“Nugu” Girl Group Bursts Into Tears On Livestream, Sparking Major Reactions

A “nugu” fifth-gen girl group’s tearful livestream has sparked massive reactions online.

The girl group in question is RESCENE, the five-member ensemble that abruptly started gaining mainstream attention this year.

On July 8, KST, the group held a candid live broadcast, during which all the members ended up bursting into tears. As it turns out, RESCENE’s song “Love Attack” hit the top spot on the Melon 100 chart, and the moment they got the news, all the members turned on a live broadcast, completely bare-faced, just to thank their fans.

솔직히 음원차트 일위했다고 쌩얼인데도 바로 라방켜서 고맙다고 펑펑 울어주는 아이돌이 어디잇어…그동안 많이 돌아왔다 우리 다들 너무 고생햇어 음방도 일위하게 해줄게 평생 행복하고 기쁜 눈물만 흐르게 해줄게 pic.twitter.com/Qotu1FtwHI

Though RESCENE made its debut in 2024, it didn’t gain mainstream attention until this year, when its members Woni and Minami blew up in popularity through YouTube. This newfound recognition also translated to chart performance, with “Love Attack,” a 2024 release, suddenly climbing the charts this May.
