RIIZE Dances into TikTok Gold
When K-pop meets J-pop, magic happens—and RIIZE just proved it. On June 23, the rising K-pop boy group shared a surprise dance cover of Snow Man’s chart-topper ‘CHARISMAX’ on their official TikTok. Yes, the high-energy J-pop hit got a full K-pop makeover, and fans couldn’t click the ‘like’ button fast enough.
Eunseok Steals the Show (and the Laughs)
The short clip opens with Eunseok trying—and hilariously failing—to hold back laughter as he takes center stage. His playful smirk, even before the first move, instantly became meme-worthy, sparking a flood of playful fan reactions online.
- “Eunseok’s already laughing before they even start—iconic!”
- “Whose idea was it to make them dance this!? Because it was brilliant.”
- “I never thought I’d see RIIZE cover a Snow Man song. I’m shook.”
From TikTok to World Stage
The timing couldn’t have been better. While lighting up TikTok, RIIZE is also in the middle of their first global tour, ‘RIIZING LOUD’, connecting with fans worldwide. They’re also making waves as the first K-pop idols ever to perform at the Austin City Limits Music Festival this October in Texas—no big deal or anything.
Cover Culture is the New Fan Service
Dance covers like these aren’t just playful content—they’re fan-bonding gold. By covering Snow Man, a top Japanese group, RIIZE is not only flexing their versatility but also giving a friendly nod to J-pop fans across the globe. It’s a win-win in the cultural crossover department.
What’s Next for RIIZE?
With Tokyo Dome shows and a packed world tour schedule ahead, it’s clear: RIIZE isn’t just rising—they’re skyrocketing. And if their sense of humor and dance chops are any indication, we can expect even more unexpected (and delightful) content ahead.
One fan said it best: “This isn’t just a collab we didn’t know we needed—it’s the serotonin boost we deserve.”
