The fan meeting featured a unique "TV Channel" concept, with members parodying various broadcast formats like news, variety shows, and sports, which received positive feedback for its fresh approach. A highlight included a 3rd-anniversary cake ceremony, where members celebrated with fans amidst a sea of lightsticks. During the event, RIIZE also announced their upcoming prologue single release on October 26th, followed by their second full album next spring.
