Loona’s dream-like performance suited them incredibly well, as well as perfectly matching the atmosphere that the stages of Queendom 2 present. Below you’ll see my opinions on each of the opening performances. The first performance the participants gave was during the opening show, where each group gets to show their charms before the competition begins. Brave Girls debuted 11 years ago and blew up with their song “Rollin’” in 2017, now they’d like to cement their spot among the queens of Kpop. Loona debuted six years ago, and wants to make people believe in them and stop looking at them with pity due to their company’s misfortunes. For example, Kep1er only debuted in January, and they want to prove themselves as a talented group. Throughout the preview and the official first episode, the audience is met from a wide range of different emotions and different reasons that each group wanted to appear on the show. Those contestants are, in no particular order: Queendom 2 has six contestants from all types of companies, backgrounds, and even times of debut. The start of a new season makes many Kpop fans wonder, who will take home the crown this time?

Last time, girl group Mamamoo took first place in the final round and won a comeback show dedicated solely to them. Queendom 2 is a global version of the show, where international votes are factored as well as the live audience’s votes. Throughout the show, competitors will go through a series of performance challenges and themes, while audience voting determines who wins each round. Queendom (and its later counterpart Kingdom) was a Kpop reality competition show where six groups compete to show off their skills and talents. Recently, the show Queendom began airing its second season in Korea. Taylor Button, Staff Writer, Student Treasurer
