RIIZE RIIZING LOUD Concert Seoul 2025: 31,000 Fans Witness Epic KSPO Dome Debut
RIIZE's first solo concert tour launched with three sold-out nights at Seoul's KSPO Dome, proving the six-member group has arrived as K-pop's next big thing.
The SM Entertainment boy group wrapped up their Seoul leg of "RIIZING LOUD" on July 6, drawing over 31,000 fans across three completely sold-out shows. Even restricted-view seats were gone, highlighting RIIZE's incredible ticket-selling power just two years after their 2023 debut.
The concert's nautical theme turned the venue into a massive sailing ship. Two 21-meter-tall triangular LED structures dominated the stage, connected by moving staircases that floated between them. A deck-like lift platform and towering 8.7-meter sail completed the maritime illusion, while a 40-meter water curtain cascaded from 20 meters above.
This wasn't just flashy production-it perfectly matched the show's concept. Taking inspiration from Homer's "Odyssey," RIIZE structured their performance around five chapters: Beginning, Joy, Resistance and Escape, Liberation and Expansion, and Conclusion.
The night kicked off with "Siren," followed by tracks from their debut album "ODYSSEY" including "Fly Up" and "Midnight Mirage." But the real magic happened during "Love 119," where fan chants blended seamlessly with the group's vocals, creating an arena-wide sing-along.
RIIZE made smart use of their extended stage, regularly moving closer to fans during songs like "Be My Next" and the Korean version of "Lucky." The six members-Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton-showed their versatility with everything from intense choreography to acoustic guitar duets.
Two cover performances stood out: their take on EXO's "Monster" and TVXQ's "HUG." These weren't just tribute acts-RIIZE made both songs their own while showing respect for their SM Entertainment seniors.
The emotional peak came during "Another Life," which Anton described as containing "the members' stories." As the main show ended, fans refused to leave, chanting for an encore until the group returned for three additional songs.
Following Seoul, RIIZE's "RIIZING LOUD" tour continues to 14 cities across Asia, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, and Singapore. The tour supports their first full-length album and marks a major step up from their 2024 "RIIZING DAY" fan-concert series.
At the final show, the members got emotional. "This day has been so precious," Sohee said. "I wish it could last forever." Anton summed up their ambition: "I want to go higher. One day, we'll perform on an even bigger stage."
RIIZE's Seoul concerts proved they're ready for the global stage. The production values rivaled veteran acts, the fan engagement was electric, and the group's chemistry felt natural and unforced. For a "rookie" group, this was a remarkably confident debut tour performance.
With 31,000 fans singing along to every word and sold-out shows across three nights, RIIZE has officially announced their arrival as K-pop's next generation leaders. The "RIIZING LOUD" tour isn't just a concert series-it's a statement.
RIIZE's Asia tour continues through early 2026. Check their official social media for upcoming dates and ticket information.
