They have been selected as the cover model for 'ARENA HOMME+ CHINA', with a cover and gravure that attract attention due to their intense aura and refined visuals, along with an interview themed around each member's growth journey, which has received positive reactions. In particular, from the February issue to the July issue of the magazine, all six members of RIIZE will appear sequentially as cover models, allowing fans to see each of their personalities and charms. In the February issue, Sohee serves as the cover model.
