RESCENE's 'Pretty Girl' remake follows Melon No. 1 rise

RESCENE is promoting a remake single of KARA's 'Pretty Girl', using the same-titled song to present a stage message centered on walking confidently anywhere. The release is being tied to the group's broader narrative of pushing through difficult conditions and moving beyond a short-term chart reversal.

The group has also been appointed as regional promotional ambassadors in places connected to members' hometowns, including Geoje, Suwon, Gyeongju and Goyang Special City. Those roles have positioned RESCENE close to local communities through a bottom-up form of communication rather than a large fictional universe.

A recent incident involving Woni's use of a dialect expression(무섭노) on her YouTube channel spread into a political dispute described as groundless. Korean-language scholars and Geoje City later gave official explanations that the expression was dialect, and the issue came to a close.

After that sequence, RESCENE's representative song 'LOVE ATTACK', released 2 years earlier, reached No. 1 on Melon's Top 100. Industry attention has focused on whether the group's momentum can continue beyond a single reverse-charting moment, with comparisons drawn to EXID and Brave Girls.

A K-pop industry official said RESCENE is 'evolving beyond a meteor that flashes for a moment into a planet that moves in a stable orbit.' The official added that the group's steps had turned coincidence into inevitability and trials into a driver of growth, opening a new era for K-pop's 'national idol' label.
