The commercial begins with a scene of a girl visiting a McDonald’s store decorated with blue decorations. A girl suddenly hears music, looks into a donation box, and finds RIIZE performing live. I noticed the RIIZE members waving and turned around with a smile. When I looked back inside the restaurant after donating money, I saw RIIZE members happily eating there! Pay attention to the hilarious exchange between RIIZE and the girl.
In addition, RIIZE’s new visuals will be released on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok in advance of “Blue Mac Day” on October 20th.
