RIIZE’s special exhibition at Seoul’s Ilmin Museum of Art has wrapped on a high note.
Timed to the Nov. 24 release of the group’s single Fame, the showcase ― Silence: Inside the Fame ― Calm and Waves ― ran Nov. 16-30 at the Ilmin Museum in Jongno and drew roughly 14,000 visitors over 15 days.
The event marked the museum’s first large-scale exhibition dedicated to a K-pop act. With timed entry available through Melon Ticket, capacity was capped, and BRIIZE membership-only sessions sold out immediately after opening.
Guests were greeted by a prologue framing the show as a voyage toward inner growth and the “quiet ripples” between perception and reality ― a conceptual through-line that deepens the narrative of Fame.
Centering on photographs shot inside a grand London manor that capture a serene yet charged tension, the exhibition also featured a main hall of media-art portraits for each member, mirrored and black-draped installation zones with image wrapping, and member-inspired installations ― all of which sparked strong visitor response.
Monologues and on-site sketch videos filled wall-spanning screens, offering candid reflections on uncertainty, the desire for love and validation, and ambitions to level up as artists ― themes that resonated with audiences throughout the run.
Meanwhile, "Fame" topped the Circle Weekly Album Chart (Nov. 23-29) and Hanteo Weekly Album Chart (Nov. 24-30), and also hit No. 1 on China’s QQ Music and Kugou Music digital album sales charts.
