Get ready to RIIZE and shine early this year — as RIIZE is set to come back to the Philippines this March 2025.
The rising K-pop sextet was announced to be the headliners of I AM LIVE’s highly anticipated I AM K-POP Concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Araneta City this March 29, 2025. Though no further details were mentioned about who else is set to perform, I AM LIVE previously teased that the concert is set to be “the biggest K-Pop experience of the year,” as stated on their posts shared on their official social media accounts.
RIIZE’s upcoming performance at the event marks their second time coming to the Philippines, following their fan-signing event and sold-out fan concert, titled RIIZING DAY,’ held last July 14, 2024, also at the Araneta Coliseum. Just recently, the group released their first musical single of the year with “Hug,” which comes after the release of the deluxe edition to their first mini-album, RIIZING, and their singles pack, titled LUCKY.
Just a few months back, the group’s seventh member Seunghan had shared the news of his departure from the group just two days after he was announced by his agency to return. In their official statement, Wizard Production announced that the 21-year-old idol had decided to make the personal choice to leave the group. After announcing Seunghan’s return, the agency mentions that they “ruminated carefully” on the responses sent in by fans, before realizing that their decision had caused hurt and confusion to the BRIIZE fandom.
