After in-depth discussions with SM Entertainment, we’re truly sorry to share that we can no longer move forward with the Artist Class as originally planned.

We know this is disappointing, especially for those of you who signed up, took part in the challenge, or invested your time and energy. Our team worked day and night to bring this to life, and we’re just as heartbroken that we can’t deliver it right now.
Not all is lost—your support meant the world—not just to us, but to RIIZE as well.

As a thank you—and an apology—we’re doing the following:

Challenge: We’ll be selecting 10 participants who tagged Keens in their videos to receive a special reward. Winners will be contacted via DM shortly.

For all participants: You’ll receive exclusive free dance training routines by email as a thank-you for your time and effort.

For those interested in training: We’ll follow up with additional remedies and opportunities via email soon.

We hope to bring you more meaningful events like this in the future—and to do it right, with better preparation and communication.

Thank you again for your incredible support,
– The Keens Team
