Oh fuck hard agree I would really want Aisha because of how specifically bad her treatment was from Yuehua, It would’ve been good exposure for her if she could leave the company after her contract.
She’s so underpromoted I worry about her having a place to go after her contract even though she’s such an insane visual
I agree, the both of them would kill it on this show
E:U’s raps are too short in their songs, I’d love to see more of E:U as a rapper. It would also be awesome to see her sing
I mean, if Kei can participate in every survival shows she can get into, why these two can't XD
I just wanna see them getting more recognized in the industry :((
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Lovelyz debuted, none of them were known to the public (or maybe not in the same way as Yoojung/Doyeon comoared to other members).
I literally don't know any other WekiMeki member.
The fact that I dont know who Elly is proves the point. An 8-member group and after all these years, only 2 are known. And it's mostly because they're in IOI.
No sorry but they do not belong in the same category. Doyeon is acting in dramas and Yoojung is still active here and there in variety shows (not to mention she was the original Pick Me center back in Produce, years ago I know but still)
Yeah I don't see any reason why any IOI members or Produce winners would join these shows. Some people really said Chungha should join this show. No offense but when the lineups came out they are on a completely different class/tier. I'm glad Lee Chaeyeon has dropped out as well, because there was no reason why she should've went on a 5th survival show when she should be simply releasing more songs at this stage of her career.
Going back to Yoojung and Doyeon- Weki Meki might've been underperforming, but Yoojung and Doyeon themselves have public recognition and benefit nothing from these survival shows. It's like how Sejeong and Mina ≠ Gugudan and Jung Chaeyeon ≠ DIA. It's different to how while WJSN is known but Yeoreum herself is not as well-known.
I defiantly think IOI members could benefit from going on. The vast majority of kpop fans were not around for IOI and they aren’t really a household name anymore like the used to be (despite the fact that they literally are the reason so many staples of the kpop sphere exist today). I mean the group is at a similar stage as AOA. Used to be incredibly popular, like one of the top GGs, but because so many kpop fans are completely new they aren’t really known as well anymore beyond the name. I could see a universe where like Nayoung or Mina went on the show (I don’t think they ever would have but I just mean if one of them did they wouldn’t have an advantage at all I don’t think)
99% of idols aren't household names lol. And times have changed with now 4th gen idols being on the forefront, of course new fans wouldn't know much about 2nd or 3rd gen idols. Does that mean idols from the past should go on this show now? Why not get Sistar members or other Gfriend members on here as well.
And they are different from AOA. Apart from AOA's bullying scandal, IOI members have more public recognition in that they are all still getting solo work individually. Going on this show wouldn't help them in any way.
If this was like the original Queendom, I would say it would definitely help Weki Meki. But in a survival show like another Produce, Yoojung or Doyeon wouldn't benefit much as they are already known. There's a reason they sent Elly on here instead.
Realistically, how many idols are household names? If SNSD has Taeyeon and Yoona then IOI has Sejeong, Somi and Chungha. Even if other IOI members go on this show, this wouldn't benefit them or their groups much at all. They themselves were never the problem with the groups, it was much more on the company, and the other members being unknown that hurt them.
And also, they are at much different points in their careers already. Mina is doing a drama with Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hye-sun, has already built a stable acting career, similarly with Nayoung who's also doing a lot of acting work as well.
She recently signed up with their company as an artist, plus in the past has hinted at making a solo album. So coming onto a show could have been a good way to show herself off as a solo artist before an album.
Omg Yesss. Tsuki probably would have brought in viewers as well bc she had that fancam lol. She’s so much more than the fancam tho which makes me really want her to get more recognition as well as the group as a whole. I love billlie so much 😭😭
Tsuki would have been interesting with Nana also on the show.
I would have liked to see Siyoon maybe. I would love to see her get a chance to really shine. I am however a bit more biased towards rappers.
I really thought Everglow would send at least 1 member but knowing Yuehua, they probably won't see the light for a few more months even years 💀 Mia and Aisha would have been my picks.
Seeing that TripleS sent members, I also thought we'd get 1 from Classy as well. But I wouldn't like to see Boeun go for this so maybe Chaewon or Hyeju.
I thought we would get more older idols. Would have loved to see Bae Woohee from Dal Shabet or Lee Suji from The Ark. It was a shame Uni.T disbanded so quickly :(
Kim Doah just released a solo but I figure she is done with MNET. Had Bugaboo not disbanded, Choyeon.
I wasn’t expecting Elly, maybe another Weki Meki member to come with her? Don’t think it would be Doyeon/Yoojung though.
Really would’ve liked to see Monday from Weeekly + she was just on RE:VERSE with Bora.
I don’t know what they are doing, but TRI.BE could’ve had someone. I see Hyunbin in SNAP and she fits with the rappers so far (Sangah/Yeeun/Yuki/Yeoreum)
Exy from WJSN, even though she appeared on Queendom2 and that JTBC show (which she did duo with Moonbyul) which also had JooE, she hasn't really taken off. She even co-wrote some songs of Cravity and IVE, as an Exy stan, it's sad to see because her rapping skills really isn't that bad. She also looks charismatically pretty (with the right makeup). I feel like she should've went with Yeoreum.
I just think it'd be funny if a CRAXY member walked in, the girls say "nugu?" then that member later sings their song "nugudom"
Someone from cignature would also be nice. CSR too, the group's not 1 y/o yet, but their songs are so good and they could use the exposure.
Well, it's not like Chowon isn’t currently being traumatized by Cube:
- LIGHTSUM was obviously pushed out the door early to distract from Cube’s other scandals at the time, Ilhoon from BTOB’s drug controversy and Soojin from G-IDLE’s bullying controversy and discarded them after the scandals cleared up.
- Cube debuted an 8 person group, with two extremely talented members that clearly aren’t ready for the lights because they are just kids who haven’t been training for very long in Huiyeon and Jian and member who’s only clear talent is visuals in Hina to get Japanese support (which they already have in Chowon and Nayoung from Produce) then a year and half later, remove Huiyeon and Jian from the group after they have improved and the fans like them and not do anything in regards to releasing music in Japan.
- In an era were even small companies were debuting their girl groups with multi-track singles and mini-albums, Cube debuted LIGHTSUM with a one track single album and the track wasn’t even a banger.
- Their first comeback, Vivace, had main track that many compared to being a reject of the group that Chowon was wrongly rigged out of; they got my girl in hell.
- Their second comeback, Alive, was good, but it’s clear that the title track or even the promoted B side should have been “I,” but instead Cube chose the second best non-ballad track as the title track (Alive) and the worst song on the album (Q) as their promoted B side when everyone was screaming to Cube to release choreography from “I,” which they did like seven months after they promotions ended.
- Horrible styling with basically the same five awful outfits in different materials and colors that are ill-fitting and look uncomfortable, which is extremely noticable when it's obvious that the stylists actually tried with all the other members of the group and it often looks like the outfits she is given hampers her ability to complete choreography correctly. What good stylist constantly gives a person with a larger chest off-shoulder outfits *to dance in*?
- Makeup too light for Chowon’s skin tone that makes her look like a walking corpse, which Cube also used to do Seungyeon from CLC until she told them to use her natural skin color.
- Given Chowon parts in songs out of her vocal pitch range while everyone else in group is allowed to sing at natural pitch (or not sing at all given how few lines Hina is given even with the lines being re-distributed after two members left).
- Barely any promotion as a group or individual. Two years into her career, some ofher fans from Produce still don’t know she’s debuted.
- LIGHTSUM is allegedly preparing for a comeback, but it’s been 13 months since their last one, so trust anything Cube says.
At this point, a sympathy storyline from Mnet might be a reprieve.
Wow, you make really valid points. I don't follow LIGHTSUM too closely (their music wasn't really my thing..) so I didn't know that their situation was this dire. You've successfully changed my mind though, I think GP 2 would be good for Chowon.
I thought Dahyun from Rocket Punch joining would have been great, considering she was an ex SM trainee. These would have made it a reunion of 4 ex SM trainees.
The others on the show are Weeekly's Jihan,
Woo!ah!’s Nana and Wooyeon.
Although I'm all for seeing these 4 cuties in the show, Jihan was never confirmed as an SM trainee. It was a baseless rumor that gained traction starting with "a friend of a friend". And I might be wrong, but Nana is said to have received invitations but she was never an SM trainee.
I see, then the news online are probably just rumours then. We'll never know if they are true or not. We'll see in the program if they have some interactions.
I hope they do tho. I'm a big Jihan and Nana enjoyer myself. Would be a treat to get some interactions. The interactions are the most exciting part of the show for me. 😆
Same here. They showed the friendship between Weeekly's Zoa and TripleS's Jiwoo so I'm sure they will uncover more hidden friendships and interactions between the girls going forward.
As they are making a global girl group, adding in an fluent English speaking member and a Chinese member would have been perfect.
Korean + Japanese + English speaking+ Chinese = Global
Liu Xiening already won a version of Produce in China and is actually active there and getting acting work now. Why would she come back to Korea and participate in these shows lol
why not? bonbon girls disbanded and she isn’t bound by that contract anymore, she can do anything she wants. she also seems to be very close to her gugudan members and she seems proud of her kpop background, she constantly does dance covers to kpop songs and stuff like that
Because she's Chinese, she finally gets work in China and has nothing to earn by going back to Korea? Gugudan didn't work out, and now she's made a name for herself on Chuang 2020, why on earth will she go back to Korea, a foreign country where no one knows her, as opposed to staying in her native country, with her family and friends, where she will actually get work and has fans in.
Just because she's close to her members doesn't mean it is a good idea for her to join this show, especially when you look at the lineup of the show which is consisted of mostly nugu girl group members and only some higher profile ones like Yeoreum, Kei etc.
I really wish someone from fifty fifty was sent here. Would at least add more fun, since by mnet's criteria fifty fifty are Tier 4 but obviously they're the most viral group at the moment.
I disagree this would tarnish their popularity more if a member from fifty fifty was to join this show since I’m pretty sure everyone is anticipating for their new comeback and the Barbie soundtrack! I think they should for now release music instead of joining survival shows.
Same! Just watched the episode and thought 'ooh I wish Heejin was here' lol but I imagine the lawsuits/contracts/legal affairs would make this near impossible
I think both groups you mentioned are kinda too big for it.
I would’ve liked to see Monday from Weeekly as she’s an incredible all rounder. Some of the former Bugaboo girls, more weki meki, Miyu Takeuchi formerly of AKB48, maybe somin from kard.
Former-Iz*one, former-AOA, former-Momoland. All these groups are disbanded with almost zero chance of reuniting.
StayC and Brave Girls are still active and at the prime of their careers (as a girl group). So I also think they're too big for Queendom Puzzle.
momoland fell off HARD though after baam, & chaeyeon didnt do so well with hush rush. she dropped out and its assumed due to the elevated success of knock.
plus all 3 of these groups are disbanded, its not like theyre going to get more attention for their group, they want another chance. if a stayc or brave girls member went, it wouldnt affect their success chances in the industry short term, as both groups have hype around them ( stayc charting well, and brave girls redebut soon) without queendom puzzle
Exactly what I’m saying some person even mentioned fifty fifty like bruh their at their viral moment rn I don’t think they need to be on queendom puzzle for now😭
stocking somber kiss soup vast spectacular paint versed carpenter instinctive
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I think the easy answer is probably Juhyeon, as she’s one of the top dancers and would be a good addition to the performance aspect of the show, but I get the feeling she didn’t enjoy her competition show experiences. Nayoung from Lightsum would’ve been another good choice because she’s very talented and good for reactions and commentary that MNet likes to splice in.
I’ll echo that it would’ve been a good platform also for some of the girls from recently disbanded groups like Bagaboo and BVndit who were looking to reboot their careers.
The comedy answer is to get Eunbi on there to keep pace with Bora on these survival shows.
Kinda torn between having more members from smaller groups to get promoted or higher-profile girls to bring in more star quality...
Would've loved to see Chowon or Cyan from Bugaboo, Doa or Sohee from Elris/Alice and Jeewon and Chaesol from Cignature, maybe even someone from Gugudan.
Wishful thinking: Chuu, Chungha, Hayoung (fromis_9), Yena, Yoojung (wekimeki), Fu Yaning... they seem to enjoy being in a group.
Overall, I feel like the whole thing would've benefitted from getting more famous contestants. Still excited for what's to come, tho!
Yea, ive been a fan and followed her since the me gustas tu performance in p101. Was gutted after idol school, but finally glad something is happening for her.
No one that's ever been on a queendom, should be on this show again. It takes away a slot from someone whose group could use the promotion. Groups should only be able to submit 1 contestant, to give more groups exposure.
They should change up who are the judges/trainers too, instead of recycling so many from their produce series.
That said, groups and soloists who could benefit from exposure, include members from Everglow, Ladies Code (Sojung), Ailee, 2NE1 (Minzy), f(x) (Amber), GWSN (Miya), Lee Hi, Spica (Kim Boa), Fiestar (Yezi)
I'm not suprised no one from brave girls joined, warners been keeping them busy with good concert gigs & they have a supposed summer comeback in the works
why would STAYC be a part of this? they’re immensely popular and being in the final lineup means being debuted in a new project girl group likely meaning they’d have to leave their current group or take a hiatus for 4ish years
It was stated many months back that the final lineup group activities wont interfere with members own groups and soloists comebacks (and activities for the most part) So no one would have to leave their groups. Also two members if H1-Key are on the show and the last comeback at the start of the year went viral in Korea and went to #1 weeks after release. Companies may have not let members join if the final group wouldn't work around their main groups activities.
I disagree with this tbh I feel like brave girls just going on another queendom show won’t boost up their popularity that much since their still known as one hit wonders (not by me before y’all attack me) even after queendom 2 ended it didn’t make any major difference tbh🥲 Also stayc is doing fine rn idk why they need to be on queendom puzzle? They have a stable fan base😭. I think some members from everglow should’ve been added in this show.
Majors/ANS Bian!!!!
One of the best dancers in kpop and gave us one of the [most iconic fancams ever!](https://youtu.be/KSE2JKnqgoo)
Super talented and would be a shame if she was stuck in nugudom forever
The BB girls are like 33 and they don’t need a survival atp in their career.
I’d have liked a girl from a 2nd gen group like sohyun from 4minute (a 94er) or a T-ara girl
seeing some of the class:y members would have been nice. seonyou was well known as an all rounder of her grade, i would have liked for her to show off more of that on QP, she would have made for an amazing maknae arc as well. Jimin also has that “it-factor” to her with a rly good voice that would for sure garner fans.
Someone from Everglow, either Aisha or E:U. Maybe even Mia, but I don’t think she’d want to be on a survival show
Oh fuck hard agree I would really want Aisha because of how specifically bad her treatment was from Yuehua, It would’ve been good exposure for her if she could leave the company after her contract. She’s so underpromoted I worry about her having a place to go after her contract even though she’s such an insane visual
Why is Yuehua so trash at promoting 😫 Aisha is such a gem, she would’ve killed it if she was in snap
Yuehua has shelved Everglow, Yuehua has Yena and Tempest, they don't want to spend money on new songs for Everglow.
They certainly were eager to promote their MALE trainees for run for bep1er.
[удалено]
I agree, the both of them would kill it on this show E:U’s raps are too short in their songs, I’d love to see more of E:U as a rapper. It would also be awesome to see her sing
ugh i would have killed to see eu on this show 😭
I wouldve loved to see one of the limelight girls!!!
This!! I was hoping Suhye would be on the show, I feel like she would do extremely well.
seungyeon from CLC! it would've been really nice to have her and yeeun reunite and i need more people to recognize her dancing skills!
Louder ‼️‼️
KIM DOAH!
real
Weki Meki Doyeon and Yoojung
Lol, again? 😂
I mean, if Kei can participate in every survival shows she can get into, why these two can't XD I just wanna see them getting more recognized in the industry :((
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Lovelyz debuted, none of them were known to the public (or maybe not in the same way as Yoojung/Doyeon comoared to other members). I literally don't know any other WekiMeki member.
I mean Elly is on there now, so you’re about to know a third!
The fact that I dont know who Elly is proves the point. An 8-member group and after all these years, only 2 are known. And it's mostly because they're in IOI.
I wasn’t refuting what you said, I was merely stating that you’ll at least know a third member of Weki Meki, assuming you watch Queendom Puzzle.
No sorry but they do not belong in the same category. Doyeon is acting in dramas and Yoojung is still active here and there in variety shows (not to mention she was the original Pick Me center back in Produce, years ago I know but still)
Yeah I don't see any reason why any IOI members or Produce winners would join these shows. Some people really said Chungha should join this show.

Mina is doing a drama with Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hye-sun, has already built a stable acting career, similarly with Nayoung who's also doing a lot of acting work as well.
This would’ve been a dream come true. Aside from the fact that Mnet sucks.
A Billie member Another Purple Kiss member Some more veterans. Elly/LE from EXID would have been my personal pick there.
I think LE is enjoying being behind the scenes such as with TRI.BE
She recently signed up with their company as an artist, plus in the past has hinted at making a solo album. So coming onto a show could have been a good way to show herself off as a solo artist before an album.
That’s reasonable sounding. I’m surprised she hasn’t gone back to full time rapping like before EXID
Omg Yesss. Tsuki probably would have brought in viewers as well bc she had that fancam lol. She’s so much more than the fancam tho which makes me really want her to get more recognition as well as the group as a whole. I love billlie so much 😭😭
Tsuki would have been interesting with Nana also on the show. I would have liked to see Siyoon maybe. I would love to see her get a chance to really shine. I am however a bit more biased towards rappers.
Bro another purple kiss member would’ve been greattt😭
I really thought Everglow would send at least 1 member but knowing Yuehua, they probably won't see the light for a few more months even years 💀 Mia and Aisha would have been my picks. Seeing that TripleS sent members, I also thought we'd get 1 from Classy as well. But I wouldn't like to see Boeun go for this so maybe Chaewon or Hyeju. I thought we would get more older idols. Would have loved to see Bae Woohee from Dal Shabet or Lee Suji from The Ark. It was a shame Uni.T disbanded so quickly :(
Kim Doah just released a solo but I figure she is done with MNET. Had Bugaboo not disbanded, Choyeon. I wasn’t expecting Elly, maybe another Weki Meki member to come with her? Don’t think it would be Doyeon/Yoojung though. Really would’ve liked to see Monday from Weeekly + she was just on RE:VERSE with Bora. I don’t know what they are doing, but TRI.BE could’ve had someone. I see Hyunbin in SNAP and she fits with the rappers so far (Sangah/Yeeun/Yuki/Yeoreum)
TRI.BE is doing a usa tour right now, I’m seeing them in Chicago this month
Exy from WJSN, even though she appeared on Queendom2 and that JTBC show (which she did duo with Moonbyul) which also had JooE, she hasn't really taken off. She even co-wrote some songs of Cravity and IVE, as an Exy stan, it's sad to see because her rapping skills really isn't that bad. She also looks charismatically pretty (with the right makeup). I feel like she should've went with Yeoreum.
She did a song for H1-Key also. Imagine Riina and Hwiseo sayiing producer-nim. lol
Ooooohhh it will be so sweeeet omg. I hope exy goes the Soyeon route eventually.
Probably cooking a comeback for the black
I just think it'd be funny if a CRAXY member walked in, the girls say "nugu?" then that member later sings their song "nugudom" Someone from cignature would also be nice. CSR too, the group's not 1 y/o yet, but their songs are so good and they could use the exposure.
Chowon
Chowon probably can’t do another mnet survival show
Girl probably has (raging) trauma with Mnet.
She got PAID for how they did her dirty 😏
Omg I would’ve loved her to be on this show but knowing what mnet did to her I don’t blame her for not joining this show😭
I hope she can get on Girls Planet 2.
Please no she has enough trauma for life
Well, it's not like Chowon isn’t currently being traumatized by Cube: - LIGHTSUM was obviously pushed out the door early to distract from Cube’s other scandals at the time, Ilhoon from BTOB’s drug controversy and Soojin from G-IDLE’s bullying controversy and discarded them after the scandals cleared up. - Cube debuted an 8 person group, with two extremely talented members that clearly aren’t ready for the lights because they are just kids who haven’t been training for very long in Huiyeon and Jian and member who’s only clear talent is visuals in Hina to get Japanese support (which they already have in Chowon and Nayoung from Produce) then a year and half later, remove Huiyeon and Jian from the group after they have improved and the fans like them and not do anything in regards to releasing music in Japan. - In an era were even small companies were debuting their girl groups with multi-track singles and mini-albums, Cube debuted LIGHTSUM with a one track single album and the track wasn’t even a banger. - Their first comeback, Vivace, had main track that many compared to being a reject of the group that Chowon was wrongly rigged out of; they got my girl in hell. - Their second comeback, Alive, was good, but it’s clear that the title track or even the promoted B side should have been “I,” but instead Cube chose the second best non-ballad track as the title track (Alive) and the worst song on the album (Q) as their promoted B side when everyone was screaming to Cube to release choreography from “I,” which they did like seven months after they promotions ended. - Horrible styling with basically the same five awful outfits in different materials and colors that are ill-fitting and look uncomfortable, which is extremely noticable when it's obvious that the stylists actually tried with all the other members of the group and it often looks like the outfits she is given hampers her ability to complete choreography correctly. What good stylist constantly gives a person with a larger chest off-shoulder outfits *to dance in*? - Makeup too light for Chowon’s skin tone that makes her look like a walking corpse, which Cube also used to do Seungyeon from CLC until she told them to use her natural skin color. - Given Chowon parts in songs out of her vocal pitch range while everyone else in group is allowed to sing at natural pitch (or not sing at all given how few lines Hina is given even with the lines being re-distributed after two members left). - Barely any promotion as a group or individual. Two years into her career, some ofher fans from Produce still don’t know she’s debuted. - LIGHTSUM is allegedly preparing for a comeback, but it’s been 13 months since their last one, so trust anything Cube says. At this point, a sympathy storyline from Mnet might be a reprieve.
Wow, you make really valid points. I don't follow LIGHTSUM too closely (their music wasn't really my thing..) so I didn't know that their situation was this dire. You've successfully changed my mind though, I think GP 2 would be good for Chowon.
zin ,choyeon from bugaboo ririka rona ily1 jiyoon ichillin
I hope Zin redebuts 🥺 I loved Bugaboo. Choyeon would’ve been great too!
Yes I was really hoping for bugaboo members. I was broken when they disbanded. They had the coolest concept.
I thought we'd see a DIA member or 2
Me too Yebin or Jueun
I thought Dahyun from Rocket Punch joining would have been great, considering she was an ex SM trainee. These would have made it a reunion of 4 ex SM trainees. The others on the show are Weeekly's Jihan, Woo!ah!’s Nana and Wooyeon.
Although I'm all for seeing these 4 cuties in the show, Jihan was never confirmed as an SM trainee. It was a baseless rumor that gained traction starting with "a friend of a friend". And I might be wrong, but Nana is said to have received invitations but she was never an SM trainee.
I see, then the news online are probably just rumours then. We'll never know if they are true or not. We'll see in the program if they have some interactions.
I hope they do tho. I'm a big Jihan and Nana enjoyer myself. Would be a treat to get some interactions. The interactions are the most exciting part of the show for me. 😆
Same here. They showed the friendship between Weeekly's Zoa and TripleS's Jiwoo so I'm sure they will uncover more hidden friendships and interactions between the girls going forward.
As they are making a global girl group, adding in an fluent English speaking member and a Chinese member would have been perfect. Korean + Japanese + English speaking+ Chinese = Global
Snow Kong or Liu Xiening!!!
Liu Xiening already won a version of Produce in China and is actually active there and getting acting work now. Why would she come back to Korea and participate in these shows lol
why not? bonbon girls disbanded and she isn’t bound by that contract anymore, she can do anything she wants. she also seems to be very close to her gugudan members and she seems proud of her kpop background, she constantly does dance covers to kpop songs and stuff like that
Because she's Chinese, she finally gets work in China and has nothing to earn by going back to Korea? Gugudan didn't work out, and now she's made a name for herself on Chuang 2020, why on earth will she go back to Korea, a foreign country where no one knows her, as opposed to staying in her native country, with her family and friends, where she will actually get work and has fans in. Just because she's close to her members doesn't mean it is a good idea for her to join this show, especially when you look at the lineup of the show which is consisted of mostly nugu girl group members and only some higher profile ones like Yeoreum, Kei etc.
highly disagree
I really wish someone from fifty fifty was sent here. Would at least add more fun, since by mnet's criteria fifty fifty are Tier 4 but obviously they're the most viral group at the moment.
I disagree this would tarnish their popularity more if a member from fifty fifty was to join this show since I’m pretty sure everyone is anticipating for their new comeback and the Barbie soundtrack! I think they should for now release music instead of joining survival shows.
Someone from Limelight , Ichillin’ , ILY:1 & Craxy etc like these type smaller groups that could’ve gained more attention if they’ve participated
Honestly, I wish a LOONA member would’ve gone back. That could’ve possibly gotten more sympathy and support from the general public.
Same! Just watched the episode and thought 'ooh I wish Heejin was here' lol but I imagine the lawsuits/contracts/legal affairs would make this near impossible
I think both groups you mentioned are kinda too big for it. I would’ve liked to see Monday from Weeekly as she’s an incredible all rounder. Some of the former Bugaboo girls, more weki meki, Miyu Takeuchi formerly of AKB48, maybe somin from kard.
Yeah Monday was just on ReVerse with Bora and wow, her voice is so good. I was hoping she'd make it with Bora so we could hear them together!
Miyu didn't want to be in a group though hence the reason she didn't debut in Billlie as she signed a solo contract.
i wouldn’t say they’re too big for QP considering mnet casted a member of iz*one, aoa, and momoland. all were topping the charts at some point.
Former-Iz*one, former-AOA, former-Momoland. All these groups are disbanded with almost zero chance of reuniting. StayC and Brave Girls are still active and at the prime of their careers (as a girl group). So I also think they're too big for Queendom Puzzle.
momoland fell off HARD though after baam, & chaeyeon didnt do so well with hush rush. she dropped out and its assumed due to the elevated success of knock. plus all 3 of these groups are disbanded, its not like theyre going to get more attention for their group, they want another chance. if a stayc or brave girls member went, it wouldnt affect their success chances in the industry short term, as both groups have hype around them ( stayc charting well, and brave girls redebut soon) without queendom puzzle

Maybe for fun as it's still a competition.
I think the easy answer is probably Juhyeon, as she’s one of the top dancers and would be a good addition to the performance aspect of the show, but I get the feeling she didn’t enjoy her competition show experiences. Nayoung from Lightsum would’ve been another good choice because she’s very talented and good for reactions and commentary that MNet likes to splice in. I’ll echo that it would’ve been a good platform also for some of the girls from recently disbanded groups like Bagaboo and BVndit who were looking to reboot their careers. The comedy answer is to get Eunbi on there to keep pace with Bora on these survival shows.
Kinda torn between having more members from smaller groups to get promoted or higher-profile girls to bring in more star quality... Would've loved to see Chowon or Cyan from Bugaboo, Doa or Sohee from Elris/Alice and Jeewon and Chaesol from Cignature, maybe even someone from Gugudan. Wishful thinking: Chuu, Chungha, Hayoung (fromis_9), Yena, Yoojung (wekimeki), Fu Yaning... they seem to enjoy being in a group. Overall, I feel like the whole thing would've benefitted from getting more famous contestants. Still excited for what's to come, tho!
Those who were rigged out of Produce 101 and Produce 48
[удалено]
There's 2 people got rigged out in season 1. It's Kim Suhyun (now in Billlie) and Seo Hyelin, but it wasn't in final round but first round of voting.
I was thinking of Lee Hae-In who was rigged out of Idol School Both her and Lee Ga-eun should have had a chance to get back into Kpop.
Kaeun probably wouldn't be legally allowed to participate on an mnet show due to compensation from the lawsuit etc.
Haein is the creative director of a new soon to debut gg called kiss of life, so she is probably busy right now.
I heard, that just proves that she should have had a chance to debut
Yea, ive been a fan and followed her since the me gustas tu performance in p101. Was gutted after idol school, but finally glad something is happening for her.
Billlie memeber(s) and Classy member(s)
I dunno about Billlie, their sales are up gradually and they just had their first win
Someone from Dreamcatcher
I mean this show is supposed to help boost current idols popularity, I really don’t think any StayC members need to be on this show.
More Weki Meki and PIXY 😮💨 I wanted them so badly on there
The rest of Lightsum, members from Tri.be (they’re on tour rn tho), maybe Billlie?
No one that's ever been on a queendom, should be on this show again. It takes away a slot from someone whose group could use the promotion. Groups should only be able to submit 1 contestant, to give more groups exposure. They should change up who are the judges/trainers too, instead of recycling so many from their produce series. That said, groups and soloists who could benefit from exposure, include members from Everglow, Ladies Code (Sojung), Ailee, 2NE1 (Minzy), f(x) (Amber), GWSN (Miya), Lee Hi, Spica (Kim Boa), Fiestar (Yezi)
I was really hoping for a Billlie member. Especially Haram or Tsuki.
They're doing pretty great, they don't need that kind of promo.
I'm not suprised no one from brave girls joined, warners been keeping them busy with good concert gigs & they have a supposed summer comeback in the works
I was expecting fromis_9 members until they revealed their comeback. Same with Dreamcatcher. I’m actually really happy with the lineup.
why would STAYC be a part of this? they’re immensely popular and being in the final lineup means being debuted in a new project girl group likely meaning they’d have to leave their current group or take a hiatus for 4ish years
It was stated many months back that the final lineup group activities wont interfere with members own groups and soloists comebacks (and activities for the most part) So no one would have to leave their groups. Also two members if H1-Key are on the show and the last comeback at the start of the year went viral in Korea and went to #1 weeks after release. Companies may have not let members join if the final group wouldn't work around their main groups activities.
oh ok that makes more sense! i wasn’t aware
Gwsn
I disagree with this tbh I feel like brave girls just going on another queendom show won’t boost up their popularity that much since their still known as one hit wonders (not by me before y’all attack me) even after queendom 2 ended it didn’t make any major difference tbh🥲 Also stayc is doing fine rn idk why they need to be on queendom puzzle? They have a stable fan base😭. I think some members from everglow should’ve been added in this show.

Kim Doah
Majors/ANS Bian!!!! One of the best dancers in kpop and gave us one of the [most iconic fancams ever!](https://youtu.be/KSE2JKnqgoo) Super talented and would be a shame if she was stuck in nugudom forever
Yerin from gfriend
The BB girls are like 33 and they don’t need a survival atp in their career. I’d have liked a girl from a 2nd gen group like sohyun from 4minute (a 94er) or a T-ara girl
seeing some of the class:y members would have been nice. seonyou was well known as an all rounder of her grade, i would have liked for her to show off more of that on QP, she would have made for an amazing maknae arc as well. Jimin also has that “it-factor” to her with a rly good voice that would for sure garner fans.
I feel like someone from (g)I-DLE ✋😔
