The group RESCENE revealed the moment they moved into a new 99-pyeong residence and clinched first place on a music show.
On Saturday the 8th, the MBC variety program Omniscient Interfering View (planned by Kang Young-sun; directed by Kim Yoon-jip·Jeon Jae-wook·Kim Hae-ni·Jeong Dong-sik·Lee Da-un; writer Yeo Hyun-jeon), episode 410, depicted RESCENE returning in triumph as a No. 1 singer.
RESCENE's previous Omniscient Interfering View appearance created a huge stir. With as many as 100 advertisement inquiries and a flood of requests to serve as various promotional ambassadors, commentator Song Eun I recited RESCENE's content and recent status one after another, proving she was a "true fan," and Omniscient Interfering View produced the top trending topic for two consecutive weeks.
As a result, RESCENE left their old dormitory where they shared one bathroom and moved into a new 99-pyeong residence. The members each enjoyed rooms that reflected their tastes and three bathrooms, but the distance between the members remained the same. Even when they called from their rooms they couldn't hear one another, prompting consideration of introducing walkie-talkies, but the members played hide-and-seek and pillow fights and trailed one another wherever one person moved, using the 99-pyeong residence like a 10-pyeong space, drawing laughs. Manager Kim Hye-soo said, "Once a lovebug, always a lovebug."
In particular, RESCENE felt their changed status after rising to No. 1 on a music show. Standing proudly as a No. 1 candidate between aespa and Yeonjun, RESCENE showed a changed daily life, including receiving an outpouring of challenge requests from fellow singers. Although they finished third on that day's broadcast, RESCENE went on to achieve a triple crown on music shows, beginning with their first terrestrial No. 1 a week later.
After activities ended, RESCENE said, "I laughed and cried more than at any other time during our activities." When the No. 1 on a music show and the long-awaited year-end stage invitations were announced, the members cheered, and Director Kim Hye-soo said she had been preparing year-end stage arrangements for three years while waiting for the opportunity to come, and that every lyric by RESCENE contained words she wanted to say to the members.
Meanwhile, the members' painful trainee days were also depicted. Mei said she decided to leave the team because she saw no hope for the future, but Wony revealed that Woni told Mei's parents, "Please believe me just once," and held her back. Woni vowed, "Let's not lose our original mind and be thankful for the small things," and the members expressed gratitude to their parents and company colleagues. RESCENE, who trusted and endured with each other through hard moments, once again left a strong impression with a growth story of "brighter together."
Meanwhile, the episode in which RESCENE appeared as the sole guest recorded a viewership rating of 2.9% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide). This is a 0.5 percentage-point drop from the 3.6% recorded for episode 409, which aired on the 1st.
