RESCENE returns with 'PULSE' after breakout year of K-pop underdog success

RESCENE introduced its fourth mini album, PULSE, at a showcase in Seoul Tuesday ahead of its scheduled 6 p.m. release. The five-track EP features lead single With, which follows someone running toward a long-dreamed-of meeting and promises to move forward together. The comeback follows a breakthrough year in which the group earned six music show wins and two awards at the 2026 K World Dream Awards. The members said they hope to live up to the growing recognition they have received.

PULSE is RESCENE’s first mini album since Lip Bomb, released Nov. 25 last year, and follows the remake single Pretty Girl, released four months earlier.

The EP’s other tracks are Finest Thing, Inside Out, MEME and Dragon.

RESCENE’s Pretty Girl won four music show awards, while LOVE ATTACK won two.

The group received the best fandom and best visual content awards at the 2026 K World Dream Awards on Aug. 27.

The members described musk as PULSE’s defining scent, representing the shared warmth of performers and audiences.

K-pop girl group RESCENE returned Tuesday with its fourth mini album, “PULSE,” hoping to build on a breakout year that saw its songs climb back up the charts and earn six music show wins.

The five-member group — Woni, Liv, Minami, May and Zena — introduced the five-track release during a showcase at Blue Square in Seoul, ahead of its scheduled release at 6 p.m.

The album arrives nearly a year after the group’s third EP, “Lip Bomb,” released Nov. 25 last year, and four months after its remake single, “Pretty Girl.”

Liv said the months had passed quickly, with members buoyed by listeners’ support.

“We worked hard together to repay everyone who waited for us,” she said. “We’ll show you RESCENE that has grown stronger and more mature.”

“’PULSE’ signals that our hearts have begun beating strongly again and captures the pounding heartbeat of seeing a scene we’ve long imagined unfold before our eyes,” Woni said, describing the album.

Lead single “With” follows someone who runs toward a person they have long dreamed of meeting. Moving from a lyrical opening to an energetic chorus, the song turns that encounter into a promise to move forward together.

For RESCENE, which has linked music with fragrance throughout its releases, the album’s defining scent is musk. Its lingering warmth represents the shared body heat of performers and audiences, extending the connection between the stage and listeners.

Zena said the choreography emphasizes the members’ teamwork.

“There are many movements where we synchronize as though we’re one body,” she said. “I hope people watch the synergy that comes when the five of us unite.”

The EP also includes “Finest Thing,” “Inside Out,” “MEME” and “Dragon.”

The comeback follows a breakthrough year for RESCENE, whose rise in a K-pop industry dominated by major labels has been unusual and meteoric.

RESCENE's rise proves small K-pop agencies still have a chance

The group drew attention this spring through the viral “Geoje yaho” meme, before “LOVE ATTACK” found renewed chart success. That momentum carried over to music shows. “Pretty Girl” subsequently brought the group its first music show victory on SBS Life’s “The Show” on July 14. The song collected four wins, while “LOVE ATTACK” added two, bringing the group’s total to six.

The group also won the best fandom and best visual content awards at the 2026 K World Dream Awards on Aug. 27.

That trajectory has earned RESCENE a reputation of being a “miracle” among groups from smaller agencies and, more recently, a “national girl group.”

May responded cautiously to that latter label.

“It feels far too generous for us,” she said. “As more people call us that, we’re working to become a team worthy of that name.”

The members credited fans who stayed beside them through the wait for their breakthrough, while pointing to their cheerful image and varied musical colors as possible reasons for their appeal.

Woni said the group hoped its next chapter would justify the faith behind those descriptions.

“A miracle isn’t something that happens easily, so we’re grateful people use that word for us,” she said. “We want to become a group that makes people think of the word ‘miracle’ once again.”

RESCENE于周二在首尔举行发布会，正式推出第四张迷你专辑《PULSE》，并定于当晚6点正式发行。这张包含五首歌曲的迷你专辑主打歌为《With》，歌词讲述了一个人奔向梦寐以求的相遇，并承诺携手前行的故事。此次回归正值该组合取得突破性进展的一年，她们在过去一年中斩获六项音乐节目冠军，并在2026 K World Dream Awards颁奖典礼上荣获两项大奖。成员们表示，她们希望能够不辜负大家日益增长的认可。

《PULSE》是 RESCENE 自去年 11 月 25 日发行的《Lip Bomb》以来的首张迷你专辑，此前四个月，他们发行了翻唱单曲《Pretty Girl》。

该EP的其他曲目包括《Finest Thing》、《Inside Out》、《MEME》和《Dragon》。

RESCENE 的《Pretty Girl》获得了四项音乐节目奖项，而 LOVE ATTACK 获得了两项。

该组合在 8 月 27 日举行的 2026 年 K World Dream Awards 颁奖典礼上获得了最佳粉丝奖和最佳视觉内容奖。

成员们将麝香描述为 PULSE 的标志性气味，代表着表演者和观众之间共同的温暖。

韩国流行女子组合 RESCENE 于周二携第四张迷你专辑《PULSE》回归，希望延续去年的辉煌。去年，她们的歌曲重回排行榜前列，并获得了六个音乐节目冠军。

由五名成员——Woni、Liv、Minami、May 和 Zena——组成的女子组合在首尔 Blue Square 举办的发布会上介绍了即将于下午 6 点正式发行的五首歌曲。

这张专辑距离该组合的第三张迷你专辑《Lip Bomb》（去年 11 月 25 日发行）发行已近一年，距离其重制单曲《Pretty Girl》发行也已过去四个月。

莉芙说，几个月的时间过得很快，听众的支持让成员们备受鼓舞。

“我们齐心协力，努力回报每一位等待我们的人，”她说。“我们将向你们展示一个更加强大、更加成熟的RESCENE。”

“《脉搏》标志着我们的心脏又开始强劲地跳动，它捕捉到了我们长久以来想象的场景在我们眼前展开时那种怦怦直跳的心跳，”沃尼在描述这张专辑时说道。

首支单曲《With》讲述了一个人奔向自己梦寐以求之人的故事。歌曲从抒情的开头过渡到充满活力的副歌，将这次邂逅转化为携手前行的承诺。

对于一直以来都将音乐与香氛相结合的 RESCENE 而言，这张专辑的主题香氛是麝香。它持久的温暖象征着表演者和观众之间共享的体温，延伸了舞台与听众之间的联系。

泽娜表示，编舞强调了成员之间的团队合作。

“在很多动作中，我们就像一个整体一样同步行动，”她说。“我希望人们能看到我们五个人团结一致时所产生的协同效应。”

RESCENE于周二在首尔举行的组合Showcase上表演了第四张迷你专辑《PULSE》的主打单曲《With》。

该EP还收录了“Finest Thing”、“Inside Out”、“MEME”和“Dragon”。

RESCENE 的回归是在其突破性的一年之后。在由大型唱片公司主导的韩国流行音乐产业中，RESCENE 的崛起是不同寻常且迅猛的。

RESCENE的崛起证明，小型K-pop经纪公司仍然有机会。

今年春天，凭借病毒式传播的“巨济呀吼”表情包，该组合迅速走红，随后《LOVE ATTACK》再次取得佳绩。这股势头延续到了音乐节目中。7月14日，《Pretty Girl》为该组合在SBS Life的音乐节目《The Show》中赢得了首个音乐节目冠军。这首歌最终获得四项冠军，而《LOVE ATTACK》也斩获两项冠军，使该组合的冠军总数达到六项。

该组合还在 8 月 27 日举行的 2026 年 K World Dream Awards 颁奖典礼上获得了最佳粉丝奖和最佳视觉内容奖。

RESCENE 的发展轨迹使其在小型经纪公司旗下的组合中赢得了“奇迹”的美誉，并且最近更被誉为“国民女子组合”。

梅对后一种说法反应谨慎。

“这对我们来说太慷慨了，”她说。“随着越来越多的人这样称呼我们，我们正在努力成为一支配得上这个名字的球队。”

成员们感谢粉丝们在他们等待突破的过程中一直陪伴着他们，同时指出他们开朗的形象和多样化的音乐风格可能是他们受欢迎的原因。

沃尼表示，该组织希望其下一个篇章能够证明这些描述背后的信念是正确的。

“奇迹并非轻易发生，所以我们很感激人们用这个词来形容我们，”她说。“我们希望成为一个能让人们再次想到‘奇迹’这个词的团体。”
