[Queendom 2]

Rows and columns,

Diagonal.

The steps we take will pave a road

and those steps shall shape history.

The title that only the worthiest and strongest can earn,

Queen.

A war is beginning, to seek out the sole Queen.

What can the three of us do?

We'll show you,

the potential of VIVIZ.

We are VIVIZ.

[Crown of No. V - VIVIZ]

Your turn.

I no longer want to be a rising star.

They'll have no choice but to recognize us.

We are LOONA.

[Satellite - LOONA]

Your turn.

We're no longer just a "spark."

We'll give you a performance that only Brave Girls can show you.

We are Brave Girls.

[GENESIS - Brave Girls]

Your turn.

We have no intention of backing off here.

Now all that's left is to rise.

Ultimately, we're going to be Queen.

We are WJSN.

[The Secret + SAVE ME, SAVE YOU - WJSN]

Your turn.

The reason why the world is focused on us?

We'll testify with our skills.

We are Kep1er.

[See the Light (Queendom ver.) - Kep1er]

Your turn.

I'll show you on the stage rather than with words.

The greatest performance by the solo artist HYOLYN.

I am HYOLYN.

[9LIVES - HYOLYN]

[Dally - HYOLYN]

The war of Queens that will lead the world.

Run the World.

Queendom 2.

[Queendom 2]

[I was unni's parachute]

I was unni's parachute.*
(Shown favoritism by connection from higher-up)

Run the World, Queendom.

Shortly, 6 teams of girl groups representing K-POP

will finally be revealed right here.

[Grand Master, Taeyeon]

Let's see who jumped into this war to be the sole K-POP Queen

that will take the world by storm.

Shall we meet them right now?

[Queendom 2]

[First day of recording for Queendom 2]

[Awaiting the Queens' first encounter]

Is no one inside yet?

I don't know, I can't!

How can you say you can't when so many people here?

After you came all the way here!

You punk!

So many people are here to cheer for you. How can you say you can't?

Holy crap!

What is this?

- Greet them over here.
- Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

Bye.

[Jubilant girls]

I waited for this day.

I was so curious...

- That's right.
- about what type of people will come.

We're the first ones.
[Cautiously walking in, the first Queen, Brave Girls!]

There's no one!

What is this? Daebak.

Chess, it's chess.

We must be the first ones!
[Chairs are sprawled across the chessboard]

I thought someone was already present, but no one was there.

The first thing we saw as soon as we went in was the number of chairs.

- One, two... five, seven.
- Why are there so many chairs?

7 people?

- 12 people.
- 12 people?

Over there are three, six, nine... nine people!
[Guessing member count by the number of chairs]

Nine people, three people.

I'm so curious. When are they coming?

When are they coming?

We must be the first ones to arrive.
[Who are the owners of the remaining chairs?]

That must be it. We must be the first ones to have arrived.
[Who are the owners of the remaining chairs?]

[Days left until Queendom First Encounter]

[Preview of 6 Queendoms]

[Who is the first Queen we will meet?]

Oh? Queendom 2 TF!

Hello.
[Familiar faces appear]

[Eunha, SinB, Umji]
[VIVIZ]

Hello! We have

debuted eight years ago, but now it's been one month

and we're experienced rookies
[Experienced rookies!]

- VIVI-
- We are VIVIZ!

Yay! We're so coordinated, right?

[The trio had a successful debut as GFRIEND]

Nonetheless, there's anticipation since we redebuted as VIVIZ

and since we've come all this way as GFRIEND, we can't slack from here.

Honestly, the first thought we had was if we'd be able to do well.

We didn't have confidence in ourselves.

But, we started practicing, and it turned out that we were pretty good.

Congratulations, VIVIZ!

A speech if you'd please.
[Their first placement after one week following their debut]

They're coming out as a trio through VIVIZ? I think people might be dubious.

But, since we recently debuted as rookies

we hope people will be interested in us.

- You're interested, right?
- You can't wait, right?

[The place where the second Queen awaits is?]

Everyone, come!

Is this the camera?

Are we the rookies who are intrigued by the camera?

[Who are these energetic rookies?]

Out of the 99 girls,

nine members of the group, Kep1er.

Congratulations!
[The next generation, global girl group Kep1er]

Congratulations! Congratulations!
[The monster rookie group that dominated music broadcasts within 10 days of their debut]

[Now they are racing towards Queendom 2]

Picture! Picture!
[Like energizer...]

Let's take a picture!

Huh? Yujin unni isn't here.

[The absence of the leader is now apparent]

Oh, she's here! She's here!
[Yujin is here!]

[Surrounded by dolphin cries of happiness]

She brought something! She brought something!

We...

We've decided to do Queendom 2.

We did?

It's been confirmed.
[Kep1er casting confirmed for Queendom 2]

[Gently hands over the Queendom 2 proposal]

Oh, my gosh, this is so exciting. What do I do!
[Flutter, flutter]

We're confirmed for Queendom 2!

Really?

Wow! Look at this!
[Evidence provided]

Wow! It's really Queendom 2!

[It's really Queendom 2!]

Oh, my gosh, why am I getting the chills even though I already knew about it?

When I was in middle school, I turned on the TV and Queendom was playing.

While watching the performances of my sunbaenims

I thought, wow, they're so cool.

Will I also be able to participate in a program like that?

I could not even imagine...

But, the fact that I'm going on Queendom 2 is an honor.

Suddenly my competitiveness

is flaring up.

I want to win!

"Kep1er is really good even though they're rookies."

No, for me it's not "even though they're rookies."

Just "They're good."

I just want to hear, "Kep1er is good."

We can do it. We can do it because we're Kep1er.

Let us all

fighting!

We are Kep1er!
[With the ambition of rookies, Kep1er joins Queendom 2]

[2022 LOONA Concert, LOONAVERSE: FROM]

[The third Queen has remarkable energy!]

[LOONA]

We will greet you. Two, three.

Hello, we are LOONA.

We had to debut while being put through a survival process.

- Following the monthly evaluation,
- That's right.

we found out that we are the true WJSN.

It was like a survival program, and all that was missing were the cameras.

[However, they suddenly faced a red light]

After the articles started to pile up,

I looked at the comments and read, "They could've been really popular. I feel so bad for them."

I felt as if everyone was looking at us with pity in their eyes.

Those type of comments made it most difficult for me.

[The bad situations are relentless]

I think I was really scared

that LOONA wouldn't be able to continue.

I had a lot of worries like this.

I thought, what if this is the end?

I think it was the most difficult for me when I felt that

an outsider was setting our limits for us.

LOONA, LOONA, let's go!

[At that moment in the waiting room]

[A mysterious envelope delivered to the girls]

[A surprise encounter with LOONA was ready]

[LOONA is not yet aware of their participation in Queendome 2]

- What is all this?
- How many cameras are there?

Wow, so many cameras! They're making me shy.

To LOONA.

This envelope should be opened with all members present.

- Shall we open it?
- Come on, open it now!

- It's glued down.
- Okay, here I go!

One, two, three!
[Curious]

What?

- Really?
- For real?

- Wait a minute.
- What?

[No way, you're lying..!]

What is this!
[No way, you're lying..!]

Are you sure this isn't a hidden camera? Is it for real?

- So you're saying that we're going on Queendom 2?
- This is for real?

[LOONA Queendom 2 casting confirmed]

That's why there were so many cameras.
[Dear lord, so we really are...]

Wow, no wonder.
[Dear lord, so we really are...]

I was wondering why they put our mics on.

♫ Congratulations ♫
[Congrats LOONA casting]

This is an important opportunity that came at an important time.

I want to grab that opportunity and gain approval.

- We can do this.
- Of course.

Please let this go well.

LOONA, LOONA, let's go!

[Fourth Queen]
[Other girls who are also aiming for first place]

It's our first Queendom 2 recording!
[WJSN Queendom 2 casting confirmed!]

[1st place for Queendom 2 casting request, WJSN]

[Hope all is achieved on Queendom 2]

I listened to all our songs after hearing that we'll be participating in Queendom 2.

Me too.

- Daebak!
- I'm so happy.

I'm so happy. Really happy.

[WJSN songs are hidden gems in K-POP]

They say they're able to easily empathize with our songs.

Like an overwhelming feeling?

I think we're the only ones able to digest our songs.

We have pride in our songs.
[FULL confidence in their songs]

I think Queendom 2 is the stepping stone for

the start of the second act for WJSN.

I wish that if someone said 'WJSN'

K-POP fans from all over the world would nod their heads.

That kind of WJSN.

I want to prove that our thoughts

and our choices

and our pride until now has never been wrong.

Our plan has never failed to go according to plan.

♫ Rollin', rollin', rollin' ♫
[Clear voices of the fifth Queen, Brave Girls]

[A new record setting history of climbing back up the charts]

[Following their climb back up the charts]

We still hear that we've climbed back up the charts.

We just really want to secure our places now.

We've climbed back up the charts with Rollin'

but we won't just stop at Rollin'.

Oh, yes, give a round of applause.

Oh, what's this?

Oh, what's this?

[A mysterious box delivered to Brave Girls]

- A gift?
- Something came for us.

Is it a Valentine's Day gift?

Valentine's Day gift?

[Pitter patter, pitter patter]

Put it back in if it's something weird.

Oh? What's that?

It's a long letter!
[Letter..?]

- It's a letter.
- Let me see. Open it.

What?

To Brave Girls members.

Wait, what? It's from the CEO!

- Pretty handwriting!
- It's lovely.

- Unni, please read it for us.
- Daebak.

"My beloved children...

It's me.

It's a bit awkward writing this letter to you all.

I think that Queendom 2 will be a difficult process

but I believe that you will make that much more development.

I hope you get through this."

He made a typo here.

"Let's go from the reverse climbing Queen to a real Queen!

Stay strong. Fighting!

From your CEO who will always be

your reliable supporter for you all." With a heart!

Wait, but was this really written by our CEO?

His handwriting is neater than I expected.

It's so lovely.

- Daebak.
- Should we open it now?

- Open it, open it.
- This could be a gift from the CEO.

One, two, three!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Oh, it's not a gift.

Put it back in.
[We decline]

[Let's meet at the first encounter]

[Let's meet at the first encounter]

It's the day of the first encounter.

I couldn't sleep a wink.

I'm more cautious than nervous.

We're the surviving nine members.

But...

Then how old are you?

I'm 18 years old.

- Don't you need to go home?
- You're going to send her home?

This team is too easy.

Who do they think they are? They can't take us on.

She's coming! She's coming! She's coming!

I think someone tremendous is going to come out and sit with her legs crossed.

My nickname was Hyolin's parachute.

[Day of the first encounter]

Who is it? I'm so curious.

Who's that one person?

Well, if it's a solo artist, there are so many.

- I'm so curious, seriously.
- When is she coming?

When is she coming?

[A voice is heard outside the studio]

She's cheery. So cheery.

For one, she's cheery.
[The group feels the cheery energy]

We take a long to warm up to someone.

Oh, my gosh, what do we do?

[Since]

Oh, their debut year comes out first.

See? I told you.

- It's the same as our debut year!
- I told you!

It's the same as our debut year!

Hey, it's the same as ours!

Okay, Dayoung, uneven your stance.

I'm going to walk confidently, alright?

[WJSN, Debuted in 2016]

Seriously...

This is Queendom 2.

I've really arrived at Queendom 2.

Unni, please say something about how you're going to approach the first encounter.

The first enounter...

I'm going to tear it apart.

I'm going to tear it apart.

It's our first impression. So I don't want to appear easy.

Let's tear it apart!

And let's cut everything!

Hey, that's so scary.

Rip everything apart!

- Hello.
- Yes, hello.

[WJSN enters with a strong intent]

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, why is the set so uncomfortable?

When we went in, the Brave Girls sunbaenims were there.

I felt like they seemed very relaxed.

Isn't it too cold?

I'm going to rip everything apart.

One of the Brave Girls sunbaenim's earring

- was a luxury brand earring.
- That's right. I saw them too.

So, like...

I had to check myself out one more time.

But for sure, now that I've come in

I feel the competition stirring inside me.

I feel the competition stirring inside me.

Perhaps...

do you know who's coming out for the other teams?

Do you know who's coming out?

We really take a long time to warm up to people.

When we tried to talk to other teams,

we just couldn't speak.

I don't know.

I don't know.

You don't know at all?

[Conversation cut off]

Since...

- What is that?
- 2018.

That's when we sang "Save Me, Save You."

The memory of that time still remains for us.

Think about what we did in 2018.

We didn't do anything...

- We were struggling then.
- That's when we were in a very difficult period.

Oh, really?

Next group, please come in.

- So scary.
- I have no idea.

Oh, my gosh, they're coming in.

There are so many footsteps.

So many, so many, so many.

[LOONA, Debuted in 2018]

Hello!

- Daebak.
- Wow, there are so many.

There are really a lot of them.

Is everyone in?

Would you please come in further?

- Go down.
- We have to go down.

There are so many of them. There's no end.

We'll definitely show our best.

There are really a lot of them.

Come this way.

We'll introduce ourselves. One, two, three.

Hello, we are the LOONA.

Nice to meet you.

Actually, it's not as nice as expected.

We hoped there wouldn't be a team as similar to us entering today.

They are a large group like us.

And also that they have "Girls" in their name.

Gosh, we're totally facing each other.

- Our sunbaes...
- I know.

Who wants to start talking first?

How about you, Yeonjung?

Is the opening preparation going well?

Is the opening preparation going well?

Doing our best.

- Sounds like it's going well.
- Must be going well then.

- She looks cheery.
- You seem relaxed.

No, not at all.

Which song are you performing?

Which song are you performing?

Of course, they are not going to say.

You think they are going to tell us?

Which song?

Which song?

Let's tell them our song.

I really thought you were going to say it.

We don't have friends.

I feel alienated already.

It's our first time meeting.

Hello.

Thank you.

We danced hard in the prep room.

Thank you.

I don't know how to continue the conversation.

- I can't get used to it.
- I know.

We're in trouble.

- We're still the youngest.
- We are.

I need to loosen up my legs.

[Queendom 2] Hello ~

Oh, what is this?

- What's this?
- Scared me.

2022.

2022.

They were just born?

Just born?

They were just born?

- We're not the youngest anymore.
- You're right.

- Sorry.
- Oh, no.

What is it? Why? What? What?

What's happening?

I was really shaking.

Just thinking of all the sunbaes in the room...

made me very nervous.

Since we are new...

[The morning of the first encounter]

Wow, this is our waiting room!

Look at this!

There are even blankets!

- The timetable.
- I'll keep it as a memento.

The timetable.

- Oh, my gosh.
- I'm so excited.

I'm so excited! Excited!

Since it hasn't been long since we hade our debut,

I don't know if the sunbaenims will recognize us.

They are all much more senior than us.

Do you think they'll know us?

"Which group are you?"

Hello!

Who... which group are you?

When we enter,

we are afraid they'll say, "Who are they?"

- Ready.
- Okay.

Enter.

- Look straight ahead.
- I can't look.

They are here.

- Hello!
- Hello!

Hello!

[Kep1er, Debuted in 2022]

Hello!

We'll say hello. Two, three.

Catch your eye, catch your mind!

Hello, we are the Kep1er! Thank you in advance!

They totally sound like newcomers.

They're newcomers.

They're cheery, as expected.

- Hello!
- What do I do...

Oh, my gosh!

I was very excited knowing I'm in the same room as my dream sunbaes.

I was thinking, "Wow, this is truly the Queendom."

It feels like a dream just being here.

What if we're sleeping in our dorm when we open our eyes?

They debuted in 2022.

That was totally unexpected, right?

Do you think they'll know us?

I wonder if the sunbaes will recognize us.

I enjoyed WA DA DA.

I enjoyed WA DA DA.

Thank you!

Thank you!

No, have a seat.

Gosh, I'm so touched.

We didn't think you'd recognize us.

Of course, we know you.

I'm so good at this.

I'm so good at this.

WA DA DA, WA DA DA.

My goodness. I'm so happy.

We love you.

I wonder how old the youngest is.

Your youngest member...

How old are you?

How old are you?

I'm 18 years old.

She said she's 18.

She's 12 years younger than me and 13...

- 14 and 15...
- Be quiet.

Shut your mouth.

We'll lose our confidence if you start counting...

Okay, I'll keep mouth shut.

Wow, she's so young.

- I wish the group next to us would enter already.
- I feel lonely.

I'm hearing things.

It feels like there's something hovering over there, so I keep looking.

Something's there.

I think they're coming.

So that's how it appears.

2022?

Same debut year.

- Again?
- Like us?

In the same year?

Then it must not be there, but there.

Can it be her?

Three people?

The Brave Girls' seats are nice

- since they can see them first.
- I know.

[VIVIZ, Debuted in 2022]

Hello!

It's the VIVIZ.

They look like goddesses.

Hello.

Hello.

They are really pretty.

I feel starstruck.

Hello! We're VIVIZ.

We are the VIVIZ.

Nice to meet you!

- Their outfits are so...
- All dressed in white...

They were walking out looking so elegant.

It felt like they were shooting a film.

We are coming from filming a music show so that's why we are dressed this way.

Oh, so they came straight here dressed in their stage outfit.

- Very pretty!
- Very pretty!

[Same day, VIVIZ's stage outfits were... different?]

We wanted to intimidate the other contestants.

So we dressed up looking gorgeous on purpose.

Bling, bling.

But when we walk in, what if they say, "What? Why so dressed up?"

Then let's say we are just coming from filming a music show.

We are coming from filming a music show so that's why we are dressed this way.

I was so surprised because we were the only ones dressed up like an award show.

You guys, I want to hide.

No. Our outfits aren't too over the top.

Our dresses are just about right.

- They are all so pretty.
- Yeah, they are.

I'm so embarrassed.

What year did GFRIEND debut?

Before us, I think.

The VIVIZ are the GFRIEND, so...

So in that regard, they are our seniors.

But since they started in 2022, they're VIVIZ.

- They're not sunbaes.
- They're not sunbaes.

They're not sunbaes.

I know it hasn't been long since we became VIVIZ, but

if we include our careers as GFRIEND, we've been around for 8 years.

It's a survivor program, so we shouldn't look weak to them.

It's our experience, and the fact that we've been in the field is our weapon.

In any case, even though we are entering as VIVIZ,

our GFRIEND time and experience don't go away.

They're not sunbaes.

But...

Excuse me.

But...

Hey Yeoreum

Hey, Yeoreum!

Hey, Yeoreum!

Do you really think we're not your sunbae?

Do you really think we're not your sunbae?

Deliver what I said to your members.

I was so shocked.

I thought she was going to faint.

I apologize.

I was a bit peeved.

I'll have to scold them.

There's one last seat left.

I wonder who the last person is.

She's here!

She's here!

So scary.

As soon as I came in, all I can see is that seat.

There's only one seat.

We have a solo person.

The solo is so intimidating.

The biggest mystery.

It has to be someone who can still fill the stage even though she performs alone.

Whether there are 12 others or 30 people,

someone who can dominate all of them.

[Everyone is dying to find out the identity of the last queen]

Ten years? Ten years ago?

Everyone, stand up.

Ten years?

Stand up.

Attention.

Attention. Everyone, attendion.

My goodness. She started in 2010.

That's when I started as a trainee.

I was in first-grade in elementary school.

How old were you then, Yeseo?

- I think I was six.
- Six years old?

Should we polish her chair?

- Do it.
- Polish the chair.

Go polish it up.

Polish it.

Polish it.

Polish it for her.

Sounds unsettled. They sound unsettled.

[Hyolyn, Debuted in 2010]

Hello!

It's been a long time since I last saw everyone.

I'm Hyolyn.

What came to your mind when you were approached to appear on Queendom?

Do I have to compete again...

I entered so many competition shows before.

But I had fun. I do it because I enjoy it.

The preparation was very hard

but the desire to succeed or having a goal

provides more incentive to drive on.

That's why I find competition attractive.

Hello.

Unni! Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Whoa, this is so neat.

I just got chills.

- My goodness.
- Hello.

- See, a solo is not just a solo.
- Right.

It's someone with that much talent.

I'm nervous...

and in some ways, I feel the pressure

where you can be easily overwhelmed in a way.

I'm the only soloist amongst all the groups.

I do have the pressure of having to show that I can fill up this much even though I'm alone.

Now that everyone is gathered, it should start.

What?

What?

[Queen Master and Queen Manager to accompany the queens on their journey]

[K-POP artist, Taeyeon]

Female vocalist award.

The winner is...

- It's Taeyeon.
- Taeyeon, congratulations!

Congratulations!

[Now, Taeyeon will become a strong leader for Queendom 2]

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my.

I can't believe this moment.

- She's so pretty!
- She looks like a fairy.

Was there a group you looked up to as role models when you were little?

Girls' Generation!

Girls' Generation sunbaenims.

That's the group we wanted to be.

They're a role models for girl groups.

They remain as our number 1 in our hearts.

I started training to be an idol after watching Girls' Generation.

I think I was nine or 10 years old.

Back then, I was just a child who wanted to become an idol or a singer.

It was amazing to have someone I idolized in front me.

Our careers had overlapped each other when Unni was active.

She was so reliable.

She cheered us on even when we weren't doing well.

She knew all our songs.

I remember how much support we received from her.

I cried many times watching her perform while I was in training.

I kept going after my dream because of her.

As our mentor and sunbae, I think she will be a great example for us on Queendom.

The global comeback of K-POP's Girl Group, happening on the same day at the same time.

Breaking prejudice and going beyond the limits on stage.

The beautiful comeback competition.

Run the World. Queendom.

We are competing in the Queendom!

Hello, I am Taeyeon, your Queendom 2 Grandmaster MC.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Yong Jin, the Queendom Manager. Hello.

Someone like Lee Yong Jin sunbaenim,

I always watched him on YouTube and then...

Turkey Ice Cream!

I think he'll be very entertaining.

You are the only man in this show.

Yes, you are right.

To be honest, it's a bit unnerving.

- It's unnerving, huh?
- Yeah.

It's amazing.

We're back with a bigger, more spectacular, and more entertaining show.

Here are the six of K-POP's leading girl groups

are making a simultaneous global comeback.

Queendom 2's scale is even bigger now.

Not only allowing voting participation from the global fans

but also allowing global livestreaming is possible.

We'll see the birth of a new K-POP Queen as well.

It's sure to be a grand performance

and greatly anticipated by eveyone.

But everyone is curious about something as well.

Yes, and that's the contest rules.

The points will be gathered from Stages 1, 2, 3

and tallied in the final stage to come up with the final ranking.

The final stage score includes a cumulative score from video views,

a score from the simultaneous release of the soundtracks,

and live voting score from the final comeback performance.

The cumulative video score includes the sum of YouTube video shares

and the number of "Likes" times 100 in the duration of four days,

and on the official Mnet Queendom community forum,

Fans' Choice score will be added to it to determine the final ranking.

Actually, every contest is important.

Oh, no...

All the sunbaenims have strong soundtracks, huh?

We're the worst...

The winner of Queendom will receive a special benefit.

Aren't you curious?

Yes. It is...

it is...

a premium global comeback show live-streamed.

I got goosebumps!

The winner of Queendom is MAMAMOO!

The winning team is Stray Kids!

I really want to do it!

We've never done this.

I really want to do this.

Actually, it's not common for a girl group to do a comeback show.

Won't anyone want this?

This is something LOONA really wants to win.

If there is a hope for such a benefit for the winning team,

as for the team that comes in sixth place,

there'll be a heavy penalty waiting for you.

Oh, no...

Gosh, it's so scary.

It's cruel.

Out of three stages,

the team that comes sixth place twice in a row

will leave Queens' war of comebacks right away.

The team that drops out of Queendom

can no longer participate in Queendom, of course.

And they cannot perform their new song on the final live stage.

- Unni, I'm so scared.
- Me too.

I'm fine as long this doesn't happen to us.

I wouldn't want to come sixth. Not even once.

That will never happen.

It could be me or

it could be one of the five teams excluding me.

Oh, no...

Suddenly, I feel more nervous.

The vibe changed all of a sudden.

The Queendom is a battleground.

Let's all try to be honest.

Doesn't everyone have at least one rival on their mind?

Rival?

Even when I was in my girl group, there were many legendary groups.

It was a bit burdensome to point out a rival.

But that pressure worked as positive motivation for me.

Yes, that's right.

In a situation like this, we say we're selecting a rival.

[Rival: To have similar aptitude in strength, talent, and ability that it's difficult to decipher who is better]

You might think that there's a team that is worthy of competition

or there may be a team that you're keeping in check.

Out of five teams, pick a rivaling team that is worthy of your competition.

How do we do this?

- It's too much pressure.
- I know.

All of them here are my rivals.

I think all of them are formidable as my rivals.

This is war.

Queendom 2 begins now.

The time's up for picking your rival team.

We'll now announce the rivals that the six teams of

Queendom came up with.

[Rival]

This is tough.

What's this?

Are we drawing sticks?

They're going to stab us like this?

- Gosh, this is too hard.
- It's serious.

This is too cruel.

Which team's rival should we reveal first?

How about VIVIZ with smiles gone from their faces?

- What?
- I'm smiling.

I'm smiling big.

Just reveal at the same time.

How about we see Brave Girls first? How about it?

How about it?

Yes, fine. Yes.

Better to get it over with.

Who did Brave Girls select as their rival?

Gosh, so scary.

[Rival]

[Brave Girls' rival –> VIVIZ]

Brave Girls has selected the VIVIZ as their rival.

Eh?

Us? Why?

Us?

Did they pick us because we look easy to them?

It did upset me a little bit.

Is it because of a similar number of members?

The number of people is similar.

As well as their performances.

So this is how it feels like.

I think I wanted to avoid it.

What is the reason why the Brave Girls selected VIVIZ as a rival?

I'm curious to find out.

Actually, we made our debuts a year away from each other.

During the difficult time following the debut,

they were slowly but surely becoming more successful.

That was the time.

GFRIEND, congratulations!

At that time, the GFRIEND was very successful and popular.

I was very envious.

I wondered what it would be like to be in that place.

When we were on the stage,

they always came out last to garner all the ovation.

I'm curious.

Back then, I wanted to feel, at least once

I wanted to go up against them.

But meeting them like this is a pleasure

and curious about them also.

So on this Queendom,

we want to showcase our best effort

and win the contest.

Looking forward to a wonderful head-to-head contest.

At first, I was curious about the reason,

but after listening to their reasoning, I'm more pleased.

This time, let's find out who the VIVIZ has picked out as their rival.

It'll be daebak if they picked each other at the same time.

It'll be daebak if they picked each other at the same time. Really.

No way.

Brave Girls have a similar number of members.

They have similar number of years of experience.

Okay, VIVIZ's rival...

Please reveal it to us.

I hoped they'd think of us.

Really?

Really?

Please show us.

VIVIZ has selected Hyolyn as their rival.

- Hyolyn just let out dry coughs.
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

My intention wasn't that.

You picked Hyolyn as your rival.

What's going on? What happened?

In the Queendom, there's a mission of switching songs with each other.

One of her songs is a song that we want to perform.

I see. Right.

We dared to pick her as our rival.

As for me...

I feel like my hard work was worth it, hearing that she's interested in performing one of my songs.

Their reason made me feel good.

Yay!

- It's good to be selected then?
- Sure, it's good to be selected.

- It's like you're worth the competition.
- I guess so.

But if you are not selected,

you could think that people think, "They're not that great."

We should be offended if we're not selected.

That's not good.

If you're selected, it means they're keeping you in check.

And now which team is Hyolyn's rival?

Let's reveal it.

Is there a rival for her?

I know.

- I'm curious.
- Who could it be?

No matter what, since I'm a sunbae,

I think they're all worthy of my competition.

All right, please reveal Hyolyn's rival.

I wanted to be selected by Hyolyn.

The sunbae is so perfect in every way.

Daebak.

Thank you!

Thank you!

"Thank you."

What are you thankful for?

Thank you so much...

That's a refreshing reaction.

That's unexpected.

I'm curious why.

My reason is that

when they do their shoutout or when they're on stage,

they're overflowing with their enthusiasm and passion.

And they're working so hard.

Oh, my gosh!

Honestly, after I went solo,

I'm trying to perform with that type of enthusiasm and passion.

I think Kep1er and I share that type of feelings

and suit us well. That's why I picked them.

I'm so honored.

Daebak.

Whoa, I'm happy...

but also thinking whether it's rightful to feel this way.

It was an honor.

The mood was shifting

like not being selected was not a good thing.

Then now, Kep1er's rival selection.

Please show us.

[Kep1er's rival –> LOONA]

Thank you!

They're picked as the rival and they keep saying thank you.

LOONA members seem so happy...

I'm so happy to have the stick point at us.

LOONA has expressed confidence in their performance

and we also felt confident in our performance. So we chose them.

From our mutual motivation, we hope we can each elevate our performance levels.

Thank you!

Wow, it really feels nice.

This time, let's find out LOONA'S rival selection.

I think they picked Kep1er.

I think they picked each other.

It's like the show, "Stick of Love."

No, LOONA's rival.

Please show us.

We made out selection.

We made out selection.

[LOONA]

[WJSN]

The rival LOONA selected is

WJSN!

It's us...

What is this reaction meant to be?

When the other team makes a selection,

we don't know what made them choose them and how to take that decision.

It's hard for us to decide whether we should be happy about it or not.

If they consider us as lower...

- or higher...
- Right, right.

Or simliar, right?

Then what's the reason LOONA picked WJSN as their rival?

They might have some unpleasant reasons for their choice

so we should not be happy about it prematurely.

Actually, during the interview,

we chose WJSN as the team we wanted to avoid the most.

WJSN?

- We wanted to avoid them the most.
- I know.

I thought we'd overlap with WJSN a little bit.

Queendom is about competing.

So we thought we would rather compete well rather than avoid.

That's why we chose WJSN.

After hearing your reason, I'm happy now.

- After hearing your reason, I'm happy now.
- I feel much better now.

What a relief!

It's so neat!

Everyone's reasons are so different.

[Brave Girls are the only ones who haven't been chosen]

Brave Girls have not been selected as rival yet.

Do you think you are going to get selected by the rest? Or...

- I don't think so.
- You don't think so?

We should keep a straight face.

We should keep a straight face.

Then we'll now reveal the last rival.

What should we do? I can't see.

Now, show us WJSN's rival!

- Could we hope for it?
- Yes!

They may pick us for the same reason.

Will Brave Girls be picked as their rival?

Whether it's good or bad, I want to receive at least one vote.

[WJSN's rival –> Hyolyn]

WJSN picked Hyolyn as their rival.

Both VIVIZ and WJSN selected Hyolyn as their rival.

- What can be the reason?
- I'm curious.

When we were trainees,

we've been going after our dream watching Hyolyn.

Being able to compete on the same stage

is very meaningful to us.

And when I was a trainee,

I was on "Unpretty Rapstar" with Hyolyn.

Right.

At that time, my nickname was "Hyolyn's freeloader."

"Hyolyn's parachute."

That's so mean.

That's harsh.

Who said that?

I'm EXY from the same agency as Hyolyn's.

I was so worried if they thought of me as

"Buy One, Get One Free."

At that time, I got so much help from Hyolyn.

I improved a lot as I watched her.

So this is very meaningful to us.

Now, it's been six years since we debuted as a girl group.

We'd like to show her that we've grown this much and

we became great singers who can perform well watching you.

I got goosebumps.

It's touching.

I'm so moved. I'm tearing up.

Actually, it's an honor to be somebody's role model.

I feel overwhelmed to hear such a great story.

I want to scold that person who called you a "parachute."

This is touching.

That's so cool.

Why don't you two hug each other?

Can I take a photo?

Let's do it! Why not?

Let's do it! Why not?

[Two people who have been friends for a long time]

[Now, I'm a proud girl group member going on six years]

I feel like crying.

Her perfume smelled the same.

When I smelled it after a long time,

I felt like she's the same just like that scent.

She's still cool and reliable.

I can't put it into words.

So I almost burst into tears.

She's just...

a part of my dream.

It was an indescribable feeling.

Competing with that kind of person is

very meaningful to me.

She said "We've grown this much watching you."

"Oh, they've been working so hard."

I hope I can say that as I watch them perform.

I'm so jealous when I see something like that.

Having an unni like that.

It's so touching.

I know.

I feel like I'm going to cry.

So we've revealed all of the six teams' rivals.

"Sunbae" Hyolyn got two votes.

"Comeback Queen" Brave Girls...

didn't get any votes for now.

Didn't you expect at least one vote?

Yes, I wanted at least one vote.

Honestly, I got pissed.

We actually didn't show anything.

So I was determined to do better.

To be honest with you.

We will put more effort.

- We'll work hard.
- Yes.

It made me think we'll have to work hard.

Nobody knows what this vote means.

Not being selected is neither good nor bad.

So don't think too much about it.

I look forward to your beautiful competition going forward.

We will now really get into the competition, "Run the World, Queendom 2" now.

The theme of the first round of competition is...

[1st Round - Signature Song Battle]

Signature Song Battle.

[Queendom 2]

Let go.

[1st Round - Signature Song Battle]

I knew it.

The first round of the competition should be signature songs.

We have only one signature song.

Only one. "WA DA DA"

The maximum score you can get

from the first round is

a total of 10,000 points!

It's so high!

It's 10,000, not 100!

The 10,000 points are from

your self-evaluation, the global audience votes,

and the live audience votes.

This determines your first competition ranking.

This round is really important. We can't be in the last place.

This is disadvantageous to us

since we're a rookie.

Now we should make a critical decision before the competition.

Right, it's the competition order.

Oh, my God.

- The order...
- Oh, no...

Now, Queen Manager Yong Jin will reveal the cue sheet for each team.

Did we all choose the same number?

I'm going crazy.

The order that Kep1er picked for the first round is...

going third!

We thought we can show our best power and our condition.

The order that Brave Girls picked for the first round is going fourth!

In Queendom 1,

the team who performed fourth in the first round

won first place.

Do you believe in superstition?

- Yes, almost all of us.
- Right.

VIVIZ hopes to go...

first.

For real?

In the first round,

we hope to go first

and win first place!

WJSN wants to go...

sixth!

The highlight of the performance is the ending.

Sixth!

I can't laugh.

They must have picked sixth too.

Who wants sixth?

The star always appears at the end.

[LOONA selected the ending stage, sixth]

It's LOONA.

I knew this.

WJSN chose the same one for real!

And...

Hyolyn!

Hyolyn!

This isn't for sure, right?

Then I'll just go...

Now, the team leaders will negotiate

and determine who goes sixth.

We will leave that process up to you.

Fighting!

Just stick it first!

[What's LOONA's choice?]

[LOONA switches from 6th to 5th]
What is this?

What should we do?

Should we stand our ground? I'll let her know.

- I think we should stick it out.
- Me too.

As long as it's not second.

Sorry!

What's happening?

What?

Don't! Don't do that!

Just stick it on the sixth. If Hyolyn sticks on sixth too,

then move LOONA to second and stick ours on fifth.

Okay! Okay!

What should we do?

Now, WJSN's turn!

I think it'll overlap.

Please!

That's a relief!

WJSN sticks to sixth.

WJSN!

[Hyolyn moves straight away.]

I think Hyorin will switch ours.

[Amidst tension]

[What's Hyolyn's choice?]

[What's Hyolyn's choice that's shocking everyone?]

Look.

[Hyolyn picked second with no hesitation.]

[This is totally unexpected.]

I can do my best whenever I go.

I'm fine with any order.

The fierce fight over number six ends

and WJSN got it.

Let's do our best!

- Is fifth okay?
- Of course!

Actually, we can show great performance

in any order.

We will show our Kep1er's energy and newbie's power.

"Oh, these unnis are a little annoying."

I want them to think of us this way.

We'll work hard to prepare our performance.

I'll take first place.

Then we'll see you on the day of first round.

Run the World.

Queendom!

I didn't expect this to happen.

- We have less than one week.
- Less than one week.

Can you go on the stage? Today's practice?

Can you practice today?

It's over for us already.

We have to use all the cowardly methods.

We're one of Mnet's many daugthers, Kep1er!

Mnet!

There's even that saying, "Parachute."

Right!

We can't just do well.

We must do much better than others.

I'm wondering what other teams are going to do.

I think I know what Brave Girls is going to do.

I have a different opinion from the CEO.

I'm not the only one with regrets, right?

I'm disappointed.

I want them to do worse than us.

Hyolyn has...

so many hit songs.

The song I have chosen after much thought is...

I'm so annoyed.

I'm nervous.

The song I prepared is a high-pitched song.

The three of us are GFRIEND.

We should touch their emotions.

If we lose first round, I'd feel ashamed.

Run the World, Queendom!

[Fiery and brilliant comeback war]

[Queendom 2 will begin now]

[First round stage for Queendom 2 is revealed]

[The day of the first round]

[This program was filmed in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines]

[Which team is the first to arrive?]

Finally, today is the day.

I can't believe it.

Thanks.

Hello!

We are Kep1er!

[Another team is on the way.]

Let's go slow. I'm going to eat.

I should eat something sweet.

[Brave Girls]

Minyoung will sing well.

Since she's eating a lot.

It's good.

Aren't you guys worried?

I think we can perform like any other performances.

But I feel the pressure because it's called "competition."

I'm scared.

We have our precious songs.

- We can do it!
- Fighting!

[Another car is on the way.]

Hey, did you guys sleep well last night?

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't that nervous.

- I'm not that nervous, either!
- Me too!

I feel like we are fully ready.

We are "BEST-VIZ."

Of course, I'm the best of BEST-VIZ.

It's such a great day for the competition.

I couldn't sleep at all last night.

[Who are you?]

[Hyorin appears with unusual props]

This is really heavy.

My arms are about to fall off.

I'm not nervous now.

But we will get nervous once the rehearsal begins.

We'll crush it today.

Here's the order for the first round.

Oh, but there are only five teams.

- Oh, but there are only five teams.
- What?

One team is missing.

How come there are only five teams?

Who is missing? Look for it.

LOONA.

[What happened to LOONA?]

While we were preparing for the first round,

we were all diagnosed with Covid-19.

It's a shame...

but we had to disqualify.

Unfortunately, we couldn't compete in the first round.

- What do we do? It's the first round.
- I know.

It doesn't feel like it's someone else's business.

I was looking forward to LOONA's performance.

But they're out.

Aigoo. I'll just write here.

I hope they don't get worse.

It will be really tough if they get worse.

- Fighting today!
- Fighting!

Everyone, today is the first round.

- Finally!
- It still doesn't feel real to me!

- I'm actually excited!
- I'm excited too!

Is this normal?

Are you guys addicted to survival competition?

It's the rookie's passion.

We are so confident if nine of us are all together!

- We are so cool! Really.
- We can win first place!

Oh, no! It feels real to me now.

I'm curious about how other teams are doing.

I'm so curious about other teams.

- Wait, I hear music. Be quiet.
- Be quiet.

[The first round rehearsal begins]

- Fighting!
- Fighting!

- We are cool!
- Fighting!

I'm so nervous!

I just don't want to make any mistakes.

Since our goal is to make VIVIZ known,

we must win first place. I'm confident.

I think WJSN deserves to get the crown.

We will definitely win first place!

This is Queendom, and there can only be one queen.

I should be the winner.

I'll do my best.

[One hour before the first round]

We missed you, WJSN!

We missed you, Kep1er!

Hyolyn will save the country!

Be the winner, VIVIZ!

Fighting, VIVIZ!

Let's win, Brave Girls!

Oh, my God!

It's been so long since we saw an audience.

It's our first time performing in front of so many people.

- I'm really nervous!
- Daebak!

[Queendom 2]

[Queendom 2]

[Finally, Queendom 2 begins!]

Now it begins, everybody!

This is a real survival!

[Queendom 2]

K-POP girl groups...

who dream to go global in their comeback battle.

Queendom 2.

Hello, I'm Queen Manager Lee Yong Jin.

Manager!

He's so cool.

Our beautiful battle, beyond prejudice and limits.

I introduce you to our

Queendom's Grand Master who will be with us for that great beginning.

It's Taeyeon!

I'm seeing her for the first time today.

Please come out!

She's so pretty!

This is like a music award.

She looks like a fairy!

Hello.

Run the World. I'm a host for Queendom 2

Grand Master Taeyeon.

My heart hurts.

She's so cool.

Queendom 2, with the sub-title "Run the World,"

we're going straight for the global fans.

From the announcement of the lineup to the preview,

it became a hot topic for the global K-POP fans.

I heard the gift with their hearts has just arrived.

- A gift?
- A gift?

Let's hear it.

What? What? What?

What's that?

The sound of their cheers.

That's so cute!

Wow, that's crazy.

It sounds so real.

I got nervous about seeing our fans in person.

It's been so long since we performed in front of so many people.

It's the cheer and shouts from so many of the fans.

Fans, thank you so much for showing us your passion.

Thank you so much!

This makes me more nervous.

- Daebak
- I'm getting so nervous.

Now, we will reveal

the first round of Queendom's

evaluation criteria that everyone is dying to find out.

A total of 10,000 points can be obtained through the first round.

6,000 points from the live judges.

3,000 points from the global judges.

And adding 1,000 points from contestants themselves.

This is how the ranking for the first found is determined.

After you watch all the five teams' performances,

you can select the best two teams.

But duplicate voting is not allowed.

I think the live judge votes are really important.

It's true.

It's worth more than half.

We have special judges in the studio today.

They will take on the future of K-POP.

Super Rookie Idols!

- Nice to meet you all!
- Hello.

[DRIPPIN]

[Purple Kiss]

That's quite a lot of them!

Oh, my.

We look forward to your sharp and objective criticism!

Since lots of hoobaes came here today,

we feel like we should do much better.

I think I want to be their proud sunbae.

I've got motivated.

Now let's begin our long-awaited

1st competition!

Run The World Queendom

It's been started!

I'm so nervous.

I'm scared all of a sudden.

My mind goes blank.

The 1st team must be so nervous now.

I'm not nervous.

Run The World Queendom 2

The theme for the 1st competition was Signature Song.

[1st Round Signature Song Battle]

I feel so anxious. I feel shortness of breath.

Let's stop being nervous.

What should we do?

I feel like I want to crush everything here.

Each team has recreated their signature song

only for the Queendom 2 stage.

Queendom 2

the first team for the stage is

Fighting! Fighting!

We'll do our best!

We'll do our best!

From the former GFRIEND

to the experienced newbie

the group who has a variety of characteristics

Let's meet them right away.

Run the World VIVIZ

Nice to meet you. Please say hi to the audience.

Hello! We are VIVIZ!

The shoutout cheering is only for VIVIZ.

That's so cute!

We love it!

They are so relaxed.

What should they do?

They must be so nervous now!

I think they are fine.

Right, they are so experienced.

The example of precise choreography!

From the former GFRIEND to the newbie VIVIZ!

The performance master VIVIZ!

You selected to perform 1st

for the 1st competition.

Is it from your confidence?

Or is it part of your strategy?

It's all about the number 1!

1st competition, 1st performance, the number 1 song,

It will be meaningful for us to be 1st place with all these.

That's why we chose to perform 1st.

One more!

We''ll make your tears run down in a straight line like 1.

Tear?

The stage must be touching.

I think it's overlapping our concepts.

You must have lots on your mind when it comes to song selection.

GFRIEND song? Or VIVIZ song?

I wonder how you made your decision.

Right. We had a lots on our mind.

Signature Song

-means Hit Song.
-Right.

Our Signature Song is "BOP BOP."

"BOP BOP"

We only have "BOP BOP."

But as we always say,

we are VIVIZ as well as GFRIEND.

We are GFRIEND as well as VIVIZ.

We don't have to exclude GFRIEND songs.

Right.

And we should take advantage of being as a GFRIEND.

People still don't know about VIVIZ.

They don't know that VIVIZ is composed of Galaxy, Sin B and Um Ji from GFRIEND.

I saw a shocking comment a few days ago.

What? What? What?

The long-hair member in VIVIZ looks like Um Ji in GFRIEND.

I miss other GFRIEND members.

These days Sowon unni is

fangirling over GFRIEND.

Right. Right.

She's watching our GFRIEND concert videos all day.

Should we call her?

Go ahead!

-What if she doesn't answer?
-Hello!

Hello!

Unni!!!

Hi!

Unni, did you see the article that says we're on Queendom 2?

Yes, you are on Queendom 2!

We are talking about a song for the competition.

We've decided to go with GFRIEND song.

-What song are you going to do?
-We need your opinion.

The song on my mind is "Rough"

or "Time for the Moon Night."

[10 minutes ago]
-Should we go for "Rough"?

Or "Time for the Moon Night"?

I like "Time for the Moon Night."

We selected the order to perform.

When do you think we are going to perform?

I think you go first or last?

How do you know so well about us?

I'm not actually worried about your competition.

In terms of your competence, I'm not worried at all.

The only thing I'm worried about is

Sin Bi's frowning.

[Sin Bi's frowning can be misunderstood.]

[But it doesn't mean she's angry.]

I saw you frowned often.

-Her frowning means she's focusing.
-That's right!

Anyways, I'm sure you'll do it well!

I got your back, VIVIZ!

Be careful, everybody!

She's our best unni!

I felt very supported by her words.

One, two, three! Hello! We're GFRIEND!

We went through hard times together.

But we always felt thankful on the stages.

Congratulations, GFRIEND!

We were together to achieve a lot.

For almost 8 years,

we went through lots of good and bad times.

We went through all together.

In retrospect, I feel moved

and overwhelmed.

They are my friends for life

and my family for life.

We debuted with the song "Glass Bead"

and we promised we won't break up.

[May, 2021 GFRIEND's Last Stage]
-We are

GFRIEND.

Thank you!

It was unexpected.

GFRIEND...Sorry, VIVIZ!

I sometimes say GFRIEND

but I'm getting used not to doing it.

- Shall we take a look then?
- Okay!

- It looks really cool.
- It does.

- My gosh.
- Goodness.

We're going to win everybody.

It really feels like a Queendom performance.

Actually, looking at this video...

- I think the verse part looks good.
- It does.

[Her reaction is drastically different than other members]

But we've always had choreography that was very literal to the lyrics.

So I think we need a move that will express the lyrics.

There are areas in between where we're not dancing.

Rather than putting our hands below,

I think we should raise it higher.

In Rough, we had the clock dance move.

I saw what the choreography team came up for us.

But it didn't reflect our team's characteristics.

I think that's why voiced a lot of opinions about modifying it.

We really want to do a good job.

[VIVIZ starts practicing their choreography]

- We have too many pointing moves.
- We do, right?

- It's in the chorus too.
- Yes, it comes out again.

Do I do this move?

I feel like I'm moving...

when I'm not done singing my part.

[The preparation for the competition overlapped with their schedule for BOP BOP!]

[They practice over and over again even during their busy schedule.]

We're worried that this might ruin the image that we gained...

as a well-performing group during our time as GFRIEND.

I have the desire to do well on the other members' behalf.

I won't say,

"I'm going to do well" but "I must do well."

We can do it.

We got this.

I'm sure there are fans who are worried that it's just the three of us.

But we'll try harder than ever before...

to not tarnish the name of GFRIEND.

I want to show that we can do a great job with only the three of us.

- Hold on! They have so many dancers.
- My gosh.

- They're finally performing.
- Gosh.

- Our rival.
- Our crush.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

I'm excited. I think they're going to be cool.

[Time For The Moon Night + Rough by VIVIZ]

It's a clock.

Oh, I think they're going to perform Rough.

It's Time For The Moon Night.

I just got chills.

She's so pretty.

I really want to do good, now that I'm seeing this.

- This is taking me down memory lane.
- It really is.

- The video is pretty too.
- My gosh.

Oh, are they recreating fireflies?

- My gosh, it's Rough!
- They're performing Rough!

I really liked this song.

- I think the audience might cry.
- I know, right?

She's so pretty.

- Is it their debut date?
- It's not.

They debuted January 1.

Then on February 9...

I think I'm going to cry. That's when they re-debuted as VIVIZ.

It was so touching.

The performance was a touching one.

Really.

I was such a huge fan of GFRIEND.

During the time I was in middle school and then high school,

I listened to GFRIEND's Rough so much...

and cried a lot because of it too.

I think that emotion has lingered to this day.

It felt like they were showing how time passed as they progressed from GFRIEND to VIVIZ.

It felt like they were showing...

a panorama of the good and bad times, and many other moments that passed.

Then it ended at this current moment.

It can't be explained.

It's something that's hard to put into words.

They probably had a lot on their minds.

- Even when we experienced changes with members...
- Right.

we always had to fill in the empty spots.

- We know how hard that is.
- Yes.

- I'm sure they had more to practice.
- Yes.

You're right.

- I think all three of them got very emotional.
- I think so.

I couldn't watch.

You got emotional, right?

- Gosh.
- I think I can empathize.

SinB said she wasn't nervous.

But the things she said and the way she acted...

reminded me of myself.

She's a competitor, but as her friend...

I felt very proud of her once she was done.

I think my knees are weak.

Gosh, it's done!

- Great job, everyone.
- Good job!

Why are you crying?

I looked over to the audience after the performance was over.

They were crying as they looked at us.

Seeing that made me emotional.

But I didn't want to cry in front of my fans, so I held it in.

But once I came down the stage, I burst into tears.

I've thought many times about...

whether or not I'll be able to...

perform GFRIEND's songs on stage ever again.

The fact that we performed those songs as VIVIZ...

means a whole lot to us.

So it feels like we've accomplished everything already.

I had worries about whether we can fill in gaps for the other members.

But I think we performed and expressed it well as VIVIZ.

We'll meet the stars of Queendom 2's second stage.

There are words that come to mind when you think of this person.

"Charismatic on stage."

"All-rounded artist."

Guess who?

Do you have any idea?

It's Hyloyn this time!

No way!

- What song is she going to sing?
- Seriously?

What is she going to perform?

I'm so curious.

All right, Hyolyn. Please head to the stage.

I think it's been a while since I prepared for a big stage like this.

I'm performing by myself,

so I had many thoughts about what to do.

But this is a very important performance for me.

I feel very passionate about this performance.

I thought, "Let's prepare a performance where I'll do my best and I'll have no regrets."

[What stage will solo artist, Hyolyn perform?]

[D-8 to first contest]

[Hyolyn's Studio]

I'm at my studio...

and I'm going to choose the main song I'll be performing.

The main song... the main song.

Well...

Sistar songs come into my head.

Also, the songs that I released as a solo artist...

come into my head too.

What should I pick?

I like Lonely.

But it's too sad.

This one is good too.

I can't believe we sang claiming to know about love at this age.

Let's go!

There's definitely a unique charm to a group.

My songs have a very different feeling.

A lot of people liked Dally too though.

The music video for Dally is rated R. Is it okay to show this?

[The song made headlines because of its groovy beats and sexy performance.]

In my opinion, if I go with Sistar's song...

it would be Alone or Touch My Body.

In the case of my solo songs,

I would choose one that everyone will know.

So that's my thought for now.

I have to hurry up and choose a song for me to arrange it,

and that way I can get choreography for it.

Only then can I practice and come up with a concept.

That's the only way I can perform.

[Hyolyn has a lot on her mind as she prepared for the performance alone.]

It was really hard at first.

I was a novice and lacked in many ways.

I thought, "Gosh, I really just piggybacked along all this time."

"I viewed the entertainment world too easily."

[Hyolyn took her first step as a soloist in her 8th year of debut.]

[I still lack in many ways, but I've decided to start a solo career.]

[Hyolyn's fans believed in her courageous decision and rooted for her.]

[Hyolyn wants to repay her fans with music that represents herself.]

I regretted to saying yes.

I didn't know what I was thinking. I started without knowing a thing.

But I'm very used to it now.

I really am.

After some debating I chose a song...

that people would be excited for, since I didn't perform in a while.

I figured they'd be much more happy and excited to see me perform to a Sistar song.

Did you pick a song then?

When people think of Sistar, they think of something exciting and happy.

- That's right. Something bold.
- Yes, exactly.

I thought choosing a song with that feeling would be best.

- So after debating,
- Yes?

I decided that Touch My Body would be the best.

- That's a good one.
- Yes.

For this round where I'll be performing that song,

I don't want it to be a performance only I'm satisfied with.

But I want the audience to be satisfied with it too.

Let me describe the overall, broad concept.

I'm in paradise and I like festivals and parties.

- You're a queen?
- Not really.

What's the best word? I'm the party's host.

Gosh, I didn't know a place like this existed.

This is fake?

This is pretty too.

I want to create a paradise from one's imagination.

I would like to have greenery.

Then maybe we can show images of waterfalls using LED lights.

Also, adding a few colorful flowers would be good.

I have a lot to think about.

It's not enough with just myself.

After choosing my song,

I thought it would be good to go with a tropical theme.

So I went to a flower market and made each sample by myself.

Sample shopping is done for the day.

How do I turn this off?

How do I do it? Is it this button?

Goodness, you brought a huge bouquet of flowers.

I have nothing else to offer but this.

- Thank you.
- It's a little heavy.

Let's have a meeting in the meantime.

- What do you think of the concept?
- It's perfect for you.

Perfect?

Well, there's LED lighting,

there's a bridge for when they walk out

and they have stairs on either side.

I was thinking for them to be able to use the entire stage.

I wanted the stage to not be lacking

in regards to aesthetics

thinking as if I was a part of the audience.

I think we should fill that up.

We need a demonstration from the original artist.

That's so embarrassing, what do you mean I need to demonstrate?

As much as a lot of people know this song,

I wanted the stage to reflect the picture in my head in every detail.

I couldn't hope for a better performance than this.

I will show you the paradise on earth

that I pictured in my head to the best of my ability

during the first performance.

Let's meet the star of Queendom 2's second stage.

The leader of the legendary summer Queen SISTAR

returns as the hot and spicy solo Queen,

Hyolyn!

Let's meet her right now.

Run the World. Hyolyn!

- I want to watch from there too.
- Me too!

Me too.

I can't imagine how well she's going to sing!

Let's get some positive stimulation from watching her stage...

That stimulation might pack a punch, will you be okay?

Please be gentle.

Unni, please be gentle.

Unni, fighting!

We're on standby.

[She looks nervous for some reason...]

- I'm sorry.
- Yes, sorry.

[What]
[Is going on?]

Are you okay?

[Hyolyn stops her preparation and descends from the stage]

Wait, wait, wait.
[A sudden situation arises]

Check that out.

[Will Hyolyn safely finish her performance?]

Cool already!

What is that?

Isn't that a waterfall?

Wow, she created summer.

[Touch My Body - Hyolyn]

Wow, look at how relaxed she is.

Wow, that's crazy, oh, my gosh.

Welcome to paradise.

[Second jaw drop]

[Standing ovation]

Welcome to paradise.

Daebak.

Unni..

Enjoy it!

Her performance gives me the chills.

This has to be cheating!

- She's the true summer queen.
- Come on now.

Wow, unni's so cool!

Oh, my gosh, wow.

Wow, it's totally a festival.

Hyolyn sunbaenim should have gone last!

Please be gentle!

[Respect]

[She tore the stage apart!]

Everyone saw that, right?

You see how we need to proceed for the second performance now right?

Right?

Okay, okay.

I want to go home.

I just lost all heart.

She's so cool though. I hold real respect for her.

Kep1er must feel so pressured since they're next.

Yeah, I mean we feel pressured right now too.

Don't be pressured!

Just be honored that we can even compete with her!

That's right.

You know how she said, "Welcome to paradise" in the introduction

and then she started.

Welcome to paradise.

That was the start of a festival for me.

It was so exhilarating listening to her live

and I wondered how she could fill that huge stage on her own.

Are your shoes okay? Were they okay?

They kept bothering me.

The lift is supposed to rise after I completely get on it

and I was crouching to prepare for the start

but my heel suddenly ripped wide open.

So I looked at it

and the heel was completely separated.

I have a lot of moves with big gestures,

so if I were to dance with the heel separated, I thought for sure that

I would probably be unable to recover from suffering such a big injury.

Because this stage is just once in a lifetime.

I was worried and feeling dejected.
[Hyolyn went on stage after taking temporary measures]

Gratefully, I guess you can say

many people could read my mind and understand

with what feelings and intent I went on that stage with.

So...

I was so thankful.

Don't you think we're more relaxed now too?

We should enjoy it too.

We're unni's younger sisters.

That's right.

I'm somewhat proud.

I'm tearing up. I just respect her so much.

[WJSN's first performance finishes...]

This was a variable that no one saw coming.

What do we do..?

Why won't the heavens help us?

What did we do wrong?

I was so annoyed, sad, and frustrated.

I just resented everything.

I didn't want to cause harm,

but I feel like I did.

I just felt so sorry.
[Will WJSN be able to overcome their crisis?]

We're going to take a break for about 10 minutes.

I expected as much, but I'm not too happy.

I don't feel too happy.

Brave Girls sunbaenims are so...
I don't think I can hold it in.

Do you want to go greet them with me?

Let's go!

- Hello.
- Hi.

How old are you?

Yeseo is 18 and Youngeun is 19 years old.

Whenever my father gets in his car,

he always turns on your songs.

Thank you. We look forward to our time together.

[The courageous hoobaenims who took the first step to approach them]

Her father likes our songs.

That's the best.

I like Kep1er.

Me too.

I'm so happy.
