The group RESCENE shed tears of joy while hosting a live broadcast with fans immediately after reaching No. 1 on the Melon Top 100, the largest music streaming platform in South Korea.

RESCENE held a surprise live broadcast via their official YouTube channel on July 8. The members shared their disbelief, explaining that they had all been asleep when they heard the news of their No. 1 ranking on the Melon Top 100 and rushed to start the broadcast.

Appearing in casual attire with hats pulled down, the members laughed and said, "We didn't plan on greeting you wearing hats like this, but we never expected to reach No. 1." They added, "We were sleeping, but we rushed over as soon as we heard the news. We have to head to a music show in an hour, so we didn't even have time to get ready."

Unable to hide their excitement, the members continued, "Sleep didn't matter—we just had to come here because we hit No. 1." They expressed their gratitude to their fandom, RE:MINE, multiple times, saying, "This is truly all thanks to RE:MINE. We are so grateful."

The joy soon turned into tears. The members choked up, saying, "How many times in life do you get to cry because you're this happy?" and "Seeing so many congratulatory messages in the comments makes me cry even more." They comforted each other and shared the emotional moment. The members also noted, "Our CEO, directors, and company staff all sent us congratulatory messages," as they embraced each other to celebrate.

RESCENE promised, "We will work even harder," and "We will now walk with confidence wherever we go." They concluded the live broadcast to prepare for their scheduled music show appearance, adding, "We love you, RE:MINE. We will repay you with even better performances."

Debuting in 2024, RESCENE is a girl group from a small-to-medium-sized agency that has established itself in the music industry through their musicality and approachable charm.
