The momentum of the group RESCENE is unusual. Without relying on overseas inflows and backed by the overwhelming support of domestic viewers, the YouTube channel is already eyeing 2 million subscribers.
On the 4th the YouTube channel "helloiamwoninicetomeetyou" released a video titled "How are you feeling now?" Centered on RESCENE member Woni, members appeared together as a belated "1 million subscriber celebration" unfolded.
But the timing was unusual. Although the event was prepared to celebrate 1 million subscribers, the channel had already surpassed 1.96 million subscribers. After reaching the 1 million mark in June, the channel nearly doubled in size within just a few months, bringing the 2 million breakthrough within sight.
What drew more attention was the composition of the subscribers. According to the production team, more than 99% of current subscribers were domestic Korean viewers. While K-pop groups' content often rapidly increases numbers based on overseas fandoms, RESCENE surprised by gathering nearly 2 million subscribers primarily from domestic users.
When the members faced the belated "symbol of 1 million," the gold play button, they said "We should receive good energy" and took turns lifting the gold button, looking excited as if the 1 million number did not seem real. The members even asked the production team "Can we get the diamond button?" showing interest in the diamond button awarded at 10 million subscribers. Above all, since they were already on the verge of 2 million, the production team even preemptively asked for "feelings on achieving 2 million," which embarrassed the members.
In fact, the growth of "Anwonjalbu" has been steep. After surpassing 1 million subscribers about four months after the channel opened in June, it approached 2 million again in about two months. Among recently released content, some videos recorded millions of views in a single day, showing mass public interest beyond fandom.
RESCENE, which had to prepare for 2 million while celebrating 1 million. Especially with the unusual figure that domestic viewers account for more than 99% disclosed, the epithet "trend" surrounding them is being proven by numbers, not just words.
