Her name and date of birth were cross-referenced with profile data. Her August 19th birthday is also confirmed in the agency's 2026 birthday announcement. May and Zena were both born in 2008, but Zena, whose birthday is later, is the group's youngest member. The English spelling of her name is MAY.
May made a pledge during a live broadcast that if a song entered the TOP100 chart, she would run from Seoul to Geoje. As interest grew, she earned the nickname 'Maze Runner,' and in a video featuring 'With Sean' released in July 2026, she discussed her pledge and running. Original video of May and Sean
When watching this content, it's accurate to distinguish between the destination of the pledge and the actual activity undertaken. 'From Seoul to Geoje' was the pledge, and what was introduced on the broadcast was a running coaching and a charity activity collecting steps from fans. Since the chart ranking in the video title can change after posting, it's best to check the context of the conversation in the video's main body.
Watching from beginning to end, you can follow why May asked for help, what advice Sean gave, and the process of trying to transform the promise into a feasible activity. Rather than just watching short humorous scenes, this material allows you to see how the member responded to fans' interest.
A report on July 7 explained that May received steps from fans and described a charity content where she walked 3.26km to match her debut date of March 26. This is distinct from claims that she ran the entire distance from Seoul to Geoje. Report summarizing the video content
The reason this story suits May's introduction is not to create a new position as 'a member who runs well.' It's because fans reacted to a casually made promise, and that reaction led to actual activity. Rather than just remembering numbers, looking at how she connected her debut date to a distance, how fans participated, and scenes where she expressed difficulties, also reveals May's communication style.
On July 3, 2026, Goyang City announced that it had appointed RESCENE as ambassadors the previous day, July 2. It introduced May's connection as a native of Goyang City, having graduated from Jangchon Elementary School and Daehwa Middle School, and stated that May named Ilsan Lake Park as her favorite place in a thank-you video.

Here, May's hometown is Goyang, and Geoje, which appeared in the running pledge, is Woni's hometown. Understanding that these two place names appear in different contexts makes the content easier to grasp. The appointment was also for RESCENE as a whole, not May individually. This is an example where one member's local connection led to activities for all five members.
If you enjoy hometown stories, Liv's introduction to Suwon is also worth seeing. Going a step further than just memorizing city names, it's fun to compare which member introduces which place in their own words. When traveling to places introduced in public materials, it's advisable to check the current information for the facilities separately.

If you want to get familiar with May's voice, first find the sections where she sings in her individual fancam, then listen to the audio of those same sections again. Connecting her face to her parts will make it much easier to recognize her voice in other active songs. Rather than judging her vocal ability from just a short part of one song, it's better to broaden the scope to other songs like Deja Vu and LOVE ATTACK.
When introducing May and Zena together, the term 'maknae-z' (youngest members) is often used. While both were born in the same year, their hometowns and paths of public activity differ. May has Goyang and the running pledge, while Zena has Gyeongju and a history of appearing on Stars Awakening. Their different experiences offer two distinct paths to getting to know these same-year members.
Comparing their individual fancams for the same song makes them easy to distinguish on screen, and watching their conversational content reveals how they respond to each other. If you're curious about Zena, you can continue to Zena's Gyeongju · Stage Guide. The group's overall album order and 2026 music show records are collected in RESCENE Introduction.

Did she actually complete the run from Seoul to Geoje? The materials confirmed here are a running coaching and charity walking activities, not a record confirming completion of the entire distance.
Is May the youngest member of RESCENE? She is the same age as Zena, born in 2008, but Zena is the group's youngest member.
New official videos can be found on the RESCENE channel. For time-sensitive content like birthday events or broadcast appearances, it's better to check new announcements first rather than relying on conditions from past posts.
