South Korean boy band Riize will debut the stage performance of their new single "Fame" on November 24 during a special showcase event at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
The showcase, officially titled "RIIZE The 2nd Single Premiere," will begin at 5 p.m. and marks the first public performance of the highly anticipated title track.
The event will be broadcast live through Riize's official YouTube and TikTok channels, allowing global fans to experience the showcase in real-time. Fans within Korea will have the opportunity to attend the in-person event, with attendance determined through a lottery system for official fan club BRIIZE members. The company stated the showcase will be held free of charge as an expression of gratitude to fans for their continued support.
"Fame" represents a significant artistic shift for Riize, marking their first venture into the rage-style hip-hop genre. The track combines bold, forward-driving rhythmic structures with the raw texture of electric guitar, delivering dynamic energy while maintaining an alternative approach. The lyrics carry a meaningful message, positioning the group's identity as "emotional pop artists" and emphasizing that emotional connection and shared love matter more than pursuing fame itself.
The stage performance is designed to showcase the track's emotional depth through high-difficulty choreography that demands strength and precise rhythm while keeping the atmosphere relaxed. Dancer Ren Crisologo, who previously worked with Riize on the "Fly Up" music video, and U.S.-based choreographer Nick Joseph collaborated to create the performance, adding international expertise to the production.
The "Fame" single will contain a total of three tracks and will be released on November 24 at 6 p.m. through major music platforms and physical albums. The project focuses on lesser-known aspects of the group's journey, capturing the members' anxiety and emptiness alongside the intense emotions that emerge from their demanding schedule.
This comeback arrives approximately six months after Riize released their first full-length album, Odyssey, in May, which included successful tracks like "Bag Bad Back" and "Fly Up." Since July, the group has been actively connecting with global audiences through their first world tour, "RIIZING LOUD," which concluded performances across North America, including stops in New York, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles through mid-November.
Additionally, Riize opened a special exhibition titled "Silence: Inside the Fame, Quiet and Waves" at the Ilmin Museum of Art in Jongno-gu, Seoul, beginning November 16 and running through November 30, commemorating the single's release.
