These individual engagements closely followed RIIZE's achievement of the 'Artist of the Year' award at the '2026 The Fact Music Awards' on September 19.

Local bloggers highlighted Anton's composed and focused demeanor during his solo photoshoot, noting his personal preference for clothing fit and distinct styles in both fashion and music. They observed his personal growth, indicating that tasks previously perceived as daunting now come naturally, and shared his recommended RIIZE songs for new listeners. The concurrent individual and group activities suggest a broadening scope for Anton's career trajectory.
