RIIZE has officially made a big mark with their first-ever solo concert — and tickets are already gone!

The boy group under SM Entertainment sold out every single seat for their Seoul show at the KSPO DOME during a 3-day fan club pre-sale held from May 21 on Melon Ticket. The pre-sale was only open to official fan club BRIIZE members, making it even more impressive that the venue filled up so fast.

The sold-out show marks the start of their upcoming 2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD], which kicks off in Seoul from July 4 to 6. After that, RIIZE will head to 14 cities around the world, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore, and more.

This isn’t the first time RIIZE has created a ticketing frenzy. Earlier this year, their RIIZING DAY fan-con tour also sold out, including their Jamsil Indoor Stadium show in May and the upcoming KSPO DOME show in September.

RIIZE’s popularity continues to grow with their latest release. The group dropped their first full-length album ‘ODYSSEY’ on May 19, and the title track “Fly Up” quickly shot to the top of both Korean and international music charts. All 10 tracks from the album made it onto the charts, showing just how strong their fanbase is.

Fans can also catch RIIZE on Mnet’s 'M Countdown' on May 22 at 6 PM KST, where they will perform “Fly Up” and “Ingeol (Ember to Solar).” Member So Hee will also appear as a special MC during the show.

With this kind of momentum, RIIZE’s first solo tour is expected to be one of the most exciting events of 2025.
