The third preliminary competition...
is composed of two rounds.
The first round is...
the Unit Round.
My goodness.
(The 1st vocal unit stage was "Scarecrow" by Bom and Jung.)
(The 2nd vocal unit stage was "instagram" by AI.)
Her voice sounds so good.
(AI surprised everyone with their unique vocals.)
(The 3rd vocal unit stage was "wish you were gay" by 95.)
(Their wonderful teamwork really made them shine.)
(The 1st solo for the Performance Unit was by Ye In.)
(The 2nd solo was by Soojin of (G)I-DLE.)
(The 3rd solo was by AOA's Chanmi.)
(The 4th solo was by YooA of OH MY GIRL.)
(The 5th solo was by Moonbyul of MAMAMOO.)
(And...)
(this was the Performance Unit's group performance, )
(the one and only performance by six queens.)
(Six Puzzles pulled off a powerful group performance.)
(How will the final results...)
(for the Unit Round turn out to be?)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
The Performance Unit's stage...
concludes the 1st round of the 3rd preliminary competition.
It's time to vote again.
Weren't the performances absolutely amazing today?
- Yes! - Yes!
I was astonished.
Have you all decided who to vote for?
- Yes! - Yes!
Awesome.
We will now begin voting.
(The voting for the 1st round of the 3rd preliminary competition begins.)
(Which performances moved the audience's hearts?)
- 10, 9, 8, - 9, 8,
- 7, 6, - 7, 6,
- 5, 4, 3, - 5, 4, 3,
- 2, 1. Done. - 2, 1.
(The 6 teams are waiting for the final results.)
I had to put everything away in a second.
Do you want to build a snowman?
(Each member from the Unit Round returns.)
- Great work. - Congratulations.
(Screaming in excitement)
- Good work! - Why are you all standing?
Great work!
This is a present for you.
(O Sole Mio)
(That was very random of her.)
(Trudging)
Why are you alone?
(Just as she was asking, Moonbyul enters the room.)
Look at you.
- Great work. - I brought us money.
Let's open it.
- What is it? - It's the results.
Here are the results.
Open it when you're ready.
(They'll check their results with their teams.)
- The results are here. - The results are here.
- It's here? - I don't care about the ranks.
But you do, which is why I got so nervous.
No, not at all.
- We don't care. - Not at all.
(I can't seem to control my legs though.)
- Let's see it. - Which one should we check first?
(Jimin picks...)
Vocal.
Fine.
(Sighs)
Isn't it so pressuring?
Vocal Unit rankings.
- Should we open it right away? - Go ahead.
What do we do?
Let's not open it.
- I can't open it. - We're either 2nd or 3rd.
I feel like I'm going to get hurt from seeing this.
(Screaming in anxiety)
(What are the rankings for the Vocal Units?)
What is this?
I think I need some Magnesium,
my eyelids are trembling.
Me too.
My eyelids are trembling like crazy,
can I have some Magnesium please?
- Pass me a Magnesium pill. - Me too.
(It's a very nerve-racking moment.)
- I can't do this. - Why not?
Your screaming is making me more nervous.
Stop getting so nervous.
I'm getting even more nervous because of you.
- I don't want to. - On the count of three?
It's all because of her.
- Help me. - Let's open it.
- Hold on. I see something. - Do you want me to check first?
Would you like to?
- Watch my reaction first. - Why not?
(Guessing their results based on Hwa Sa's reaction)
Look at my face.
(Hwa Sa is checking the results first.)
(What does this reaction mean?)
(What are the rankings for the Vocal Units?)
(AI checked their results.)
Oh, my gosh.
Third place.
(AI is in 3rd place, scoring 500 points.)
It's fine.
Don't focus too much on the rankings.
(Sad)
- I think she cares. - Just a little.
It's fine. You did well.
It's fine, we both did great.
You did great.
(Sharing the results with the team)
(I see.)
- You did great. - You did a great job.
(Throws the paper in frustration)
(Mad)
Jimin, don't be so sad.
Forget about this. You were amazing.
- It's all over now. - We're happy.
We're happy with how you did.
- As long as we're happy. - That's right.
- You did well. - In our eyes, you were the best.
In our eyes, AI won.
AI was great.
Let's see it.
I see AI.
It's not great.
- That's fine. - Good job.
It's fine?
You're bronze. If this was the Olympics, you'd get a medal.
That's right!
(Soyeon is truly a leader.)
I have to have this heavy heart and perform for the group stage.
- Are you going to kill it? - I'm going to kill it.
Great.
(It's going just as planned.)
I'm going to kill it!
(Determined)
This is fun.
Can we know who won?
Look at my face.
(What is Hwa Sa's reaction implying?)
Let's look at it together.
(I can't wait any longer.)
I have no idea.
(Did 95 win?)
Let's play rock, paper and scissors and have the winner check.
(Bom wins.)
(Nervous)
(Did Bom and Jung win?)
(Who won the Vocal Unit round?)
This isn't a prank, is it?
I didn't think we won based on your reaction.
(95 wins the Vocal Unit round.)
Second place.
(Bom and Jung is in the 2nd place for the Vocal Unit round.)
When am I ever going to come in first place?
You've come in first already.
When is my time?
Please let me win, just once.
I'm pathetic. Just let me win once.
I'm a pathetic kid.
We're in second place, so we got 1,500 points.
(Let's cheer!)
Thank you!
The results don't matter.
We're so proud of you.
This isn't a prank, is it? I'm going to cry.
Unbelievable.
(Tearing up)
Thank you.
Why are you thanking me? You did great!
(One is crying, and one is laughing. 95 are opposites until the end.)
I don't know how to react.
Me neither.
(What do I do with you?)
I wasn't going to cry.
You did great.
We both did great, thank you.
Thanks for being my partner.
- Thanks for accepting my gimbap. - What do you mean?
Thanks for accepting my gimbap.
(Thanks for being my partner and accepting my gimbap.)
(For you, I am...)
(the delicious dried laver on gimbap.)
(For me, you are...)
(the rice inside the gimbap.)
(We were so different, )
(but now, we're like the dried laver and rice in gimbap.)
(We're friends...)
(who will always think of each other.)
(We hope the memory of 95...)
(continues.)
Congratulations.
First place!
(You did it!)
We won 2,500 points!
(Dancing around)
How did you win first place?
When Hwa Sa began singing,
I felt like I was watching a singer perform.
So I knew 95 would win.
(Respect)
It was a touching performance.
I was even jealous of the teamwork between Hwa Sa and Kei.
I've always wanted to sing and perform a song like that.
(MAMAMOO and Lovelyz received 2,500 points.)
(Park Bom and OH MY GIRL received 1,500 points.)
(AOA and (G)I-DLE received 500 points.)
Are the results out for the Performance Unit as well?
(I wonder how Soojin did.)
(Meanwhile, )
(the Performance Unit members check their results as well.)
I think Lovelyz will win...
in the Performance Unit Round as well.
You never know.
Let's see the results now.
- How do you think I did? - I think you won.
- 3rd at the worst. - I was thinking 2nd place.
- Me too. - I think I'd be surprised...
if you aren't in the top.
I really think you're either 1st or 2nd place.
Open it!
- I can't do this. - Hold on.
I tried my best.
- Did you not do well? - Unfortunately,
- 2nd place? - I got 4th place.
That's fine.
(Ye In placed 4th in the Performance Unit round.)
- Sorry, everyone. - I'm just happy...
that you got to perform what you've been wanting to do.
I'm just happy that you said I did well...
and that you're all happy.
You did a great job.
- You did well. - Thank you all.
- You were beautiful on stage. - You worked hard.
I'm sorry.
You're not trying to prank us when you've won, are you?
No.
- What if you won? - I really didn't.
I'm...
It's fine.
You did a great job.
(Throwing the results away)
(Chanmi of AOA is in 5th place.)
Let's forget about this and prepare for the next performance.
We don't have much time, go practice!
Come on.
(This is AOA, who don't care about the rankings.)
(Throwing the blanket off)
Get up already!
(You're all so hilarious.)
It was an amazing opportunity...
that you've gifted me, Teacher.
Don't call me Teacher.
(Don't call me Teacher.)
I meant Senior.
(I'm going to have to remember that.)
- So how did you do? - I got sixth place.
(Eun Ji of Brave Girls got 6th place.)
I'm so sorry.
I'm so shocked.
You weren't that bad.
I'm sorry.
- It's fine. - I'm sorry.
- Thank you for the performance. - It's nothing.
I really appreciate it.
- Good luck! - Good luck.
Good luck on your next performance.
(Who won in the Performance Unit?)
It's YooA's turn now.
I wanted to bring you a win...
(It's fine.)
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
It's fine, I was second place too.
(I see.)
That's why she was like that earlier.
Just look at it.
(Let's open it first.)
(This is exciting.)
Congratulations.
(Did Moonbyul come in 1st place?)
((G)I-DLE is opening up Soojin's results.)
This is nerve-racking.
(What's up with this reaction?)
I didn't see it.
Is it what we thought it'd be?
(Minnie is checking Soojin's results again.)
What is it?
You did so well!
(Did Soojin of (G)I-DLE come in 1st place?)
(Who won the Performance Unit Round?)
(It will be revealed soon.)
(Who won the Performance Unit Round?)
I didn't see it.
(Soojin of (G)I-DLE is in 3rd place.)
I'm very satisfied.
- I really am. - Great job.
You both won third.
We're third-place winners!
You're both third place.
(Let's keep going and do well in the 2nd round.)
Just look at it.
(How did Moonbyul do?)
(Screaming in excitement)
(Applauding)
Congratulations.
Moonbyul is in second place.
(Moonbyul of MAMAMOO wins 2nd place.)
I felt like the Performance Unit...
was very intense.
Congratulations.
I was so worried.
So who won?
First place...
How did YooA do?
It'd be so surprising if she won after all of this.
Yes, I won.
(Screaming like dolphins)
- 1st place! - 1st place!
(YooA of OH MY GIRL placed 1st.)
- 1st place! - 1st place!
(Let's celebrate!)
That's why she looked so proud.
You look like a winner.
I can't lie.
Are you insane?
(Are you insane?)
(This is how a real friend reacts.)
Don't forget that we're still filming.
(It's time for a break.)
Thank you.
Seunghee, are you getting emotional?
If you cry, I'm going to cry.
Don't cry!
I'm getting emotional.
Let's cry all the way to the final round.
- Don't cry! - Please pass us the cotton swabs.
We need some cotton swabs.
Why are you crying? Don't cry.
Don't cry!
We'll cover you up.
(Seunghee hugs YooA.)
(Getting emotional)
You did a great job.
I'm crying because of you.
You're so cool.
This is hilarious.
(This is how a professional manages her tears.)
Don't erase off all your makeup.
I felt so bad about not being able to perform in the previous contest.
During "Destiny",
I couldn't contribute much.
But my teammates comforted me, telling me not to be so pressured...
and helped me out so much.
I'm so thankful for my teammates and all those who voted for me.
(A round of applause for everyone that worked so hard)
- Great job! - You did great.
You did well.
We'll cut now.
1, 2, 3.
(Poof!)
Great job.
(MAMAMOO is in the lead with 4,955 points in total, )
(then Lovelyz with 4,796 points, OH MY GIRL with 4,000 points, )
((G)I-DLE with 2,864 points, Park Bom with 1,932 points...)
(and AOA with 1,568 points.)
(Another Queendom group chat opened up after last week's show.)
(Hello, I'm Hye Jeong.)
(- Hello. - Hi, I'm Chanmi.)
(Hyo Jung and YooA's greeting that cheered all the queens up)
We're all queens.
(Hyo Jung and YooA's greeting that cheered all the queens up)
(- Did you watch the show? - I watched it!)
(I was so touched by all the performances.)
(- I finally feel relieved now. - Six Puzzles was awesome!)
(- Vocal Units too. - You were all so sexy.)
(- Thank you. - Hello!)
(It's Soojin, the sexiest of us all.)
(- Hello. - It's Ye In.)
(- Ye In's splits surprised me. - Six Puzzles, great work!)
(- Let's have dinner after. - Six Puzzles, let's have dinner.)
(No, let's have a group dinner with everyone.)
(Let's talk about Six Puzzles dinner in our separate group chat.)
(Producer, we expect a full-on dinner.)
(Okay.)
(We expect beef.)
- See you all in the final round. - See you all in the final round.
I'm YooA.
I'm Hyo Jung.
Bye bye!
Great job, everyone.
Look here.
Tell everyone that they did great.
Tell them.
Good night.
(Let me show off my cat.)
(He looks just like you.)
Good night, everyone.
(Today's group chat ended with Solar's good night message.)
(3 days before the final round, at (G)I-DLE's agency)
We placed last.
(During the 2nd preliminary round, )
((G)I-DLE performed "Fire" and placed 6th.)
We placed last.
(Why is everyone cheering?)
It's like we're filming our own drama.
Indeed it is.
It's like we're in a movie.
We won first, then last.
Being last is better than being 4th or 5th.
That's right.
We can only go up from here.
You haven't all given up yet, have you?
Just laugh it off.
(Just laugh it off.)
This is hilarious.
We can't seem like we're discouraged.
- This is hilarious. - I don't want us to look sad.
We're not sad at all.
I think I can see fire coming out of you right now.
We'll do well this time.
I think Queendom performances...
take a lot of preparation,
both for the group...
and individual performances.
- So! - What?
We'll work really hard from today.
You're scaring me.
Bring sleeping bags.
We're all going to sleep in the practice room.
The theme of the last round is Fandora's Box.
Our fans picked...
- songs they'd like us to perform. - Right.
- So we have to choose one... - I want to see the list.
and perform that.
We're going to have to listen to what our fans would like to see.
Can we see the list?
They even gave a reason as to why they chose what they chose.
(So many fans sent in suggestions and reasons for their suggestions.)
Look. Take a look at this.
I'd like to see a side track performance.
That's true.
We haven't really done a side track performance yet.
I want to do one of our songs,
because we wrote all of them.
We'll be able to show our colors better...
if we do our song.
(We can show off our talents using our own songs.)
I want to do "Say No".
(Soyeon picks "Say No" by (G)I-DLE.)
(It's (G)I-DLE's breakup song that sings about...)
(someone who's hurt from a breakup.)
You know how I said I want to do something grotesque?
(A grotesque performance?)
I want to do something like that,
and I think I can rearrange "Say No" in that concept.
I'm worried about doing a side track performance.
Why?
Our fans aren't the only ones watching our performance.
We don't know what kind of audience will be watching...
and nobody knows "Say No" except for our fans.
- That's true. - That's right.
That's okay, the theme of this round is Fandora's Box.
I'm just worried that our stage won't resonate with the audience.
- I see your point. - I get what you mean.
If we just think about our fans,
I think it's better we do one of our songs,
and I especially like "Say No".
- I like it. - You do?
- Do you like it? - Yes.
- What about you, Yuqi? - Me?
You don't look so happy...
- right now. - No, that's not it.
Look. She seems anxious.
It'd be great for our fans...
because we've never performed this song,
but I'm worried other people might not know it.
Can I appeal some good things about "Say No"?
- I like that song. - "Say No"...
It's because Yuqi doesn't like the idea.
- That's not it. - Let me appeal it.
- Okay. - First off,
we can perform this song in a horror version.
I want a grotesque arrangement of it.
Its BPM could be changed to 100 in some part all of a sudden.
(Throwing ideas)
(It's so scary.)
- That sounds scary. - Something like that.
She's being persuaded.
(Smiling)
It's originally a ballad song.
If we arrange it into a dance song,
it might be cool.
It might be so cool.
About facial expressions,
we could all be in a daze in the beginning...
then put energy into our eyes.
- How? - Like this.
(Like this)
(Did you just say you didn't like me?)
- It's so scary. - Goodness.
You don't like me?
(Dropping her eyes)
- Goodness. - You don't like me?
(Screaming)
I like that. I like that very much.
Is it okay...
we perform "Say No" then?
(What's Yuqi's decision?)
Say yes.
Yes!
Was that witty?
Yes, that was witty.
Say yes.
I fell for it.
- You did? - Yes.
I really like it now that I heard her ideas.
Then we're going for it.
- All right. - "Say No".
- Let's do it. - Decided.
((G)I-DLE has decided to perform "Say No" for Fandora's Box.)
- Good. - Great.
How do you clap in a grotesque way?
(Like this?)
I don't know. I can't do it.
(Soyeon is thinking of an idea.)
(Like this!)
I knew it. That was it.
That was it.
- I like it. That's my style. - Goodness.
Actually, it was also my concern.
If we performed something more famous,
we could draw more reactions.
And the audience could be confused...
if we performed something that no one knew.
I was worried about that.
But I thought if we came up with a nice arrangement...
of "Say No",
it'd go very well with us,
so I wanted to go for it.
(MAMAMOO's meeting room)
Let's discuss what to choose for a group song.
Fandora's Box...
has to be about a performance that our fans would want us to do,
and the show has done a survey on it.
So...
First off, the ones that were mentioned the most...
are "My Star" and the "Immortal Songs" medley.
- That medley is included again. - I know.
(MAMAMOO even won the championship on "Immortal Songs".)
The medley that we did on our concert is 15 minutes long.
If the show gives us 15 minutes to perform,
- we'll do it. - Right.
But the thing is...
(It can't be done.)
This person recommends "My Star",
saying this song breaks the prejudice...
that MAMAMOO is good at singing because they never dance.
Oh, really?
("My Star" is powerful in terms of both dancing and singing.)
(They suddenly go into a concert mood.)
(My star)
There are other recommendations too.
"No More Drama".
(Their powerful voices stand out in the song.)
- No more drama - I can imagine...
how we should perform this song.
(They've got to sing a bit of the song while they're at it.)
- It's similar to "Decalcomanie". - Right.
(Going all hyper)
- You have such big nostrils. - Well...
(What an unexpected attack.)
You and I just don't get along.
Our fans know a lot of our hidden songs.
(Moonbyul suddenly smiles alone.)
This one says...
(What is it?)
The soundtrack of "Pokemon" in MAMAMOO's version.
(Pikachu, Raichu)
- Charmander, Squirtle - In a serious mood.
- Butterfree, Slowbro - Great.
(The "Pokemon" soundtrack full of sentiments)
This will be crazy.
- It sounds fun. - I know.
There's this one too.
- "I Miss You". - Are you okay with it?
I mean, it's very high.
Will you be okay, Wheein?
(What's wrong with you?)
- Are we asking each other? - Okay.
Isn't it high for you too?
- Your part. - Right.
It's high for all of us.
("I Miss You" is an expressive rhythm and blues song.)
(MAMAMOO tries singing the song this time as well.)
(Going into a concert mood again)
It might take a long time.
(Your voice)
Goodness.
(Singing)
Try singing.
I don't know this song.
- Why are you so... - I only know my part of the song.
She only knows her rapping part of every song.
- I think it's a good idea... - Make it clean.
to arrange it into a different version.
- Something sincere. - Right.
And it's autumn now.
The song might go well with the season.
It might be good to make it calm and serene.
Just like the meaning of the title, we could portray...
how much we miss the time...
with our fans on Fandora's Box.
- Those times. - That's nice.
- Memory. - Right, memory.
We could put a surprise video in the middle...
like we do during a concert.
It's got to be something like...
Something touching.
Something that includes our past memories.
- Right. - Our memories.
It could be a video of our time...
- together with the fans. - I like it.
Will it include our past footage?
No.
It has to be within the acceptable boundary.
- It needs to go through screening. - It might have just our voices...
- or our backs. - Right.
Let's go for it then.
- Okay. - All right.
MAMAMOO, MAMAMOO.
- MAMAMOO, MAMAMOO. - MAMAMOO.
- MAMAMOO. - Let's go.
- Gosh, how distracting. - Let's get it.
Let's get it.
(AOA's meeting room)
What should we do with the third competition?
Hi, Jimin.
- Jimin. - Jimin the best!
Jimin!
- Hi, guys. - Jimin.
Are you sick?
I have a cold.
- Have you been well? - Yes.
- Your voice is gone. - We're concerned.
- About what? - About what song to choose.
There's no need.
You've got me.
- But you're sick. - That makes us even more concerned.
- You were our only hope. - No.
It's true we're burdened...
- because we did great last time. - Right.
I'm very scared too.
(During the previous competition, )
(AOA's shocking change received so much attention.)
(Their "Egotistic" performance gave a new impression to people.)
My family loved the performance to begin with...
because the Internet was full of compliments about us.
My mom said she was excited like crazy.
It was aired during the Chuseok holiday.
All my family members went to bed after the show,
then I heard them watch the video in every room.
My father kept watching it too.
I guess they loved it.
My mother loved it.
And my grandma too.
They watched the previous episode together.
My grandma said she was so happy...
after watching it.
She was happy that people were commending me...
when I was going through a lot.
It's very burdensome, but still.
The third competition is...
- Fandora's Box. - Right.
It's about doing a performance for our fans.
The show has received...
some recommendations from the fans.
So many people have recommended "Boy In Luv".
- "Boy In Luv" - Why are you swaying my heart?
That's true.
- "Boy In Luv". - That made me flustered.
Among our songs, there's "Luv Me".
- "Luv Me" is nice too. - Love me, love me
Seol Hyun can't perform with us this time.
But we're...
- We can do a good job. - Cream and Jimin.
- All of a sudden? - You're right.
- We're Cream and Jimin. - Right.
There are opinions about this too.
"I'd really like to watch AOA Cream's performance again."
- "Please do it." - Well...
("I'm Jelly BABY" is a bright, funky song...)
(by Yuna, Hye Jeong, and Chanmi.)
Our "Egotistic" performance was so cool and powerful.
It received great responses,
but to do another powerful performance,
there's a limit.
And we might have to keep doing powerful performances.
It might be better to perform in a totally different style...
so that people don't compare it with our previous performance.
That's why we thought of changing the style.
There's "Hey", your solo song.
If the fans want to hear me rap,
there's a song in which I rap from the start to the end.
- Oh, I think I know what that is. - I'd rather do that song.
But one isn't enough.
- It might be lonesome alone, - Right.
so I'd like Hye Jeong to join me.
- She's rising. - She's a rising rapper these days.
- Right. - Can you do it, General Hye Jeong?
- General Hye Jeong. - Can you do it?
- It's easy, right? - It's easy.
Rapping is easy too.
I love it.
(Rapping is easy too.)
This is easy.
It's easy. I can do it.
I'll let you have her if you're really lonely to perform alone.
I'd love that. Very good. We can do it.
- Oh my goodness. - She's concerned.
Let's go for it.
- Easy, easy. We can do it. - Easy, easy. We can do it.
Let's do it.
(Lee Da Hee, Jang Sung Kyu)
(The entrance of the hosts marks the start of Fandora's Box.)
Why am I so nervous? Why is that?
Why am I nervous?
Six girl groups that represent K-pop...
are making their comeback simultaneously.
A bold competition that will settle the queens once and for all.
- The battle of comebacks, Queendom. - Queendom.
Hello, I'm Lee Da Hee, the queen of Queendom.
I'm Jang Sung Kyu, the dom of Queendom.
(It's good to see you.)
Before the finals of Queendom,
we only have the last preliminary competition left.
That's right.
The 2nd round of the 3rd preliminary competition.
Fandora's Box is waiting to be revealed.
After all the performances,
the voting will proceed.
Each member of the audience may place their votes...
on two teams whom they think performed the best.
You can't cast multiple votes for the same team.
Here is the scoring rule of the third preliminary competition.
The total score is 10,000.
There are the same number of fans from the six fandoms...
and those who won the draw in the audience.
Their votes will be 7,000 in total.
The votes of the special evaluators will be 2,000 in total.
The votes of the contestants...
will be 1,000 in total.
All these scores and the score from the first round will be combined...
to decide on the final rankings for the third preliminary round.
Sung Kyu, whom do we have for today's special evaluators?
We've invited them...
through a special process.
During the last retreat,
the six teams did a Queendom mission.
And the first-place team...
was given the right...
to choose today's special evaluators.
- That's right. - Right.
Right, the mission was about the right...
- to choose the special evaluators. - Right.
(Day of Queendom Retreat)
Guys, will you accept the Queendom Quest?
- Yes! - Yes!
(They accept it in a cute way.)
Today's Queendom Quest is...
(What is today's Queendom Quest?)
- Queendom Cushion Quiz. - Goodness.
The rule is simple.
A member from each team...
will stand by at the starting line.
They will be given the lyrics of a dance song...
which have been mixed randomly.
If they know the title of the song,
they should come out on a sitting cushion.
After they grab the mic...
and guess its title and the singer,
they should sing the lyrics with the correct choreography...
to get the question right.
- Seol Hyun should've been here. - Seol Hyun is good at it.
What bad timing.
- You will be given... - You should go.
- Please. - a total of 10 questions.
It's a perfect quest for Moonbyul.
Her passion.
(She's warming up her passion.)
- Are you getting competitive? - I am.
Your pants are red too.
Binnie, you might be good at it.
It has nothing to do with us anyway.
I better give up.
- You have to play it. - What?
Unfortunately, you have to play it alone, Bom.
I'd like a black knight.
A black knight?
This isn't a drinking occasion. You can't call for a black knight.
Please let me.
Whose help would you like?
(Who will be...)
(Bom's black knight?)
Seunghee.
(She wants Seunghee.)
(Surprised)
She can have Seunghee if OH My GIRL is okay with it.
- What do you say? - Okay.
- Okay. - All right.
You can use Seunghee as your black knight at any time, Bom.
Pick a member to solve the first question...
and send them to the starting line.
Isn't it better to sit in the center?
- You're right. - That's important.
Run out there.
Go take a seat.
- Go for it. - You can do it.
(The team representatives are ready to go.)
Please show us the first question.
(What is the first question?)
(No, Already, Oh, It's, Midnight)
(What is...)
(this?)
(Are you getting the feeling?)
(She's got it.)
(Su Jeong takes the lead.)
What's the title and the singer?
"Gotta Go" by Chung Ha.
("Gotta Go" is one of Chung Ha's hit songs.)
(Su Jeong has got the singer and the title right.)
Sing it.
(How is Su Jeong's version of the song?)
(Wave dancing)
Already midnight
(This is it.)
(Go, Su Jeong!)
(She's too lazy to go home. Is her answer correct?)
Su Jeong, correct.
(She gets it right.)
She's so good at dancing.
Oh, gosh.
I need to change players. Seunghee!
Let's change players.
- Go, Yuqi. - Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh. Aren't you a foreigner though?
Right, we've had two foreign members up so far.
(You can do it, Yuqi.)
Gosh, this question is...
Bom is not playing this time,
but this could be advantageous for her.
- What a shame. - This isn't good.
The second question.
(What is the second question about?)
Please show us.
(All, Stay, The, With, Time, Me)
(Screaming)
(Su Jeong takes the lead this time again.)
I don't know what it is.
- Seunghee. - "Eternal Love" by Fin.K.L.
("Eternal Love" is a masterpiece which everyone knows.)
Sing it.
(Stay with me)
(She's excited then suddenly feels down.)
(You're doing great, my black knight.)
(Bom's avatar is singing passionately.)
All the time
Seunghee, correct.
(Seunghee gets the question right.)
And the score goes to Bom.
Seunghee is excited as if it's for her team.
Bom is tied for the lead.
(Current score)
I didn't know.
Stay with me
It's hard.
It was too late when I figured it out.
I think we have to move quickly.
- When I figured it out... - My body didn't move.
It didn't move.
- You have to go out there first. - My body...
- Go out there first. - Think of the answer on your way.
Let's get to the third question,
and it's worth two points.
- Go, Su Jeong. - You can do it.
It's going to be hard this time. Please show us the question.
(Let's see the third question.)
(You, Step, If, Growl, Back, )
(Get, Growl, Don't, Hurt, You, Might)
(What is the answer?)
- What? - Gosh, Su Jeong.
(Her speed is on another level.)
Su Jeong, what is it?
- "Growl" by EXO. - Okay, sing it.
(What about the song and the choreography?)
(Standing up to support)
- Incorrect. - Why? Isn't it correct?
You have to sing all the lyrics shown here.
(It's this part in the song.)
Let's do it again. Ready, go.
(Sliding)
(Run, Yuqi.)
All right, Yuqi.
Yuqi raced barefoot.
- What's the answer? - What was that?
(Growl, growl, growl)
How cute.
(Growl, growl, growl)
Incorrect.
She didn't pronounce it right.
And the choreography wasn't powerful enough.
- Yuqi, go for it. - Goodness.
What's with her?
(Hwa Sa is racing at full speed.)
Hwa Sa.
She's coming slowly like a slug.
Hwa Sa.
(It's far.)
What's the answer? She moved for the first time.
(She might answer after taking a nap.)
Will she get it right?
(When will you start?)
What's the answer?
(I growl, growl, growl)
(Is this a folk song?)
(How folksy.)
Thank you for coming out, but that's incorrect.
I'm sorry, but your spirit is not enough.
Thank you for trying though.
(She's crazy.)
"Thank you for trying."
But you've come far. That was a nice start.
(Who will have a chance to get the question right?)
(Wait for me, 2 points.)
- Ready, go. - You can do it.
Two points are on the line. Su Jeong is impressive.
(They race with all their might to win 2 points.)
Su Jeong is impressive.
"Growl" by EXO.
You need to sing and dance properly.
Begin.
(Dancing powerfully)
(Growl, growl)
(If you don't step back, you might get hurt)
Su Jeong, correct.
(Lovelyz obtains 2 points.)
(Flopping)
This is it.
This spirit.
Lovelyz is on the lead.
(Lovelyz is on the lead with 3 points.)
(Current Score, Lovelyz: 3, Park Bom: 1)
Su Jeong, correct.
(Su Jeong keeps getting the questions right.)
Here comes the last question.
(What's the answer of this question?)
(Su Jeong springs forth this time again.)
Gosh, what?
Su Jeong.
(Will she get the answer right?)
Three, two, one. Incorrect.
(She gets it wrong.)
(General Hye Jeong suddenly starts going forward.)
Kim Jong Kook.
- Okay, Seunghee. - It's coming out.
- Seunghee? - Kim Jong Kook.
Kim Jong Kook's...
(Kim Jong Kook's...)
(Laughing out loud)
When did you come?
When did you come, Hye Jeong?
(Laughing)
(The members are embarrassed of her.)
- She never disappoints us. - Good job.
She's never disappointing.
(It's time to guess the question.)
- Well... - Do it.
Wait a second.
Hye Jeong, what is it?
What is the answer?
- Three... - "Lovely" by Kim Jong Kook.
Sing it now.
(The choreography is about pointing your body from head to toe...)
(and ending with a hip swing.)
Sing it now. The choreography is important too.
3, 2, 1.
(From head to toe)
(You're lovely)
(The general is dancing.)
(Chuckling)
Gosh, please.
Hye Jeong, incorrect.
No?
(Shocked)
You need to sing all the lyrics here.
All the lyrics.
Please go back.
(She sadly goes back to her place.)
I think I know.
(The ace tries out next.)
(There she goes.)
(I'm proud that you're my woman)
Su Jeong, correct.
(Su Jeong gets it right again.)
(We're in 1st place!)
(Lovelyz is the final winner.)
(They get the right to choose the special evaluators.)
We must make a choice in our favor.
They might be a little young.
- I like this. - Yes.
(They're done making a decision after thinking hard.)
- This. - I think that's better.
(Who are the special evaluators chosen by Lovelyz?)
Who are the special evaluators...
for today?
Lovelyz placed first...
at the Queendom Quest.
- Right. - As the special evaluators...
of Fandora's Box...
- Who are they? - Lovelyz placed first.
Maybe it's their mothers.
(What's their identity?)
They're the members...
- of a housewife singing class. - Welcome them with a big hand.
Please give them a big hand.
(It's good to see you.)
- Goodness. - They're so cute.
(Surprised)
Oh, gosh.
How cute!
- They are middle-aged ladies. - In this case...
- They... - They're shaking...
those neon sticks like this.
I know.
It's somewhat heartwarming.
- They're like my mom. - I know, right?
- I suddenly miss my mom. - Me too.
Dear ladies,
please do an objective and cold-hearted evaluation today.
Go for it.
They're so cute.
- I wonder what they will like. - I know.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Let's begin the second round...
of the third preliminary competition.
Who's running the show?
- Queendom. - Queendom.
(Queendom)
It's finally starting.
- This is driving me crazy. - I know.
(It's time to be serious...)
(and pour their everything.)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
In the 2nd round of the 3rd preliminary competition,
the contestants will perform with the songs recommended by their fans.
(Fandora's Box)
It's Fandora's Box.
Today's performance is very meaningful...
because the fans were able to participate...
in choosing the song for the most important part of the competition.
((G)I-DLE)
((G)I-DLE is up first for this round.)
I was excited rather than nervous this time.
I was very excited to see...
how the audience would react...
when we showed this cool performance.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Special performances which can be seen...
only on Queendom.
Let me reveal the first group.
It's starting.
I can't believe this day has come again. I'm getting goosebumps.
This day has come again.
It feels a bit unfamiliar that we aren't the first ones up.
- I know. - Right.
I feel like I've already performed.
Me too. I feel the same.
I wonder what they will perform.
I saw a few ghosts earlier.
Did I see it wrong?
- Maybe you saw real ghosts. - I guess.
Their eyes change the moment music is played.
They're the youngest team of Queendom.
(G)I-DLE.
(They come up to the stage barefoot in red mini dresses.)
(Confident)
- (G)I-DLE. - That's it.
- Goodness. - Go, Soojin.
- (G)I-DLE. - Smash the stage, Soojin.
- What? - They're barefoot.
It feels like white dresses...
- covered with blood. - That's somewhat unexpected.
They're barefoot.
They might do something.
(G)I-DLE in bare feet.
Let us greet you. 1, 2.
- Hello, we're (G)I-DLE. - Hello, we're (G)I-DLE.
All right.
- Hello. - It's good to see you, guys.
- Hello. - Good to see you.
I'm sorry, but you seem to have lost all your shoes.
To dance passionately,
we've come without any shoes on.
What is the concept of your performance...
that you're barefoot?
We're going to express anger within sadness...
through this performance.
((G)I-DLE always makes the audience curious.)
Anger within sadness.
- There's something I want to do. - Well...
I want to perform barefoot at least once on Queendom.
- That's nice. - And wear an outfit...
that doesn't go well with bare feet.
Something that doesn't match?
It seems strange...
and doesn't get along, but somewhat...
I'm up for it.
We're so sad that we've gone crazy.
- Crazy? - Yes, crazy.
I think (G)I-DLE is a group that challenges prejudices.
I'd like to break the prejudice...
that a dress has to be worn with heels...
and perform barefoot.
Our concept is very dark this time.
- Right. - Yes.
It isn't just dark.
It's insanely dark.
Let's express what we think about this concept...
- The dark concept. - by drawing.
- Okay. - Someone...
- will join us later. - Really?
This person will make us a scene stealer.
- Goodness. - When they come,
let's ask for their advice.
Okay.
(They wish to express deep sorrow on stage.)
(They try to shape up the ideas in their heads.)
We've all used the same colors.
- Well... - We...
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello, it's good to see you.
One, two.
- Hello, we're (G)I-DLE. - Hello, we're (G)I-DLE.
Hello, guys.
I'm beauty creator, SSIN.
We'd like to decide on the concept of our looks.
We've drawn some of our ideas.
The song was arranged in a scary way.
It's about a woman who has gone crazy.
And I've expressed her craziness here.
She's barefoot.
She's in a dress,
but it's covered with blood.
I've drawn a bruised heart.
I chose...
red eyeshadow and red lips.
It seems like the concept is very dark...
- in general. - Right.
- Right. - Okay.
Let's start with the makeup.
(They start with the makeup lesson to express anger in sadness.)
What's in front of you on the table?
- It caught my attention. - Goodness.
It's crazy.
Oh, my gosh. It's so shiny.
- Glitter eyeshadow. - My love.
I like this.
- The red color. - Our concept.
- What is this? - It's so red.
(They take a look at each item carefully.)
Let's start with the lesson now.
The key point of this makeup is eyes.
Eyes and lips.
With a reddish, dark makeup,
this glitter eyeshadow might go very well with it.
I'll express darkness...
in a sophisticated and glittery way.
It's a pink tone...
that goes well with red.
(Bling-bling)
I will add a bit of redness at a time.
It's becoming redder.
The lip color is important.
There are many lip colors inside the box.
There is this!
If you match red lipstick,
it will be the most intense red...
in the overall look.
She looks like a vampire in tears.
Now, it's your turn.
- Yes! - What am I going to do?
- What am I going to do? - Put on some makeup.
It's so shiny.
- It's really pretty. - What kind of color is that?
(After a short makeup tutorial, (G)I-DLE puts on some makeup.)
(Glittery)
(From the stage concept to the makeup look)
- This is incredible. It added... - You look cool.
- to your prettiness. - Really?
(They prepare thoroughly to recover...)
It's very pigmented.
It's incredible, right?
(from placing 6th in the 2nd competition.)
(The performance that expresses the rage inside sadness will start.)
Please give us your words of resolution.
We prepared thoroughly to give a good performance.
With the opening performance,
we will catch you eyes... You eyes?
We will catch your eyes.
We will rip the stage apart.
All right.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
(G)I-DLE's performance starts now.
Who's running the show?
- (G)I-DLE! - (G)I-DLE!
((G)I-DLE!)
- (G)I-DLE! - (G)I-DLE!
(OH MY GIRL is full of good cheer.)
(Wow)
Gosh, I don't know why I am getting nervous.
I am about to go crazy from nervousness.
(The 2nd round will begin with (G)I-DLE's performance.)
(Everyone is nervous.)
I bet (G)I-DLE...
- I bet they prepared thoroughly. - I can't wait to see it.
I bet they gritted their teeth.
I can't wait to see the performance.
(G)I-DLE always challenges itself.
We want to show everyone that...
a ballad song can be powerful with the right arrangement.
We also want to show that...
there can be a group which expresses rage.
I want people to say, "I got goosebumps."
I want people to be scared.
"What is this? This is insane!"
I want people to think that.
("Say No (Nightmare Version)" by (G)I-DLE)
That's cool.
My goodness.
(Screaming)
(My goodness!)
They are cool.
I am getting goosebumps!
(They can't take their eyes off of (G)I-DLE's performance.)
- My goodness! - What did she do?
She rubbed off her lipstick.
(My goodness.)
What?
(It's an eye-catching performance.)
(My goodness.)
That's incredible.
It was like a musical. No, a music video.
- It was like a music video. - Seriously.
I know. My goodness.
(It was the perfect performance.)
It was one of the best performances.
They are really good.
That was insane.
- That was incredible. - They are really good.
My goodness.
I am intimidated.
I am speechless right now.
We watched so intently.
Gosh, it was incredible.
(OH MY GIRL returns to reality.)
If you respect them, raise your hand.
- Respect! - Respect!
They are so good.
There was madness.
- You are right. - There was madness.
I want to give (G)I-DLE a round of applause.
They did an amazing job.
They have well-known title songs,
so I didn't know much about other songs in their albums.
I think the performance...
definitely made me aware.
Their acting skills on stage...
Actors aren't the only people who act.
Singers act on the stage as well...
to deliver the emotions inside the song.
They delivered them so well.
- It's done! - It was cool.
- Get your shoes. - Watch your head.
We did an amazing job.
- It was insane. - Did my lipstick smudge nicely?
((G)I-DLE finished the performance on a happy note.)
Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
It was really cool.
Let's take a group photo.
(The dance team is professional until the very end.)
- My goodness. - Take a photo.
1, 2, 3.
((G)I-DLE reached the top once again.)
I feel like the burden has been lifted.
I am in a good mood.
This time, I really...
enjoyed the stage.
I am really happy that I have no regrets about the performance.
Let's go.
(MAMAMOO)
(MAMAMOO is nervous.)
(The atmosphere is different from the last competition.)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Let me introduce the second performer.
This group always gives the best performances on Queendom.
Whenever this group's performance ends,
people call them...
"The Great MAMAMOO". This is MAMAMOO.
(The Great MAMAMOO! MAMAMOO!)
In 2, 3. I say,
- MAMA, MAMA, MOO - MAMA, MAMA, MOO
- Hello, we are MAMAMOO. - Hello, we are MAMAMOO.
In the last competition, you gave us a mini-concert with four charms.
What should we focus on this time?
After much thought,
we prepared a performance that will let us communicate...
with our fans.
We prepared "I Miss You"...
for this round.
During the rehearsal,
my heart swelled...
with emotions.
There is something we prepared for the performance.
I hope the audience will feel the same as I did.
We will look forward to it.
The song we prepared to perform is...
"I Miss You".
It's a ballad song.
(MAMAMOO's rehearsal a few hours ago)
(All the lights go out)
(The clips from the past come on, )
(and MAMAMOO members watch.)
Our dark past.
- Clips from our trainee days. - That's right.
There are also clips from the days we debuted...
and received a lot of love.
That makes me sad.
- Are you crying? - I almost cried.
I changed the lyrics here and there.
I wrote the rap again.
I wrote about how I miss the time I will spend...
with the fans.
I became emotional as I wrote those lyrics.
On a starry night
Always
You, you, you
This performance requires us...
- to really use our vocal cords. - That's right.
Each member's vocal cords...
need to do their job right.
That's why she is covering her throat.
I am protecting my vocal cords.
All three of them have high notes.
- They need to belt out the song. - I have it easier.
I only need to hit the high note at the end. But the two of them...
We did the unit performances, so sacrifice your vocal cords.
(Sacrifice your vocal cords.)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
MAMAMOO's performance begins now.
Who's running the show?
- MAMAMOO! - MAMAMOO!
You will be able to see to our transformative, new,
and sentimental side.
To be honest, this performance is...
more difficult and nerve-wracking than the others.
So that our sincerity reaches our fans...
without a problem,
we will give our best on the stage.
- 1, 2, 3. Let's go! - Let's go!
(MAMAMOO, let's go!)
It's starting.
It's starting. The TV... Oh, it's working.
Look over here! It's a video.
It's from their trainee days!
(Missing...)
(you, me, and us of tomorrow)
MAMAMOO, let's go!
I got goosebumps.
- Their fans would love it. - MAMAMOO, let's go!
MAMAMOO, let's go!
("I Miss You" by MAMAMOO)
(She gets goosebumps.)
I love it.
Gosh, her voice! I don't know what to do.
- What is it? - What is it?
Something is coming.
Have you heard of MAMAMOO?
- MooMoo! - MooMoo.
- MooMoo. - MooMoo.
- MooMoo! - MooMoo.
- MooMoo. - MooMoo.
Let's go MAMAMOO!
(They can only clap.)
It was a performance for the fans.
It was Fandora's Box.
(They are on the verge of tears.)
I thought to myself, "MAMAMOO is the best."
When they played the clips from their trainee days,
it was very touching.
It took me on a trip down memory lane.
It was a performance that made me thoughtful and sentimental.
I thought it was very cool.
(Bom watched the performance alone.)
(Tearing up)
My heart ached.
As the clips of their trainee days played on the screen,
the members turned around and watched.
It was very touching.
(My goodness.)
It's so touching.
MAMAMOO...
commanded the stage with their voices.
Watching the performance made me remember my trainee days...
and the path I walked with my fans.
I was really absorbed in the performance.
(They thanked the fans and each other...)
(through their performance of "I Miss You".)
Thank you.
Our fans were in front of us.
Seeing them made me emotional,
so I had to avert my eyes.
Because I changed the lyrics for the fans,
I became emotional.
Instead of looking at the fans,
I thought about them as I sang.
I couldn't look at them.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Let's check out...
the third performer of Fandora's Box.
Let's do this.
- Easy, easy. We can do it. - Easy, easy. We can do it.
Let's go.
- We will be back. - Let's go.
Let's go.
(They root for themselves as they go to the stage.)
- Easy, easy. We can do it. - Easy, easy. We can do it.
With their unrivaled charisma,
this group made a trending keyword during the last contest.
Ace of Angels, AOA.
(Make more noise!)
- In 2, 3. Hello. - Hello.
- We are Ace of Angels, AOA. - We are Ace of Angels, AOA.
Hello.
AOA, it's good to have you here.
You look very lovely today.
What could be the concept for the costumes, Jimin?
Each member wore...
a color that represents her.
- Really? - Yes.
Is there a color assigned to each member?
We decided on it this time.
Jimin, you are the emerald color.
No, I am the tree color.
(If Jimin says so, so be it.)
"I'm the tree."
(She loves the reaction.)
(The tree of AOA who commands the stage.)
(Satisfied)
A lot of people must be asking the same question.
I don't see Seol Hyun.
She couldn't join the shoot due to her schedule.
Seol Hyun is very sorry...
and regretful.
We will take the stage together...
for the next competition, so look forward to it.
All right.
Please vote for number three.
- All right. - Thank you.
Let's continue on with this atmosphere.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
AOA's performance will begin now.
Who's running the show?
- AOA! - AOA!
(2 weeks before the 3rd preliminary competition)
This song by AOA CREAM was...
- To be honest... - How old were we?
- AOA CREAM. - How old was I?
(AOA's lovely sub-unit, AOA CREAM, )
(consisted of Yuna, Hye Jeong, and Chanmi.)
I only remember this dance move.
Was I 21 years old?
I think it was three years ago.
This is cute.
- My hairstyle back then... - That came out of nowhere.
- Did you want to do the dance? - I bleached my hair back then.
- Then it has never been the same. - I know.
- You had pink hair. - Yes.
Let's try the chorus.
- Shall we lip-sync? - Shall we do that?
Not one dance move is the same.
Everything changed from the beginning to the end.
(They struggle from the start.)
We aren't in sync from "I'm jelly."
Okay.
Are you doing this or this?
- This. - Yuna is doing this.
- How about you, Hye Jeong? - This.
I was doing this.
- Then I will do this. - Okay.
Are we going to put our hands on the waist?
- I am not doing it. - I am not doing it either.
(AOA follows the majority decision.)
We follow the majority decision.
We are pacifists.
(We are pacifists.)
(AOA is peaceful today.)
That's good.
This is more convenient than putting the hand back, right?
- I was doing this. - I was doing this.
Then I will change.
We follow the majority decision.
It's harder to change the majority.
It's better to change one person.
1, 2, 3, 4.
- I am exhausted. - No!
Yuna!
A lot of people don't know about AOA CREAM,
so it's nice to sing the sub-unit's song on Queendom.
Shall we sing?
(Weren't they struggling just now?)
(They begin to perfect the group dance.)
(Flapping)
(Hye Jeong can't hide her funny side.)
- That's good. - That's good.
- We are in sync. - That's good.
(Hye Jeong practices the arm movement she got wrong.)
- Why do I keep running like this? - Hye Jeong.
I guess you usually run like this.
I know.
(She shows her silly side.)
(While AOA CREAM perfects their chemistry, )
(this member is immersed in rock spirit.)
I will give "Time 4 Sum Action"...
and "Puss" a rock twist...
and perform it with a band.
Ever since I was little,
I wanted to be a rocker.
(I wanted to be a rocker.)
Queendom is making my dream come true.
(The warmup song is "Rooftop" by N.Flying.)
It's a beautiful song.
(She becomes cheerful.)
Although it's a war between girl groups,
we need a bit of spice.
We need to show our harmony.
(With whom will Jimin show an incredible harmony?)
The ranking? We placed 3rd and 4th...
the last time.
Since there are four contests,
it's my goal to place the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st...
so that we can have a comeback.
I am not worried.
I simply wish our fans will like the performance.
"AOA has a variety of charms."
I hope they will think that...
and look kindly upon us.
(It will continue shortly.)
("I'm Jelly BABY" by AOA)
Chanmi!
It's AOA CREAM!
Is it "I'm Jelly BABY"?
It's a cute concept, but they are very sexy.
Cute and sexy.
This is so refreshing.
- They're so beautiful. - Right.
I feel like mothers would love this stage.
("T4SA and PUSS" by AOA)
Here comes the band performance.
What's that?
She can be anything and everything!
I'm so jealous of you.
(Lee Seung Hyub)
He's from N.Flying.
(Jimin's surprise is Seung Hyub of N.Flying.)
My goodness.
This is it!
(Screaming in excitement)
This is a masterpiece.
This is like a "Show Me the Money" kind of performance.
Puss puss
I really feel like I just watched a concert.
That was so awesome.
- Swag. - She's good at competitions.
(I'm in love.)
(AOA pulled off two very contrasting performances.)
Thank you.
- Great job! - Good job.
You're so cool.
It's just you guys who think so.
(Jimin turns into a baby when she's with her teammates.)
I'm sure everybody was impressed by your performance.
It was great to see such a cheerful performance by AOA.
It was refreshing.
AOA is truly full of charms.
It was truly a performance...
that showed everything that their fans would like to see.
It's the last round.
I'm going to give it all.
I want to show people that Lovelyz can do really well.
Our goal is to show people...
that we're above and beyond their expectations.
We'll now announce...
the results for Queendom's final round.
Our goal is to place first, always.
I feel like our performance was quite legendary,
so I expect us to win.
I hope I win.
I think we'll be able to place first.
The winning group, who will take 15,000 points...
from the last round is...
No way.
