RESCENE Wins The Show: What Happened and When
Five-member girl group RESCENE (리센느) won their first music show trophy on the July 14, 2026 broadcast of SBS Life's "The Show," taped at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul . The win came with a total of 10,000 points — a maximum score, which Korean outlets reported as a girl-group first on the program .
Quick Answer: RESCENE won SBS Life's "The Show" on July 14, 2026 with "Pretty Girl," scoring a full 10,000 points — reported as the first perfect score by a girl group on the show. It was the group's first music show trophy since debuting on March 26, 2024.
The winning track was "Pretty Girl," a remake single released on July 8, 2026 . RESCENE — leader Woni (원이), Liv (리브), Minami (미나미), May (메이), and Zena (제나), under The Muze Entertainment — competed for first place that week against VAYONN's "MUAH!" and AHOF's "RUN TO YOU" .
"The Show" scores across three components, and RESCENE took the maximum available in each. The breakdown below reflects the tally reported for the July 14 episode .
| Scoring component | Points awarded |
|---|---|
| Digital and album sales | 4,000 |
| Pre-voting and fan engagement | 4,000 |
| Real-time live voting | 2,000 |
| Total | 10,000 |
When the members' names were called, the group broke into tears and performed a deep bow (큰절) on stage toward the audience . In their acceptance speech, Woni and the members said: "We love our fandom, REMINE, so much. We hope this trophy brings a little hope to those running toward their dreams. We will run with all our might, so please watch us kindly and we will work hard" . Woni separately described the moment as proof that "effort is not in vain" . The group's official fandom name is REMINE (리마인).
The timing is the other detail worth noting. RESCENE debuted on March 26, 2024 with the single album "Re:Scene" , which places this first trophy roughly two years and four months after debut. Key facts at a glance:
- Who: RESCENE (리센느), five members, The Muze Entertainment
- What: First career music show win, with a full 10,000-point score
- When: Broadcast July 14, 2026
- Where: SBS Prism Tower, Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul
- Song: "Pretty Girl," special remake single released July 8, 2026
Why a Perfect Score Matters for RESCENE
A perfect score on "The Show" means an act swept every scoring category the program measures, and RESCENE's 10,000 out of 10,000 on the July 14, 2026 broadcast was flagged by Korean outlets as the first maximum-point win by a girl group on the program . The tally split into 4,000 points from digital and album sales, 4,000 from pre-voting and fan engagement, and 2,000 from real-time live voting . In practice that combination is hard to assemble, because it requires streaming and sales strength and organized fan voting in the same week.
The three scoring buckets each measure something different, which is why a full sweep is treated as a separate milestone from a simple win:
- Sales and digital (4,000 points): real market performance — streaming and album purchases — rather than fan mobilization alone .
- Pre-voting and fan engagement (4,000 points): the size and coordination of the fandom in the days before broadcast.
- Live real-time voting (2,000 points): viewer participation during the show itself .
RESCENE took first place over VAYONN's "MUAH!" and AHOF's "RUN TO YOU" . When their name was called, the five members — Woni, Liv, Minami, May, and Zena — broke into tears and performed a deep bow, or keunjeol (큰절), toward the audience, a gesture more often associated with formal Korean gratitude than with a broadcast trophy handover .
"We love our fandom, REMINE, so much. We hope this trophy brings a little hope to those running toward their dreams. We will run with all our might, so please watch us kindly and we will work hard," — RESCENE, acceptance speech on "The Show," July 14, 2026 (source: Star News Korea, 2026-07)
Leader Woni separately framed the win as evidence that "effort is not in vain" . That reading tracks with the group's timeline. RESCENE debuted on March 26, 2024 with the single album "Re:Scene," so the trophy arrived roughly two years and four months later . Their commercial turn came from "LOVE ATTACK," the title track of the August 27, 2024 mini album "SCENEDROME," which climbed slowly rather than peaking at release and reached No. 1 on Melon's TOP100 about one year and eleven months afterward . That track also topped the Circle Digital Chart, reached No. 167 on Billboard's Global Excl. US, and was listed by the Recording Academy among "10 K-pop songs that electrified 2024" . Chosun credited the group's self-produced short-form video output for the momentum, pointing to a clip Woni posted with Minami on her personal YouTube channel in March 2026 . For a fifth-generation act without a major-label distribution engine, a full-point win reads less as a single good week than as the point where a slow accumulation of listeners and voters converged.
The Song Behind the Win: A KARA Remake Turned No. 1
"Pretty Girl" is RESCENE's first special remake single, released on July 8, 2026, and a reinterpretation of KARA's 2008 song of the same name from KARA's mini album "Pretty Girl" . Six days after release it carried the group to a full-point trophy, and it did so while sitting at or near the top of Korea's domestic streaming platforms rather than on fan-voting strength alone .
At the time of the win, the chart picture across the four major Korean services looked like this :
- Melon — No. 1 on HOT100, No. 4 on TOP100
- Bugs — No. 1 on the real-time chart, No. 7 on the daily chart
- FLO — No. 6
- Genie Music — No. 10 on TOP 200
The numbers kept moving after the broadcast. Chosun reported "Pretty Girl" at No. 5 on Melon's TOP100 as of 8 a.m. on July 15, 2026, the morning after the trophy . Korean coverage described the track as entering the upper tier of every major domestic platform — Melon, Bugs, FLO and Genie — within days of release, which is an unusual trajectory for a remake handled by a small agency .
Choosing a 2008 KARA track was not an arbitrary nostalgia play. It gave RESCENE a melody with existing recognition among listeners in their thirties while the group's own audience growth was being driven by short-form video, the format where a familiar hook travels fastest. That is the same mechanism Chosun identified behind the group's 2026 momentum, tracing it to member-made clips rather than a paid promotional push .
"Pretty Girl" also had a runway built for it. "LOVE ATTACK," the title track of RESCENE's first mini album "SCENEDROME," was released on August 27, 2024 and became a delayed viral hit, finally reaching No. 1 on Melon's TOP100 roughly one year and eleven months later . That song topped the Circle Digital Chart, charted at No. 167 on Billboard's Global Excl. US, and was listed by the Recording Academy among 10 K-pop songs that electrified 2024 . By the time the remake arrived, a sizable share of the streaming audience had already found RESCENE through the older track — so "Pretty Girl" launched into an established listener base rather than building one from zero.
What Comes Next: The Win Streak and Where to Watch
The Show trophy was not an isolated result. Eleven days later, on the July 25, 2026 episode of MBC's "Show! Music Core," RESCENE won again with "Pretty Girl," beating aespa's "LEMONADE" and TXT member Yeonjun's "Ice Cream" with 6,772 points . That was the group's first win on a terrestrial network program and the second trophy for the single (source: Star News Korea, 2026-07).
One day after that, on July 26, 2026, RESCENE took first place on SBS's "Inkigayo" — this time with "LOVE ATTACK" rather than "Pretty Girl," meaning two different songs from the group's catalog were winning music show trophies inside the same weekend .
"Pretty Girl" kept collecting trophies after that. It won a third "Show! Music Core" in early August, then a fourth on the August 15, 2026 broadcast — earned after RESCENE had already formally wrapped promotions for the single, which Korean coverage pointed to as unusual chart persistence for a fifth-generation act .
The tally for "Pretty Girl" alone as of mid-August 2026:
- July 14, 2026 — SBS Life "The Show," 10,000 points, first career win
- July 25, 2026 — MBC "Show! Music Core," 6,772 points, first terrestrial win
- Early August 2026 — MBC "Show! Music Core," third trophy
- August 15, 2026 — MBC "Show! Music Core," fourth trophy, post-promotion
Fans outside Korea can watch the performances and win moments through each broadcaster's official YouTube channel, where SBS and MBC post full stages and encore clips shortly after air, and through the networks' own on-demand platforms. Clips of the July 14 win, including the members' bow toward the audience, circulated through international K-pop outlets the same week.
The concrete takeaway for anyone tracking RESCENE's schedule: four trophies across two networks in roughly one month, with the last one landing after promotions ended, plus city ambassador appointments in Geoje, Suwon, Gyeongju and Goyang . That combination — sustained chart presence without an active promotion cycle — is the signal to watch for when the group announces its next release or first tour dates.
Frequently asked questions
When did RESCENE win their first music show trophy?
RESCENE won their first music show trophy on the July 14, 2026 broadcast of SBS Life's "The Show," recorded at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul .

The win came roughly two years and four months after the group's March 26, 2024 debut with the single album "Re:Scene" .
How is The Show's 10,000-point score calculated?
