K-pop Sensation RIIZE Shatters YouTube Record with 1 Billion Views

In a remarkable feat, the K-pop phenomenon RIIZE has just soared past 1 billion views on their official YouTube channel. As of November 13, 2025, the group's cumulative content views reached an astounding 1,052,600,000, setting a new record and making them the fastest boy group to achieve this milestone on the video-sharing platform.

The secret to RIIZE's meteoric rise lies in their clever content strategy that has captivated fans both at home and abroad. Unlike many K-pop acts, the billion-view count was achieved entirely through their diverse, self-produced content, which is separate from their music videos released on the main 'SMTOWN' channel. This distinction proves that fans are tuning in not just for the music, but for the members' personalities and behind-the-scenes moments, creating a fiercely loyal fanbase on the social media service.

RIIZE has successfully expanded their fandom by showcasing their authentic selves and variety show skills through engaging series on their channel. Shows like the real-time content series 'RIIZE & Realize' and the entertainment-focused 'We RIIZE' have allowed the members to shine, offering fans a deeper connection beyond their stage performances. This constant stream of engaging material on the streaming service has kept viewers hooked and coming back for more.
