The girl group RESCENE’s third mini-album ‘lip bomb’ has received favorable reviews from the domestic popular-music webzine IZM.
RESCENE (Woni, Liv, Minami, Mei, Jena)’s third mini-album ‘lip bomb’ (lip bomb) is drawing attention after receiving high praise from the domestic popular-music webzine IZM (IZM NEO MUSIC COMMUNITY, hereinafter IZM).
The domestic popular-music webzine IZM introduced RESCENE: “Fueled by ‘LOVE ATTACK’ (Love Attack), which climbed back up the charts earlier this year, and by ‘Glow Up’ (Glow Up), which was included in Billboard’s ‘25 Best K-pop Albums of the First Half of 2025’, RESCENE has maintained an unbroken run of activity, from the summer single album ‘Dearest’ (Dearest) to the third mini-album ‘lip bomb’ released in November.”
Regarding RESCENE’s ‘lip bomb’ album, IZM wrote, “The pop appeal of the 8-bit song ‘Bloom’ (Bloom), which begins with 32nd-note hi-hat playing, doesn’t come off, like injeolmi stuck to the roof of your mouth,” and awarded it 4 points. RESCENE earned a high score of 4 out of 5, proving its musical completeness.
It also offered high praise: “In the title track ‘Bloom’, the standout ‘Love Echo’ (Love Echo), and the rhythm-and-blues number ‘MVP’ (MVP), the chest voices of Liv and Minami power the entire group, while the clean sound and unorthodox playing enrich the album as a whole.”
RESCENE’s third mini-album ‘lip bomb’ recorded first-week sales (one-week sales from the release date) of 104,406 copies, setting a new personal best for first-week sales. For a K-pop girl group to surpass 100,000 in first-week sales is unusual, a figure that shows RESCENE’s steadily rising popularity.
RESCENE’s third mini-album ‘lip bomb’ is an album that, like a berry-scented lip balm, gently wraps the heart and carries the intention to spread RESCENE’s fragrance widely through song. It delivers a sincere message about the journey of ‘I’ and ‘we’, who bloom by believing in themselves, and about moving toward the moment everyone has been waiting for.
Beginning with KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’, RESCENE successfully completed the first week of their comeback activities. They then attended the ‘12th Edaily Culture Awards’ on the 2nd and delivered a celebratory performance, continuing active promotions and raising expectations for what comes next.
