RESCENE's 'With' Tops Korea YouTube Trend List as Fans Celebrate

A chart position can be a big number, but the fan response may be as simple as 'congratulations.'

On November 7, TubeRank listed 'With' on the RESCENE - Topic channel at No. 1 in its Korean YouTube trending list. The displayed audio-upload metrics were 2.957 million views, 45,000 likes and 1,451 comments. Those are not official music-video view figures.

Fan posts dated November 3 and 4 celebrated chart rankings: one said the song had reached No. 1 on Melon, while another expressed happiness that the new single was No. 1. The specific fan posts are not representative of all listeners.

The actual observed reactions were a November 3 congratulatory post and a November 4 fan message expressing delight. We did not independently read individual comments on the November 7 YouTube audio upload. Earlier international fandom discussions also anticipated a demanding comeback period.

An automatically distributed audio upload, an official music video, and a music-service chart are different measurements; these should not be interchanged.

The November 7 TubeRank snapshot displayed a No. 1 ranking and 2.957 million views for a RESCENE - Topic upload. The November 3 and 4 fan posts were checked separately. We did not play the full music video or independently audit the alleged Melon No. 1.

The next question is whether interest extends into new performances, discussion and longer-term listening.
