    RIIZE recently concluded successful fan-cons in Seoul, Tokyo, Mexico City, and LA in May, followed by Hong Kong and Taipei in June, creating unforgettable memories with their fans.

    After completing promotions for their first mini-album, they are set to continue their tour with stops in Manila, Singapore, and Bangkok in July, and Jakarta in August.

    Following their comeback with the first mini-album 'RIIZING' on June 17th, RIIZE achieved consecutive million-seller status, topped monthly album charts, won five music show awards, and dominated iTunes Top Album charts in 10 regions worldwide.

    They also topped the Japan Line Music Weekly Album Top 100 chart, Apple Music Top Album chart, Korean music weekly charts, and China's QQ Music rising chart, sparking a global 'RIIZE boom'.

    RIIZE will showcase their first mini-album's title track 'Boom Boom Bass' on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' on the 5th.

  • Former BTOB Member Jung Ilhoon Shares Thoughts on Music Comeback After 5 Years

    Former BTOB member Jung Ilhoon has shared his thoughts on returning to the music scene after a five-year hiatus.

    On November 24, Jung Ilhoon announced his comeback through Instagram, revealing his new single, Lullaby.

    He expressed his gratitude, writing, “It’s been a while, but I’m happy to greet you with the single Lullaby. Thank you to the fans who supported me during this long wait, and I’m also grateful to everyone who helped me along the way.”

    He also reflected on the emotional significance of his return, saying, “This feels like a moment we both dreamed of—fans and I alike—which makes it especially meaningful. I hope you’ll continue to support me as I move forward.”

    Jung Ilhoon first debuted with BTOB in 2012 and gained recognition for his talent as a rapper and songwriter. However, in 2020, he left the group after admitting to charges of habitual marijuana use.

    Initially sentenced to two years in prison, his sentence was later reduced to a suspended sentence of three years during an appeal, allowing for his release.

    Following the incident, he publicly apologized, saying, “I deeply regret the harm I caused to society and the disappointment I brought to those who trusted me. I promise to live righteously and not bring pain to anyone again.”

    Fans are now eagerly awaiting Ilhoon’s new single, Lullaby, marking his first step back into the music world.
