Taeyeon: How do you feel?
Haseul: We really didn't expect at all to get 1st in this digital score, so we're all a bit shaken up now. Thank you for listening to our song as well as the other teams' songs.

Performances & preparations behind the scenes starting now (First up: Hyolyn)
After Hyolyn's performance
Taeyeon: Chuu, hearts were coming out of your eyes, what did you think?
Chuu: I suddenly feel so nervous - I was enjoying the show, then I felt that I'd have to work harder for our performance later. I was so happy seeing your sunbaenim-like show.
After the first 3 performances (Hyolyn, WJSN, Kep1er)
Announcing video (Youtube) scores & Fan's Choice (mnetworld voting for prior videos) now:
#1 LOONA
Heejin: Oh, we didn't expect this rank at all so I was so surprised. But so many fans showed their love and interst so I'm genuinely so thankful.
They are reminding the audience about the live votes (the numbers onscreen are the candidate numbers - LOONA is candidate #5, these are not the rankings)
If confused about why LOONA didn't get 10,000 in the Fan's Choice + Youtube score, this is because the two subscores were combined, and Lee Yongjin noted that VIVIZ were the #1 in the Youtube subscore
- LOONA practice behind and performance coming up next
- Keep voting
Taeyeon references their POSE song description while introducing their behind the scenes video
(LOONA - you know their performances will be good before watching - are here as today's bad-girls / villains here, to turn the game around in the final stage)
By Choerry's request: After they practice all night, they go to see the sunrise together
Jinsoul: it does feels different being here all together, compared to when I/we came here as a trainee/s

Q: In five syllables[words], could you explain how you felt about their performance?

Post-Brave Girls performance interview) Yves: Eunji unnie's often cute like a puppy, but onstage, she becomes a sexy cat, showing that surprise charm - so I want to give her a score of 200 out of 100.

Q: Lip, who do you think will win?
All the teams look so good and are so cool.
We've unimaginably taken 1st in the digital and MV/fans choice scores, so I'm hoping we can win.
(to be honest all the interviewees generally said that everyone did well / hope [I/we] will win)
They will reveal the two final candidates for Queendom2 winner in 60 seconds
Korean viewers are getting Sugarlolo ads in the ad break
Q: How did you feel when you (and WJSN) were announced as finalists for Queendom2?
Haseul: When WJSN sunbaenims got picked first, I sincerely congratulated them, and thought, guess it's not us. But when you said LOONA, we lost energy in our legs and had to sit again. But now I'm wanting the trophy~!
LOONA takes 2nd place on Queendom 2 👏
Yves: First, I wanted to say to WJSN sunbaenims, congrats so much on winning. And to ourselves, going through a lot of things, there were low points for our self-confidence with uncertainty, but it wasn't for nothing as we won 2nd so we look forward to what's next.
Thank you to the fans!
Kim Lip congratulates WJSN as well, and thanks Orbits
"We've come up from 5th to 2nd, which itself is already such a big honor, and we're so thankful."
Lip thanks auspicious dance and the stylists, then ends with "Orbits are the best!"
Kim Youngdae's Fantastic Youngdaeland ft #ARTMS
(Kim Lip wasn't present due to losing her voice)
YD: As fans already know, ARTMS has members from LOONA, from 1/3 and OEC.
Other than that time we exchanged greetings, it's our first time meeting, right?
YD: Be honest - Did you know who Kim Youngdae was?
Jinsoul/Choerry: Yes
Choerry: You appear a lot in media and also fans mention you a lot too.
Jinsoul: and one time you promoted an OEC song on TV, my parents sent me a picture of that.
YD: Ah yes parents watch that show a lot. Differential Class. That episode was about K-culture. But at the end, I was asked to give 5 kpop recommendations, and I picked Sweet Crazy Love. Then the viewer forums had a huge response. Some were like "who the heck is that?" Since this is kind of a subculture. But then after hearing it, "that was amazing". Meanwhile fans were saying "Wow OEC coming up here!"
Jinsoul: I was proud at that moment.
YD: And on Night Radio with Pentagon, I had a special episode on LOONA. Recommending 10 of their best songs.
Haseul: What was the #1 song?
YD: It was SCL. 2 was Butterfly. I might be getting the two mixed up.
YD: I haven't missed a new song of yours, since ViViD.
He also mentions including LOONA in his book which included 10 kpop acts
Haseul says a fan gifted them this book before (she hasn't read it)
Haseul: The names on there are really amazing;
YD: Well BTS Blackpink Taemin Taeyeon IU Day6
Heejin: Us among those names...
YD: Are you embarrassed by chance?
Heejin asks about what attracted him to LOONA
Jinsoul: How'd you first hear about it?
YD: Well first the original plan was just so weird. So I was like who came up with this idea? And of course it was Jaden Jeong
The Big Issue Magazine #258 (ft. #LOONA Heejin & Hyunjin) making film
Issue #288*
Q: My charm?
Heejin: Lately I'm really liking the shape of my lips
Hyunjin: Lately I've really been liking the color of my eyes. They're a natural brown.
My TMI that the fans won't know about?
Heejin: Fans think that I like exercise and that I'm rather active, but I'm the type that doesn't leave the house. I really like staying in - I'm always in bed.
On today's episode of Entertainment Weekly Plus
The show brought in a lawyer and asked about the contract
Lawyer notes that the payout split is unlike typical contracts, noting that if the costs are 60% of the revenue, the artist cannot make any money
The investigative team called Blockberry Creative - when the contract was brought up, they simply said that Chuu and her parents understood the contract terms when signing
(The rest of the feature mostly just recaps details from the Dispatch release)
Noting that an economics Youtube channel (The Investing Worker) covered the contract the other day and pointed out how the term "revenue" and "profit" are very different but often used interchangeably in casual conversation, which is a point of confusion -
OSEN News: According to an official in the music industry, Blockberry Creative is aiming for a #LOONA comeback (specified, with 10 members) on Jan 3 entertain.naver.com/read?oid=109&a…
The article has just been revised to say 11 members
Article 2
Blockberry Creative told xsportsnews that the preparations for a LOONA comeback are underway, but the timing is undecided, and that they would make an announcement once the comeback schedule is confirmed entertain.naver.com/read?oid=311&a…

[Caption: They're "extremely immersed" in their concepts]
Hi? I'm Rien
I heard you had a lot of questions for me?
I'll answer everything, just wait~
[1/...]
Q: Is there any life in Gliese 832c that exercises?
Mm, I was born alone so there was no other life there, but whenever I was bored I did exercise.
Q: Have you ever had a conversation with Chonky Cat?
Maybe it's because I didn't give her churu (cat treat) but she didn't really talk a lot with me.
So I'll have to bring more churu and try to get closer with her.
Q: Do you have any qualifications for someone becoming your butler?
I like butlers that don't bother me
Q: Your cat noises - are they natural talent, or did you practice?
I don't think this person knows me very well, but I "am" a cat.
