RIIZE is giving back in a big way! On January 21, the popular K-pop group donated 100 million KRW under their fan club name, BRIIZE, to help support cultural and artistic programs for children and adolescents in need.

The donation went to the Allkidstra program, a special initiative by the Walking with Us foundation that provides music education to kids and teens from disadvantaged backgrounds. This generous gift is meant to encourage and bring hope to young people, especially at the start of a new year.

This isn’t the first time RIIZE has shown their commitment to helping others. Last December, they donated the profits from their “Lime Ticon Created by BRIIZE” event, which celebrated the release of their first mini-album RIIZING. With this new 100 million KRW donation, RIIZE has now donated over 120 million KRW to support the Allkidstra program, helping to inspire hope and dreams in underprivileged youth.

The Allkidstra program focuses on the emotional and character development of children through music, offering them a chance to explore and grow through cultural and artistic activities. One standout group, the Allkidstra Wind Ensemble, has even performed in multiple concerts, showcasing the kids’ musical talents. The funds will help ensure these children can continue to access music lessons, practice space, and more.

Beyond this donation, RIIZE also showed their support for the 12th annual Allkidstra concert, What Love Tells Me, held on November 20. They sent warm messages to the talented kids in the wind ensemble. Recently, the group released a remake of “Hug” for SM Entertainment's 30th-anniversary album, which fans have praised.

Kim Hyun Joo, the director of Walking with Us, thanked RIIZE for their kindness, saying, “Thanks to RIIZE’s generous contribution, children and adolescents can learn music in a stable environment. We hope their inspiring story continues to bring hope to many.”

RIIZE continues to touch hearts and make a difference with their actions. Fans of RIIZE and BRIIZE can look forward to even more meaningful contributions in the future!
