Digital IP entertainment company IPX (formerly LINE FRIENDS) has unveiled "LITTLE RIIZE minini," a collaborative character IP created with SM Entertainment's boy group, RIIZE.
This collaboration brings together IPX, which has consistently partnered with SM artists—such as the official character IP "Dreamiez" created with NCT DREAM and "wishnini" based on NCT WISH—and the global K-pop group RIIZE, sparking significant anticipation. By reinterpreting RIIZE's official character IP through its own unique creative capabilities, IPX is expected to expand the charm of the existing characters in diverse ways and deliver a fresh, fun experience to fans worldwide.
"LITTLE RIIZE minini" features characters that capture the unique personality of each member: Shotaro’s zuko-nini, Eunseok’s yongdol-nini, Sungchan’s rakbam-nini, Wonbin’s tonyangdeok-ni, Sohee’s ddolbyeong-nini, and Anton’s meongryong-nini. The story begins with them being struck by a mysterious "beam" one day, turning them into small, cute "LITTLE RIIZE minini" as they arrive to meet their official fandom, BRIIZE. Through the "BEAM MAP," a continuous storyline where they transform into various forms in a world where they can become anything and explore new places to discover joy, fans are naturally encouraged to look forward to the next chapter and join in on their adventures.
Fans expressed their excitement in response to the teaser images of LITTLE RIIZE minini posted on the LINE FRIENDS SQUARE Instagram, with comments such as, "LITTLE RIIZE minini as wizards? They’re even cuter after meeting IPX," and "The beam story is so fun, I can't wait to see what the next BEAM MAP will be."
Alongside the reveal, IPX is holding a pre-order sale for LITTLE RIIZE minini products on the LINE FRIENDS SQUARE online store until the 6th. The collection includes various items such as face cushions featuring the small and cute characters after being hit by the beam, and plush keychains of them dressed as wizards. Starting with this pre-order, IPX plans to reach fans globally by launching pop-up stores in major cities around the world.
Meanwhile, since their debut in 2023, RIIZE has been delivering hit after hit with their unique music and performances, including "Get A Guitar," "Love 119," "Boom Boom Bass," "Fly Up," and "Do Your Dance." In October, they released the single "Insomnia," which highlights the vocal charm of the six members and has been receiving a positive global response.
