K-pop group RIIZE wrapped up their Seoul concerts with heartfelt messages to fans as they embarked on their first solo concert tour journey. 


Three-Day Seoul Success at Olympic Park 

On July 6th, RIIZE held the final show of their inaugural solo concert "2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR 'RIIZING LOUD'" at KSPODOME in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. The three-day concert series, which ran from July 4th to 6th, drew over 31,000 audience members, marking a significant milestone for the group just two years after their debut. 


Members Share Pre-Show Emotions 

Before taking the stage for their final Seoul performance, members expressed their mixed emotions about concluding their hometown shows. Shotaro reflected, "This is our third day of Seoul concerts. I feel nervous because it's the last day. We heard loud cheers from the opening, which made us excited. This is our beginning, and we'll run to the end, so please give us big cheers." 


Wonbin acknowledged the pressure of the final show, saying, "I was very nervous because it's the last performance. I wanted to do better, so my body was tense. I'll focus and perform well with sense. I'll be sexier, cuter, and cooler since it's the last day." 


Sungchan promised to give his all: "The last day of Seoul concerts has already come. I'll pour out all the feelings of everyone who waited and came to see us on stage. Let's create a fun time together." 


Odyssey-Inspired Concert Concept 

"RIIZING LOUD" represents RIIZE's declaration and ambition to embark on a new journey toward greater heights. The concert drew inspiration from the Greek classic "The Odyssey," reinterpreting RIIZE's music through five sections: beginning, joy and resistance, escape and liberation, expansion, and conclusion. 


The production design captured attention with its immersive staging. Triangular LED structures, kinetic stairs moving up and down in mid-air, sails, and large curtains created the impression of a massive sailing ship, richly depicting the beginning of RIIZE's musical voyage. 


Dynamic Performance Showcase 

RIIZE delivered on their promise to "pour everything out" with an energetic setlist. Opening with "Ember to Solar," they continued with "Siren," "Odyssey," and "Combo," immediately heating up the venue atmosphere. 


The group showcased their versatility with covers of TVXQ's debut song "Hug" and EXO's hit "Monster," alongside their own hits including "Talk Saxy," "Impossible," "Boom Boom Bass," and "Get A Guitar." A particular highlight was Wonbin and Anton's electric guitar and bass collaboration, which captivated the audience. 


Emotional Farewell Messages 

During their closing remarks, members became emotional while reflecting on their first solo concert experience. Eunseok summarized the concert as "forever," explaining, "It seems like it will remain in memory forever. I thought I'd be nervous before starting our first concert. Time seemed to pass quickly during the ending comments. Performing with BRIIZE was really enjoyable." 


Sohee's eyes welled up as he shared, "I was so happy for three days. It was such a precious time. I once said 'I wish this moment could last forever,' and it seems like a dream come true. We'll return as a grown RIIZE." 


Sungchan emphasized the significance of the moment: "This is the end, but also the beginning. I was so happy performing. I'm so grateful. I really can't believe it. The fact that BRIIZE filled every seat in this large venue for three days is unbelievable." 


Global Tour Ahead 

Following their successful Seoul debut, RIIZE will continue their "RIIZING LOUD" tour across 14 regions worldwide, including Hyogo, Hong Kong, Saitama, Hiroshima, Kuala Lumpur, Fukuoka, Taipei, Tokyo, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, and Macau. 


The emotional conclusion of their Seoul shows sets the stage for RIIZE's ambitious global journey, as they carry the momentum from their hometown success to international venues, promising fans worldwide the same level of energy and dedication they displayed in Seoul.
