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.
Spotify scores in detail:
(live voting has not started yet)
Video score will be revealed later
For now, they explain how to participate in the livevoting which is worth 30,000 pts (via text)
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
LOONA now performing POSE
(Keep voting in the live-vote)
Taeyeon: Wow. LOONA as bad-girls, they pulled it so well, they really are full of charms.
Q: Youngeun, what did you think?
Youngeun: They're sooo cool. Our unnies, are soooo coool!!!
Q: In five syllables[words], could you explain how you felt about their performance?
Yeseo: "Dal-so tore it up", they really tore it up
Exy: How LOONA always pulls off their concepts so perfectly, I'm so surprised - I just wanted to go up and dance up there with you. The best!
All groups have now performed
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.

(Some of their letters are blocked...)
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!"
[LIVE] @loonatheworld will not appear, but music critic & KMA/MAMA panel member @toojazzy25 is on Pentagon's Night Radio to talk about #LOONA on "Artist of the Week", where a music critic appears every Friday to talk about a kpop act of their choice
Ah, on Queendom yesterday, they did amazingly, and got 2nd. Fans must've been disappointed about not winning, but what wasn't meaningful was the rank, but their efforts and passion. Idalso. "LOONA". I'll call them Dalso here.
(Basic info? Like debut date?)
Hard to explain, even in kpop this type of group is very rare. The members were revealed in intervals. So since 2016 each member was revealed one at a time. So it was like an internal competition, you'd pick one member, then they'd decide the next.
Been so long since I've done a vlive after Queendom started. Am I at home? Yes I am home. I ate and got to my dorm and was resting. But I didn't have anything to do really so I went live.
Gureum's so cute, right? The photo.
Did I see the trailer? Yes.
At the set, to the A&R team I asked when the teasers would come out, and they said tomorrow, (she asked yesterday) so I knew.
But what they showed, I saw today. I saw the actual trailer today for the first time too.
#LOONA, full group comeback in a year - announces summer special mini album "Flip That" entertain.naver.com/read?oid=112&a…
The teaser starts with a train filled with lush grasses, forming a magical atmosphere.
Under warm sunlight, a mysterious door is shown in a field of trees, 1/4
hinting at the start of a journey into a fantastic world, guided by #LOONA. The bright atmosphere that come from natural sounds such as birds chirping and wind, and flowers of many colors, give off the fresh coolness of summer days.
[Release details omitted]
New album "Flip That", as a summer special mini-album, includes their first seasonal song as a full group, which takes aim at summer. It plans to show a summer of the girls that has yet to be seen, including refreshing and dream-like colors that go well with summertime.
#LOONA Chuu on HeyNews "News show that kings you off"
*Queendom2 final episode (+ live voting) airs in 1hr 20 mins
Context: this is a mildly comedic interview show
(sends a smile when it's awkward)
(looks away)
Interviewer: How do you feel, seeing me?
Chuu: Actually in the videos you seemed more... Kind...
Interviewer: Ah expressing unkindness, like...
Chuu: No no, you seem very, urban
Chuu: That fits this background well. Like you own this building on the night skyline.
Interviewer: Oh, I don't even own my home--
Chuu: Me neither
Inteviewer: We better work hard...
Chuu: Yes, fighting...
