RIIZE Concludes 'National Star Tour' in Seongnam with Record-Breaking Sales on 2nd Debut Anniversary

Mnet's 'National Star Tour' has successfully wrapped up its season with boy group RIIZE's final stop in Seongnam. The 6th episode, aired on the 16th, featured RIIZE's special day as honorary 'One-Day Seongnam Flower Ambassadors'.

As the final act of this season's festival, RIIZE set a new record for the highest sales, bringing a meaningful close to 'National Star Tour'. Appointed as 'One-Day Seongnam Flower Ambassadors' at a local flower farm, RIIZE organized special events for their fans to celebrate their 2nd debut anniversary. The members poured their affection for their fandom, 'BRIIZE', into crafting unique flower baskets, each reflecting their distinct personalities.

The guerrilla sales mission received a boost with advice from senior group TREASURE. RIIZE split into two teams: the first team comprising Shotaro, Wonbin, and Sohee, and the second team with Eunseok, Sungchan, and Anton. While the first team targeted university areas, the second team focused on selling rose bunches near subway stations. Ultimately, the second team, led by the 'sales genius' Eunseok, achieved superior sales figures, successfully completing the mission.

During the first pop-up event held at the Seongnam Sports Complex, members initially appeared a bit awkward during their first selling experience but soon showcased remarkable teamwork to accelerate their sales. Sohee's growth in packaging and Shotaro's adept on-site management skills were particularly noteworthy. The second pop-up, exclusive to BRIIZE, fostered heartwarming moments as 22 fans shared their personal stories, celebrating RIIZE's 2nd debut anniversary.

The highlight, the finale performance, took place at the Bundang-gu Office Lawn Plaza, drawing an overwhelming crowd of fans from across the country. RIIZE responded to the fans' cheers with a parade of their hit songs, including 'Get A Guitar', 'Fly Up', and 'Bag Bad Back'. The group achieved a remarkable feat by selling a total of 4,930 flower bunches, breaking the all-time sales record for 'National Star Tour'. The proceeds from the sales will be donated, spreading positive influence.

RIIZE members gifted fans with the flower baskets they personally made, expressing their gratitude. Shotaro shared, 'Today is an especially unforgettable night,' and the members collectively stated, 'Through 'National Star Tour', we felt our growth once again, making our 2nd anniversary even more precious.' The concert, attended by over 8,000 spectators, served as an unforgettable 2nd debut anniversary gift for both RIIZE and their fans.

'National Star Tour' concluded successfully with RIIZE's Seongnam concert. The program previously featured top K-pop idol groups like TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NCT DREAM, ZEROBASEONE, MONSTA X, and TREASURE, creating special memories for fans across various cities. The innovative concept of combining local specialty products with performances generated synergy for regional development, establishing a new festival format where artists, fans, and local residents were all protagonists. This unique approach left a significant mark on the K-pop scene.

RIIZE, a 7-member boy group, debuted on September 4, 2023. Their group name 'RIIZE' is a combination of 'Rise' and 'Realize,' signifying a team that grows together and achieves their dreams. They have garnered immense popularity since their debut, bringing a fresh wave to the K-pop market with each member's distinct charm and charisma.
