The boy group RIIZE made a huge splash in Bangkok, Thailand, over three days, proving their K-pop star power.

RIIZE held their '2024 RIIZE FAN-CON 'RIIZING DAY' in BANGKOK' at the Thunder Dome on July 27th and 28th. Both days were sold out, with around 10,000 fans cheering them on.

The fan-con featured a variety of performances and activities, including hits like 'Boom Boom Bass,' 'Love 119,' 'Talk Saxy,' and 'Get A Guitar,' as well as fun games and talks. Local media took notice, with 50 outlets covering the event, including Ch7HD, Ch9, Thairath TV, Daily News, KhaoSod, L'Officiel Hommes Thailand, and Sanook.

The members of RIIZE shared their excitement, saying, "When we first came to Thailand last year for 'Get A Guitar,' we dreamed of holding a concert here with many fans. We’re thrilled to make great memories with our fans, Breeze, and we’re so grateful for the warm welcome."

Before the fan-con, on July 26th, RIIZE visited a pop-up store at Emsphere shopping mall in Bangkok to celebrate the release of their first mini-album 'RIIZING.' They also held a fan signing event at the mall, creating special moments with local fans.

The pop-up store was a hit, with long lines and around 1,000 visitors daily since its opening on July 24th, leading to sold-out items. The store will stay open until August 4th.

After their Bangkok fan-con, RIIZE will head to Japan for their '2024 RIIZE FAN-CON 'RIIZING DAY' JAPAN HALL TOUR,' starting on July 30th with 15 shows in nine cities. They will continue their tour with a stop in Jakarta, Indonesia on August 31st.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
