RIIZE has kicked off 2026 with a strong presence in the Chinese market, landing the New Year cover of ARENA HOMME+ China and securing a rare multi month magazine project that will see the group featured through July.

The group was selected as the cover model for ARENA HOMME+ China’s January 2026 issue, unveiling a pictorial and interview that highlighted RIIZE’s striking visuals and confident aura. The feature focused on each member’s journey of growth, offering a narrative driven look at how the group has evolved since debut an approach that resonated positively with readers.
What sets this collaboration apart is its extended format. From the February issue through the July issue, all six RIIZE members will appear as individual cover models in consecutive releases, allowing fans to explore each member’s distinct personality and charm over time.

RIIZE has been actively expanding its footprint in China through a variety of localized activities. These include a theatrical premiere for their first full length album ‘ODYSSEY,’ the opening of a character themed pop-up store, and the release of diverse short-form content tailored for local platforms.
Their growing influence was further underscored last year when RIIZE won Breakthrough International Group of the Year at the 2025 Tencent Music Entertainment Awards (TIMA), one of China’s most prominent music ceremonies.

Alongside their magazine activities, RIIZE is continuing its first world tour, ‘RIIZING LOUD,’ which began in July last year. The tour has been met with strong response across regions and is set to culminate with a three day finale concert in Seoul.
The final shows will take place from March 6 to 8 at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, marking a major milestone for the group as they wrap up their first global tour.
