K-Pop Group RESCENE to Headline Halftime Show for Manchester City vs. Atletico Madrid Match

Rising K-pop girl group RESCENE is set to electrify the halftime show of the "2026 Coupangplay Series" soccer match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. Coupangplay announced on July 15 that RESCENE will perform during the halftime of the highly anticipated match scheduled for August 9. The group has recently captured significant attention in the music industry with a dramatic rise to fame. Their popularity surged after a dialect character meme, "Geoje Yaho!", originating from leader Won-i's personal YouTube channel, went viral online. This online buzz translated into chart success, with their special single 'Pretty Girl,' a reinterpretation of the hit song by veteran group KARA, securing a top position on music charts. Previously released tracks like 'LOVE ATTACK,' 'Deja Vu,' and 'Runaway' also experienced a resurgence, climbing the charts. Coupangplay expressed anticipation for RESCENE's performance, noting their consistent engagement with soccer fans through pre-match ceremonies and performances at K League events. RESCENE conveyed their honor in participating in a stage featuring world-class athletes and promised an energetic performance that will create lasting memories. Ticket sales for the "2026 Coupangplay Series" will commence on July 22 via the Coupangplay application, with early bird pre-sales for "Sports Pass" subscribers starting at noon and general sales opening at 8 p.m. that day.
