Girl group RESCENE proved its presence by taking home trophies in four categories at the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA). Adding to the achievement, Lee Ju-heon, CEO of their agency The MUZE Entertainment, won Producer of the Year, marking a sweep with both artist and producer honored.

◆ Sweeping Four KGMA Categories... Backed by 'Love Attack' Reverse-Chart Run and 'Pretty Girl' Success

At the ceremony, RESCENE was named winner in four categories: Best Artist, Berryz Global Fan Choice, Best Memory, and Grand Honors Choice.

Building on their music activities and global fan support, RESCENE also achieved a six-trophy sweep on music broadcast shows this year and topped streaming charts with their new song. Notably, the reverse-chart run of 'Love Attack' and the success of 'Pretty Girl' stand out in their recent activities. Interest in previously released songs revived while their new music also drew attention, expanding the scope of their activities.

◆ Ranked 14th for Best Group at November Netizen Awards... Global Fan Support as a Key Point of Interest

Attention is now focused on how these achievements will carry over to the Netizen Awards, where rankings are determined by fan participation. As of the afternoon of the 9th, RESCENE stands at 14th place in the Best Group category of the November Netizen Awards, currently in its second-half finals.

Having confirmed global fan support at the KGMA, how much fan enthusiasm will consolidate at the Netizen Awards has emerged as a key point to watch. In particular, no votes have yet been cast for RESCENE in the Global Netizen Awards Best Group category. If domestic and international fan interest translates into actual voting participation, the ranking landscape could shift, drawing attention.

◆ CEO Lee Ju-heon: 'I Believed in RESCENE's Potential from the Start'... Ambition of 'K-pop on the World Stage'

Lee Ju-heon, CEO of The MUZE Entertainment, won Producer of the Year. In his acceptance speech, Lee conveyed that he believed in the RESCENE members' potential from the very beginning. He also explained that this achievement was not his alone, but the result of the efforts of company staff and many people who supported RESCENE's activities. Notably, he became emotional while expressing gratitude and apologies to the members. Lee expressed his ambition to continue promoting K-pop on the world stage through RESCENE's music.

This ceremony is also meaningful in that both RESCENE's musical achievements and the production team's role were highlighted. It was an occasion that confirmed the importance of producing—not just the artist's activity outcomes, but setting the musical direction and leading the production process.

With the KGMA quadruple crown, RESCENE added another record to this year's activities. With CEO Lee Ju-heon's producer award added on top, attention is gathering around their future music activities as well. Whether their stage achievements will translate into fans' choices also remains to be seen. With the November Netizen Awards underway as the second-half finals, interest is expected to continue over what ranking changes RESCENE will show in the remaining period and whether global fan enthusiasm will generate new momentum.
