The group RIIZE (RIIZE, affiliated with SME) set the record for the fastest entry into Tokyo Dome among K-pop boy groups.
RIIZE's first world tour performances held at Tokyo National Yoyogi Gymnasium Arena 1 from the 13th to the 15th sold out all seats, meeting some 33,000 spectators, and at the end of the first-day performance, which was member Seongchan's birthday, they surprised fans by announcing a Tokyo Dome special edition performance Feb. 21-23, 2026, receiving explosive responses.
In particular, RIIZE will perform at Tokyo Dome for three days as a solo concert about 2 years and 5 months after their debut in Sep. 2023, and because this is the fastest Tokyo Dome entry record for a K-pop boy group, it once again proved RIIZE's "one top" popularity, showing powerful audience-pulling power overseas as well as domestically.
Major Japanese media such as Sankei Sports, Sports Nippon, Sports Hochi, Nikkan Sports and Daily Sports gave prominent coverage to RIIZE's news, showing high interest with headlines such as "ultra-fast Tokyo Dome decision, this is RIIZE," "RIIZE's name has been engraved at Japan's largest venue," and "an achievement that surpasses previous records."
Earlier, RIIZE became the first K-pop boy group that debuted after 2023, according to the Recording Industry Association of Japan, to receive a "gold" certification in streaming for "Get A Guitar," and in the gold disc category for cumulative single and album shipments, the Japanese single "Lucky" received "platinum" certification and the first full-length album "ODYSSEY" received "gold" certification, and thanks to the local fans' support, expectations are growing for accelerated growth ahead.
Continuing their successful first world tour "RIIZING LOUD," RIIZE will visit Bangkok's Impact Arena for performances on Sep. 20-21.
