RIIZE heated up the LA Dodgers' Korean Heritage Night.
RIIZE was invited to participate in the 'Korean Heritage Night' event at Dodger Stadium on May 22 (local time) before the MLB game between the LA Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers hosted Korean Heritage Night to honor Korean culture and show appreciation for their Korean-American fans. RIIZE, who has been recognized as a K-pop "rising star" less than a year after debut, was invited by the club and the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau to participate in the event, confirming their global influence.
On the night, RIIZE took the stage at the Cut Out Zone in Dodger Stadium to perform "Get A Guitar" and "Talk Saxy," making RIIZE the first K-pop artist to perform for Korean Heritage Night, adding to the significance of the event.
After a rousing performance, RIIZE reappeared on the field to chant the LA Dodgers' catchphrase "It's Time For Dodger Baseball" to kick off the game. RIIZE was greeted by LA Dodgers players including Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Miguel Rojas, and was treated to a game and stadium tour, making it another unforgettable experience in LA.
This was a successful conclusion to RIIZE's first visit to Los Angeles for its first Fancon tour. With a special meeting with the LA Tourism Authority and the LA City Council, as well as a unique connection with hometown team, the LA Dodgers, there is a lot of interest in RIIZE's future career in LA and around the world.
