RESCENE's WONI leaves stage due to breathing difficulties from tight costume

WONI of the girl group RESCENE abruptly left the stage during a performance at Gyeongju Expo Grand Park on the 31st after a shrunken costume caused breathing difficulties. The incident occurred while performing "Runway" just three days before the group is set to begin comeback activities for their new album "PULSE" on the 3rd.

A startling situation occurred when WONI, a member of the girl group RESCENE, abruptly left the stage after complaining of breathing difficulties during a performance. While performing intense choreography, she suddenly found it difficult to breathe. The unexpected incident, occurring just three days before her comeback, left fans at the scene shaken.

On the 31st of last month, RESCENE attended the opening ceremony for the APEC Summit Memorial Hall held at Gyeongju Expo Grand Park to perform. While performing "Runway," WONI's expression suddenly darkened, and she hurriedly descended below the stage. Her unusual movement sparked immediate concern from fans and netizens watching the performance.

Although WONI's sudden departure left an empty spot on stage, the members did not panic and continued the performance. Her fellow members, including MINAMI, maintained the flow of the stage by dividing WONI's parts among themselves. The members' ability to coordinate without wavering despite the sudden variable drew attention.

Fortunately, WONI returned to the stage later to finish the remaining performance. Although she completed the stage safely, fans' concerns did not easily subside as news spread of her tearing up and hurriedly leaving the stage during the show. Interest in her health grew particularly as she was approaching a new album release.

The cause of WONI's sudden departure was later revealed to be her costume. It was reported that the clothing had shrunk during the washing process just before the performance, but WONI took to the stage wearing it as is. The costume, which had become too small for her body, hindered her breathing while performing intense choreography, ultimately leading to the situation where she could not breathe.

WONI explained the situation herself through a fan communication channel. "I was so surprised because I couldn't breathe during the performance due to the clothes shrinking after being washed," she stated. She explained that she had no choice but to leave the stage because she was greatly flustered by the sudden difficulty in breathing. By explaining the circumstances directly, she also sought to reassure fans who were worried.

While stage costumes are an element that enhances the perfection of a performance, their safety in not hindering a singer's movement and breathing is most important. This case demonstrates that for performances accompanied by intense choreography, the size and fit of the costume must be meticulously checked in advance.

RESCENE is set to release their new album "PULSE" and begin comeback activities on the 3rd. Attention is focused on whether WONI, who startled fans with the unexpected stage incident, will be able to meet them in good health during the new album promotions.
