The outlet also reports that within an hour of its release, all five PULSE tracks occupied the top six spots on Melon’s real-time Hot 100 chart. “With” notably out-charted monster rookie group A2O Lite and their wildly viral hit “NEON.”

According to The Korea Times, members Woni, Liv, Minami, May and Zena introduced the five-track mini-album at a showcase held in Seoul ahead of its official release.

In remarks reported by the outlet, Woni explained the album’s title, saying, “PULSE signals that our hearts have begun beating strongly again and captures the pounding heartbeat of seeing a scene we've long imagined unfold before our eyes.”

The newspaper also quoted Liv describing the comeback as a gesture of appreciation to fans: “We worked hard together to repay everyone who waited for us. We'll show you RESCENE that has grown stronger and more mature.”

“There are many movements where we synchronize as though we're one body. I hope people watch the synergy that comes when the five of us unite,” Zena said during the showcase.

The chart sweep follows a breakout 2026 for RESCENE, fueled by the viral “Geoje yaho” meme and renewed interest in their 2024 single “LOVE ATTACK.” Their remake of KARA’s 2008 single “Pretty Girl” earned the group its first music show victory on SBS Life's *The Show* in July, according to Soompi.

RESCENE is nominated at the 2026 MAMA Awards in the Fans' Choice Female category and will perform at the Nov. 20 chapter of the ceremony at the Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan.
