All of LOONA were present for press but it looks like Yves will be representing the group at the press conference (they only took one member per group)
(introducing themselves)
Yves: Hello I'm Yves here to represent LOONA as one of the leaders; as Queendom2 is a such an opportunity for us we'll work hard to show you our best. Thank you.
The PD mentions that Queendom2 was the non-drama show with the most buzz (t/n: data from Gooddata) last week, before the show even officially started; he is thankful for the high interest
- 96000 peak concurrent viewers for the ep0 preview livestream
[After questions for the "Grandmaster & Queen manager" MCs]
Q (asked to all groups): Reason for joining Queendom 2? And something [new] you'd like to show the viewers?
Yves: First, how we got to join Queendom2 - we're thankful that that we have some popularity abroad, and the fans have set many records for us. However our popularity's lower here, so we decided to come on a high-interest program like QD2 in hopes of finding more domestic fans.
Yves: On Queendom 2, we hope to show you an image of LOONA that's not just the intense, strong one that the public may remember of us now. Rather, we'll show you all the 12 members' diverse range of colors and charms. Please check it out.
Q (asked to all groups): How was it meeting Taeyeon, whom so many girl group idols look up to, here?
Yves: For me, when SNSD had their debut reality show, I would watch all the episodes on MNET and fostered my dreams of becoming a singer like the sunbaenims. So I was so happy to
get to see her up-close. Actually we had to pass auditions which included singing "Into the New World" to become a LOONA member, so getting to show our performances to such a meaningful sunbaenim itself is an honor. We'll work harder with that motivation. I love you too!
PD when asked on how they decided to invite these groups (after kinda randomly mentioning BBC's debut-era marketing line of "9.9B KRW girl group") cites LOONA's comparatively huge popularity abroad, and as such the staff thought they would be able to show good things here
[Closing statements]
Yves: As Queendom2 is a survival show, it'll be very intense, but we'll work hard to show you very cool stages so as to not fall behind the others. Since [Exy] unnie just said they'd "tear it up" on stage, we'll "break" the stage. Hope you stay tuned!
What did I do today? I told myself I'd sleep in really late, and slept til 3pm.
Oh, Chuu's vlive was today!
Then should I play some music?
What songs do we have here...
How is it? (knocks on something) Ow!
How's a vlive where I just got up?
My voice is fine, it's just because I just woke up!
What'll I have for dinner? I figure I'll have ramyun noodles?
A spring song? I suddenly thought of one:
Eric Nam - Heaven's Door
WJSN Seola: Ah Yves said she would like to get to know me?
She actually came over to our practice room that one time,
I got shy again so I could only say hi,
but she was so pretty
Yves:
What
What's happening on vlive...
🤦♀️
What do I do
I get shy too
I'll try not to be now
What if she feels bothered by this?
Would she like snacks
She likes bread?
Okay...
Imagining myself keeping bread in my backpack til the last ep of queendom, the bread going bad
All set up.
Orbit~ It's been a while.
What're you all doing right now? Have you had food? It's 7pm now. Are you eating dinner? I'm still eating. I was watching Hyeju's vlive while eating and it ended, so I figured I'd go live while eating.

This one's a dish I like. I like always having egg, meat, and vegetables. Today I added mushrooms too.
Today's vegetable is broccoli. I guess this isn't a mukbang but an ASMR stream
