RIIZE is preparing for their highly anticipated first solo concert, marking a major milestone in their career.

Titled '2025 RIIZE Concert Tour – RIIZING LOUD,' the concert will be held from July 4 to 6 at KSPO Dome in Seoul’s Olympic Park. All tickets, including restricted-view seats that were released later, sold out through fan club pre-sales, demonstrating the group’s impressive ticket power.

With just days remaining before the show, the members are fully immersed in rehearsals. They are determined to present a flawless and powerful performance. In a recent Q&A, the members opened up about their thoughts, preparation, and excitement for the concert.

Q. What were some of the most repeated or memorable phrases you shared while preparing for the concert?

Shotaro said they reminded each other to bring their fierce energy, just like they did at the '2023 MAMA' performance. He recalled a striking moment when Eunseok, who usually brushed off challenges with a cheerful “So easy~,” suddenly said, “Wow… is this even possible?”

Eunseok shared that their conversations during practice have centered around doing their best and creating a concert that fans would want to come back to. That determination has stayed with him.

Sungchan mentioned that during tough moments on tour, they agreed not to avoid challenges but to face them head-on. They want to give fans both emotion and fun on stage.

Wonbin pointed out that unlike last year’s fan concert, which included games and talk segments, this show will focus entirely on performances. That led to many discussions about maintaining their stamina.

Sohee recalled a team meeting where they talked about the purpose of the concert and the mindset needed. That discussion helped him approach every performance with the same level of focus and excitement.

Anton said that after so many rehearsals, the sense of performing a full concert didn’t feel real at times. One day, they gathered to reset their mindset and reminded themselves that their goal is to give their all.

Q. If you had to spoil the concert in just six Korean syllables, what would you say?

Shotaro suggested “Our fierce madness” or “Complete gift set.”

Eunseok said “Odyssey begins.”

Seunghan responded with “Another concert.”

Wonbin chose “Dopamine fully charged.”

Sohee said “The world will roar,” promising a loud and exciting tour.

Anton simply said “We are RIIZE.”

Q. Since this concert will become a world tour, what are you doing to prepare or what are you looking forward to?


Shotaro said he has been studying English whenever he has time, using short-form videos to improve his listening. He hopes to use more English this year and has also taken up running to improve his stamina.

Eunseok emphasized the importance of stamina and said he has been working out regularly.

Seunghan is also focusing on building physical strength and studying Japanese.

Wonbin shared that he is working on his stamina and learning various languages for the tour. He also mentioned that he has looked up many delicious local foods to try along the way.

Sohee said the number of songs they will perform has increased, so he is focusing on his endurance. He is also learning different languages to better communicate with fans.

Anton expressed his excitement about traveling and connecting with BRIIZE around the world. He looks forward to seeing different cultures and meeting fans face-to-face again.

Q. A message to BRIIZE who are eagerly waiting for the concert

Shotaro promised to give his all so that no fan leaves disappointed and added that RIIZE and BRIIZE should go all in together.

Eunseok encouraged fans to look forward to the show, saying they are preparing hard for it.

Seunghan invited BRIIZE to join them in opening a new chapter for RIIZE at the concert.

Wonbin said he hopes all the effort they’ve put in reaches the fans and that they will deliver a fantastic performance. He asked fans to get excited.

Sohee reminded fans that the concert is just around the corner and said they will exceed all expectations. He invited everyone to become one through the performance.

Anton acknowledged that both the fans and the group are equally excited. He said the concert tour is filled entirely with their own music and that every bit of effort is for BRIIZE. He hopes fans enjoy the show and spread the word. He ended by saying, “Let’s keep rising together.”
