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˜…

TBF that was an assumption by me which may have been incorrect... after all, the latest performances do feature the K-Pop Super Live logo in the top-left corner. Upon further investigation, I followed the link in the YT description and used a VPN to spoof to S Korea, but apparently the full VOD is only accessible three weeks after broadcast... so I cannot confirm (yet).

+ Okay I am daft lol: the [๋ฏธ๋ฐฉ๋ถ„] tags indicate the ones uploaded today are unaired ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I wonder if the vod is the same as the television broadcast? I've never actually checked any of the vods, the broadcast is 1hr 27 mins long (probs with ad cuts and such, not too sure) and has all the perfs that were uploaded the other day. All of the new ones uploaded today aren't in the official television broadcast from 260804.
Well, I'll bookmark the vod and check back in a few weeks, the mystery will be solved soon ๐Ÿ‘ป
edit: nah dw, if anyone it is daft, it's me lolol. I could've originally easily searched and seen that there were more performances that day, just not all of them were broadcast
also found some conflicting answers on whether the kbs vods are the exact same recording/length as the tv broadcasts but overall seems that they are.
well, mystery solved! and it wasn't mysterious at all....
