Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE -- the Fillin' Live.

Here are one of my favourite girl groups doing a half hour "It's Live" mini concert.

I've liked this group ever since they first appeared on the scene with "Yo Yo". Their singing appeals to me, they have good material, and they perform well.

I enjoyed hearing them perform the live band versions of their songs.

Left to right: Liv, May, Zena, Woni, and Minami.

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE -- Bloom -- On the Spot.

On the day of the Bloom MV release, I noted how it was "my Kpop cup of tea".

I'm posting this performance video not because I dislike the MV, but on account of 1TheK providing the opportunity to enjoy the choreo. Watching these girls dance and hearing their singing, especially in that two part chorus, is such a joy.

Having a video like this shot outside in the sunshine makes a nice change from studio sets. I like all the outfits, even though I'm puzzled about May's; why does it not co-ordinate with those worn by the others?

Anyway, I shall have more to say about one of my favourite girl groups before the year ends!

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE – Runaway -- Just Dance -- Genie .

One of the things I love about Kpop is its sheer abundance. Not only do lots of groups release lots of music with a frequency that makes the western pop industry look miserly, but most releases will have, on account of music show performances, dance practice videos , and so on, a multiplicity of versions.

So after my last week's posting of the RESCENE -- Runaway MV as #KpopOfTheWeek and midweek postings of music show stages, I come now to this wonderful video in which the simplicity of set and styling allow the group to engage us to the full through their dancing.

The original MV was one that I enjoyed because of its dream like blend of school story and fantasy. Yet I also like this performance video for the reason that I so often enjoy videos of this type; they allow me to pull away from the specifics of narrative and concept and be enchanted instead by the sight and sound of performance.

The outfits facilitate this enchantment, and I am relieved that this video shows the girls not to be under the heel of the #BigClumpyBoot lobby!

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE – Runaway.

Although this past week I have been enjoying Kpop from a number of groups, the song that stands out to me is the RESCENE comeback.

From the opening guitar and synthesizer, through the contrasting first and second choruses, to that emancipated dance break in the forest just before they head out to see the sun rise -- everything about this MV is magical!

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen RESCENE – Pretty Girl -- Idol Booth.

I've been following RESCENE from the very beginning, so I am delighted to see their popularity rocketing in South Korea. Their cover of Kara's "Pretty Girl" is such fun. The song's jaunty catchiness has always appealed to me, and RESCENE's voices sound good in this version.

I'm enjoying the MV and stages, but this Idol Booth video must be my favourite so far; the overall styling charmed me, bias LIv's hair being up and bias wrecker May's hair being bobbed delighted me, and the girls' cute marching put a ribbon on it!

#KpopOfTheWeek

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that has particularly impressed me. This week I have chosen RESCENE -- Inside Out & With -- KGMA 2026.

While agonizing over whether "Inside Out" or "With" should be my choice for this week, I came across this KGMA stage which ended my dilemma. In addition to the 2for1 deal, this stage shows the girls in outfits that I like; I've added this video to my beloved list of girl groups performing in black outfits.

The visual aspect of Kpop matters to me, so disappointment with what I saw on the "With" MV explains why that MV is not my choice this weekend. I really like the song though, especially the way it builds to that final chorus. The sound and "running" motif complement their "Runaway" from earlier this way.

I've already posted about "Inside Out". Alongside "With", it's my favourite track on the new "Pulse" album. As I watch this and previous performances of the song, I'm reminded of fromis_9 songs like "Rewind". I like groups that can appeal to my sentiments, cater to my taste for the sweet, but also present a more sophisticated side.

RESCENE did deservedly well at this KGMA show. I'm happy that this has been such a successful year for these talented young women.
