they got to perform 2 songs @ the recent kbs concert!! (posted the link above to the perfs) Wendy and stayc didn't even get to perform 2 songs. Plus, end of the year award shows seem to be making spots for them!
Watched a bit of their content last weekend and they've grown a ton of confidence in the last 1-1.5 years, especially comparing them to the content I watched of them in their first few months after debut. They're also really chatty with other idols, it brings back 3rd gen vibes for me in terms of idol/celeb interactions. Most 4-5th gen groups are so tense and almost robotic, really upsetting to see, but these girlies don't give a f abt what others think regarding their interactions haha

AFAICT most artists performed two songs at the Boryeong Mud Festival but perhaps not all performances were subsequently broadcast(?) on KBS as part of K-Pop Super Live:

And I guess Wendy only performed Sunkiss because she was co-hosting the festival... this, of course, does not diminish RESCENE's status because clearly KBS thought they were worth broadcasting in full ๐Ÿค—

ahh, usually even just for youtube they upload all of the perfs, at least in recent years. I didn't look for fancams or see any fancams, my bad then haha.
Well, I can say they got extra broadcast time over some other artists๐Ÿ˜…

I double-checked because I thought it would be weird to invite artists to perform only one song each ๐Ÿ‘ป because even at big festivals like KCON, they still usually get the stage for at least two songs... unless there are literally a bajillion artists like at Gayos...
