RIIZE is entering 2026 with momentum and confidence, signaling a year packed with global activity and nonstop challenges.
From Samsung Electronics' The First Look event this month to their first world tour with a Tokyo Dome performance and a Seoul KSPO Dome finale, RIIZE is set to expand its global footprint. Ahead of a busy schedule at home and abroad, the group shared its New Year mindset, saying they hope 2026 will be "a year that proves who RIIZE is as a team."
Looking back on a defining year
The members reflected on 2025, a year marked by releases including "Fly Up," "Bag Bad Back," "Fame," and "Sticky Like." Each member cited year-end stages as standout moments, recalling intense preparation, late-night rehearsals, and the thrill of seeing their teamwork come together on major award stages and festivals, including overseas performances such as Austin City Limits.
Many described 2025 as a period of growth, unity, and endurance—an essential journey that strengthened the bond between the members, their fans BRIIZE, and the staff supporting them.
Goals and music for the new year
For 2026, RIIZE emphasized health, confidence, and artistic ambition. The members spoke about completing their remaining tour dates safely, delivering a future album worthy of long-term recognition, and proving their value on even bigger stages. Each also picked a personal RIIZE song recommendation for the New Year, including tracks like "Odyssey," "Fly Up," "Sticky Like," and "Fame," reflecting their individual mindsets and aspirations.
What they're most excited for
The Tokyo Dome concert emerged as a shared highlight, especially meaningful for members who have dreamed of that stage since childhood. The Seoul finale also stands out as a symbolic moment to cap off the tour. Beyond concerts, the group expressed excitement about new experiences, global schedules, and continuing to grow—both as artists and as individuals—while creating lasting memories with fans.
With a packed calendar and a clear sense of purpose, RIIZE is stepping into 2026 ready to enjoy every moment and prove their identity on the world stage.
