Following the explosive popularity of member Minami’s “Geoje yaho” meme, Rescene have gone from a little-known K-pop group to one of the biggest music acts in South Korea.
According to a recent ranking by the Korean Business Research Institute, all five Rescene members placed within the top 11 of its September brand reputation rankings for individual girl group members, with leader Woni topping the list ahead of several established K-pop stars.
Videos on Woni’s YouTube channel, which also feature the other Rescene members, now rake in upwards of seven million views within days of upload.
Many of Rescene’s songs are currently in the top five spots of South Korea’s Melon music chart, and the group has amassed numerous brand deals, including MLB Korea, Domino’s Pizza and Hollys.
On Tuesday (Sep 22), Rescene’s agency announced that the group will release a new mini album, titled Pulse, on Nov 3. It will be their first physical album in a year, following their meteoric rise in popularity.
