The group RIIZE has set a record for the shortest time for a K-Pop boy group to enter the Tokyo Dome.
RIIZE's first world tour concert, held from September 13 to 15 at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, was sold out, attracting over 33,000 fans. At the end of the first day's performance, which coincided with member Seongchan's birthday, they made a surprise announcement of a special edition concert at the Tokyo Dome on February 21-23, 2026, receiving explosive responses.
In particular, RIIZE stepped onto the Tokyo Dome stage for three days with a solo concert about 2 years and 5 months after their debut in September 2023, marking the shortest time for a K-Pop boy group to enter the Tokyo Dome. This further proves RIIZE's 'ONE TOP' popularity, showcasing their strong ability to attract audiences not only domestically but also internationally.
Major Japanese media outlets such as Sankei Sports, Sports Nippon, Sports Hochi, Nikkan Sports, and Daily Sports have extensively covered RIIZE's news, showing high interest with headlines like "Ultra-fast Tokyo Dome decision, this is RIIZE," "RIIZE's name is now engraved in Japan's largest concert venue," and "A remarkable achievement surpassing previous records."
Previously, RIIZE became the first K-Pop boy group debuting in 2023 to receive 'Gold' certification in the streaming category for 'Get A Guitar.' Additionally, their single 'Lucky' received 'Platinum' certification, and their first studio album 'ODYSSEY' received 'Gold' certification based on cumulative shipments, raising expectations for accelerated growth fueled by local fans' support.
Meanwhile, RIIZE, who is successfully continuing their first world tour 'RIIZING LOUD,' will visit the Impact Arena in Bangkok for their next performance on September 20-21.
