RIIZE (under SM Entertainment) roamed festival-packed university campuses, showcasing their credentials as the ‘festival powerhouse’.
On May 8 at Incheon University, and on the 14th at Sogang University and Soongsil University, the group took to the festival stages and presented performances of hit songs including ‘Fly Up’ (Fly Up), ‘Bag Bad Back’ (Bag Bad Back), ‘Boom Boom Bass’ (Boom Boom Bass), ‘Love 119’ (Love 119), ‘Siren’ (Siren), and ‘Get A Guitar’ (Get A Guitar), drawing a strong response.
In particular, from the opening to the ending they sustained unwavering energy, delivering live vocals with handheld mics and powerful performances; they also visited every corner of the thrust stages to connect up close with the audience, and in return the crowd poured out cheers, mass sing-alongs, and encore requests.

At the same time, hip styling unique to RIIZE, reinterpreting the signature colors and uniforms of each university, also drew attention, and with a comeback slated for June the members even dropped surprise spoilers, further heightening expectations.
