To commemorate the 1st anniversary of their debut, RIIZE created another memory with fans and concluded their first fan-con tour. The '2024 RIIZE FAN-CON ‘RIIZING DAY' FINALE in SEOUL', held from September 13 to 15 at the Olympic Park KSPO DOME, recorded a complete sell-out of all seats, including obstructed view seats, attracting about 28,000 spectators over three days. This proved RIIZE's tremendous popularity, which has grown at an incredible pace in just one year since their debut. Notably, on the first day, live viewings were held in major regions worldwide, including North America, Europe, and Asia, with sold-out screenings in 40 theaters across Japan, and long lines formed in front of overseas screening venues. On the final day, the event was live-streamed through Beyond LIVE and Weverse, allowing fans from 50 regions worldwide, including the USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, Australia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam, to watch together. RIIZE opened with a powerful performance of 'Siren', followed by a diverse set of songs including 'Get A Guitar', 'Impossible', 'Boom Boom Bass', '9 Days', 'Honestly', and their debut single tracks 'Lucky' and 'Be My Next', as well as a cover of TVXQ's 'Rising Sun', energizing the atmosphere. They also showcased a fantastical performance of 'Combo', floating 11 meters above the ground surrounded by a 125-meter translucent screen, and engaged with the audience during 'Same Key' while riding on a trolley. The large-scale production, featuring a circular object themed on a solar eclipse, turntable stage, space box, and curved screens, captivated the audience. Additionally, they transformed into new employees during a segment called 'Real-Time Growth Report', revisiting missions and challenges that received positive reactions, followed by a final showdown in the 'Rising Day End Game' segment, which had been ongoing throughout the tour between the older team (Shotaro, Eunseok, Seongchan) and the younger team (Wonbin, Sohee, Anton), delighting the audience. In the latter part of the performance, they showed tears of emotion, expressing, 'We are happy to have met BRIIZE (the name of their fans) from all over the world during this fan-con tour that started in May, realizing a dream we wished for since before our debut and taking our first steps as wonderful artists. Although this tour is the last, for RIIZE, this is just the beginning. We want to continue growing and moving forward. We will become artists that you can be proud of, so please continue to support us as you have now.' They then shouted the slogan 'RIIZE, BRIIZE, very popular!' together with the fans. The fans, who enjoyed the performance in accordance with the dress code, showcased a sing-along event with different songs like 'Memories', 'Love119', and 'One Kiss' at each performance, attracting attention with slogan events and a large card section event in the second-floor seating.
