RIIZE kicked off their first world tour with a Seoul performance in July, followed by shows in Hyogo, Hong Kong, Saitama, Hiroshima, Kuala Lumpur, Fukuoka, Taipei, Tokyo, and Bangkok. They then performed in Rosemont, USA on 30th October (all times local), followed by New York on 1st November, Washington D.C. on 2nd November, Seattle on 7th November, San Francisco on 9th November, LA on 11th November, and Mexico City on 14th November.
Particularly at the New York show, the members revealed, "We're thrilled to be in Anton's hometown, the 'New Jersey Boy'," and when they shouted "Welcome home" together with the audience, Anton remarked, "It feels like a dream come true," drawing attention. Having completed their North American leg, they shared, "We were worried about performing well in all these new places, but fuelled by the energy of BRIIZE (official fan club name), we were able to enjoy the stage. It will be an unforgettable memory."
RIIZE heated up the venue's atmosphere through uniquely structured stages. These included ‘Fly Up’ featuring random freestyle dance segments by individual members, a hand-mic choreography version of ‘Siren’ with an elevated hip groove, and ‘Show Me Love’ with its captivating sing-along part performed with fans.
They performed a total of 22 songs, including tracks from their first full album such as ‘Ember to Solar’, ‘Bag Bad Back’, ‘Midnight Mirage’ and ‘Another Life’, alongside previously released songs like ‘Get A Guitar’, ‘Talk Saxy’, ‘Love 119’ and ‘Boom Bass’.
Furthermore, numerous local media outlets, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Forbes, and The Hollywood Reporter, attended the performance in person, demonstrating significant interest in RIIZE.
Meanwhile, RIIZE will release their single ‘Fame’ on 24th November. Ahead of this, they are holding a special exhibition titled "Silence: Inside the Fame" at the Ilmin Museum of Art in Jongno District, Seoul, starting today (16th).
