The popular K-pop boy group RIIZE has reached a major milestone, surpassing 1 billion cumulative views on their official YouTube channel in early November 2025. This remarkable achievement makes them the fastest boy group that debuted in 2023 to hit the billion-view mark. This significant accomplishment comes as the SM Entertainment group gears up for a highly anticipated new music release, their upcoming single ‘Fame’.
A Monumental RIIZE YouTube Achievement
RIIZE’s rapid ascent on YouTube is a testament to their strong connection with fans and consistent content strategy. The 1 billion view count, notably excluding music videos from the main SMTOWN channel, highlights the dedicated viewership on RIIZE’s own platform. This success is fueled by a variety of engaging content series that offer fans a deeper look into the lives and personalities of the members.
Popular series include ‘RISE & REALIZE,’ which has already aired 80 episodes of real-time content, the entertainment-focused ‘WE RIIZE,’ and the popular short-form series ‘Anton’s POV’ featuring member RIIZE Anton. This diverse content, showcasing members like RIIZE Anton and RIIZE Shotaro, has been pivotal in building a loyal global fanbase and driving the impressive growth of their RIIZE YouTube presence.
‘Fame’: A New Chapter and New Music Release
Adding to the excitement, RIIZE is set to make a comeback with their new single, ‘Fame’. The single is scheduled for release on all major music platforms on November 24, 2025, at 6:00 PM KST. On November 13, 2025, the group heightened anticipation by releasing preview images on their social media channels, featuring the cryptic text “Silence before the Storm,” teasing the single’s powerful concept.
The ‘Fame’ single will feature the title track of the same name, along with two B-side tracks, ‘Something’s in the Water’ and ‘Sticky Like.’ This new music release is expected to further solidify RIIZE’s position as a leading force among the new generation of K-pop boy groups.
Immersive Fan Experiences for the ‘Fame’ Single
To celebrate the ‘Fame’ single, RIIZE and SM Entertainment have planned a series of promotional events designed to create an immersive experience for fans. A special exhibition commemorating the new release will open its doors on November 16, 2025, at the prestigious Ilmin Museum of Art. Additionally, a new original content series titled ‘pre-alize’ is being released sequentially to build up excitement for the comeback. This multi-faceted promotional strategy reflects a growing trend in K-pop, where a new music release becomes an all-encompassing cultural event. For many artists, each comeback marks a new chapter in her music career, and RIIZE is clearly aiming for a significant impact with ‘Fame’.
