Who Are RESCENE? Members, Fandom Name and Discography

RESCENE — 리센느 — are a five-member group under THE MUZE Entertainment who debuted in March 2024 and reached number one on the Melon TOP100 in July 2026, two years later, with a song they had already released. This is the reference version: who the members are, where the name comes from, every release in order, what the fandom is called and how the 2026 breakout actually happened.

The five members

The agency lists the line-up as Woni (원이), Minami (미나미), Liv (리브), May (메이) and Zena (제나).

Four of the five are from Korean cities that have since made the group their ambassadors: Woni from Geoje, Liv from Suwon, Zena from Gyeongju and May from Goyang. Minami is Japanese, from Chiba. Zena is known in Korea as ‘신라공주’ — Silla princess — a nickname she picked up for the Gyeongsang dialect segments she does on Woni’s YouTube channel. The Korea Economic Daily credits Liv and May’s own turn on that channel, as the ‘리트와 메트’ pairing, with making all five members recognisable to a general audience.

Where the name comes from

THE MUZE Entertainment’s profile explains RESCENE as a compound of ‘Scene’ and ‘Scent’: music meant to bring back a vivid scene the way a smell brings back a memory. The agency names the Proust effect as the group’s stated source of inspiration and says every album carries a different scent, with the long-term aim of arriving at one that belongs only to them.

That is not a line that stayed on the website. Top Star News lists soap, fresh grass and berry among the scents attached to earlier releases; Melon’s album note for April 2026’s ‘Runaway’ names incense; the July remake ‘Pretty Girl’ was built on grapefruit. Each release is presented with its scent first and its genre second.

Every release, in order

The agency’s discography page lists eight releases: YoYo, UhUh, SCENEDROME, Glow Up, Dearest, lip bomb, Runaway and Pretty Girl.

In order: the pre-release song ‘YoYo’ arrived on 29 February 2024, four weeks ahead of the debut. The group debuted on 26 March 2024 with the single album Re:Scene and its title track ‘UhUh’, and released the first mini album SCENEDROME on 27 August 2024 — the album that carries ‘LOVE ATTACK’.

2025 brought the second mini album Glow Up, the second single Dearest and the third mini album lip bomb, which sold 104,406 copies in its first week — about 20,000 more than the album before it, and a first-week record for the group; Top Star News notes it was also included in Forbes’ list of critically acclaimed K-pop albums of 2025.

2026 opened with the Japanese digital single ‘Pinball’ in February, which charted on the daily YouTube Shorts songs charts in both Korea and Japan, then the collaboration track ‘Busy Boy’, then ‘Runaway’ on 8 April — their first digital single — and the special single ‘Pretty Girl’ on 8 July.

REMINE: the fandom name

RESCENE announced their fandom name, REMINE (리마인), during a live broadcast marking 100 days since debut, in July 2024. It follows the same logic as the group name: re- plus mine, the audience side of a memory the music is supposed to return.

By 2026 the fandom had company. Kuki News, reporting Geoje’s ambassador appointment, describes how ‘LOVE ATTACK’ reached people who were not following the group at all — a reverse run up the charts, a spell as a cheer song at KBO baseball games and short-form challenges.

How 2026 happened

Woni opened her own YouTube channel — ‘안녕하세요원이입니다잘부탁드립니다’ — in February 2026, after appearing on the web variety show ‘나의 연수 아저씨’. On 20 March, in a Geoje travel video with Minami, the greeting ‘거제, 야호~!’ produced the meme that set the rest of the year in motion; the episode is covered in detail in our piece on it.

The Korea Economic Daily had ‘LOVE ATTACK’ at 3rd on Melon’s daily chart on 3 July; Melon’s own first-half report named RESCENE the representative reverse run artist of the first half of 2026, with the song reaching number one nearly two years after release. Four cities appointed the group as ambassadors between 22 May and 2 July. On 14 July, the ‘Pretty Girl’ remake brought their first music show win. And in January, before any of it, the group had already won the rising-star female idol category at the 2026 Korea First Brand Awards, held on 6 January at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul.

Where to watch officially

Music videos, the ‘Pretty Girl’ special video and the dance practices are published on RESCENE’s official YouTube channel, which is the only place we link to for video. Woni’s own channel is where the 2026 story started and where the dialect and gyaru segments live.
