RESCENE Bridges Generations with 'Pretty Girl' — A Collab Stage with KARA's Nicole

The 'it girl group of the 5th gen,' RESCENE, took the stage for a generation-spanning collab with KARA's Nicole! Made up of members Wonee, Liv, Minami, Mei, and Zena, RESCENE unveiled their remake single 'Pretty Girl' on Mnet's M Countdown on the 9th — a music show debut for the track.

A Lovely First Stage… and a Surprise Guest Appearance

The five members stepped on stage in outfits that showed off each of their unique vibes, winning everyone over with bright smiles and effortless moves that brought out the song's upbeat charm. The fresh, grapefruit-like energy that defines the concept filled the whole stage.

The highlight of the performance was Nicole's surprise appearance at the end. As a member of KARA — the original group behind 'Pretty Girl' — Nicole showed up out of nowhere and performed alongside RESCENE, making the cross-generational collab feel truly complete. Having the original artist and the remake group share the same stage gave the whole thing an even deeper meaning.

Proving Their Power with a 'Chart Reverse'

What's making RESCENE's comeback such a big deal is the incredible chart-reverse moment they've been having. 'LOVE ATTACK,' the title track from their first mini album 'SCENEDROME' released back in August 2024, hit #1 on Melon's TOP100 nearly two years after its release. On top of that, it's been holding strong on major charts — #2 on FLO, #4 on Genie in real-time, and #4 on Bugs daily.

The reverse-charting wave didn't stop there. 'Pinball' (the other double title track from their first mini album), 'Deja Vu' (the title track from their second single album), and digital single 'Runaway' all made it onto Melon's TOP100 at the same time — showing just how much power RESCENE has to chart multiple songs simultaneously.

'Pretty Girl' Is Also Killing It

'Pretty Girl,' released on the 8th, shot straight to the top of the charts the moment it dropped. It's been performing amazingly across major platforms — #1 on Melon's HOT100, #4 on Melon's TOP100, #1 on Bugs real-time, #10 on Genie's TOP200, and #10 on FLO.

'Pretty Girl' was the title track from KARA's second mini album back in 2008 — a beloved teen pop classic that's stood the test of time. RESCENE kept all the playful, confident energy of the original while maximizing the song's freshness with a bright and breezy new arrangement.

RESCENE will be kicking off their comeback promotions with M Countdown and continuing to appear on various music shows going forward!
