Official Fandom Name: REVELS (레블즈)
Fandom Name Meaning: REVELS comes from revel — to indulge deeply, celebrate freely, and surrender to sensation. It reflects the immersive bond between RIVEN and those who follow him. REVELS are the ones who don’t hold back; they let themselves feel every slow-burn note, every smirk, every controlled spark he releases on stage. This isn’t passive admiration — it’s participation. Connection. Mutual fire.
REVELS embrace the heat rather than shy away from it. They’re the ones who meet his intensity, match his energy, and revel in the experience he creates. The name represents fans who don’t just watch — they feel. They lean in. They indulge. And in return, RIVEN revels in them just as deeply.

RIV-N Facts:
-Global upbringing — Lived in South Korea, China, Japan, and the U.S. thanks to his parents’ creative careers. Says moving so often made him adaptable, expressive, and “too confident for his own good.”
-Multilingual menace — Speaks Korean, English, Mandarin, and Japanese
-Fragrance addict — Collects dark, spicy scents; staff say he “smells like a nighttime music video.”
-Nighttime creature — Prefers dim lights, neon, and late-night studios. Says he “feels more like himself after sunset.”
-Midnight Raccoon Bro — Shares a “raccoon” identity with CR4ZYN’s Seo, but RIV-N is the velvet-night, seductive type — not the gremlin one.
-Laugh-collapse mode — Covers his mouth, leans forward, and usually falls into someone when he really loses it.
-Secret lyric journal — Black leather, always in his bag. No one has read it except M1DNITE's Jae — who refuses to repeat what he saw.
-Born instigator — Middle child energy: charming, expressive, and always the one who starts the chaos but looks innocent when caught.
-“Mr. Sexy Solo Man” — A teasing nickname from DarkRo staff that leaked and instantly became fandom canon.
-Favorite food, snack, and drink are spicy beef tteokbokki & steak , late-night ramen, dark chocolate-covered almonds, and iced vanilla cold brew .
-Core hobbies: Photography, songwriting & lyric journaling, kickboxing & weight training, late-night freestyle dance, and night drives with R&B playlists.
-Once got scolded in training for making eye contact with the camera “too intensely.” Staff said it looked like a seduction attempt. It was.
-Ring Spinning — subconscious habit when thinking or deciding how to phrase something dangerously.
-Teases Under His Breath — but loud enough that someone always hears it.
-Is surprisingly good at cooking “date food” but terrible at anything normal like fried eggs or toast.
-Keeps a small camera in his bag for candid low-light photos; prefers film because “mistakes look sexier.”
-Once teased that his ideal date is “a night drive, a good playlist, and someone who doesn’t scare easy.” Fans lost it.
-When he practices choreography alone at night, he turns off most of the studio lights so only the floor glows.
-Has an unintentional habit of standing very close to people he likes talking to — it’s half flirty, half instinct.
-Gives the most dangerously calm compliments. Has been told multiple times to “stop speaking like that on camera.”
-Auditioned for DarkRo at 18 during their Tokyo scouting tour — walked in with low expectations and walked out as “the one to watch.”
-Musical influences — Looks up to EXO’s Baekhyun and GOT7’s Jay B
