Dearest & Singles
This set covers RESCENE's 2nd single album Dearest (2025) together with the standalone Korean singles the group released through mid-2026: "Busy Boy", "Runaway", and their remake of KARA's "Pretty Girl". The songs move from nostalgic sensory memory and a rain-soaked summer mood to frustration with an emotionally unavailable partner, an escape from a life that feels like a cage, and everyday self-confidence. The vocabulary gathers common verbs of feeling and movement, weather and sensory nouns, fixed expressions such as 눈을 감다 and 발을 떼다, and high-frequency adverbs like 갈수록 and 아무렇지 않게.
