RIIZE has become a hot topic by appearing on the cover of a Chinese magazine in a novel format to start the new year.
RIIZE was chosen as the cover model for ARENA HOMME+ CHINA's January 2026 issue, featuring cover and pictorial images that highlight a powerful aura and warm visuals, along with in-depth interviews themed around each member's journey of growth, receiving a positive response.
In particular, since the magazine will sequentially feature the six RIIZE members as individual cover models from the February issue through the July issue, fans can expect to see each member's personality and charm, and the February issue featuring member Sohee as the main subject was recently previewed, drawing attention.
RIIZE is communicating with local Chinese fans in various ways, including a premiere for their first full-length album "ODYSSEY", the opening of a character pop-up store, and diverse short-form content, and last year they proved their popularity by winning "Breakthrough International Group of the Year" at the "2025 TIMA" awards held by China's largest music platform, Tencent Music Entertainment Group.
Meanwhile, RIIZE successfully continues their first world tour "RIIZING LOUD," which opened last July, and will hold the finale performances for three days from March 6 to 8 at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Seoul.
