RIIZE Sets New Record: Fastest K-Pop Boy Group to Headline Tokyo Dome
RIIZE has made history by becoming the K-pop boy group to achieve the fastest entry into the prestigious Tokyo Dome.
The group successfully sold out all seats for their first world tour, 'RIIZING LOUD,' held at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium from May 13th to 15th, engaging with over 33,000 fans. During the final day's concert, which coincided with member Sungchan's birthday, RIIZE made a surprise announcement of a special Tokyo Dome edition concert scheduled for February 21st-23rd, 2026, met with an explosive response from the audience.
Achieving this solo concert at the Tokyo Dome within approximately 2 years and 5 months of their debut in September 2023 marks a significant milestone. This record not only underscores RIIZE's powerful fan-drawing capabilities internationally but also reaffirms their 'one-top' popularity beyond Korea.
Major Japanese media outlets, including Sanspo, Nikkan Sports, Hochi Shimbun, Sports Nippon, and Daily Sports, extensively covered RIIZE's achievement. They reported with high interest, stating, "Super-fast Tokyo Dome decision, this is RIIZE," "RIIZE's name is now etched in Japan's largest concert venue," and "A triumph that surpasses previous records."
Previously, RIIZE became the first K-pop boy group debuting in 2023 or later to receive a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for their track 'Get A Guitar' in the streaming category. Their Japanese single 'Lucky' earned a Platinum certification, and their debut full album 'ODYSSEY' received a Gold certification, further highlighting their growing success fueled by local fan support.
RIIZE continues their 'RIIZING LOUD' world tour and is set to perform next at the Impact Arena in Bangkok on September 20th and 21st.
RIIZE recently received Gold and Platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for multiple songs and albums, solidifying their immense popularity in the country. The surprise Tokyo Dome announcement on member Sungchan's birthday served as an unforgettable gift to their fans. This achievement serves as a key indicator of RIIZE's rapid growth in the K-pop scene.
