RESCENE Storms the Charts With a Fresh Remake of KARA's 'Pretty Girl'
RESCENE's grapefruit-themed remake of KARA's 2008 hit 'Pretty Girl' cracked Melon's Top 10 within three hours of release.
RESCENE released their special single [Pretty Girl] at 6 p.m. on July 8, offering a fresh take on KARA's 2008 hit of the same name. The remake keeps the bright, refreshing teen-pop mood of the original intact while adding RESCENE's own crisp arrangement, resulting in a track reviewers say bridges generations of fans.
Continuing the group's signature 'fragrance' concept for each release, this single is built around grapefruit — its tart, lively character mirroring the song's upbeat energy.
The track climbed fast on release day: No. 22 on Melon's chart within an hour, No. 12 by 8 p.m., and into the Top 10 by 9 p.m. KST. The remake has drawn attention from both longtime fans who remember the 2008 original and RESCENE's newer fanbase, making it a genuine cross-generation moment.
