RESCENE’s Surprising Rise: From Rookie Dreams to “Trend of Trends”
The K-Pop world is buzzing, and rookie girl group RESCENE is quickly becoming a name on everyone’s lips. Members have shared their delightful surprise and growing excitement over their surging popularity, particularly during a recent appearance on tvN’s hit variety show, Amazing Saturday.
On August 15th, RESCENE’s Woni, Liv, and Zena graced the set of Amazing Saturday, bringing their fresh energy and candid stories. Host Boom, ever the enthusiast, introduced RESCENE as the “trend of trends,” highlighting their increasingly packed schedule. When asked directly if she felt their newfound fame, Woni’s response was heartwarming. “I’m feeling it right here, right now,” she beamed, looking around at the esteemed cast members. “The seniors sitting beside me are such amazing people!” Her genuine excitement at being on the show was palpable, earning praise from Nucksal for her perfect blend of popularity and humility.
The “Beef Revolution”: A Delicious Sign of Success
What truly brought home the reality of RESCENE’s success for Woni, however, was a rather delicious change: her dining table. She happily revealed, “These days, I can always eat beef regardless of price or cut.” This revelation stunned the Amazing Saturday cast. Woni explained that her agency head had given them the green light, telling them not to worry about the cost and to pick whatever they wanted. The collective surprise among the cast was evident, marveling at how the previous restrictions on menu choices had completely vanished for the rising stars.
From Kimbap to Konjac: K-Pop’s Debut Diet Realities
This luxurious upgrade in dining sparked a reminiscent conversation on the show. Boom turned to K-Pop icon Taeyeon, a member of the legendary girl group Girls’ Generation, asking about her diet during her early active years. Taeyeon recalled, “At first, it was kimbap,” a humble and affordable staple. Shin Dong Yup readily related, sharing that he also started his career with inexpensive kimbap wrapped in foil. The debut diets of RESCENE members were surprisingly similar in their simplicity. Zena shared that she mainly ate grilled eggs, while Liv mentioned her go-to was mostly konjac jelly. Now, Liv can’t help but smile contentedly, knowing she can freely indulge in beef. It’s a testament to how far they’ve come, symbolizing their hard-earned success in the competitive K-Pop landscape.
The journey from strict diets to unlimited beef is a sweet indicator of their ascent, but it’s not just the members themselves feeling the ripple effects of their growing fame.
Woni’s Mom: An Unintentional Celebrity
Woni also shared an amusing anecdote illustrating how even her family has started to experience the group’s popularity. After introducing herself in a YouTube content piece as “Deok Yeon’s daughter” – named after her mother – attention unexpectedly shifted to her mom. Woni recounted with a laugh, “They sent me to become a celebrity, but my mother became one instead.” She explained that wherever her mother goes, there are reports of her sightings. Despite her mother’s promise not to reveal her daughter’s identity to others, even a simple visit to a dermatology clinic became public knowledge, further highlighting the unexpected reach of RESCENE’s popularity and drawing hearty laughter from the cast.
