The answer to ‘RIIZE’ was ‘Breeze’. The complete group of six members promised, "Breeze is the driving force of our growth and we will continue to move forward together." RIIZE shared their love for Breeze in a recent interview with 'D-icon'. Shotaro said, "Breeze is an indispensable presence," and "I can work harder because Breeze is by my side."

It has been a year since RIIZE debuted. They have already gone beyond the 'rising' stage. Nevertheless, they remain humble. Anton smiled and said, "Every time I see Breeze on stage, I am amazed."

Anton emphasized, "Regardless of the size of the venue, having Breeze come to see us that day is something we are thankful for, and we never take it for granted. We will never forget our gratitude towards our fans."

RIIZE named Breeze as the last puzzle piece to complete their stage. Eunseok stated, "Seeing Breeze on stage makes me feel good. It's because the fans' emotions are transmitted directly."

Sungchan used the sweet expression 'rapid charger' for Breeze. "Breeze is my driving force and rapid charger. Even when I have no energy, thinking of our fans recharges me instantly," he confessed.

Wonbin made a promise to Breeze. "I will strive to continue being something that Breeze can be proud of," he said, "I want to maintain a long-standing relationship and grow without forgetting my gratitude."

Lastly, Sohee added, "Breeze is both the reason and driving force of RIIZE," and "If we were to find our reason, it's that 'Breeze likes it'. This interview was conducted hoping Breeze would like it."

RIIZE plans to continue meeting Breeze with six members from now on. They have finalized Seunghan's departure, solidifying their six-member lineup. This is also a result of reflecting Breeze's opinions.

Meanwhile, the special edition of 'D-icon' featuring RIIZE is available for pre-order until the 16th. It can be pre-ordered on platforms like KakaoTalk gifting, WEVERSE Shop, and Gobunsha (Japan).
