Girl group RESCENE swept the top spots on major domestic music charts the moment their new album dropped.

The group claimed No. 1 positions across the charts with "With," the title track of their fourth mini-album "PULSE," released at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

"With" reached No. 1 on Melon's TOP 100 chart at 8 p.m. — just two hours after release — a feat that is extremely rare for a girl group. The album's B-sides also made a strong showing, with "Finest Thing," "Inside Out," "MEME" and "Dragon" all breaking into the top 10.

Their viral hit "LOVE ATTACK" also held firm in the upper rankings, with seven of the top 10 spots occupied by RESCENE songs at one point.

"With" also claimed No. 1 on Bugs' real-time chart and Genie Music's TOP 200 real-time chart, cementing the group's dominance across all major streaming platforms.

The album was conceived by Lee Ju-heon, CEO of The Muse Entertainment, and a director known as The Full Kim, both of whom contributed lyrics to all five tracks to give the members' narratives a consistent thread. The two also handled the composition and arrangement of the title track "With."

Meanwhile, RESCENE is set to appear at the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards (2026 KGMA), held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul, on Saturday, where they will meet fans.
