Group RESCENE is continuing their upward trajectory by confirming their first-ever solo concert since debut and achieving double wins on music shows. However, mixed reactions regarding live vocals and choreography during some recent stages have also surfaced, drawing diverse perspectives on their growth.
RESCENE (Woni, Liv, Minami, Mei, Zena) secured their first-ever music show win since their comeback with the title track ‘With’ from their fourth mini-album ‘PULSE’ on the November 10 broadcast of ‘The Show’. The momentum continued the next day. They took the top spot on MBC M and MBC every1’s ‘Show Champion’ on November 11, clutching the trophy for two consecutive days. Immediately after receiving the award, RESCENE expressed their gratitude, stating, ‘We are simply thankful just to be able to make a comeback and stand on music shows. We will show even prettier and cooler sides of ourselves in return for this award.’
This achievement is tied to RESCENE’s recent growth trajectory. Since their debut in 2024, they have built their own unique musical color with various tracks such as ‘LOVE ATTACK’, ‘Pretty Girl’, ‘Pinball’, and ‘Deja Vu’. Notably, member Woni’s YouTube content sparked online attention, which served as a catalyst for raising the group’s overall recognition. This has now been compounded by new song promotions and a music show win, propelling their upward trend.
Joyful news was also delivered. RESCENE will hold their first debut solo concert from February 19 to 21, 2027, at the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park. As it is their first solo concert in about three years since debut, it holds profound meaning for the members. RESCENE shared their determination to gift fans a precious time, emphasizing that a stage they have long dreamed of has now become a reality.
Yet, amidst the congratulatory messages, evaluations surrounding certain stages were divided. Following their recent music show win, reactions emerged that the pitch control of Woni and Mei during the encore stage sounded somewhat unstable. Some netizens expressed regret over their live vocal skills, leaving opinions that they anticipate more stable performances moving forward. Criticisms were also raised regarding Woni’s choreography, with some fancam footage showing her falling out of sync with other members or misaligned movements.
In response, online reactions included sentiments such as ‘more practice is needed’ and ‘fans should be able to provide feedback on disappointing parts.’ Conversely, other opinions argued that judging the members’ overall skills based on just a few scenes is an exaggeration. Some remarked that compared to the stages of other idol groups, it is not a significant issue, or that the intensity of criticism is excessive.
Naturally, as singers standing in front of the public, evaluations regarding live performances and stage presence are unavoidable. It is also natural for expectations regarding stage completion to rise, especially with their first solo concert approaching. However, connecting the shortcomings revealed in a few stages directly to a lack of overall group capability or effort requires caution, as specific evaluations of actual stages must be distinguished from excessive criticism directed at individual members.
Above all, RESCENE has achieved the meaningful accomplishment of securing two music show wins. The fact that online interest was successfully translated into tangible musical outcomes is also noteworthy. Their remaining challenge now is how to showcase their heightened interest and expectations in upcoming performances. Their first solo concert serves as an opportunity to present the music and choreography they have built up so far to their fans. Amidst a coexistence of celebration and regret, attention is focused on how RESCENE will prove their potential through future stages.
