I believe RESCENE's popularity has surpassed BTS and BLACKPINK in Korea
While BTS and BLACKPINK are legends, not to mention their global popularity,
at this point, RESCENE's domestic popularity has surpassed BTS, BLACKPINK, and even Lim Young-woong.
And we must also recognize that
the categories of popularity among them are different.
BTS and BLACKPINK are superstars only to those who listen to idol music;
to the general public who may not know idols, they are seen as stars who represent the nation and earn foreign currency, but the number of actual fans is not as large as their fame suggests. (Based on domestic standards)
On the other hand, RESCENE's popularity is characterized by the fact that people of all ages and genders empathize with them and support them with genuine fandom.
It feels like watching the popularity of the old Infinite Challenge members.
The important thing is that their fan base spans all ages and genders.
The range is so wide, from elementary school students to seniors in their 70s and 80s, that they deserve to be called a "national group."
Looking at YouTube videos, there are many comments from fans in their 60s and 70s, and I even saw a comment from someone who identified as being born in 1938 (late 80s) saying they became a fan after watching the An Won-jal-bu video.
When I saw NewJeans during their early debut, I thought they were a huge hit and felt a strange kind of thrill;
at the time, I thought my own emotions were strange,
but this time, I feel the exact same way about RESCENE.
Shortly after NewJeans began gaining popularity after their debut,
there was a debate here on Bulpen about who was "Number 1,"
and then they truly became the undisputed Number 1.
RESCENE will be the same case.
An event will occur where GS25 hands over the number one spot to CU,
and as data proving RESCENE's popularity emerges, creating a snowball effect where fame breeds more fame,
the era of RESCENE will come.
This post will become a legendary thread.
