RESCENE's new title track is heading into a Disney end-credits slot. Disney said on November 4 that 'With', the lead single from the group's fourth EP 'Pulse', will play over the end credits of the animated film 'Hexed' in Korean theaters.

Korea JoongAng Daily, Korea.net and SBS all describe the placement as a first for a Korean girl group on a Disney film. The song is set for both the subtitled and Korean-dubbed domestic versions.

'Pulse' arrived on November 3. 'With' was already climbing Korean charts, and the Disney tie-in extends the song beyond music-show promo into theatrical distribution when 'Hexed' opens in Korea on November 25, per Korea JoongAng Daily and SBS.

Disney Korea had earlier posted a 'Guess Who?' teaser before naming RESCENE as the collaboration artist, according to follow-up reports.

Analysis

Interpretation by 2FC NEWSROOM, not reported fact.

2FC NEWSROOM analysis: An end-credits Disney placement in both subtitled and dubbed Korean prints is unusual visibility for a fourth-EP title track. It pairs RESCENE's Melon-era momentum with a mainstream film window later this month.
