As one of the fans, I am not enjoying Queendom

Quote from NightAngel

Queendom performances.... Why oh Why did they change the rules? So a new rule was introduced: if a group ranked last 2 times, that group cannot participate in the final. Gosh I hate it ! Because now from a friendly competition show it change to a survival show where they are truly fighting for that place in the final. I want to enjoy other performances, but now I'm scared that they're doing better than my favs. This is why I hate competitions shows, I also never watched a whole season of the produce series because it hurts to see someone fail. Especially when it comes to achieving ones dream.

Just to address this point, they didn't change the rules. The same rule was in place in the first season of Queendom. They just seem to be treating Queendom and Kingdom as two separate entities with two separate rule sets.

You can also rest easy as a Na.V. There are only three preliminary rounds before the finals (unless they throw a major curveball at us), so Viviz has no chance to place last two times.

And the Queendom rule was that you had to place last two times in a row. They haven't fully clarified if that's still true for Queendom 2. But that still puts only Loona and Brave Girls in danger at this point.

Honestly, I agree with almost everything. Queendom is nothing more than a cash grab for Mnet. The idea of making it a competition is so dumb. These girls have all debuted already, they are idols. How is a special stage going to help in any way??

The Kep1er performance was painful both Dayeon and Yujin cried. It’s annoying because it’s clear they don’t have the same experience and now they feel exposed, they’ve been dragged left and right before even queendom because people thought they will mnet’s favorite look at them now. 2 survivals shows in a year is physically and emotionally drowning.

it may be harsh but I hope they get eliminated they should focus on their next cb and possibly Japanese debut.

Actually the show hosts mentioned this rule so it still applies. But I wouldn't stress too much about it; I don't think anyone, neither Mnet nor the audience, wants to see a group get the boot. So I feel that the losers of the previous round might receive enough pity votes to not finish last place twice in a row.

I know they mentioned the rule, but I didn't catch if it was two times IN A ROW this time or just two times IN GENERAL.

Also they're doing Brave Girls so dirty

Rollin

Rollin again

ROLLIN AGAIN

WHAT IS THIS BS??!!! None of the other groups have repeated the same song three times. It's like Mnet is trying to tell us Brave Girls was only about Rollin and that's it.

I think it's in a row, so Loona are safe as that happened in the first episode.

I haven't watched Queendom yet, I dislike Mnet and their amoral messing around with their survival shows.

But I might take a look at some of the Queendom performances. Are they any good?

would be nice if gfriend and hyolyn replaced lovelyz and bom in season 1

Mamamoo gfriend hyolyn AOA g-idle OMG

That would have been very exciting.

Season 1 is still way better. The influences on how should performances go from "Road to Kingdom" and "Kingdom" are very obvious. Too much props and performances "all over the place."

But still, I am enjoying it. As being a K-Pop fan and a multi-fan since the second generation, we barely have shows featuring multiple idols now (performances are a plus) so I'll take it; as long as I'm enjoying it of course.

I can't wait for the unit performances.

Gosh you're being a snowflake right now

The suitable name for such shows is "Fandom".

Simply the group with most fan engagement is going to win. Not much different from Music Show voting.

Or rather since they allow 2 votes, the act which is least seen as competitive threat to the faves of the concerned fandoms will win.

Which in this case is Hyolyn - senior to all of them, not a group etc.

And of course Brave Girls, who have the least fan base are getting beaten up

Actual quality of performance matters little.

It is a reality show, not a true competition, but it is disguised as a competition.

Mnet as usual will add the necessary drama to suck viewers.

So don't bother much about it.

K-pop is a popularity business, talent is secondary. Competition is between who builds the largest and most committed fandom.
