"nugu" group won GRAMMY award, kicked out aespa and Baekhyun, Kpop stirred up suspicions?

Kpop shock! RESCENE, an unknown group from small company MUZE Entertainment, was unexpectedly honored by GRAMMY with "Love Attack", surpassing a series of famous stars such as aespa, Baekhyun, ZEROBASEONE

Founded by MUZE Entertainment - a small management company, RESCENE started their musical journey without strong resources or big support from investors. As a multinational group with 5 members: Woni, Liv, Minami, May and Zena, they had no advantage in media or prominence in the Kpop community.

Specifically, Minami, a Japanese member, participated in the survival show "My Teenage Girl" but was unsuccessful, while Zena, a former model, also failed to make a strong impression when she switched to singing.

Since their debut, the group has released a number of music products, but these products have mostly received little attention and very low interaction. RESCENE has struggled in a competitive Kpop market with popular groups such as aespa, TWICE or BLACKPINK, causing them to be almost forgotten.

Everything started to change when RESCENE released their mini album with the title track "Love Attack", which was also the big bang that helped the group rise from the darkness. With a completely new musical style, integrating retro elements, synthwave, and impressive drops, "Love Attack" not only attracted the audience but also caught the attention of experts.

What makes this song stand out is the perfect combination of accessible music and a strong message about love and freedom, an element that many big groups find difficult to achieve. More than just a good song, "Love Attack" is like a musical manifesto of RESCENE, expressing their confidence and desire to conquer the international music market.

What's more surprising is that "Love Attack" has made it onto GRAMMY's list of "10 Hot Kpop Songs of 2024", alongside popular songs by famous groups like aespa or Baekhyun. Recognized by GRAMMY as one of the most creative and impressive music products, RESCENE is like being given a "passport" to enter the international music world.

RESCENE's sudden GRAMMY recognition surprised many people, and of course, it also created a lot of controversy. Compared to groups that debuted at the same time as aespa or ZEROBASEONE, RESCENE can be said to be a relatively "unknown" name, with few resources and promotional activities. However, they were honored by the GRAMMY while other big groups did not receive the same recognition.

This has caused mixed reactions in the Kpop community. Some people praised RESCENE for their talent and hard work, saying that this is a well-deserved recognition for a group with great potential.

However, many people are skeptical about the GRAMMY criteria, saying that this award has overlooked big names and more outstanding music products from groups belonging to big companies like SM Entertainment or JYP. Some rumors about "buying awards" have even spread online, causing further public uproar.

On forums, fans of famous groups such as aespa, TWICE, or Stray Kids have expressed their anger at the GRAMMY for "ignoring" famous names to award an award to a "nugu" group like RESCENE. Comments such as "Small company, group with few fans but still honored, so is the GRAMMY really fair?" or "There must be something shady behind" quickly caused a stir in the social network community.

From a forgotten "nugu", RESCENE has now become a notable name not only in the Kpop industry but also in the international music arena. Despite the controversy surrounding the group's honor, RESCENE's GRAMMY recognition is definitely a turning point in the group's career. Can the group create more excellent music products to prove that this honor is not an "accident"?
