K-pop boy band Riize heading to Singapore for Jan 2026 show
K-pop boy band Riize will kick off their new tour in Asia in July, including a stop in Singapore in January 2026.
The sextet unveiled a poster showing the cities they will be touring on their social media accounts on May 1.
They will begin in Seoul for a three-day run from July 4 to 6, before travelling to other cities such as Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Tokyo, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila.
Riize will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Jan 24, 2026. Ticketing details have not been announced.
They previously staged a gig at the Singapore Expo in July 2024 as part of their Riizing Day tour.
Riize originally consisted of seven members: Anton, Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Seunghan and Sohee.
They made their debut with their first single, Get A Guitar, in September 2023 and released their first EP, Riizing, in June 2024.
They are scheduled to release their first full-length album, Odyssey, on May 19.
Seunghan, now 21, went on an extended hiatus in November 2023 after a picture of him kissing a woman was leaked prior to his debut.
The group's agency SM Entertainment made an official announcement about the singer's return to the group in October 2024, before walking back the decision two days later due to backlash from fans.

Court orders K-pop girl group NewJeans to pay agency Ador $933,000 for each unauthorised activity
K-pop girl band NewJeans began independent activities after ending their contracts with the K-pop agency in November 2024, citing a breach of exclusivity. PHOTO: REUTERS SEOUL – South Korea's Seoul Central District Court has ruled that each member of NewJeans, the K-pop girl group under Hybe subsidiary Ador, must pay one billion won (S$933,000) to the agency for every entertainment activity carried out without its prior consent. The quintet – made up of members Minji, Danielle, Haerin, Hanni and Hyein – began independent activities after ending their contracts with the K-pop agency in November 2024, citing a breach of exclusivity. In January, Ador filed an injunction to block the group's solo activities and assert its role as NewJeans' management agency. According to a South Korean report, the Seoul court on May 29 accepted Ador's request for an indirect compulsory execution, a legal mechanism used to pressure a party to comply with a court order by imposing monetary penalties for non-compliance. 'Since NewJeans violated the obligations set by the injunction by performing under a new group name and even releasing new songs before and after the injunction ruling, it is necessary to impose indirect compulsory enforcement to ensure compliance with the order,' the court ruled. 'If the debtors violate these obligations from the date they receive the official copy of this decision, they must pay one billion won per violation to the creditor,' it added. The ruling does not apply retrospectively, sparing the five members from owing billions of won for unauthorised activities they have undertaken since unilaterally declaring their exclusive contracts to be terminated. 'Until a verdict on the first trial on the ongoing lawsuit regarding the validity of NewJeans' exclusive contracts is delivered, the members are prohibited from engaging in any entertainment-related activities without Ador's prior approval,' the court stated. In March, the same court sided with Ador in a preliminary injunction that barred NewJeans from signing individual endorsement or entertainment deals outside the agency's purview, further reinforcing the label's legal position in the ongoing conflict. NewJeans rebranded themselves as NJZ in February before the ruling. After the ruling in March, they performed at music festival ComplexCon in Hong Kong and debuted a new song, Pit Stop. They then announced onstage they would go on hiatus out of respect for the court decision. The second hearing in the ongoing main lawsuit to determine the validity of the contracts is scheduled for June 5.
