The group Rescene (RESCENE)'s third mini-album 'lip bomb' received praise from the domestic popular music webzine IZM.
Rescene (Woni, Live, Minami, Mei, Jena)'s third mini-album 'lip bomb' (lip balm) drew attention after receiving high marks from the domestic popular music webzine IZM (IZM NEO MUSIC COMMUNITY, hereafter IZM).
The domestic popular music webzine IZM introduced Rescene by saying, "Rescene, propelled by 'LOVE ATTACK,' which successfully rebounded earlier this year, and 'Glow Up,' which was selected by Billboard as one of the '25 K-pop albums of the first half of 2025,' continued uninterrupted activities through the summer single album 'Dearest' and the third mini-album 'lip bomb,' released in November."
IZM rated Rescene's 'lip bomb' album a 4, commenting, "The pop appeal of the 8-bit song 'Bloom,' which begins with a 32-bit high-hat performance, sticks like injeolmi to the roof of the mouth." Rescene proved its musical completeness by receiving a high score of 4 out of 5.
It also lavishly praised, "The title track 'Bloom,' the standout 'Love Echo' and the rhythm and blues number 'MVP' see Live and Minami's true voices supplying energy to the entire group, and the clean sound and irregular performances enrich the entire record."
Rescene's third mini-album 'lip bomb' recorded first-week sales (album sales in the week following release) of 104,406, breaking its own record for highest first-week sales. It is unusual for a K-pop girl group to surpass 100,000 in first-week sales, a figure that shows Rescene's continued rising popularity.
Rescene's third mini-album 'lip bomb' is an album that gently envelops the heart like a berry-scented lip balm and conveys the meaning of spreading Rescene's scent widely through song. It delivers a heartfelt message about the journey of the 'me' and 'we' who bloom by believing in themselves, and moving toward the long-awaited moment for everyone.
Meanwhile, Rescene successfully completed its first week of comeback activities starting with KBS2 MUSIC BANK. They went on to continue active activities, including attending and performing at the 12th Edaily Culture Awards on the 2nd, generating anticipation for their future moves.
