Won-i, leader of RESCENE, has gained attention as the 'Geoje Girl' through YouTube, demonstrating a new pathway for rookie idols from small-to-mid-sized agencies to reach the public. Won-i began attracting interest after appearing on the web variety show 'My Senior Yeonsu' in August last year, and launched her personal YouTube channel 'Hello, I'm Won-i, Nice to Meet You' in February. On the channel, Won-i consistently received positive responses through her unpretentious and honest approach, incorporating her Geoje dialect and hometown stories without hesitation. The turning point came from a 'gyaru concept' video with member Minami, where Won-i's brief reaction 'Geoje, Yaho!' went viral, and fans began calling her the 'Geoje Girl.' This nickname resonated strongly because the regional name was distinctive—not a major city like Seoul or Busan—and stood apart from the polished images most rookie idols project. Won-i's individual character lifting RESCENE's overall recognition exemplifies how mid-tier agencies can survive in the short-form content era without major investment, challenging traditional debut strategies.
