All language subtitles for Queendom.E01.190829-NEXT-VIU

Every week, new music comes out...

and a countless number of songs rank number one.

That's why we've prepared this show,

to find out who's really at the top.

Six girl groups that represent K-pop...

are making their comeback simultaneously.

A bold competition that will settle the queens once and for all.

We'll begin the battle now.

The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

(Queendom)

Finding the real queens.

A battle of comebacks with K-pop pride on the line,

Queendom.

Hello, I'm Lee Da Hee and I'm here to take you to Queendom.

If six of Korea's best girl groups...

make their comeback simultaneously,

facing competition with one another,

what kind of amazing things would happen?

We have to sing songs that we used to sing with seven people...

with only five people and still pull it off.

Of course, we feel the two members' empty spaces.

(AOA)

It's a new beginning for us.

I want people to know that AOA is still good.

That's what I want to hear.

We'll have nothing to be scared of.

Whether we win or lose, there's nothing to be sad about.

What's important is that we're performing together.

I hope we win since we're competing anyway.

It's fine if we're not the best, but let's not be the worst.

And let's have fun.

I hope we don't get too caught up in the competition and have fun.

(MAMAMOO)

It's fun. I like competing.

I like messing with people's head.

((G)I-DLE)

(We're all busy people here)

(We're like bulldozers in this industry)

(We'll tear them down)

(We'll reach the top)

(You don't have to applaud us, we know we're good)

(Give us that crown)

(Yes, I'm the queen)

We're really full of potential.

We're confident that we can...

show ourselves as idols that grow.

(OH MY GIRL)

We can never show our 100 percent on the stage.

(Lovelyz)

We've done lots of girly things...

as Lovelyz.

We want to break that stereotype...

and show our powerful side.

We're Lovelyz and we can do it.

Of course, it'd be nice if we rank higher,

but even if we can't rank high, as long as people realize...

that we can do lots of things,

that'll be a success for us.

Right here, on this stage,

we'll find out who the real queens are.

The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

(What'll be the theme of the first round?)

(Each team's hit song)

Get nervous.

I hope we win.

Of course, we're confident.

We have to win.

We'll place at least 1st or 2nd, don't you think?

There will be a penalty for the sixth team.

(What's the penalty?)

- That's so brutal. - That's not right.

- What? - That's terrifying.

(The result announcement for the first round)

(Who's the glorious winning team?)

(Who's the last team...)

(that everyone is so surprised by?)

(The real war begins now.)

(Queendom)

(July 2019, the first filming day for Queendom)

(Queendom, the battle of comebacks,)

(is waiting for everyone.)

(The first person that arrived...)

(is a solo artist and not a team.)

(Who's this artist...)

(that nobody knows about yet?)

(Then the second team arrived.)

(It's OH MY GIRL.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(OH MY GIRL had no idea this person would be on the show.)

(How can she be here?)

(A month before the first filming day)

(At agencies of the groups appearing on Queendom)

- Read this. - Okay.

What is it?

Take one each.

Take one.

- Take it. - What is it?

The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

It's expensive, I printed in color.

Oh my goodness.

- Queendom! - This is it.

The battle of six girl groups that are releasing albums simultaneously.

- What? - I've never heard of such a thing.

- That's scary. - That sounds grand.

Even the title of the show sounds pressuring.

It's a war.

We're going to war?

See? It's a war.

- Are we competing? - What is this?

It's something that Jimin loves.

- What? - Competition.

- I hate it. - I hate it.

Read it for us.

"There will be no more comebacks, where everyone avoids..."

"releasing albums simultaneously to have everyone win."

"It's a battle where we find out the real..."

- "girls on top." - "girls on top."

It rhymes. Find out. Girls on top.

From now on, seniors and juniors of K-pop girl groups...

are competing with each other.

(The competition begins now.)

(This is scary.)

All the competing groups are having comebacks on the same day.

- Really? - All six groups at once?

Everyone is having a comeback?

(Surprised)

- Everyone comebacks simultaneously. - Really?

(Su Jeong is panicking.)

Is there a group that you hope is not a part of the show?

- MAMAMOO. - MAMAMOO, because they're so good.

MAMAMOO.

- Seriously... - They're so good.

- We run into them all the time. - I love it.

- MAMAMOO. - MAMAMOO.

Oh my goodness.

(Every group wants to avoid competing with MAMAMOO.)

I just might start acting like an obsessed fan.

There has never been an actual competition for girl groups.

- We've only performed together. - That's right.

So we get a comeback if we win?

Do we compete six times?

We compete with every group.

I'm not the one who produced this show.

I have no idea what's going on.

In this industry, basically, all the groups decide...

their comeback dates to avoid competing with one another.

To prevent that from happening,

- they're making us compete. - They want us to compete.

Oh my goodness.

I've always wanted to compete.

We haven't heard who's going to be on the show with us yet.

Because we've never done such a thing,

we never know where we might end up.

We could possibly win.

People may start noticing how good we are.

I hope people will be impressed by our performances.

And I hope this will be the start of that all.

Competition shows are for...

She loves competition.

I enjoy it.

You've never competed before, have you?

- Not at all. - No.

It's going to be fun.

(Soyeon went on two competition shows in a row.)

(She's scary.)

(She proved everyone wrong and made it to the semi-finals.)

(I'm the veteran for competitions.)

Is there a rap battle like there was in "Unpretty Rap Star"?

So who's going to be on the show?

I don't know everyone.

Tell us what you know.

There was (G)I-DLE.

- What? - (G)I-DLE?

(G)I-DLE.

Is it (G)I-DLE?

They got first place as soon as they debuted.

They do really hip music.

Hip music?

(What do you mean?)

They're very new.

They're hip.

We're not hip and new anymore.

We don't have new music.

Are you scared of any groups?

I hope (G)I-DLE won't be on the show.

They even make their own songs.

They can remix their own songs.

Who's going to be on the show?

Did you hear any rumors about who might be on the show?

I...

(Who?)

heard that MAMAMOO will be on the show.

Whoever we compete against, we have to win.

(We have to win.)

(Our leader is so confident.)

You're so cool.

I always think about winning.

I focus on bringing the opponent down.

I have to win.

It's more embarrassing to lose to our juniors.

We can't lose.

It's okay to lose to seniors...

Yes, that's fine.

But if we lose to juniors...

(We can't lose to our juniors.)

Who else is on the show?

- Tell us. - This is important.

Tell us what you know.

- The producers didn't tell us. - You producers are too secretive.

Other teams don't know that we're going to be on this show.

Really?

I know one team that's going to be on the show.

- Who is it? - OH MY GIRL.

- I hope that other teams... - Are at least conscious of us.

It'll be sad if they aren't.

What do we do?

Go and find out who's competing.

Fine, I'll go find out.

- Right now. - Right now?

- Yes. - I have to head to "Music Bank".

- Go there and find out. - That's a good idea.

Ask around.

Ask (G)I-DLE's manager.

Of course, I have. But he doesn't know either.

Did you tell them that we're going to be on the show?

(A 1-second silence)

What?

(Did you?)

- Did you really? - You shouldn't have!

(What did you just do?)

You told him.

- No, I didn't. - You told him, didn't you?

- He definitely did. - He did.

Why would you tell anyone?

I just said that we're considering.

Go to "Music Bank" today and tell them that we won't do it.

Tell them that we won't be on the show.

Tell them that we've decided to not be on the show.

- You've been telling people! - I just said we're in a discussion.

Stop fighting.

What was that?

(We're going on the show anyway.)

(Everyone was curious to see who else was on the show.)

Do you know what other teams are going to be on the show?

I really want to know.

What you've all been curious about...

What you wanted to hear the most...

(The competing teams are finally being announced!)

There are six teams in total.

We'll tell you which teams are on the show, one by one.

Right now?

- Please tell us. - Tell us!

I'm really curious. Please tell us already.

Control yourself.

First...

Oh my goodness.

What do we do?

I don't want to hear this.

(Please tell us already.)

(G)I-DLE.

(Wow.)

No way.

I got goosebumps.

They're going to be good.

(G)I-DLE.

(Screaming)

I love that song.

- She keeps copying the teaser. - Show them.

- Why? - 5, 6, 7, 8.

(She does it anyway.)

(I can't watch this.)

((G)I-DLE, looking forward to seeing you!)

The second group is...

OH MY GIRL.

No way.

That's good.

We always see them on shows.

- True. - We've seen them a lot of times.

- OH... - OH MY GIRL?

(Nice to meet you!)

OH MY GIRL will be on the show?

OH MY GIRL!

Another senior team is Lovelyz.

- As expected. - We expected this.

What should we do?

And...

this group starts with an M.

- MAMAMOO! - It's MAMAMOO.

I expected this.

I thought they'd be on the show as mentors.

(What do you mean?)

Mentors?

They're basically teachers to us.

MAMAMOO.

(Are you serious?)

That's too strong.

- That's a challenge. - What's our expected ranking?

- First place. - Hey.

(Getting a sense of the reality)

- We're done. - What?

I think this is the end for us.

Our goal is to place first since it's a competition.

We're here to settle it once and for all.

(We're here to settle it once and for all.)

MAMAMOO.

No way!

Hold on. Are they the oldest group?

There's one more team to go.

There are five teams? No way.

(Where did the determination go?)

- There are two more teams left. - There's one more team to go.

- 2 teams. - Are there 2 left?

- A... - Pink?

Is it Ailee?

- Is it Ailee? - Is it April?

- A... - Pink!

Everyone, stop talking.

Stop talking.

It's not a quiz show.

- It's AOA! - AOA?

Is it AOA?

It's AOA.

That's amazing.

It's AOA.

(Really?)

No way.

We were too honest with our reactions.

(This is bad.)

- There's one more team left, right? - The last one, let's hear it.

I'm so scared.

The last team will be revealed on our meeting day.

What?

Come on.

- Why? - Why?

- Why won't they tell us? - I want to know.

- So the other teams... - Don't know either.

Does that one group know who we all are?

Isn't that unfair then?

It's a competition.

You're right.

- Who is it? - Who can it be?

Are you really not telling us?

Are you scared that we'll run away?

What if it's Girls' Generation.

Then we're done.

We're babies compared to them.

We're not even chicks to chickens. We're eggs.

We're just eggs.

Maybe it's Kim Yon Ja.

(Could the 6th contestant be Kim Yon Ja?)

Is it Fin.K.L?

(Are they riding their camping car to Queendom?)

Amazing.

(Promise us that you'll meet us at the first meeting.)

(A month later, the first meeting day)

(Who's the 6th competing artist...)

(that everyone was making assumptions about?)

(Is it really Kim Yon Ja?)

(Is it Fin.K.L?)

(Queendom's last artist is a solo artist.)

(It's Park Bom.)

(11 years as an idol, she's known to be a unique vocalist.)

(She's aiming for Queendom.)

I want to work with new people...

and go back to where I was before.

Since they're all my juniors,

I think there will be a lot for me to learn from them.

I'm looking forward to it.

(Everyone is excited about Park Bom's stage.)

I kept getting anxious,

so I tried to think about other things.

(She's zoning out.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Nice to meet you!)

(It's Park Bom!)

I was wondering why she was sitting there.

How? Why?

I can understand why the last competitor was kept a secret.

I panicked.

No way.

- Hello. - Hi.

(Looking around consciously)

What group are you?

(Bom?)

(Sighs)

(Shakes her head)

I knew about OH MY GIRL,

but I just wasn't feeling well.

That's why I forgot their group name.

They're so pretty,

and they all talk so politely.

I was so focused on meeting new juniors...

that I forgot who they actually are.

- We're OH MY GIRL. - We're OH MY GIRL.

(Clapping and cheering is the best way to remedy awkwardness.)

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

(Carefully sits down)

(The studio quiets down again.)

I'm nervous already, though we haven't done anything.

(They're so conscious of Bom.)

(The remaining four seats are empty.)

(Who is the next team coming up?)

- They're coming. - I want to see them.

- Are they tall? - Is it AOA?

Really?

(Who is the third team?)

They are coming in.

Where do we sit?

(Lovelyz)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Nice to meet you.)

- Hello. - Hello.

Your hair is so long.

(Me?)

(She was actually talking to her friend, Jiho.)

(It's nice to see you here.)

(The two teams with refreshing charm are meeting here.)

This is amazing.

Hello.

(The greetings never end.)

While they all were groups,

I was the only single artist there.

So I felt a little shy.

I love your songs.

Thank you. Which one?

- I like "Spring". - I like the song a lot.

I've been a big fan since when you were a trainee.

Thank you.

(End of conversation)

Why are you being so modest?

- What? - Why are you being so modest?

- I'm shy. - You're not usually like that.

That's not true.

(They seem happy.)

I think we look alike.

There were my friends and members I'm close with.

So I tried to help them relax.

(Who are coming next?)

(Hearing footsteps)

(Who are they?)

Hello.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hello.

(MAMAMOO is showing up.)

- Hello. - Hello.

- They're so cool. - Hello.

(They respect each other while feeling awkward.)

(MAMAMOO seems more nervous than usual.)

We are very shy of strangers,

so I'm worried if they'd take us the wrong way.

- Let's go. - Let's do this.

Guys.

(Congratulation)

(Clapping)

(She just said they are shy.)

Oh my goodness.

(It's a cheerful birthday party for Hwa Sa.)

Shall we take a picture together?

(They are very playful when they are alone.)

1, 2, and 3.

(Extremely calm)

They seem so lively.

(It's like they're made of stone.)

(They are serious, strict, and solemn.)

(Meanwhile,)

You should do it more often.

(OH MY GIRL and Lovelyz never stop talking.)

We're being too loud. Are we being too noisy?

No, I'm just being desperate.

I can't stand this awkward atmosphere.

(When do we start?)

(Looking around)

Can I join your team?

- I'm alone. - I see.

I'm intimidated.

Come here.

- Let's go. - Hello.

(The fifth team is showing up.)

(Who are they?)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Let's go.

- Hello. - Hello.

(The 5-member group, AOA)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(They are AOA.)

They are really tall.

(AOA, it's nice to meet you.)

(Avoiding their eyes)

The members of MAMAMOO were sitting in front of me,

so I avoided their eyes.

It felt somewhat embarrassing and strange.

It was awkward, so I avoided them.

Why am I feeling so scared?

Scared of what? You don't have to be afraid.

What are you scared of?

I'm just scared.

This is too wild.

It feels unrefined.

(There are still empty seats for the youngest group.)

(Why aren't they coming?)

(Right then...)

- What? - I'm startled.

(Are they (G)I-DLE?)

(The two MCs of Queendom are entering.)

Da Hee.

(MC Lee Da Hee)

This is amazing.

(They are fascinated her goddess-like charm.)

- Please have a seat. - Hello.

This is unbelievable.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

I was so surprised.

It felt like she just came out of a drama.

I couldn't say anything.

She was so beautiful.

The most popular K-pop girl groups are...

making their comebacks on the same day and time.

It's a head-to-head contest where we decide a real winner.

The battle of comebacks,

- Queendom. - Queendom.

(The battle of comebacks, Queendom)

(Excited)

Hello, I'm the Queen MC of Queendom, Lee Da Hee.

(She's a queen actress.)

Nice to meet you.

Hello. I'm Dom of Queendom,

Jang Sung Kyu. Nice to meet you.

(Nice to meet you.)

I'm glad to meet you all here today.

The youngest group of Queendom, (G)I-DLE couldn't make it today...

due to their overseas schedule.

I would ask for your understanding.

I think the members of (G)I-DLE...

would be the ones who are the most nervous at this point.

The other senior artists tried hard to take time...

out of their busy schedule to gather together here.

But the youngest group didn't come.

They must be nervous.

Sung Kyu.

- That's not right. - Why not?

I don't want you to create an awkward atmosphere like that.

(She's the best.)

The battle of comebacks, Queendom...

is a show where the best K-pop girl groups make their comebacks...

on the same day and time to compete with each other.

But basically, we aim for peace.

Do you aim for peace when you call it the battle of comebacks?

That's just ridiculous.

Now that we have the top six girl groups here,

I hope they will compete fiercely with each other.

It's competition time.

What am I supposed to do?

The final performances will come to the stage on October 31.

I guess it will be the first time that the six girl groups are...

making their comebacks on the same day for a battle.

That's right.

(They all have different schedules for their comebacks.)

(The best 6 K-pop girl groups...)

(are making their comebacks on the same day for the first time.)

I'm really scared.

I'm not sure if we could win the competition.

But I want to give it a try and take an active part in it.

I've made up my mind to do this.

I'll have to try my best like crazy.

I think I should do a good job.

It'd be great if I win first place.

I'm under a lot of pressure.

But I want to win first place at least once.

At least once.

Actually, we haven't introduced...

the real protagonists of Queendom to our viewers yet.

Since the members of (G)I-DLE aren't here today,

the second youngest group, OH MY GIRL will go first.

Please say hello to our viewers.

1, 2, and 3. Found you, OH MY GIRL.

- Hello, we're OH MY GIRL. - Hello, we're OH MY GIRL.

- What do we do? - They are the youngest ones here,

so they don't know what to do.

How are you feeling after seeing everyone at Queendom?

And please tell us if this is what you expected.

I thought things would be a lot scarier than this.

But this is more cheerful than I expected.

And everyone looks...

- My gosh. I'm so nervous. - You thought they'd be scary,

- Right. They're not scary at all. - but they're easy to deal with?

That's not what I meant.

Things are not so serious here.

I think it's nice and lovely.

I see.

Sitting across from them,

Lovelyz is watching them with a smile.

Please say hello to our viewers and tell us how you feel.

1, 2, and 3.

- Hello, we're Lovelyz. - Hello, we're Lovelyz.

Nice to meet you.

I heard Lovelyz showed strong confidence...

about the battle of comebacks, Queendom.

(Shocked)

Oh no.

- Did you do that? - My goodness.

All right then. Lovelyz, please take a look around here...

and tell us your chances of winning.

(What did you say?)

(That's so cruel.)

My goodness.

It's so cruel.

I'll be humble.

I'll be humble. I'd say it's 50 percent.

I'd say it's 50 percent.

Are they Lovelyz? Is that right?

They were cute.

They are being very humble.

She says it's 50 percent as she's being humble.

Actually, from what I heard,

they said...

they have a 98 percent chance of winning.

We were feeling good that day.

We didn't know anything about our opponents back then.

We had no idea.

I think we have a high chance of winning.

Because we all are very good.

Can you give us a specific number?

A specific number?

Let's say it's 95 percent.

No, let's go with 98 percent.

98? All right.

The other two percent is for the viewers.

We didn't hear anything about the opponents.

- We didn't know anything. - Right.

We just tried to be confident.

Have you changed your mind after meeting them?

- Yes. - We're being modest.

We should be humble.

Anyway, Lovelyz is showing...

a lot of energy to intimidate the opponents.

I can't wait to watch the battle of comebacks.

All right. Next up is...

the strongest opponents picked by Lovelyz.

MAMAMOO, please say hello.

(Excited)

I say MAMA, MAMAMOO

- Hello, we're MAMAMOO. - Hello, we're MAMAMOO.

(They say hello with sweet voices.)

Many people have high expectations for MAMAMOO's performance.

I wonder which team's performance MAMAMOO is looking forward to.

We of course...

(It's a very tense moment.)

We of course...

really look forward to Bom's stage.

She's someone we've been looking up to...

ever since we were in school.

That's why we're really excited to watch her perform.

It's an honor.

Thank you.

Let's be friends.

I really love them,

so I asked my manager to get their numbers.

I told them that I wanted to be friends with them.

It was really nice.

Someone in Lovelyz...

said that MAMAMOO shouldn't compete,

but should be mentors instead.

They were scared yet excited to see you on the show.

No way.

We're not there yet.

Looking around,

do you see a team...

that you feel like...

you can easily beat them?

(MC Jang is trying to start a war!)

- There's no such team. - Not at all.

They're too kind.

- It's too early for that. - They're too nice.

This is driving me crazy.

It's still the beginning, they've just met.

AOA,

please introduce yourselves.

(We haven't done this in a long while.)

Hello, we're Ace of Angels, AOA.

Your greetings sound...

quite different from how you usually do them on other shows.

AOA, you guys seem a little down.

What makes you...

so careful?

It's embarrassing.

I was nervous about how many people there were.

We haven't been on a show with just the five of us.

Everything is new, from singing songs with just the five of us...

to just being on the stage.

- We're scared and nervous. - Nervous.

You've all waited long for this moment. Park Bom.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Park Bom.

Nice to meet you.

You're the only solo contestant,

- you must be pressured. - I'm really pressured.

I was trying not to be nervous, but here I am.

I was thinking, who am I and why am I here?

- Anyway, Mi Joo of Lovelyz... - Oh my gosh.

said in the pre-filming interview,

that she won't let the seniority get in the way of competing.

Why don't you say something...

to Park Bom?

Mi Joo.

She's the oldest senior here.

No way.

I wasn't sure if I should do it or not, since she's a big senior.

Bom,

I have a lot of respect for you.

We'll get there too.

Okay, go ahead.

(What a warm senior Bom is.)

That was just for fun, but our album releases are real.

I'm determined to win.

Sung Kyu, after agreeing to join the show,

the contestants of Queendom...

were the most curious about how the competitions will go.

I heard that a lot of you...

thought that it'd be a tournament type competition,

but no, it's a battle between all six groups at the same time.

(It's a group competition with 6 groups competing simultaneously.)

That's a relief.

The final rankings, from 1st to 6th,

will depend on three components.

There's the competition component, where you perform three rounds...

and earn scores based on your rankings.

There's also the comeback album component based on the sales,

then the live comeback performance scores.

Those three parts will add up to decide who wins in the end.

That's right. What kind of benefits...

await for the final top group?

Is there anything in particular you want when you win?

- Cash? - Cash?

Two million dollars.

Two million dollars?

(You can't help but applaud at the sound of that.)

Why don't we just change our show from Queendom to Lottery?

(Let's just change our show title.)

The final winning team of Queendom...

will get a solo comeback show.

That's amazing.

(I want that.)

(The dream of every singer)

(A solo comeback show)

I really want it.

We've never done such a thing.

I always thought that was only for privileged boy groups...

that are really popular.

Everyone on the show...

must've loved to hear that.

The greatest gift a singer can give...

to their fans is performance.

That's why that's the best benefit.

Having a comeback show is one of my biggest dreams.

A solo comeback show...

isn't something we can do just because we want it.

I thought that was really bold.

However...

(What is it?)

There will be a penalty...

for the group that places last.

That's so sad.

If a group places sixth twice in a row on the show,

[VIU Ver] Mnet E01 'Queendom'
"Who's Going First?"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

they have to leave the show.

That's terrible.

(Shocked)

You can't be on Queendom anymore.

(An unexpected penalty, getting kicked off from the show)

I was so shocked.

I was astonished.

It's getting brutal now.

I felt like I was walking on thin ice.

(You darn producers.)

I was really surprised,

but so was everyone.

We expected this.

We knew it just from reading the title of the show.

We'll now reveal the theme of the first round...

for the battle of comebacks, Queendom.

(Swallows)

Your...

hit songs...

will be what you perform for the first round.

(The battle of comebacks, Queendom)

(The theme of the first round)

(A newly remixed hit song of each group)

(Look forward to familiar songs made new.)

I started to really want to be at the top.

I want to win.

I really want to win.

I'm confident.

When I compete, I always think about winning.

Our goal is obviously to win.

The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

The real war has begun.

In the three rounds to the final competition,

not only will groups get points based on their rankings,

but the winning team of each round...

can decide who will perform when.

(That's nice.)

Then what do we do when there's no first place...

- to decide for everyone? - Right.

Right here,

you're all going to...

(Is this going to be what I think it is?)

you're all going to...

decide together the order of the performances.

What do we do?

What is this nonsense?

You want us to do that together?

- I can't think right now. - That's brutal.

That's a no for me.

Who would give up a good place for another group?

Rock, paper, scissors?

No.

Let's see the order board.

(The performing order for the first round)

(How will the order be decided?)

From now, you have 10 minutes...

to decide the order of your performances.

If the 10 minutes pass...

and you still don't have your group's name on this board,

you will be penalized 1000 points.

- What? - Seriously?

(What did you just say?)

Isn't this ridiculous?

Feel free to fight for someone else's place.

Then what about (G)I-DLE?

(G)I-DLE?

Because they're absent,

you can punish them if you wish.

You can omit them from the order and have 1,000 points penalized.

What?

The 10 minutes begin now.

(The best part of every concert...)

(is the ending.)

I hope you all find a good spot.

In music shows,

more popular groups perform towards the end.

The hottest groups of the time get to perform at the end.

That's the dream stage.

Sixth spot?

I want the end.

I thought it'd be nice if we could perform in the end.

I really want to try performing at the end.

I want to give it a shot.

Isn't it going to get competitive?

(Who will step up first?)

The 10 minutes begin...

- now. - Now.

(Everyone is looking around.)

(Who will make the first move?)

Should we go?

Go.

(The strongest contestant, MAMAMOO)

(Will MAMAMOO go for the finale as expected?)

(Everyone is crowding around the board)

(Will Moonbyul go for the sixth spot?)

(First!)

(5 minutes ago)

- Let's just be nice. - Let's.

Should we go first then?

Sure, I don't think it matters when we perform.

Right.

- Let's just go first then. - First.

We figured that nobody wanted to go first.

As long as we perform well,

it'd be nice.

It just felt right to do so.

Even if MAMAMOO performs first,

- it wouldn't affect them at all. - Right.

I just feel like they'll do a really strong opening.

They seemed so relaxed.

It seemed so cool how she just went for the first spot.

I could feel their confidence in that.

(AOA picks the 4th spot.)

(Lovelyz picks the 5th spot.)

- Okay. Let's go third. - Su Jeong.

Number two.

I wanted to perform second.

I want to perform when my throat is in good condition.

So I thought I might as well perform sooner.

((G)I-DLE will go 3rd.)

Hey, wait. Only the sixth spot is left.

- Then go with number 6. - Choose number 6.

- Choose number six? - Yes, that's fine.

- Yes, choose number 6. - That's fine.

(Will the youngest team go last?)

But I feel bad.

If you'd like, you may change your decision.

(Why are they laughing?)

(Since they are not here...)

- At least we put theirs up. - At least we put theirs up.

- I like that. - Let's go with this.

I'm really sorry.

- Good job. - That went well.

- That's so cute. - I feel bad for (G)I-DLE.

(It was quite peaceful than expected.)

We are done.

We are done.

If you perform last,

the audience might give you extra credit.

- They may forget your stage later. - Should we change with (G)I-DLE?

- Right now? - Carefully consider...

(What are they talking about?)

- It's the ending stage. - I'll give you another chance...

- to make your decision. - Should we change?

Since we won't have a chance to do the ending stage,

I thought we might as well try this time.

(Seol Hyun gets up from her seat to change their order to last.)

Hold on a second.

(Moonbyul stands up at the same time.)

My goodness.

What are you going to do?

(She puts OH MY GIRL in the first spot.)

Come on.

- Moonbyul, what are you doing? - Moonbyul.

- Moonbyul, what are you doing? - Moonbyul, what are you doing?

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

- Moonbyul. - What?

- What? - Moonbyul.

(AOA quietly puts...)

((G)I-DLE in the 4th spot...)

(and decides to go last.)

(Exclaiming)

(Good job.)

Hyo Jung.

- Should we change with Lovelyz? - Performing first is hard.

(What did you say?)

(It's a total madhouse.)

(The two teams finally show their true colors.)

(Is this "Idol Star Athletics Championships"?)

(They fight over who goes when.)

- That's not right. - It's a battlefield.

(The order is in confusion all over again.)

- We choose to go 4th. - We choose to go 4th.

(Should we change our order?)

(What are you going to do?)

- Add a bit of fun. - How?

Go up there and add a bit of fun.

- How? - What?

(Which team are they going to throw into confusion?)

- Go. - You're a people person.

No, I'm not.

- First... - No, don't do it.

(The expression on Moonbyul's face bothers the other teams.)

- No way. - MAMAMOO.

Moonbyul.

- Moonbyul. - Moonbyul.

(Moonbyul puts AOA first.)

(Ji Min tries to stay calm.)

They changed our spot.

Let's be fair.

(That's right.)

We can take them all down before it ends.

(What?)

(To be continued.)

(That's right.)

We can take them all down before it ends.

(What?)

You're right.

- You're right. - Are you serious?

We can take everyone's down except for ours.

- That's clever. - Just leave ours on.

(Watch out, everyone.)

This is interesting.

It's not that I thought she was cheeky, but...

That was quite spiteful.

We tried to heighten the pitch.

That was a joke.

It was a joke from the outsiders.

(Lovelyz are going after OH MY GIRL.)

(Lovelyz seems to be deep in thought.)

We didn't want to go...

right before or after OH MY GIRL.

That's because we're quite alike.

I don't want to perform back to back with Lovelyz.

Because we have similar music style.

(Lovelyz is also thinking the same thing.)

Hyo Jung, let's perform third.

Number three.

That's good.

And put (G)I-DLE on the fourth.

Okay.

(1 minute and 30 seconds left.)

(AOA is still going first.)

(Getting nervous)

(Moonbyul, go.)

(She removes MAMAMOO from 6th...)

(and places AOA instead.)

This is how it was meant to be.

Wasn't that the original order?

(It brought AOA back laughing.)

Change the order of other teams again.

You do it.

We love peace.

Hey, hey, look.

I'm going to run up there 30 or 15 seconds before it ends.

And change everything.

- Seol Hyun. - Yes?

I think they will change it a minute before it ends.

I think someone will change the ending team.

I won't let that happen.

(Hwa Sa is playing alone.)

(There's only a minute left.)

(Will the order be confirmed like this?)

Should we take off (G)I-DLE?

What?

- Can we change the other teams too? - Yes.

That's too mean.

Why?

This will go out as a preview.

(Why is it so noisy?)

Why did you move?

- I just wanted to see. - Keep your cool.

Don't move.

(Did she notice?)

They keep standing up.

(OH MY GIRL gets on her nerves.)

MAMAMOO kept on changing the order.

So I was going to keep my eyes on her.

My goodness.

OH MY GIRL started to make a fuss.

I had to stop them.

I couldn't keep still.

There are only 30 seconds left.

(If anyone wants to do something, now is the time.)

Let me try.

Would it be too harsh to take (G)I-DLE off?

- There are only 30 seconds left. - Oh, my goodness.

- Finally. - What?

- What? What? - How about I take off (G)I-DLE?

For real?

It will benefit the both of us.

Mi Joo.

(The team that's not on the board will...)

(get penalized 1,000 points.)

(What are you going to do?)

(What will happen to (G)I-DLE?)

(Should I really do it?)

(Are you sure?)

Let's leave them on there.

Let's not take them off. They'll be upset if we take them off.

(Will this end peacefully?)

Come back to your seat.

(It won't do.)

- Mi Joo. - Hey.

(The destiny of (G)I-DLE is...)

(entirely in Mi Joo's hands.)

2, 1, stop.

Okay.

It'd be fun if I removed them.

You shouldn't.

According to the board, no team will be penalized 1,000 points.

- There is none. - There is none.

I really wanted to remove them.

Because it could've been an opportunity.

But when OH MY GIRL said,

"It'd really upset them",

I changed my mind.

What if OH MY GIRL didn't say that?

I would've removed them.

- I thought about... - Everyone rushed out...

taking everyone off the list.

Let's say I removed everyone...

and they got 1,000 points penalized.

It'd be a ridiculous situation if we still lose.

- So I didn't remove them. - You thought about it a lot.

Which order did you choose to perform?

- 1st. - We chose 1st.

We are very satisfied.

We are happy.

I chose to perform second.

Was I third?

I perform second.

I was worried I'd lose my voice.

- Did you intend it? - That's my strategy.

I'm really satisfied.

I wanted to perform 4th or 5th.

I won't be able to handle the ending stage.

- I feel pressured. - I know.

We will make sure our performance is worthy of being the ending.

- We will prove ourselves. - We will prove ourselves.

Please look forward to it.

(After the meeting,)

(Queendom prepares for the contest in earnest.)

(They practice until they get used to rearranged songs.)

(The dawn of the contest)

(Ilsan B Studio)

(Who arrived first?)

(Who?)

Please make me look pretty.

Thank you for coming early in the morning.

(She enters with a kind smile in a relaxed manner.)

- Where do I go? - Over there.

(Bom is very obedient.)

(She enters her waiting room.)

What is this?

I haven't put on makeup yet. I should open my eyes wide.

Everyone, I haven't put on makeup yet.

I have no makeup on.

(See you later.)

(The groups arrive one after another.)

(Opening the car)

(AOA is the second to arrive.)

Thank you for coming early in the morning.

You're right.

It's a windy day.

Good morning.

(OH MY GIRL is the third to arrive.)

I'm very nervous,

but at the same time, I'm excited.

- Here we are. - Queendom Lovelyz.

The battle has begun.

- The battle has begun. - See you later.

I didn't sleep.

I stayed up all night long.

I feel like I'm not myself a little bit.

Still, I'm enjoying this.

Hello.

((G)-IDLE appeared in Queendom for the first time.)

- What's this? - A waiting room?

- Here we are. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Minnie found out something.)

It's the cue sheet for the first performance.

The first one to go is MAMAMOO.

- Really? - The second one is Park Bom.

- Oh, my. - What happened?

We're the fourth one.

- We'll go the fourth. - When is our turn?

Goodness.

We won't overlap with anyone.

We can make any color. We don't care about our turn.

(They're very confident.)

What's this monitor for?

- It's amazing. - What's this?

Isn't this monitor too large? I feel uncomfortable.

Did they out here so that we can see it?

We're not allowed in the rehearsal room.

(Viewing rehearsals are strictly prohibited.)

What's the use of watching it? We'll perform today anyway.

- I'm curious. - You're curious, though.

I'm deceiving myself.

- Are you? - I'm deceiving my brain.

I'm not curious.

- We can make it. - We can make it, right.

We practiced a lot.

Right. Don't get tired, everyone.

Your voice sounds like you're already tired.

No, I slept a little bit in the car.

- That's good. - Right.

Our most powerful rival is within ourselves.

- Exactly. - It's myself.

I'm having a battle against myself today.

Queendom is a battle against ourselves.

- That sounds philosophical. - It really does.

This is real.

I don't know how many times I've watched the choreography video.

You know how it is to dance in your head.

I move my body when I dance in my head.

That's right.

- You move your body. - You do it unconsciously.

We can do it well.

I want to see the rehearsal.

I guess we can expect one another's performance.

I have no idea.

How big is the audience?

50 of them? 500 of them?

- It's unbelievable. - 500 people are going to show.

It would be like our mini-concert.

That's amazing.

Gosh, I really feel pressured.

Actually, since there are a lot of senior singers...

who have the biggest hit songs,

I feel less confident because it's a hit song.

(At the same time)

(The last team gets off from the car.)

(MAMAMOO appears in a very natural look.)

(They look powerfully confident.)

(She slumps down in the chair.)

(Is she sleeping?)

(Is she sleeping?)

We burnt our passion so much yesterday.

She's sleeping.

My throat went hoarse in the middle.

During the concert?

I was going to perform for the encore...

and my voice sounded really hoarse.

(EXCO, Daegu)

(For two days before the competition,)

(MAMAMOO had a concert.)

(The place was heated up.)

(They came home after performing 4 hours.)

It feels cool.

There is nothing better than being at home.

This isn't our home.

- Ouch! - I'm sorry.

Why are you being so sensitive?

- It's about time I feel sensitive. - I can't help being sensitive.

We'll go back to Seoul from Daegu.

And the next day...

We'll perform for Queendom.

We still have to do the competition.

Everyone's throat is not in the best state now.

I think I've completely lost my voice.

But we did prepare a little before we came here.

- Right. - Right, yesterday.

(They practiced for the competition until the day before the concert.)

(MAMAMOO was busy for 2 weeks with the concert and the competition.)

(Now they only have the real competition left.)

(Can they do well?)

How do you feel today?

I'm not sure.

Our condition is not good.

Can we do it well? I'm worried.

(Moonbyul takes care of the other members even when she's tired.)

We'll start the rehearsal.

(Each team has a rehearsal before the competition.)

- I suddenly got scared. - Right.

- We can do it, (G)I-DLE! - We can do it!

We can do it!

- It's our first rehearsal. - The first rehearsal.

It drives me crazy.

I suddenly want to go to the bathroom.

I'm worried about the choreography.

Our choreography changed more powerfully.

I'm most worried about doing it awkwardly.

(Park Bom's rehearsal comes next.)

My goal is to take first place.

It's competing by singing.

I don't like losing.

Performing itself would make me filled with emotions.

You went to A Rin's back in the rehearsal.

Is it because I went to her back?

It's the first time for OH MY GIRL to enter...

a competition show as a whole group.

I hope we have a good outcome as we wish.

As we're the youngest team,

you might think we're not good enough.

But we'll try to win.

(1 hour before the competition)

(The audience evaluation team stands in a long line.)

I'm so curious who'd win.

I wonder how AOA's comeback performance is.

- I hope Lovelyz win. - OH MY GIRL.

- (G)I-DLE? - MAMAMOO.

- It's Park Bom. - You can do it!

- You can do it. - You can do it.

- I love you. - I wish you win.

Please win first place. You can do it.

(The audience enters 30 minutes before the competition starts.)

(A huge audience gathers to cheer for Queendom.)

(Everything for the competition is ready!)

There are so many people.

Did it start now?

It has started.

- Did it start? - It started.

(Her mouth goes dry.)

I somewhat feel nervous before doing this.

(Everyone is speechless.)

(They exclaim.)

(They shout.)

(They respond to the awesome performance.)

- That's amazing. - It's awesome.

Great!

Twenty nineteen, Queendom.

Let me introduce today's MCs.

(2 MCs in Queendom appear.)

(Lee Da Hee and Jang Sung Kyu)

(MC Da Hee is a world-class MC.)

It looks like an awards ceremony.

It really looks like MAMA.

Girl groups that represent K-pop...

make their comeback on the same day and time.

It's a sensational head-to-head contest to pick the real queens.

The battle of comebacks,

- Queendom! - Queendom!

Today, the first competition of Queendom will finally begin.

You'll see performances of six teams today.

You can cast votes to two teams in total.

They are scored out of 10,000 points.

The audience's vote will account for 7,000 of the points.

The special audience's vote will account for 2,000 points.

And the self-evaluation from the groups in Queendom...

will account for 1,000 of the points.

Something to note for the special audience vote...

is that a very special rule of winner takes all applies.

The team who gets the most support from the special audience...

will be the only one that gets 2,000 points.

I see.

Who do we have as the special audience...

for our first battle?

Today's special audience...

can be considered the direct junior of these six teams.

The trainees are here!

(Today's special audience are trainees.)

(They look nice.)

What?

Really?

Gosh, really.

Goodness.

It's cruel.

(G)I-DLE, I love you.

I look forward to MAMAMOO's performance the most.

Lovelyz.

I'm personally their fan.

(My secret garden)

AOA.

I feel more nervous for no reason.

All of them deserve to take first place.

I'll cheer for you enthusiastically. I love you.

Performing right in front of their juniors...

would feel so pressured and nervous.

Therefore, you can never reduce tension.

(MAMAMOO)

You can move now.

The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

The competition begins now.

(The audience is heated up.)

It starts now. Goodness.

I feel nervous. Oh, my.

Would even MAMAMOO feel nervous?

- 1, 2, 3. All right. - All right.

Please proceed with your rehearsal.

We prepared a song called "Decalcomanie".

The song gives determined feelings.

I think it will clearly show MAMAMOO's color.

Especially for Queendom this time,

we made "Decalcomanie" more determined.

(MAMAMOO rehearses very seriously.)

I kept on wishing that I wouldn't make a mistake.

(Wheein thought it was her turn.)

I think the concert is still lingering in my mind.

As long as we don't get confused with the concert version...

(But they encountered a bigger problem.)

Let's see each of your ending poses as an ending fairy.

An ending fairy?

Look at the camera.

(What is an ending fairy?)

I've only seen those on TV.

(It's a close-up shot at the end of music programs.)

(She is a good example of an ending fairy.)

Do I look to the front?

Should I wink like this?

This is a bit...

An ending fairy.

I think I should clear my mind.

It is the biggest challenge for us.

This stage... Let's survive.

(No way)

(Everyone is waiting...)

(for the first team.)

The first team to perform for the first contest of Queendom is...

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my.

They're the masters of performance and have a unique aura.

They never let us down. It's MAMAMOO.

Go in.

(MAMAMOO calmly goes up the stage.)

(Exclaiming)

- They are awesome. - Oh, my.

(Cheering)

(Impressed)

(Unlike other teams,)

(Park Bom seems to be really nervous.)

2, 3, I say...

- Hello, we are MAMAMOO. - Hello, we are MAMAMOO.

(The audience greats MAMAMOO with enthusiastic cheers.)

They are known as the strongest contestant.

It's MAMAMOO.

From what I heard,

you held a concert during the last weekend.

Yes.

Because that was only yesterday,

I'm worried about your condition.

How are you feeling today?

It's a lie to say that I'm not tired.

I'm a bit tired,

but we'll do our best on the stage...

and perform wonderfully.

I'm worried a little.

Although you're in the worst condition,

how do you expect your ranking?

What do you think?

(1st place!)

Then I'll agree with them.

They are very relaxed.

You're amazing.

The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

Let's watch MAMAMOO's performance.

Who's running the show?

(MAMAMOO!)

We are the first to perform.

The teams performing later might be remembered better.

Since we are performing first,

I hope we can imprint our performance...

in people's minds.

(Queendom got stirred up by a majestic intro.)

("Decalcomanie" by MAMAMOO)

(Exclaiming)

That gave me chills.

They are incredible.

They emphasized the beginning.

(You are amazing!)

I don't think I could sit there.

Everyone.

(They became MAMAOO's fans.)

Who cares about the contest. I became their fan.

Don't be too awesome.

That was so cool!

Everybody, make some noise.

- Together. - Oh, my!

Clap, clap, clap.

(Together)

I'll give myself to you.

It's Wheein!

Make some noise!

(MAMAMOO started off with a great performance.)

(They finished successfully with perfect ending poses.)

(Exclaiming)

That was awesome!

- Oh, my. - My goodness.

- That was a great start. - Awesome.

They've got the stage heated.

(Gulping)

That was so MAMAMOO and they never disappoint me.

Pack your stuff. Let's go home.

- Pack your stuff. - This is too harsh.

They should've let us know that this show was "MAMA".

They didn't tell us in advance.

That was amazing.

They broke our spirits from the beginning.

(Lovelyz became...)

(speechless.)

Should we practice?

Look at them.

(After MAMAMOO finished their performance,)

(Bom rapidly grew anxious.)

- Thank you. - Good job.

(MAMAMOO heads to their waiting room after the performance.)

- Good job. - Good job.

- Thank you. - Good job.

- Good job. - Good job.

Didn't your throat feel dry?

A little bit.

(They seem to be very relieved.)

I'm satisfied.

It's a bit hard to show our various sides...

on music programs.

Unless we perform at awards ceremonies,

we don't get many opportunities...

to show an elaborate performance like this.

I think this was a great chance.

Is Park Bom up next?

I really want to watch her performance.

(Unlike other teams,)

(she has to go up on stage alone.)

I was determined to prove myself on stage.

(Park Bom has to be on stage alone.)

(Can she meet the audience's expectations?)

Now it's time to meet the second performer of Queendom.

I really want to do well, and I can, but...

I have lots on my mind right now.

(Meeting for choosing a song 8 days before)

We were just discussing which song you should do...

but we think your opinion matters the most.

I think "4:44" will be okay.

You didn't have many songs that had falsetto.

- That's true. - Right?

That's why I think "4:44" is good.

(What will be Park Bom's decision?)

How about "You and I"?

"You and I"?

That's a good song too.

This song is a masterpiece.

It's the first official solo song of mine...

so it is very meaningful to me.

Can I call it that?

I contacted this...

and I got goosebumps when I first heard it.

I will do my best to take first place.

From the globally recognized legendary K-pop girl group...

is the main vocalist of 2NE1.

(There's a fervent response even before she appears.)

I'm getting goosebumps just from hearing this.

It's Park Bom who has come back as a solo artist.

(Good luck, Park Bom.)

She must be very nervous since she's performing alone.

I'm more nervous.

This is really nerve-wracking.

(Oh, my gosh.)

You can go up now.

(Going up on stage now is the second performer, Park Bom.)

(Cheering is getting louder as she appears.)

(Tension can be seen behind her smile.)

I think I have a lot in my mind.

I'm a soloist, so what can I do?

I was anxious and thinking about whether I was doing the right thing.

I missed the days when the members were with me.

I thought of how it'll be great if all of us performed together.

I felt so empty.

(I felt so empty.)

(Members filled the practice room during the 2NE1 times.)

(That emptiness feels bigger now.)

(Park Bom started practicing in earnest.)

("You and I" is a very meaningful song to her.)

(She keeps practicing for a perfect performance.)

I want to sing properly.

I also practiced a lot alone.

I will compete with my singing ability.

She's starting.

(Oh, my gosh.)

(Which song is it?)

(To be continued.)

She's starting.

(Oh, my gosh.)

(Which song is it?)

Wow, she's singing without music.

There's no music.

She must be really nervous.

She must be very nervous since she's singing alone.

I got goosebumps.

It's been a long time since I heard this song.

I think I'll cry if I hear this song.

This song is nostalgic.

I feel like I'm going back to when I was a middle school student.

("You and I" by Park Bom)

("You and I" by Park Bom)

Why do I feel like I'm going to cry?

(Her fascinating tone is attracting attention.)

Everyone knows this song.

- I getting goosebumps. - Me too.

I really got goosebumps. Look.

What? Why?

- What is it? - A blackout.

A blackout?

(What's after the blackout?)

This feels like heaven.

This is amazing.

(The song gave more than the original song.)

(Respect)

This is really touching.

- Wow. - She's wonderful.

(The moment lingers deeply.)

I almost cried.
