So that we can wear the crown.
I want to make it my best performance.
I want it to be cooler, to show the real side of OH MY GIRL.

Who's running the show?
- Queendom! - Queendom!
(June 2019, the first meeting with Queendom)
"The battle of comebacks, Queendom."
- Oh my goodness. - Queendom!
"A battle of 6 girl groups that are simultaneously making a comeback."
- Are we competing? - What's this?
We have to compete and win, right?
All the groups are making their comebacks simultaneously.
Really?
- Really? - All six teams?
We've never had girl groups compete one another.
This is war.
This sounds terrifying.
- I hate it. - I hate competition.
I enjoy things like this.
None of you have been in a competition before.
- No. - Not at all.
It'll be fun.
"No avoiding competitions between girl groups anymore."
"Facing each other,"
"we'll find out the real girls on top."

Now, I introduce to you, the first performers...
of the final round on Queendom, the battle of comebacks.
With charisma that can't be imitated by anyone else...
and hilarious personalities,
these five angels have made Queendom complete.
I've been wanting to introduce them like this forever.
Ace of Queendom, AOA.
(AOA's agency)
How was our last preliminary competition?
What is there to say?
We failed.
You were all really great.
You weren't even there.
You did great!
I was watching you guys from afar.
Hye Jeong and Chanmi...
- worked really hard. - We failed.
- You worked hard. - What does that do?
- We failed. - We all...
- No, you didn't. - We failed.
- It's not important. - Why do you think you failed?
We got sixth place.
Rankings don't matter.
We promised that we won't care about the ranks.
And I mean it,
your performance reminded everyone...
- how great of a dancer you are. - That's right.
I realized that you're even more amazing at dance...
than I thought you were.
Why are you stammering?
It's because she's lying.
(Is she stammering because she's lying?)
I can only speak without stammering when I'm lying.
That's true.
That's actually true.
We're up first for the finals.
- That's right. - Amazing.
We've been wanting to go first ever since the start.
I always wanted to go first.
- Me too, because... - I'm really worried.
(Why...)
(are you worried?)
What if the audience can't see the other teams because we're so good?
(Laughing)
That's exactly why I wanted us to go first.
(I knew you were on the same page with me.)
I want the audience to forget about every other performer.
Apparently, Soojin said...
that their song is legendary.
Apparently the song is incredible.
- I'm worried. - They're determined to win.
They think they'll be legendary,
but they won't feel like that after watching our performance.
Seol Hyun!
Have you forgotten what Queendom is like after missing one round?
We lost the last competition!
You should've tasted the bitter loss last competition.
I think you've forgotten what Queendom is like.
Forget it.
This is the finals.
- Let's do our best. - We got to do what we want,
so let's actually fight...
- for the finals. - I thought about...
the final round.
I recently watched a movie...
called "Bandidas".
It's about bank robbers in Western America.
It has a cowgirl theme...
with the hats...
and the handkerchiefs tied around their necks.
They're wearing nude-toned makeup as well.
I thought it'd be nice...
to pull off that theme for our last performance.
We can make the song sound more like this.
How do I describe this?
(You know what I mean, right?)
The Western American feel.
(They're getting more and more excited.)
We can feature running horses.
And we have a special weapon...
- that Jimin and I came up with. - Right.
Chanmi has to do it.
(Me?)
Think of all the action crews that we've worked with.
Amongst all of them, choose one that can...
work with us the best, who will incorporate actions...
into our performance perfectly,
in a cool way.
- Is that what you thought of? - Yes, it's your turn now.
All right.
You can start attending action school from tomorrow.
Go and sacrifice yourself.
- Quest accepted. - All right.
(Chanmi actually attended an action school for the finals.)
(Chanmi's practices make us all the more curious.)
I have to do well.
I asked them to make the fanciest routine they can.
I told them to not think about what my limits are...
and not think about how good...
a first-timer can be.
I promised them that if they make a fancy routine,
I'll work hard and make it perfect.
I'm going to show my best.
(AOA is practicing late into the night for the finals.)
(Watch General Hye Jeong.)
(General Hye Jeong keeps lagging behind.)
(Is she broken?)
- We end off here, right? - Yes.
Because we placed sixth in the last competition,
we made our choreography fancier and powerful this time.
Thanks to that, my entire body hurts.
(She tries to focus and get back to dancing again,)
(but she's struggling.)
Keep pulling.
(The choreography for the finals has a lot of powerful moves.)
(Jimin is watching from the back, waiting for her part.)
You're all doing so well. You're doing great.
Everyone,
- you're the best. I love you. - Jimin!
(Screaming)
I thought you were going to dance with us.
You can be the dancing machine.
- Please play the dance break part. - Dance break.
How many times are we going to repeat this part?
Three times.
- 3 times? - 3 times.
(Repeating the dance break three times in a row)
Jimin!
You're so mean, you're not even dancing for this part.
If you get it all right in three tries,
we can stop then,
but whoever gets it wrong has to do it by themselves.
Yes, you have to repeat it alone twice if you get it wrong.
- You better watch out. - Jimin!
- I'm watching you. - I'm watching you.
Hye Jeong, I'm watching you.
Let's see who will win.
(AOA is getting back to practicing and going through each step.)
(Adding shouts)
Okay!
(How will Hye Jeong do?)
(She got it wrong.)
(She looks as if she just lost in a war.)
Hye Jeong has to do it by herself.
Put the music on, I'm going to do it alone.
Do it.
(She's giving it another try.)
(They have a lot of love for each other.)
- This part isn't working. - Go through it slowly.
Start.
- Go again. - She's broken.
I'm broken. Hold on.
You can do it, just slow down.
- Hye Jeong! - Relax and take it slow.
(Sending playful signals)
- You're doing great. - Look at her.
Fight me!
Sure.
I'll beat you any day.
I'm so tired.
(Practicing it over and over again made them synchronized.)
Nice!
(General Hye Jeong has become floppy like seaweed.)
I'm done.
Let's do the 1st and 2nd verses,
do the 3rd verse...
and go again from the top?
From the top?
(Did you just say, from the top?)
(Panting)
It's not like we're going to perform in parts.
(AOA is practicing even harder than they did before.)
I think we're investing in more energy on the finals...
than we did for the 1st 3 performances combined.
You should look forward to it.
It's our last performance,
so we're really giving it all.
It's our last time.
We're going to enjoy it.
And since it's a live show,
we have to make sure we don't mess up.
If things go...
as I imagine it in my head,
then I'm confident about our performance.
Everyone should get ready.
Please support us.
- You're the best! - Good luck, AOA!
("Sorry" by AOA)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
That was AOA,
opening our finals.
- Soyeon, - Yes?
what did you think of that?
AOA showed a new side of themselves...
with every performance.
What they showed us today suit them so well.
In particular, I was very impressed by the battling part.
Right, that was cool.
And Minnie,
you worked with Hye Jeong in the vocal unit, AI.
Yes I did!
Why don't you send a video greetings...
to Hye Jeong, showing support for her performance?
Hye Jeong, why are you so cool?
I almost fell in love with you.
We really enjoyed...
your incredible performance.
You're the best! AI is the best!
Thank you.
And Yuqi, how did you find the performance?
Was it how you imagined it to be when you first listened to it?
You know how...
- the song is called "Sorry"? - Yes.
I think I know why after watching the performance.
- What is it? - They were up first,
it's like they're telling us that they'll do their best,
and we have to top that after.
They're apologizing for being so cool.
You're all so cool!
You're the best.
All right.
We have vote counters counting...
the votes sent through texts.
Thank you, AOA, for your performance.
Let's move onto the next performance now.
Da Hee, take us away.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
I will now introduce the second team to perform.
From vocals to performance,
on Queendom, this group has shown all their individual charms,
as well as their dramatic growth.
They're lovelier than the word lovely itself.
Here comes Queendom's official cuties,
Lovelyz.
(Lovelyz' agency)
Everyone, we ranked third!
(Touched)
We're going higher and higher.
We only have the final performance left now.
Time flies, indeed.
Queendom was such a nice experience.
We got to try a lot of new things,
- Right. - including cute stuff.
I think it's good because we got to know...
about what kind of image people have towards us through this.
What song do you want to perform?
I want to do something like "Now, We".
- That's a good idea. - I'd feel like...
I go well with the song as I perform.
- That's right. - That'd make me confident.
- Right. - What about "That Day"?
"That Day" is nice.
(Dancing)
It's exciting from the start.
It's exciting just to hear it.
I personally want us to do something...
emotional and sorrowful...
which we've always done.
I want it to be strong.
- Not just being in a minor key, - I agree.
- but intense. - Right.
There comes Babysoul.
Kei is here too.
Hi.
- Goodness. - Hi.
- Goodness. - What are you hiding behind you?
Something you like the most.
(What is it?)
We brought something you want the most.
What is it?
Our final...
(Our final...)
Our final performance song.
(It finally came.)
What song is it?
It's something we've never done after our debut.
- Let us hear it. - I'll play the song.
(What will the song be like?)
It's new even from the prelude.
Gosh.
(Surprised)
It's tricky.
(The choreography is out already.)
We've already got the concept.
It's very new.
- I know, right? - Totally.
It sounds Mexican.
- Hola. - It reminds me of nachos.
(Their emotions show through their faces.)
It might bring nice reactions.
- It's not bad. - I like it.
I like its vibe.
Me too.
- It reminds me of roses. - Right.
- Passion. - Like tango.
It's very passionate.
It was completely different...
from the songs we'd performed, so it sounded unfamiliar,
but the song was so nice.
I thought it'd be nice to perform it in Lovelyz's style.
I'm quite excited right now.
We have to perform this song, right?
What kind of concept do you think we should choose?
Here's what I think.
Like "Full Moon" by SUNMI,
we could wear outfits made with feathers.
How about rumpled outfits...
that don't feel so formal?
I want something intense in the beginning.
What if we dance with a mask?
The song is strong,
so it'd be good if we dress up in white,
but in a new style.
- Not feminine dresses? - No.
I was reminded of a light long skirt...
like what modern dancers wear.
- Me too. - You know in modern dance,
it's important to show your body line.
Something like that.
Let's make choreography in which we can make use of a skirt then.
That might be cool.
Like dancing barefoot.
- Right. - Completely about our body line.
Since it's the final performance...
We've become a little more serious about the stage.
I felt like we needed to fill the performance with a lot of stuff,
so I kept thinking about it and coming up with new ideas.
- Let's go for it. - We can do it.
We're doing a great job.
We went up by three ranks. It's nothing easy at all.
- Let's work hard until the end. - We can do it.
The final round of Queendom.
- Lovelyz, let's go. - Lovelyz, let's go.
(They start practicing after the meeting.)
(As they discussed, the choreography is mainly about their body line.)
There you go.
- Five. - Does my hand go like this?
- Right. - It's here, not here, right?
- Yes. - Like this.
- Goodness, it hurts. - Go down.
And 1, 2.
(They have to move a lot of their knees in the next move.)
5, 6. Good.
8. 1, 2.
(They try again.)
(Groaning)
5, 6. Stand up right away.
It hurts.
(Gosh, it hurts.)
(They try to smile.)
It hurts.
(They repeat the knee movement...)
(until they perfect it.)
8. 1, 2.
3 and 4.
5, 6. Good.
(The practice studio is filled with the sounds of their groans.)
Gosh, my knees.
- Did anyone get a bruise? - Me.
- Really? - I got a bruise.
- I think we have to wear stockings. - Gosh, I got one too.
We can do it.
(Lovelyz puts their pain aside and focuses on practicing again.)
(They're passionate about the final performance.)
(They continue to practice for a long time.)
We had a performance that we wanted to show this time.
That's why we practiced even harder.
(What's the final performance prepared by Lovelyz?)
After racing hard, we only have the final performance left now.
We'll do our best...
to show everything we can.
We, Lovelyz, are going up step by step through Queendom.
I just want our sincerity to be conveyed.
Our desperate sincerity towards the stage.
("Moonlight" by Lovelyz)
(Delight)
Thank you Lovelyz for your wonderful performance.
MAMAMOO watched their performance closely.
I'll have a short talk with them.
- Hwa Sa. - Yes?
You have something with you.
What is that? It seems like gimbap.
Right, it's gimbap.
Kei, now that Queendom is almost at the end,
why don't we go have gimbap?
You're the dove of Queendom indeed.
Moonbyul.
As the leader of Six Puzzles,
how did you like Lovelyz' comeback performance?
This performance taught us...
new sides of Lovelyz once again.
I really enjoyed it as their fan.
You're holding their cheer stick too.
And Solar.
- Yes? - How did you like it?
It was crazy.
It was crazy?
It was crazy and stunning.
Their performance was so cool.
I was so surprised.
- You're that impressed. - Yes.
Wheein?
I thought, "It's over."
"It's crazy. It's over."
- I see. - It was incredible.
It was incredible. Good.
That's the highest compliment you could make.
Dear viewers,
I wonder if you're participating in the text voting.
Let me remind you of the number once again.
It's sharp 0011. Send a text...
to sharp 0011. Thank you so much.
Now it's time for the next performance.
Da Hee, come on.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
The final comeback performances are taking place live.
As the atmosphere is getting hotter,
I'll introduce you to the third group.
The moment she starts performing in every round,
we had a fascinating experience...
where the air seemed to stop as her voice resonated deeply.
All her performances on Queendom...
have been legendary. She's Park Bom.
It's the first time to have this many of us have gathered...
since the beginning of Queendom.
Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.
Let's work hard for a wonderful performance.
All right.
Why don't we listen to the song first?
- Okay. - Sounds good.
(The agency members...)
(listen to the song together first.)
"Wanna Go Back".
It's the song for my final performance.
This is about the past days.
How my past was like...
and how I can't go back.
Even though I long for those days sometimes,
I'll stand proudly on stage alone and do well.
This is also a song for myself...
for going through all those things in my life.
I want to send this message to people...
through my last performance on Queendom.
(How will they react to the song?)
It's great.
(Admiring)
What do you think?
- I love it. - Really?
- Do you mean it? - I got goosebumps.
- Really? - It's nice.
- Is it? - Yes.
You did a great job expressing the song.
This song feels like an ending,
so I thought this would go well with the final performance.
How do you think the performance should be?
We've thought of various concepts.
How about you talking with the past you?
Having a talk with the past you,
the present you, and the future you.
(Thinking hard)
Should we place a big mirror on the stage?
Loosely.
I think that's a great idea.
It's the most direct way...
to see yourself.
Your face expressions are important for this performance.
How do you want me to do?
(He's suddenly flustered.)
- Give me some examples. - Right.
I need examples.
How do you want me to do?
Be determined.
- I see. - Strong.
As the performance goes to the end,
I hope you become more and more confident.
(She doesn't want to miss any of their opinions.)
I hope your last performance...
is unrivaled.
It'd be nice if it gets more splendid and flashier...
in the later part of the performance.
I want people to think "She's never disappointing,"
at the end of the performance.
That's what I think.
(Her manager has given her the sincere advice.)
You're the best.
Thank you all in advance.
- Park Bom. - Go for it.
There were happy moments in my life.
There were unbearable moments too.
I want to share my story...
through the performance.
Unlike the others,
this one is going to be quite special.
Please look forward to it.
(And...)
What is this?
(Bom is suddenly summoned to the company at night.)
(Is there a blackout?)
What? What is this?
- Bom. - Bom.
- Good work. - Good work.
(Bom always performed alone on the Queendom stage.)
- You can do it. - You can do it.
(Her agency members have prepared a surprise video message for her.)
Hi, Bom.
Throughout the program,
you went through so much.
Hi, Bom.
I was worried about you at first...
because you were alone when the others were groups.
Watching you from behind, I had a lot of concerns.
But thank you so much for your hard work.
I hope you put a nice end to it regardless of the rankings.
(A new message has arrived.)
What's up? We're 2NE1.
(A message of support from Minzy, the youngest member of 2NE1)
I haven't shouted this battle cry for such a long time.
Bom, are you surprised?
This is Minzy.
(Bom, are you surprised? This is Minzy.)
(She bursts out crying at an unexpected cheer.)
You only have the final round of Queendom left.
Watching you...
and our juniors perform,
I was reminded of our past days...
and our fans whom we shared times together.
I miss those days so much.
You've done such a great job.
Seeing you work hard alone,
I'm so proud of you as the member of 2NE1.
Don't cry.
Since it's the last performance,
I hope you do a wonderful job.
Go for it, Bom!
(Bom, I'm cheering for you.)
I'm so grateful.
It gave me so much strength.
The staff members worked very hard for me.
I'm so grateful,
and I'll do my best...
to put a nice end to it.
Let's go.
("Wanna Go Back" by Park Bom)
Park Bom's splendid performance.
I really enjoyed it.
It's time to ask for opinions again.
- Hyo Jung. - Yes?
You look a bit sad right now.
How did you like her performance?
She's okay. She can answer.
This is all I have to say.
Park Bom is the best!
I see.
She's more than enough.
It was so touching...
to watch her perform live.
I actually love listening to this song,
but it's even cooler to hear it live.
That's right. This time, I'll ask Seunghee,
who was Bom's avatar...
during the workshop.
How did you like it?
It was so touching to begin with.
Right, I was moved to tears as I was watching her performance.
She started performing after the video was played,
and she choked with emotion.
That touched my heart.
She's the best.
- I see. - The best.
Let me ask Soyeon about her opinion too.
How did you like it?
She always fills the stage all alone.
I respect her so much for it.
And I'm grateful that I watched such a touching performance.
Good.
I bet everyone is feeling the same.
Let's move onto the next performance.
- Seunghee. - Yes?
Why don't you say the line?
Okay.
- Da Hee, come on. - Come on!
No, no, no.
- What? - It's time for commercials.
Commercials, come on.
What...
(AOA is full of unexpected charms.)
Thinking about AOA in general,
they're totally unexpected.
I thought they'd be haughty.
I thought they'd be scary.
They're not easy, but friendly.
They're totally different from how I expected.
They're easygoing.
Jimin.
"We don't dwell on rankings."
I like how they're so clingy.
When I said, "I'm the tree."
She followed, "I'm the tree."
She's so cute.
She's so lovely,
but when she raps...
She has this aura of a rapper.
She's so cool. It makes me fall for her even more.
Hye Jeong has unexpected charms.
"It's easy."
"I can do it."
"It's easy. I can do it."
She's cute.
She's so funny.
She's so charming.
I've become her fan too.
(AOA has a vibe which comes out from their experience.)
They are pearls.
A treasure.
Energetic.
They're so relaxed.
They're full of charisma.
They're refreshing.
They have to many things to learn from.
They aren't just short-term artists.
I want to keep seeing them.
They've shown a lot of their new charms.
I thought...
there's a reason for their long-time career.
(Lovelyz are the insiders of all insiders.)
The Lovelyz members are all insiders.
The Lovelyz members are the insiders of Queendom.
They're girlish.
I thought they'd be haughty.
But...
they were unbelievable.
They approached me first and took care of me.
They talked to me first.
They don't shy away from approaching people.
You can tell by just looking at Kei.
They took care of me like I was their younger sister.
They felt like friends I've known for a long time...
whom I met up with...
after being separated briefly.
(Lovelyz is the beginning of changes.)
They have charms like chameleons.
New sides. Changes.
It's very hard to break one's image,
but they tried out to show new sides of theirs,
and I think it's never easy for any singers.
They're so brave.
I thought...
it was cool...
when they made such a difficult attempt.
I personally thought they were the coolest.
They have various charms.
It seemed like they took a step forward.
(Park Bom is a legend.)
Bom is...
Gosh, it's a bit cringy.
She's a legend.
She was my idol.
She's my idol.
It's an honor to be do a program with her like this.
She has such a special aura...
which no one can follow.
It's so impressive that she fills the stage all alone.
I can't explain.
Her performances give me goosebumps.
She's like an intangible cultural asset.
You know what I mean?
She feels like that.
(Park Bom is like an older sister.)
Bom is like my older sister.
Bom.
She's a great senior,
so I thought she'd be hard to talk to.
She's friendly like a woman next door.
She's warm-hearted.
She's girly.
She's so cute.
She's like a baby.
She cares about us and adores us.
Through Queendom,
we've become good friends like real sisters.
She's like a gift to me.
(She's like a gift.)
(OH MY GIRL is a reaction master.)
"That's it."
"This is it."
This.
Seunghee is cute.
Seunghee's reactions go beyond mine.
Seunghee.
I mean, Seunghee.
They're the happy virus.
They're very hyper.
They make me feel good.
They don't think about how to look pretty.
They're just pretty.
And their behaviors are full of charms.
I think I've become their fan.
I want to see them every day.
(Rediscovery of OH MY GIRL)
They're so talented.
They're good at dancing.
They're good at singing.
What can't they do?
They're so good at making concepts.
They go amazing with that historical concept.
I want to try it too.
All the members are versatile entertainers.
They're like a gift box.
I get excited every time I open it.
There's a surprise every time.
I hope they don't hide their talents.
They should go global.
((G)I-DLE are like tigers.)
(G)I-DLE is...
- They make me cover my mouth. - They're unrivaled.
They're frightening.
- They're like tigers. - Their performances are intense.
They overwhelm the stage. They rip and smash the stage.
They're like an excited tiger that is hunting.
They're outstanding.
They're frighteningly good at performing.
They're like the mixture of idol singer and artist.
They create their own brand.
They're like a type of concept themselves.
I'm so proud of them.
I've realized that they have so many things to show.
I'm excited to see more from them in the future.
((G)I-DLE are like cubs.)
Babies.
Young adults?
Two-faced.
They're like children off stage.
They're charismatic on stage, but off stage...
They're like cubs.
Cubs are adorable, you know.
- They're totally unexpected. - They're unexpected.
They have unexpected charms.
- They're bright. - They're girly.
They're like babies.
They're like, "Well, we're..." They're so cute.
I was most attracted by this team...
throughout Queendom.
(MAMAMOO are like doves who are shy around strangers.)
The MAMAMOO members are like pacifists of Queendom.
They don't care about ranks at all.
They don't care whether they perform first or last.
They're just going their way.
I've learned a lot from how they enjoy everything.
- They're shy around strangers. - Shy insiders.
They're usually shy.
They're so funny.
You know, there are those reactions you make...
when you're around your close acquaintances.
It was so fun to watch the four of them play together.
They were all crazy together then suddenly became quiet outside.
MAMAMOO is funny.
(MAMAMOO is indeed pro performers.)
MAMAMOO is just MAMAMOO.
MAMAMOO did MAMAMOO.
They're the singing president.
MAMAMOO is always good.
You have the faith that MAMAMOO is good.
- They're the pro performers. - They're never disappointing.
- They never disappoint us. - They're never disappointing.
Their performance is so cool every time.
They have such good teamwork.
It gets emotional at the end.
I get surprised every time I watch them perform.
They're always beyond expectations.
Their performances are always cool and never bad.
They're amazing artists.
I've become a fan of theirs.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
The final round will decide on the real first-place winner,
and it's taking place live...
at CJ ENM Studio right now.
Followed by the preliminary competition results,
we'll now reveal the rankings...
for the record sales of comeback singles.
Sung Kyu, please come out.
This is Jang Sung Kyu, the host of Queendom,
and I'm currently on the stage to announce the record sales rankings.
Last week on October 25, we had the pre-releases of their singles.
From 12pm on that day...
to 11:59am on October 28,
we've accumulated the data for those three days.
What will the result be?
Let's check the contestants' rankings...

Congratulations.
Since MAMAMOO has taken first place,
they will receive 15,000 points.
Let's hear how they feel.
Hwa Sa, tell us how you feel.
Above all, I'd like to give thanks to our fans...
who have given us a lot of love.
I'd like to thank CEO Kim Do Hoon for making wonderful music...
and Woo Sang for his hard work.
My dear teammates have gone through so much too.
I'm very grateful.
Solar?
Moonbyul, please wait.
Solar, throughout the competitions,
you were in second place,
but you have taken first place on record sales. How do you feel?
First off, I'm so grateful...
to our fans.
Aside from rankings,
I was so happy...
that I got to know...
about other girl groups...
and watch their performances in person.
- I see. - I'm very grateful.
Wheein.
You went through a lot in many ways. How do you feel?
We were stuck with second place,
so I'm happy that we placed first on record sales.
I'll take this as my strength...
and perform well today.
We'll look forward to it.
Moonbyul, please tell us.
The other members have said it all.
I feel the same.
But about all,
our fans have gone through the most.
I'm most thankful to them.
Thank you so much, guys.
Good. Congratulations again, MAMAMOO.
For the 2nd to 6th-place teams, their points will be converted...
based on the first-place team's sales index...
and reflected on the final score.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.

Da Hee, please come out.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Now you have MAMAMOO, OH MY GIRL,
and (G)I-DLE left to perform.
The final round of Queendom.
I'll introduce you to the fourth group right away.
This group shows a gift-like performance...
with an unexpected concept every time.
I can't wait to find out...
what kind of surprising performance they will show us today.
You look forward to them more tomorrow than today.
They're OH MY GIRL, the concept queens of Queendom.
(One day after the third preliminary competition)
Where are we? This place is nice.
- Is it a restaurant? - Gosh, it's so classy.
- It's a restaurant. - Look at the glass windows.
The menu itself is crazy.
- Goodness. - This is the invitation.
(An invitation was sent to OH MY GIRL.)
What is it all of a sudden?
- What? - Queen Service!
"Queen Service. We're inviting OH MY GIRL,"
"the 1st-place team of the 3rd preliminary competition."
(How exciting.)
Where do we go?
(Luxurious restaurant gift voucher)
(Queen Service prepared only for OH MY GIRL)
(Enjoy all you want.)
- They took us to a classy place. - We have the Queendom invitation.
- What? - We're here to get the service.
- It's crazy. - It's so luxurious.
- This is the Queen Service. - Goodness.
- How exciting. - Thank you.
- Let's have meat. - Good.
Guys, they have ribeye.
- Ready, go. - Caesar salad.
Chicken quesadilla.
Chateaubriand, fish and chips,
coconut shrimp, guanciale spaghetti,
and two chocolate cakes.
(They might eat up everything except for the dishes.)
How many did we order?
- What about drinks? - I want wine.
Give us the most expensive drinks here.
The staff should be okay with it, right?
- This is great. - So this is the Queen Service.
(They're satisfied.)
How satisfying.
- Hello. - Chef.
I guess he's the chef.
It's nice that it's an open kitchen.
(You can watch the cooking process through the open kitchen.)
It's like a scene from a drama.
"One vongole."
Think about it, guys.
You like someone, and he likes you back.
He makes a reservation for a place like this.
- That will be so touching. - I'll be so happy then.
Looks delicious.
- Gosh. - This is a Caesar salad.
Gosh, this...
(The dishes are served one after another.)
(They scream out of happiness.)
- Quesadilla. - I think we can finish all this.
Of course.
- Goodness. - Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
Look how tender this steak is.
- Right? - This?
(Hyo Jung goes for the steak first.)
(Savoring)
Which service do you like more, the previous one or this?
- Of course, this. - This.
(They focus on enjoying each and every dish.)
We're so good at eating.
- I'm so happy. - It's delicious.
Get drunk on the mood, okay?
How do we do that? Show us.
(Get drunk on the mood.)
This is how you look at someone over your shoulder.
- Right? - Are we exchanging glances?
(A fight might ensue if you do it for long.)
Would you take a photo of us?
Take a selfie.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3.
(OH MY GIRL's happy time)
(OH MY GIRL's agency)
Thank you for your hard work, everyone.
Only the final performance remains.
That's right. It has been three months.
We took the first stage with ribbons.
- Ribbons! - We performed with ribbons.
When I think about it now...
- Other teams did more. - I feel embarrassed.
- Time passed so quickly. - I know.
I am worried about the final performance.
(My goodness.)
- The song. - The song is out,
so let's take a look at the lyrics.
"Guerilla".
(OH MY GIRL reads the lyrics of "Guerilla".)
Guerilla essentially means...
- sudden attacks. - That's right.
- There is guerrilla warfare. - There is a separate term.
"Everything we have cherished, this is it."
"This is it."
We received a lot of attention...
through Queendom.
Many people came to like us.
- I think the lyrics suit us. - They suit us well.
I like the line before that.
- Me too. - "I never feared..."
- "what's unfamiliar and new." - "What's unfamiliar and new."
"Every danger will make me greater."
I am the type to be fearful.
We had this journey without fear because we are together.
Hold on.
Let me shed some tears.
(It's a touching moment.)
If we tell...
our story up to this moment on Queendom,
the performance will be touching and charismatic.
It would be nice...
if we immerse ourselves in the lyrics.
- We should do that. - Yes.
Five years have passed since our debut.
Before Queendom, we were busy doing what we had to do.
Queendom...
gave us a sense of purpose.
The members and I began...
to look far ahead regarding what we want to achieve.
I worried about whether I am capable of these performances.
Through practice,
I learned that I am capable.
I changed a lot inside.
The lyrics contain our struggles,
so I hope people would focus on every word.
It's our story.
Let's choose the concept.
We are the concept.
- That's right. - OH MY GIRL.
For "Destiny",
we were sorrowful and dreamy.
For "Twilight",
we were dreamy but powerful.
It's time to show everything.
It will be a mix between the two concepts.
I am not talking about the dance,
but the mood. It should be energetic.
Something like that would be good, overall.
I hope OH MY GIRL...
leaves...
an intense impression on Queendom.
- I know. - At the topic of Queendom,
I want people to go, "OH MY GIRL!"
While every performance on Queendom was precious,
the last one for the final will be even more precious...
and meaningful.
Thus, I think it's more important.
I want to show a performance that is unique to OH MY GIRL.
(OH MY GIRL's studio)
3, 4.
(They practice the dance.)
Hold on.
(A Rin is struggling by herself.)
Kim Heung Kook.
("Tiger Swallowtail"?)
It looked as if you were channeling Kim Heung Kook.
When you move your foot,
you keep moving to the side.
- Do this. - Do you want to try it alone?
- Really? - Stand next to her.
A Rin, let's go this.
Imagine yourself as a figure skater.
That's right.
3, 4.
(Spartan)
There you go.
(Thanks to everyone's support, A Rin finishes in one go!)
(The dance practice resumes.)
A Rin!
Okay.
(She does the dance without a mistake this time.)
(OH MY GIRL practices hard for the last performance.)
I hope a lot of people...
will watch the performance and think,
"I see that OH MY GIRL is a cool group."
I think it's a miracle...
that this kind of chance came to OH MY GIRL.
- Thus... - The beginning and end matter.
We won't get tired until the end. We will work hard...
so that we can wrap up...
without missing anything.
(We will work hard.)
("Guerilla" by OH MY GIRL)
You have watched a performance by OH MY GIRL.
Bom,
what are you looking at?
I found you, OH MY GIRL!
What did you like about OH MY GIRL's performance?
They were really sexy and cool today.
Is that so? Let's now talk to the queen of performances,
Chanmi of AOA.
Yes.
What did you think?
Every part of the performance had...
so much to see.
It contained everything OH MY GIRL has done so far.
- Everything. - Yes.
It was filled to the brim.
All right.
- Mi Joo. - Yes?
- You are close to OH MY GIRL. - Yes.
Please say a few words about the performance.
- I have one comment. - Okay.
That's what I am talking about!
Mi Joo, you don't disappoint. All right.
Before we move on,
I would like to make an announcement...
about the live text voting.
It's coming to an end,
but you still have time.
If you haven't voted,
please vote for the team...
you are rooting for.
I will go over the instructions once more.
Only the texts that contain...
the group's designated number on the top of the screen...
or the correct name will be counted.
Before we check out the last two teams...
on the final live show of Queendom,
we need to talk to this person.
Lee Da Hee, come on out.
I am here.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom,
is airing live today.
It's time for me to introduce the fifth performer.
Usually, they are babies among the teams.
But their charisma explodes when they take the stage.
They made a name for themselves as a talented girl group.
Can you guess who they are?
(G)I-DLE!
((G)I-DLE's agency)
All right.
Why are we clapping?
Oh, it's for coming in fourth place.
(Congratulations.)
- All right. - We didn't place last.
We went up a few places.
- That's right. - We went up two places.
- We improved a lot. - I know.
Finally, we have...
the last song!
Let's hurry up and hear it.
I came to the studio to work on the last song.
(She focuses harder as it's the last song.)
(She plays the keyboard...)
(and sings to complete the song.)
(She records the melody herself.)
(Soyeon is recording the guide for each member.)
I need to do this 100 times...
to create a good melody.
Since we don't receive the songs...
from composers,
so we need to work fast.
I need to start working months ahead.
Thus, I began to work on this as I prepared...
"LATATA".
It's 4:32...
am.
The song is almost ready.
Take a quick listen.
(She gives a sneak peek of the final song.)
I think it's nice.
Right?
Out of all the songs I have worked on,
this one is the best.
I really like it.
The title is...
(Drum roll)
"LION"!
("LION"!)
"LION".
- "LION"? Lion? - Lion?
Let me tell you why that's the title.
When I was writing the song,
the live-action film of "The Lion King" got released.
It's "The Lion King".
The lion is the king.
- That's right. - We are the kings too.
(We will be the kings!)
My goodness.
We are the kings.
(Roar)
- Shall we listen to it? - Yes.
- Let's go. - Come on!
I am nervous.
I can't wait.
(Soyeon seems a bit nervous.)
("LION" by (G)I-DLE plays.)
((G)I-DLE listens to the song with seriousness.)
(I am nervous.)
(Okay.)
(Smiling)
It's nice.
Is that it?
(Actually)
(Shouting)
(That startled me.)
That was insane!
(How do we have such a talented girl in the group?)
(Praise her!)
- Soyeon! - Soyeon!
You did an amazing job.
- That was insane. - Seriously.
This time, we will win.
- We will win. - It's a masterpiece of a song.
- It's to die for. - It's cool.
Thank goodness.
I am always thankful for you guys.
I have wanted to tell you that.
That doesn't suit you.
Really?
- Seriously. - I have wanted to tell you that.
You know... Don't look at me.
This is embarrassing.
You know,
if it weren't for these members,
I wouldn't have had the confidence.
I am serious. Even if...
What? You know that...
I didn't have much confidence.
Whenever I do something,
you tell me that I am good.
- You praise my work. - You really are good!
It was my first time...
to hear someone tell me that I am good and talented.
- I am serious. - Don't be like that!
So I am really...
- thankful. - Come on!
I am really thankful.
You are a genius.
Thank you so much.
(Let's remember these members.)
- Your hand should go here. - I am sorry.
Thank you for your hard work.
I am really thankful for them.
The members always follow my lead...
and tell me that my work is good. I am really thankful.
You give me strength.
Thank you. I love you.
Let's talk about what we want to do.
"Crown" caught my eyes.
I think we should have crowns.
I think the performance should be fancy.
Being fancy is nice,
but I am also getting the image...
of standing in the middle of the desert.
I came up with some ideas.
Here comes her PowerPoint presentation.
Here is the first one. We can use a shabby background...
to show that we are untamed.
While a lot of lions are in the wild,
I was thinking about lions in a cage.
Although they look shabby, they are the kings.
- The ones in the cage. - We are the kings.
Even inside the cage, we are untamed.
The second concept is a queen.
We would wear something like these dresses.
We would be the queens of the lion kingdom.
Lion's mane, robe...
I want the queen's robe...
to represent the lion's mane.
Here is what I want to do.
We are on Queendom, right?
I want to show a grand welcoming ceremony...
for the queen...
who won the war.
(It sounds like a fancy performance.)
- So... - The king is back.
I want the performance to be majestic like a movie.
I think it will be cool.
- I know. I love the story. - It will be cool.
I can't wait for it.
All right.
It's the battle of comebacks.
It's our goal to win the battle,
so I want to show that in our performance.
It will be like a coronation,
and the lions will dance.
When the lions welcome us,
we will walk out.
(This performance will have a lot to see.)
It's the final performance.
Since Soyeon made an incredibly cool song...
I want to give a legendary performance.
"LION" contains...
the thoughts (G)I-DLE has, path (G)I-DLE has taken,
genre that is (G)I-DLE, and performances of (G)I-DLE.
The performance encompasses all,
so I hope people would enjoy it...
and say, "(G)I-DLE doesn't disappoint."
Once upon a time,
there was a kingdom.
And the great war for the throne started.
The war was terrifying...
and ruthless to everyone.
In the middle of the brutal battle,
a young girl cried out,
"I am the queen."
Everyone sneered at her...
since she was just a little girl.
However, she didn't listen to the others...
but kept on fighting...
with her life,
with all her might.
After the long war ended,
she returned as the queen.
And those who saw her said,
"She is a lion."
("Intro" and "LION" by (G)I-DLE)
That was impressive.
You have watched the performance by (G)I-DLE...
in which they became queens.
I have a question for Jimin.
What did you think of (G)I-DLE's performance?
I felt like I was watching...
the six lion queens. It was incredible.
You couldn't stop marveling at them throughout the performance.
Even though they are the youngest,
their stage manners are seasoned.
I agree. If I may ask, what is that on your head?
- It's a (G)I-DLE merchandise. - I see.
Let me ask Seol Hyun this time. What did you think?
It was like a grand welcoming ceremony...
for the victorious (G)I-DLE.
I see. Hye Jeong.
Minnie sent you...
a video message earlier. What did you think?
My baby becomes so cool...
when she takes the stage. I really enjoyed the performance.
- It was really cool. - I agree.
Yuna, I haven't heard your voice in a while.
It was like a movie. It was so cool.
- I see. - Yes.
I agree.
Now, only the last performance remains.
I will make this announcement one last time.
The live text voting...
will end soon.
If you haven't voted,
please send a text...
to sharp 0011.
Please make sure your text contains...
the team number or name.
This is the final live broadcast of Queendom,
and it's time to check out...
the last performance.
Da Hee, come on.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Now, one last performance remains.
Do you know how I would describe their performances...
on Queendom?
I would say, "MAMAMOO did their thing."
They will give the last performance of the final show.
The group that never disappoints, MAMAMOO.
(MAMAMOO's agency)
Only the final performance remains.
- Finally! - This is the last one.
We worked hard.
Finally.
(Laughing)
I thought...
I would feel relieved,
but I feel a bit sad as well.
We are the 2nd place. The 2nd place, MAMAMOO.
- I know. - The forever second place.
- We can't escape it. - From start to end, right?
To be honest,
I want to applaud us.
(Cringing)
I am cringing!
No other team has maintained a rank like us.
- Their ranks changed. - Yes.
They went from one rank to another,
but we stayed the same.
I want us to place first this time.
(I want us to place 1st this time.)
(Solar reveals how she feels.)
This could go in the trailer.
(The trailer)
- That would be insane. - It's time to warm up.
(Chaos)
(The pigeon showed its claws.)
(I am having a mental breakdown.)
I am cringing.
(Was it too cringeworthy?)
"Let's show them."
There is a reason why I want to win this time.
(What is it?)
- What's the reason? - We need to win this time...
to have the solo comeback show.
- The fans will enjoy it with us. - That's right.
I am ambitious about the final performance.
The winner gets to have a solo comeback show.
Our fans really want that.
The Korean title of our song is quite long.
It's "We Were Meant to Meet Again".
(MAMAMOO gets ready to record the song.)
"Destiny".
Hold on. Kei.
(You are my destiny)
(We won't forget 95 for a long time.)
You will start the song.
- Okay. - Nail it as you usually do.
(Hwa Sa's honey-like voice opens the final song.)
(Let's listen to it.)
Gonna tell you
Something about my story
Was it too weak?
I have had this thought since six months ago.
You don't need my directions.
Don't be ridiculous.
I only marvel during your recording session.
My goodness. The song is really nice.
(The atmosphere is heartwarming.)
The song is insane.
It's really nice.
I think it's the best MAMAMOO song.
Yes! Come on, come on, come on.
Okay. Let's do this.
Okay. I am ready.
Sing it like Rain's "LA SONG".
Okay. Okay.
(Singing)
Hold on.
(It sounded as if she was speaking Spanish.)
It was like a machine gun.
(Solar practices again.)
This part is hard.
(Her powerful voice livens up the atmosphere.)
That was flawless.
Seriously.
Doubts exhausted me
And blinded the eyes of my fragile heart
Gosh, that was really nice.
Shall we listen to it?
(While Solar records her part,)
(Moonbyul shows off her dance skills.)
(Moonbyul, the leader of Six Puzzles)
Good!
- Moonbyul. - Yes?
Are you ready?
- I am ready! - Yes, yes, yes.
(The rap makes you feel good.)
Moonbyul, do you have good news?
- What? Why do you ask? - You look happy.
You look happy.
(Laughing)
There should be the emotions of a breakup.
I see. Emotions.
You sound too happy.
(She gets into the mood and begins recording again.)
(She delivers the sentimentality of a breakup.)
(How did she do this time?)
She is a professional.
This is longing, resignation, and trust
(Wheein is here.)
(MAMAMOO is excited because the song is nice.)
Popping! I'm Crab Girl.
You know I respond better to the carrot, right?
- You are good. - You are the best.
(Wheein has a unique voice as well.)
(Her voice works hard.)
It was good. You looked cool.
(Smiling)
When the song is good, you feel happy during the recording.
This song is like that.
(MAMAMOO recorded the song happily.)
(They work hard until the end...)
(to give a good performance.)
I hope it comes out nice and atmospheric.
What should be the concept?
- Let's talk about it. - I have the answer.
(I have the answer.)
(How?)
You have the answer?
The song is very macho.
- The Western... - That's right!
It's like that.
- I know what you mean. - You are right.
- It's a bit... - Right?
In Western movies, there are rough men.
We will be rough women.
What are the characteristics of rough women?
Sideburns down to here.
(She bursts out laughing.)
- Sideburns. - Beard.
We should have milk trickle down our beards.
We should take off our cowboy hats...
- like they do in Western movies. - That's right.
They do that.
- What was that smile? - Do they really do that?
What?
They take off their hats like this.
We should wear hats...
at first.
After the intro,
- we can take them off. - Okay.
I have another idea for the intro.
It can be the first meeting.
From one end to another...
I will go after Hwa Sa.
Then we can throw our hats and dance...
- like that. - It will be like a movie.
- Let's make a movie. - Let's do that.
I think it will be a unique performance.
You can look forward to it.
The performance will be like a child I am proud of.
Even if we don't win, this song will be the winner for me.
(What kind of a final performance did MAMAMOO prepare?)
("Destiny" by MAMAMOO)
Stand up, everybody!
One more time!
Make some noise!
MAMAMOO never disappoints.
They showed us an incredible performance.
They were quite charismatic on the stage.
- Kei. - Yes?
What did you think?
It was legendary.
The performance made my jaw drop.
- It was that impressive. - I hope...
Hye Jin and my meeting was a destiny.
All right. Mi Joo,
you are the expert of poses.
How would you describe MAMAMOO's performance...
with a pose?
I prepared one as I watched the performance.
That's good.
- All right. - Give me the microphone.
I have something to say.
They ripped the stage apart.
They ripped it apart. All right.
- Now, Ye In. - I feel pressured.
You can't sit still.
Please show us how the performance was...
- with a pose. - A pose?
- A pose? - Yes.
Then I will use "Sympathy For Lady Vengeance".
That's good.
Do you think I'm friendly?
Great.

((G)I-DLE)
(OH MY GIRL)
(Lovelyz)
(MAMAMOO)
(AOA)
(Park Bom the soloist)
(As they began their journeys on Queendom...)
We want people to think...
that we're great on stage as expected.
I think it'll be a good chance for us to show...
new sides to us.
As I'm working with these other groups,
I want to go back to the basics.
I think there'll be a lot to learn.
I want to let more people know...
the (G)I-DLE genre that we are.
The music that only we do...
and the music that only we can do.
We want to show ourselves to people.
We want people to simply say,
"OH MY GIRL is good."
We want more people to know about our music and ourselves,
so we're going to work very hard.
We'll work hard.
It'll be a success,
as long as people see new sides to us...
and be surprised by them.
This is our first formal appearance as a group of five.
We want people to know that AOA is still alive...
and that we still got it.
That's what we want people to think.
(All six teams started this journey with similar but different goals.)
We don't care about the results,
but we want to do our best in our performances.
We can't show different sides we have to us on music shows.
Unless it's an awards ceremony,
singers don't have many opportunities...
to pull off performances like these.
I think it's a good opportunity for us.
(MAMAMOO only wanted one thing.)
We're really shy.
Since Queendom is a show...
where we get to meet our juniors and seniors,
we're quite worried,
but we think it's a chance for us to overcome that shyness.
(The first meeting with everyone was especially scary for them.)
(Anxious)
We're shy people,
so I'm worried that people will misunderstand us.
I'm also very shy,
but being on Queendom...
helped me overcome that.
I'm really surprised.
The show made my shyness go away.
More than a competition,
we got to learn from each other...
and became each other's motivation...
to make better music.
We'll forever remember being on this incredible show.
We want a heartwarming ending.
We always wanted to show ourselves.
We've always wanted to perform...
stages that has never been done before.
It was an amazing experience...
to show all of that through Queendom.
Throughout the competition, I was always anxious...
and working hard for each round.
It was really nice to work hard every single day.
We really worked hard.
I think it was an opportunity...
though which we let ourselves be known to the public.
That's what I think of the show.
We'll do a lot more cool things.
Please support us...
and send us love! Thank you.
The last place of the first preliminary competition...
is Lovelyz.
(Lovelyz ranked 6th in the 1st preliminary competition.)
When we ranked last?
I felt fine.
There's nowhere to go but up.
We practiced from as soon as we woke up...
until late at night.
We got so many bruises from practicing all the time.
(Slowly but surely, Lovelyz continued to grow step by step.)
Our goal was to go up slowly,
and I'm so proud of us...
for being able to do that.
All I'm thinking now is that...
we want to show our best sides.
Through this show, we got to perform genres...
that we haven't as Lovelyz.
And we got to do what we've been dreaming of,
which is why I'm so glad...
that we were a part of Queendom.
We got to watch a lot of our seniors and juniors' stages.
We learned a lot through that.
There were certain things we could learn from other groups,
and we were also inspired to work harder.
I think this was our big moment of growth.
After this painful time of growth,
hopefully, we become greater.
Queendom is...
my teacher.
It gave me a chance to perform as a soloist,
and I learned a lot.
I began thinking about...
how I can be better for the next performance.
It wasn't just about working hard...
but thinking about what I can and will show.
It really brought me back to the basics.
That's why it was so much fun for me.
(And Bom has finally found her light.)
I was also a part of a group.
Everyone was in groups,
but I was alone,
which is why I felt lonely.
But I stopped feeling like that.
Everyone got together as a part of Queendom,
so leaving the competition behind,
we could all enjoy the journey together.
Though it was a short period of time,
I've become quite attached to everyone.
I think I'm going to be quite sad...
when the show ends.
I'm definitely going to remember this for a long time.
Why am I tearing up?
- Hello. - Hello.
Who are you?
I want people to rethink of who we are...
and be impressed by us.
Bom...
- AOA... - (G)I-DLE...
(OH MY GIRL was voted down by 3 groups in the 1st competition.)
I realized that we're still lacking.
Should we have worked harder?
I was quite sad.
(They came back stronger for the 2nd preliminary competition.)
(With "Destiny", they proudly ranked first.)
Yesterday, I was such a small person...
and a nobody.
But within just a day,
within a few hours,
I suddenly became someone that people cheer for.
I couldn't help but to keep thinking about that.
I learned that many actually believe that we're a great group.
It was also a chance for us to say,
"We're good."
I was so happy.
(And there was another miracle.)
Throughout Queendom,
so many unbelievable incidents happened.
Such incidents are usually called as miracles.
I'm so grateful that we were given...
those miracles.
I hope we have a better result...
and shed tears of happiness.
This is our first show as a five-member group.
I was anxious and scared.
I was so nervous too.
It felt like I was standing at the end of a cliff.
Thanks to our fans' support and concerns,
we gained a lot of confidence.
We wouldn't have been able...
to do such performances if not for Queendom.
I'm so happy and proud...
that we got to show them through this chance.
I did everything I wanted to do.
While preparing for Queendom,
I've become stronger.
I thought, "This day does come."
For giving us such love and support...
Why am I tearing up?
I'm so grateful for giving us such love and support.
Yes, I'm grateful.
- Okay, good work. - Thank you.
But it's so sad.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(At the end of Queendom)
I have so many performances that I want to do,
but now that it's the final round, I feel so bad.
I'm grateful to the viewers and the audience...
for watching our performances.
Queendom will remain as good memories.
Through Queendom,
I've gotten to know a lot of my juniors.
They have so many to learn from, and I did learn a lot from them.
I had so much fun.
In the musical history of MAMAMOO,
we've come to have good memories called Queendom.
We won't be able to forget about it.
Through Queendom,
we've come to love ourselves.
That's a huge turning point for us,
I believe.
Please give a lot of support...
to us, (G)I-DLE, as well as all the groups and seniors...
on Queendom.
Thank you.
(Please continue to support us.)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
With the live voting results combined,
the real first-place winner has been decided.
I have the result...
in my hands right now.
The official competition expert of Queendom...
is Jimin of AOA.
In this envelope,
whose name do you think is written?
Please hand her the mic.
If I say our name, would it be too much to hope for?
You're being weak. That's not like you.
Actually, Soyeon of (G)I-DLE...
is also the expert of competition programs.
Who do you think will take first place, Soyeon?
Please tell us what you think.
I can't dare...
predict who might win this competition.
But since I'm the member of (G)I-DLE, I hope it's (G)I-DLE.
That was honest.
Let's hear from Lovelyz this time.
You placed sixth in the first round, but you kept moving up...
to a higher rank.
Let me ask you, Su Jeong.
- Well... The first-place winner? - Who do you think will win?
Every team has their reason...
to place first.
But since I'm the member of Lovelyz,
I hope it's Lovelyz...
who has come up the stairs.
- I see. - I see.
This group has placed first in the record sales of pre-releases.
Let's hear from MAMAMOO.
Solar, who do you think will place first?
I hope it's MAMAMOO.
Let's go.
Now we're at the end, everyone is being honest.
All right, Bom.
Who do you think will place first?
Honestly, I hope that it's me.
- That's honest. - I know.
Okay.
Lastly, let's hear from OH MY GIRL...
who place first twice in the preliminary competitions.
Who do you think will become the final winner, Hyo Jung?
Our seniors have shown...
amazing performances.
AOA did a wonderful job.
MAMAMOO did an amazing job. (G)I-DLE was so cool.
Lovelyz was great. And Bom was unbelievable.
But whoever places first,
I've performed...
so happily on this show.
I want us all to place first.
She's kind indeed.
But what does that make the others?
Everyone mentioned their own team...
while Hyo Jung made a kind remark alone.
We've listened to the predictions...
of all six teams.
Before we announce the result,
we'll reveal...
the two candidates first.
If your name is called, please come out...
and stand on the candidate platform in the middle of the stage.
Who is the real winner?
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Between the two first-place candidates,
we'll announce one of the teams first.
- Sung Kyu, please do it. - Yes?
All right. The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
The first candidate is...
This candidate has captured...
our eyes and ears every second of every minute.
The first candidate is...
(It will be continued soon.)
Commercials, come on.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom, is being aired live.
Between the two first-place candidates,
we'll announce one team first.
Sung Kyu, you'll announce it for real this time, right?
Of course.
- Okay. - There will be no more commercials.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
The first candidate is...
MAMAMOO.
(First-place Candidate: MAMAMOO)
Congratulations.
MAMAMOO, please move to the center of the stage.
- Go, MAMAMOO. - Go, MAMAMOO.
Go, MAMAMOO!
Okay.
- Sung Kyu. - Yes.
Please announce the 2nd 1st-place candidate.
Okay.
I will announce...
the 2nd 1st-place candidate.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom. The last...
first-place candidate is...
Which team would it be?
It's...
Da Hee.
Which team do you want it to be?
Excuse me?
Today, every team gave...
- an incredible final performance. - Yes.
Hwa Sa is patting your hair.
Are you okay?
My hair.
Are you trying to imply that Da Hee's hair is brittle?
- We are close. - Are you close?
All right.
I will make the announcement now.
- Don't delay it any longer. - Okay.
I will really make the announcement now.
Who could be...
the other first-place candidate?
Congratulations, OH MY GIRL!
Congratulations.
OH MY GIRL, please move to the center of the stage.
(First-place Candidate: OH MY GIRL)
(OH MY GIRL)
We have both first-place candidates on the stage.
Let's ask MAMAMOO some questions first.
- Okay. - Okay.
MAMAMOO, how does it feel to be on the stage?
Did you expect to have your name called?
To be honest, I didn't think I would be nervous.
But it's really nerve-wracking to be on the stage.
Wheein and I were talking about how nervous we are.
We were able to come this far...
because many people supported us.
It's all thanks to our fans.
We are very happy. Thank you.
All right.
Let's move on to OH MY GIRL.
- Okay. - Now,
Hyo Jung is teary-eyed.
Firstly, thank you so much.
I was so startled.
I am really happy to be the first-place candidate.
I am glad to give back...
to those who trust us this way.
I see. You are teary-eyed.
Did you know the group would be called?
You did place 1st in the last 2 rounds,
so you might have been expectant.
We wouldn't have cried had that been the case.
We were sitting there...
without any expectations.
When we got called, all of us were surprised.
- All of you were surprised. - Yes.
All right.
Now, Da Hee.
- Sung Kyu. - Yes?
It's quite a cliche,
but we must ask this question at this point.
That's right. I love a good cliche.
What's classic lasts forever.
OH MY GIRL,
which group do you want to place first?
Even though we didn't expect to be called,
but we came this far. For those...
who worked hard with us and the fans who gave us love,
I hope we get called.
I see. Any group would want...
to win for the fans.
It's understandable.
MAMAMOO, which group do you think will win?
Is the question too cliched?
- Still, I must ask. - It's a nice question.
I want us to win.
MAMAMOO is competitive.
All right.
Now,
we have listened to the two groups' wishes.
OH MY GIRL,
you took two consecutive wins in the preliminary competition.
You pushed forward...
and placed first in the combined preliminary competitions.
MAMAMOO, you stayed consistent...
throughout the performances...
and placed first in terms of the digital music score.
From the results, the two teams are neck-and-neck.
Between the two teams,
which team will become the winner?
My heart is about to burst.
Now, it's time to announce the winner.
Between MAMAMOO and OH MY GIRL,
which team will win?
Sung Kyu, please announce the result.
All right.
In this envelope is the name of the winner.
I will open the envelope.
Okay. I checked the result.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
I will announce the real winner.
The real winner...
is...
I want to thank all six teams...
for their hard work.
The winner is...
Commercials, come on!
(The 1st place winners will be revealed shortly.)
The battle of comebacks, Queendom,
is coming to you live from CJ ENM Studios in Ilsan.
Only the announcement of the winner remains.
Sung Kyu, please announce the winner.
Okay. I am so nervous that I can't handle...
any more commercials.
I will announce the winner right away.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
Who will be the real winner?
Between MAMAMOO and OH MY GIRL,
which team will come in first place?
The real winner of Queendom is...
Da Hee, please announce the result.
- Sung Kyu. - I can't.
I really can't.
I really can't do this.
Why don't we do this?
We'll open it up and read it aloud together.
I don't think I can do it alone, either.
- Will that be okay with you all? - Let's read it together.
- Is that all right? - Yes!
- All right, then. - A lot of people sound mad.
- We'll make it quick. - Yes.
We have the final results.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
The real winners are...
1, 2, 3.
- Congratulations, MAMAMOO! - Congratulations, MAMAMOO!
(The final winner is MAMAMOO.)
Da Hee, please hand them the trophy.
Why are you crying?
I've never seen MAMAMOO like this.
My goodness.
Congratulations.
MAMAMOO has steadily kept their 2nd place...
throughout the preliminary competitions.
They ranked first in the final round,
thus showing what they've got.
MAMAMOO takes the win once again.
- Congratulations once again! - Congratulations.
We have to hear from you.
Please say a word, each of you.
All right.
Well.
First of all,
I want to tell everyone in this Queendom family...
that we all did so well and that we all worked so hard.
And we'd like to thank our fans...
for working harder than we did.
Thank you to all the production staff...
and our company staff for making the show happen.
Thank you so much.
Next up is Moonbyul.
Yes.
So many people worked hard to make this happen.
Although we placed first,
and it's incredible,
we believe that every single one of us here are winners.
Please continue to love and support all six groups here,
and we'll all be back with good songs and performances,
so continue showing us love and support.
Yes.
- Next up is Wheein. - Wheein.
First of all,
we joined the show...
without expecting anything.
Thank you for showing us so much love.
I think this just gave us motivation...
to make better music in the future.
Thank you so much for that.
We'll continue to work hard to make good performances and music.
And last up is Hwa Sa.
I really didn't expect this.
All of us the artists worked so hard for this.
We...
I can't do this.
Thank you.
Congratulations once again.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
You can cry as much as you'd like today.
And please give a round of applause to our runner-up,
OH MY GIRL!
Here.
Since we're running out of time, we'll just have...
one person speak for the group.
Since our debut,
we kept looking ahead...
and telling ourselves that our day will come.
We got to show ourselves...
through Queendom,
and I feel like we're all recharged with passion...
and motivation from the show.
Although we're a group of five years now,
we'll continue to work hard and put on great performances.
Please give a round of applause for OH MY GIRL.
Thank you for the great words.
Yes.
It's time to close.
We have to close now.
Lastly, I wanted to thank...
all six teams for putting on such great performances.
Thank you, Queendom.
Thank you to all six teams!
These six groups have worked very hard...
to put on amazing performances.
- Thanks so much. - Good work, everyone.
And sincere thanks to...
to all the viewers of the show...
and the fans of all six groups.
We will now close the show.
Da Hee, let's close before you go off.
- Shall we close? - Yes.
I'm Da Hee, Queen of Queendom.
I'm Sung Kyu, Dom of Queendom.
- Thank you. - Thank you!
