“Filled with BRIIZE!” — RIIZE Draws 54,000 Fans at Sold-Out Saitama Shows
RIIZE (Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, Anton) successfully wrapped up their Saitama concerts, thrilling a total of 54,000 fans.
According to their agency SM Entertainment on July 25, the group’s ongoing 2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD] has been selling out every stop. The Saitama Super Arena shows, held on July 23–24, also sold out all seats during the fan club pre-sale alone. For these performances, the venue was expanded to stadium mode, allowing RIIZE to draw 54,000 attendees over two days. Achieving this feat just about 10 months after their local debut in Japan in September 2024, the group has once again proven their unstoppable momentum, extending their success far beyond Korea.
Amid roaring cheers, RIIZE performed 25 songs, ranging from the Japanese version of Love 119 to their first Japanese single tracks (Lucky, Be My Next, Same Key), as well as songs from their first full-length album such as Fly Up, Bag Bad Back, Midnight Mirage, and Another Life, earning an enthusiastic response from fans.
Closing the concert, the members shared, “It’s amazing to see such a large venue filled with BRIIZE (our official fan club). This is a moment we’ve dreamed of since before our debut, and it will remain a great memory. Just as BRIIZE knows how much effort we’ve put in, we also know how much support you’ve given us. Thank you for helping us complete this concert together.” They added, “RIIZE’s dream and goal is to perform in even bigger venues and meet more BRIIZE. Seeing your smiling faces and passionate cheers from the stage gives us incredible strength. We want to grow into even better artists and keep being with you. Please continue to support and watch over us.”
RIIZE will continue their first world tour with concerts at Hiroshima Green Arena on July 30–31.
