K-pop girl group RESENE, who initially gained widespread attention through the viral catchphrase “Geoje Yahoo,” is holding their very first solo concert. Following the chart resurgence of their track “LOVE ATTACK” driven by the popularity of the YouTube channel ‘Anwonzalbu’, the group achieved music chart #1 success and recorded 600,000 initial album sales with their latest release.
Coupang Play announced on the 11th that they will partner with The Muse Entertainment to host RESENE’s first solo concert from February 19 to 21 next year at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul. This marks the group’s first solo concert in about three years since their debut in March 2024 by members Woni, Liv, Minami, Mei, and Zena.
The Viral Phenomenon Behind RESENE’s Rise
The catalyst that elevated RESENE’s public recognition this year was leader Woni’s YouTube channel titled ‘Hello I am Woni Please Take Good Care of Me’, commonly known as ‘Anwonzalbu’. Short clips highlighting the members’ casual conversations and quirky tones quickly spread across social media platforms.
In particular, Japanese member Minami’s catchy phrase “Geoje Yahoo,” delivered while appearing in a Ganguro style concept, went viral and drew intense spotlight toward the entire team.
Chart-Topping Success and Record Album Sales
The group’s first mini-album title track “LOVE ATTACK,” released in August 2024, climbed back up the charts after previously slipping following its initial peak at No. 65 on the Melon daily chart. It eventually peaked at No. 1 on the TOP100 chart on July 8, marking the team’s very first TOP100 chart-topper 1 year and 11 months after release.
After continuing promotions with a remake of KARA’s hit song “Pretty Girl,” RESENE released their fourth mini-album ‘PULSE’ on the 3rd. Their remarkable reverse-chart trend seamlessly transitioned into a mainstream surge.
The title track “With” claimed the No. 1 spot on the Melon TOP100 chart on the day of its release. All five tracks from the album, including b-sides “Hyunhwaryoran,” “Finest Thing,” “MEME,” and “Dragon,” successfully entered the same chart.
Album sales also reached record highs. According to Hanteo Chart, ‘PULSE’ sold 602,688 copies during its first week of release from the 3rd to the 9th. Surpassing their previous first-week sales record on day one, the group officially earned their first-ever half-million-seller title.
First Solo Concert and Future Outlook
News of RESENE’s first solo concert was announced just a day after their blockbuster album performance figures were revealed. RESENE and Coupang Play previously collaborated during the halftime show of the ‘2026 Coupang Play Series’ match between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City last August.
Expressing deep gratitude to the fans who have eagerly awaited their first solo concert, RESENE shared their strong determination to prepare an unforgettable stage. The three-day concert event is scheduled to take place next February.
