RIIZE is facing backlash over their Hong Kong concert amid Typhoon Signal No. 10 warnings.
The 2 025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD] show is reportedly going ahead despite severe weather and public transport shutdowns. Organizers said the concert will continue "despite the weather conditions" with possible rescheduling based on circumstances.
Fans exploded online, questioning safety and logistics with the typhoon in full force.
“Is the government allowing this?? Is anyone going to complain to the government?? You guys still want to hold the concert even though the Hurricane Signal No. 10 is in force. You guys aren’t human; you’ve gone crazy wanting to make money. Starting the show at 5pm – do you think all of the fans are in Hong Kong? How will those in Macau, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen go?”
“Yesterday, you said it’d be delayed until 9pm but it changed again to 5pm?? I suggest delaying it to 9pm, and allow refunds for fans who can’t go.””What’s up with this? How will fans from Macau go, even if you’re able to hold the concert?”
“They’re not leaving tomorrow, so can’t you postpone it to tomorrow? The typhoon will leave tonight. I know you guys don’t want to do refunds, and we want to see the boys, but no one wants to put their life at risk.”
“This is what you call safety precautions? You’re taking it too far just to make money. It’s Signal No. 10, not 10 drops of rain. Confirm the arrangements ASAP and stop dragging this out. This wait is painful.”
“Can some department from the Hong Kong Government manage this? Are the fans’ lives not worth anything?”
The Hong Kong government issued a bulletin urging strict precautionary measures under Signal No. 10. Most public transportation services are shut down, making fan travel hazardous.
Sources confirm transport closures amid typhoon warnings.
Stay tuned for updates on the concert situation.
