight Mirage' (미드나이트 미라지), and 'Another Life' (어나더 라이프).

After the concert, the members expressed their gratitude, saying, "It’s amazing to see such a large venue filled with our fans, BRIIZE. This is a moment we’ve dreamed of since before our debut, and it will remain a cherished memory. We appreciate all the support from BRIIZE, and we are thankful for your help in making this concert a success."

They added, "Our dream and goal as RIIZE is to perform in larger venues and meet more BRIIZE fans. Seeing our fans cheering for us with smiles from the audience gives us immense strength. We want to grow into even better artists and continue to share our journey with you. We hope you will always support and watch over us."

RIIZE will continue their momentum with their first world tour, set to take place at Hiroshima Green Arena on July 30-31.
