RIIZE marked its third debut anniversary and revealed its next album plans ahead of time. After releasing a prologue single on October 26 this year, it plans to continue activities with its second full album in spring 2027. The new activity plan was announced at the end of the third debut anniversary fan meeting, “Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR,” held on September 12–13 at Inspire Arena in Incheon. A total of about 23,000 fans gathered over the two days. RIIZE performed existing songs such as “Do your dance,” “Fly Up,” and “Get A Guitar,” as well as cover stages of EXO’s “The Eve” and T-ARA’s “Bo Peep Bo Peep.” Each member also prepared a solo stage based on the concept of an evaluation session from their trainee days, showing vocals, performance, and instrument playing. At the fan meeting, which had the theme of a variety show channel, several segments were also held, including variety corners, games, random dance, and runway battles. The members conveyed their feelings to the fans, saying, “It has already been three years, but it is also still only three years, so I think there are many things ahead that we will continue doing with BRIIZE (the fan club name). We would be happy if you would watch over us for a long, long time until the 300th anniversary.” Since their debut in 2023, RIIZE has released “Get A Guitar,” “Love 119,” “Boom Boom Bass,” and “Fly Up,” among others. In their first world tour this year, they met 420,000 spectators in 21 regions around the world, and their mini album released in June recorded their fourth million-seller in total. “Do your dance” also ranked for three consecutive weeks on Mediabase’s U.S. Top 40 radio chart. After pre-releasing the prologue single on October 26, RIIZE plans to continue activities until the end of the year and release its second full album in spring 2027.
