RIIZE's 'Silence: Inside the Fame' Exhibition at Ilmin Museum of Art Attracts 14,000 Visitors

The special exhibition 'Silence: Inside the Fame' by K-pop group RIIZE, held at the Ilmin Museum of Art, has successfully concluded.

From November 16th to 30th, the exhibition, organized to commemorate the release of RIIZE's single 'Fame', welcomed approximately 14,000 visitors over 15 days, demonstrating significant public interest.

Notably, this marked the first large-scale exhibition by a K-pop artist at the Ilmin Museum of Art, garnering considerable attention. The exhibition operated on a reservation system, and exclusive sessions for RIIZE's official fan club, BRIIZE, were sold out immediately upon opening.

Upon entering, visitors were greeted with a prologue stating, 'RIIZE's time, sensing the quiet ripples between the awareness of being a subject that reacts and responds, and the winds of true identity, after a journey towards inner growth.' This structure was designed to enhance the understanding of the single 'Fame', which focuses on the unseen aspects of RIIZE's growth.

Centered around photographs beautifully capturing paradoxical tension amidst tranquility, taken at a grand mansion in London, the exhibition featured a main hall with member portraits rendered as media art, a focal point space created with mirrors, black curtains, and image wrapping, and installation art inspired by the members. These diverse elements received positive feedback.

Furthermore, monologue content and behind-the-scenes footage displayed on wall screens allowed visitors to connect with the members' candid thoughts on themes such as anxieties as developing individuals, the desire for love and recognition, and aspirations for artistic leaps, fostering a sense of empathy among attendees.

Meanwhile, RIIZE's single 'Fame', released on November 24th, topped album charts on South Korea's Circle Chart and Hanteo Chart, as well as digital album sales charts on China's QQ Music and Kugou Music, highlighting the group's growing global popularity.

Fans expressed overwhelming delight with the exhibition. Comments like "The exhibition was absolutely amazing! The photos and videos were all fantastic," and "I was moved to tears by the members' sincere stories ㅠㅠ" flooded online platforms, celebrating the exhibition's success.
