Stay tuned to Kpopmap for more coverage on Triple iz's journey now that they've finally debuted!

In the recent K-Pop landscape, RIIZE's Shotaro has consistently been highlighted as a name synonymous with excellence. Not only is he a fantastic dancer and performer—truly one of the best in the industry right now—but he is also very well known for his rap and unique vocal color.

Above all, Shotaro has a reputation for being adorable and endearing. He is the kindest soul, generous, caring, and attentive to his members, but he is also playful and cute. He is sincere with his words and actions and is truly a role model to many, especially with how hard he has worked towards his dream.

While he can be full of naturally oozing aegyo even when he's not trying, the charismatic and captivating side of Shotaro, which we see on stage, is a whole other experience altogether. Shotaro has a way of commanding the stage that is not only rare but truly impressive, and you just can't take your eyes off of him. Talk about duality!

The way his eyes light up when he is excited versus the way his gaze deepens when he is serious about something might be two opposite ends of the charm spectrum, but they have an equally enchanting effect nonetheless.

If you're just finding out about Shotaro and would like to know more about him, keep reading!

5 Random Shotaro Facts Every BRIIZE Should Know

RIIZE on X

1. Shotaro majored in economics in university. So, the idol is not only attractive, talented, and kind but is also extremely smart too! Can he get any more perfect? Clearly, yes!

2. Shotaro's dream of becoming a K-Pop idol has come true but there's one more aspiration he holds dear to his heart. Shotaro dreams of teaching dance to underprivileged kids who want to learn the art. He has taught dance classes before when he was young. We hope to see Shotaro undertake this noble endeavor in the future.

3. Shotaro knows how to sew! The idol is popular for his unique fashion sense and styling but it is genuinely intriguing that he even alters his clothes himself!

4. EXO's SeHun once treated Shotaro to a meal, presumably when the latter was a trainee, simply because he had mentioned that he liked him! Later on, SeHun found out from a fan that Shotaro had debuted.

5. Shotaro is into thrifting! We love a sustainable king. Remember when we said he could sew? It was a thrifted jacket (see in picture above) that he upcycled and sewed all by himself! The idol often buys second-hand clothing and styles them in his own way.

There's clearly more than one thing we can learn from Shotaro, and this man keeps outdoing himself. We cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next.

Meanwhile, RIIZE is releasing their prologue single 'Impossible' today, and their first mini-album "RIIZING" comes out in June.
