Oh, apologies, I remembered Unnatural being 2020 for some reason? I guess the pandemic really messed up my sense of time, heh Honestly, I guess how Starship will treat them remains to be seen... Like all the other contestants, I guess a lot depends on the next comeback. Fingers crossed

2022-06-06 20:36:29 +0000 UTCTo help maybe sell you on checking out WJSN Chocome's Super Yuppers, here is one of the teasers in the form of an over the top listening reactions from a bunch of celebs (mostly Starship idols): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVkHv4OhGvA

2022-06-06 20:14:07 +0000 UTCWJSN's last group comeback was actually in March 2021 with Unnatural, so not quite as long as 2020, but still a very long time. They were certainly in a bad spot before Queendom and 25 21. I still don't know if Starship will give them the love they deserve. They are doing fine at the moment with the concert and comeback, but what else will they do for them before February? WJSN certainly worked very hard on Queendom and I want their efforts rewarded in the future. I don't want them cast aside because Starship has Ive who will take the company to even bigger heights.

2022-06-06 19:52:55 +0000 UTCAnd it's over! I'm not gonna lie, halfway through QD2 I kinda burnt out on the show. Compared to the first season, so many episodes just dragged on and on... I literally could only watch the second last episode through your reaction, whereas normally I would always watch it on Viki first and then check your reaction. Though I did catch the finale live (even took time off from work for it, lol) But now that it's over... why am I feeling so sentimental lol? God, Mnet, you bunch of cucks Just some quick points: - I thought WJSN's finale performance was kinda eh. I saw what they were going for, and Aura is a nice song, but it could use some oomph tbh. But overall WJSN were some of the strongest competitors on the show, and I think they did a great job of showcasing themselves through QD2. I'm considering buying a ticket for their online concert this weekend. - It's a shame for Loona, but honestly, if you do good on this kind of show, you will do good in general. I see so much engagement for them as a result of Queendom, I think they may finally break through domestically. And I think this goes for all contestants. - I was honestly conflicted during the finale. At first I came in 100% in support of Loona, but over time WJSN really grew on me. I felt WJSN needed the win more, tbh. Their contracts will be up very soon, they haven't had a group comeback since 2020, and they're already massively overshadowed by their junior girl group. Loona has struggled as well, for years, but their current situation isn't as desperate, even with their junior groups debuting soon. - Speaking of the moon girls and the cosmic girls, as expected there were fanwars, but the massive hate thrown towards WJSN (particularly Exy) is ridiculous. - I hope that Kep1er manage to recover from this show, because it was BRUTAL for them. GP999 was already a nightmare, doing two survival shows back to back, facing off against experienced senior groups? I'm surprised it took this long for one of the members to crack. I hope Chaehyun is okay and she pulls through. I'll forever be mad at Mnet and Wakeone for doing this to them. - I always enjoy your reactions and your takes, I can't say I watch all the videos but will look forward to seeing you grow in the future!

2022-06-06 17:13:34 +0000 UTCDamn, that's fucking brilliant, and yes @crispychicken the ones that are marked the ones I've reacted to, oy vey 😅 that ain't much 🤣
Daniel Goland
2022-06-05 12:18:39 +0000 UTCGreat work! The ✔️ are the ones DG has already checked? Is there an easy way to check what he already has reacted to? That still leaves quite a few songs for him to check out 😂 And those are only the songs that were used in Queendom2. All these artists have a lot more great songs to check out! (maybe Kep1er being the exception) 😋 And then there's still the groups in Queendom1 😅 @DG in case you get bored let me give you some recommendations on those groups: Lovelyz - Ah-choo - Secret Garden - Lost N Found - Destiny - Cameo AOA - Like a cat - Miniskirt - Short hair - Get out - Heart attack Oh My Girl - The fifth season - Closer - Secret Garden - Echo - Remember me (G)-Idle - Latata - Senorita - Hwaa - Uh-Oh - I'm the trend Park Bom / 2ne1 - You and I - Come back home - Lonely - Ugly - Fire Mamamoo - Piano man - Um Oh Ah Yeah - Décalcomanie - Wind flower - gogobebe

2022-06-05 12:09:42 +0000 UTCSM certainly isn't the only one that had issues with putting up English subtitles. The older a video gets the less and less likely it will be that are subtitles. There are still some companies that tend not to put up subtitles for their artists' songs. There were some songs that came out in the last month or two that I was considering recommending, but they all ended up with no subtitles. Former Fiestar member Yezi came out with two great songs "No Name" and "Acacia", Choa finally released new music with "Yesterday" and despite all other videos on her channel being subtitled, the song wasn't, and several others I can't think of right now.

2022-06-05 11:59:29 +0000 UTCI share your enviousness of the ppl that got to watch DC at Primavera. It really looked like it was a blast.

2022-06-05 11:24:51 +0000 UTCi agree with most of you're feeling to me KEP1ER destroy this final with WJSN. to me the 2 best performance of this final and i also rank BRAVE GIRL ina top 3 . also disappointed by HYOLIN the less good song of this round i don't stan WAKA WAKA BOM BOM same feeling for LOONA something lack in a chorus and the almost full rap song didn't suit them for me . for VIVIZ i like them they're my bias with KEP1ER but they' seems stuck in they're FAIRY concept and even if that suit EUNHA perfectly i want to see SINB and UMJI more fierce .

2022-06-05 10:43:26 +0000 UTCOne more thing. As this the last episode of Queendom 2, I thought this would be the most appropriate place to put this. I've been keeping track of all the songs that the contestants sang on this show. Just in case you want to react to the original songs. I've made sure to find the videos with English subtitles. For some of them I had to dig a bit because the upload with the most views isn't always the one that has the subs. Sometimes the artist's own channel won't include subtitles and you have to go to the upload on 1theK to get those. Songs are in the order they appeared on the show. I've stuck to the songs that were actually performed in the competition. If I were to include every song that was ever mentioned or referenced on this show, this list would be thrice as long :D Some of these songs are b-sides without MVs, I've included a link to a colour coded lyric video in those cases. Opening Performances VIVIZ - not an existing song LOONA - Satellite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x1es9c84o0 (b-side lyric video); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hC8wu2pbJw (dance practice) Brave Girls - not an existing song WJSN - Secret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m2KBDBueAM WJSN - Save Me, Save You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNdoOharjeQ Kep1er - See the Light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oysG0XFCwY (lyric video, it's just an album intro) HYOLYN - 9lives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE7C5BKwmzA HYOLYN - Dally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoZFLCy-P-8 Round 1 GFRIEND - Time for the Moon Night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XyBa8QsVQU GFRIEND - Rough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VKcLPdY9lI SISTAR - Touch my body: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9txzvu6eQuw Kep1er - Wa Da Da ✔️ Brave Girls - Chi Mat Ba Ram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e70PkoJhQYM Brave Girls - Rollin': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cZrxpK2EAQ (this is the "clean" version.

And please don't feel pressured to react to all (or any) of this anytime soon. I just wanted to provide you with a convenient overview, that's all :)

2022-06-05 10:41:19 +0000 UTCAlright, let's get into my rankings for these final performances. This round was by far the hardest one to rank and I gotta say, I did not expect it to end up like this. I'm just ranking the performances and new songs in this episode, not the groups in regards to the entire competition as a whole. I already said that I 100% agree with WJSN being the winner and I stand by that. #6: VIVIZ Yeah, I'm with you on this one. I like that they could perform a song they wanted to do ages ago. But like you said, this did not feel like a finale performance to me. It's very beautiful and magical and this would have been awesome in one of the previous rounds but they needed to bring more here. And the song itself: I like it but it just doesn't reach the heights of the best that Gfriend had to offer. Compared to Rough, Time for the Moon Night, Navillera and songs that weren't performed on this show (Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu, Fingertip, Love Whisper, Labyrinth, Crossroads, Apple, Mago etc.), Red Sun just doesn't live up to those standards. That's probably a reason why it didn't make the cut on their previous albums. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Gfriend and I love Viviz, their music is very precious to me and I am so excited to see them in London. But they needed to do more for the finale in my opinion. The Bop Bop remix from the third round remains their best performance. #5: LOONA Oh boy. Please don't hate me for this 😅 First of all, they killed it. Awesome performance. Kim Lip and Heejin being DANGEROUS and then Haseul just wrecking my entire existence. Love the attitude, the confidence, the way they used the space on the stage. I just don't like this song. Listen, I've heard some weird ass choruses in my Kpop journey. Sticker by NCT 127? Love that shit. But this one ain't it. The way they're singing the chorus just kinda lacks impact and it's not a very pleasant listen. And because I am taking the songs themselves into account when ranking the finale, this just ends up that low. I'm sorry, I wish I liked this better but I don't. Never thought I would ever say this about my favourite group here. Well, I guess even your favourite artists have a song you don't vibe with every once in a while. #4: Hyolyn This was awesome, love it. Great song with an amazing feature. I really gotta check out Young Ji's own music because I love her on both this and Soyeon's song. Hyolyn is just doing what she does best, putting on an amazing live show. Great choreography, some stand out moments that you couldn't see well (thanks Mnet, you know what I mean) and the fact that her feature stuck around for the rest of the stage. There's just one thing and I don't know if it's even a valid critique: Hyolyn does the kind of performances that don't translate that well on a screen. You just have to be there in person to really appreciate it properly. #3: WJSN This song is amazing. Perfectly capturing the cosmic feel of their older title tracks with some aspects of their new direction from Unnatural sprinkled in there. Exy, you have created art. Thank you for sharing that with us. The stage feels a bit bare bones though. Especially after the explosion that was Pantomime in the last round. It does kinda fit the song but this is the finale so I would've liked to see just a couple more props. Something to spice it up a bit, you know? Regardless, they absolutely nailed this. The hand movements during that whistle part, Seola looking like she just descended from heaven. Minimalism but make it ✨ magical ✨ And for Queendom 2 overall, I really think that WJSN were the best team and they earned that win through hard work and consistency. I'm so happy that the voters thought so too. Looking forward to things to come and hoping that they still have a long and bright future ahead of them. And who knows, maybe they'll come to perform live in Europe too. Monsta X and IVE were just here, so I see no reason why Starship couldn't bring WJSN as well 👀 #2: Brave Girls I really did not expect this. But Brave Girls came through and made the best song for this last round. I love everything about this. BG doing what BG does best. Create an amazing summer hit with a chorus that gets stuck in your head forever. WHISTLE WHISTE WHIIIIIIIIIII Immaculate vibes, they had so much fun on this stage and it was an amazing performance to end this competition. I really don't have anything to critique about this. Brave Girls, please keep doing what you do and maybe come to Europe after your US tour is over? #1: Kep1er What. WTF just happened. Kep1er really just dropped the best finale performance on us? Well, at least in my subjective opinion, they did. I REALLY did not expect this. But this is how you do a finale. That fierce passion, the will to do everything it takes to win even with the odds stacked against you. Hikaru is a born performer, Chaehyun's high note just did not end and holy shit BAHIYYIH?!? She shone in a way I have never seen from her. Kep1er might have ended up in 5th overall but they pulled out all the stops for the finale. I just hope that Chaehyun gets all the rest she needs now.

2022-06-05 10:32:23 +0000 UTCExpensive electricity bills for an Air Conditioner, that's how I survive the summer :) It's literally 36C right now, and it's only gonna get worse with the months, yay summer...

2022-06-05 06:14:18 +0000 UTC- And so it begins, the milking of the results. - Eunha and Seola is me with literally any girl or guy I'm interested in ever - When I watched the episode first, the subtitles literally said (insert song lyrics here) - „I hope you don't burn out.“ Well, unfortunately Chaehyun did exactly that... - More specifically, Heejin asked if she can call Taeyeon „unnie“ after the show. Which is something you usually only do with someone you're close with. - Very nice performance to close out the season. - Dreamcatcher could be part of Queendom 3! At least I hope that it'll happen and that DC are on it. They would absolutely rip everything to shreds. Side note, I am EXTRAORDINARILY envious of all the people who just got to see them at that festival in Barcelona. From what I heard they absolutely killed it. A full hour instead of the pathetic 15 minutes that I got to see them for here in Germany. Dreamcatcher, I need that Europe tour, PLEASE. - Well, I am paying for the whole reaction, so I'm going to watch the WHOLE reaction. - I'll definitely stick around. Don't worry, you're not gonna get rid of me that easily :) - I have been spoiled in the most stupid way possible: a community post on my front page from a random channel I'm not even subscribed to. I was at work, nothing to do so I opened Youtube on my phone to see what my subscriptions had uploaded and maybe pick something to watch later. And what was literally the first thing I see when I opened the app? That motherfucking community post with the winner in a giant picture that was impossible to ignore. I'm not gonna expose which channel it was here but still, a major Fuck You to the owner of that channel. You ruined my surprise, dickhead. - You are most definitely biased. But so is everyone. - God, I hate how long they're stretching this part. - Dayoung, I'm with you. - Imagine if a competition show like this existed for Metal bands. Or maybe it already does? Electric Callboy vs. Imminence for example, could be interesting :D - Yeojin can't take it anymore and just drops to the floor. - Even with the knowledge of who won, this part was still excruciating to sit through. - Trust issues - ngl, your descent into madness is very entertaining - I'll already say this right now: WJSN absolutely 100% deserved this win. They were the most consistent, always moving forward, always improving. While I would've loved Loona to win, this is actually still my ideal scenario. Right from the start I said that I want either Loona or WJSN to win and the other group to come in second and that is exactly what happened. - It's actually kinda insane that Loona even got second place with zero points for the first round. If they hadn't gotten Covid, they would have won. No doubt. (But then we wouldn't have gotten that amazing final Brave Girls performance, so I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to feel about all this) - Look at how happy Dayoung is :) I AM DONE. Watching your reactions always takes a lot longer for me because I have to pause to write my comments. I'm gonna go to bed now and talk about my rankings tomorrow. For now I'll just say thank you for letting us be part of your Queendom journey.

2022-06-05 02:23:17 +0000 UTCEXY and SOYEON was both in UNPRETTY RAPSTAR and both show how great rapper and song writer they are . so yes they're not leader for nothing and even if SOYEON got the reputation of the best female idol rapper . A well deserve title EXY as more experience and she also a great all rounder . not many people put enough credit on EXY but WJSN is great because she as a large part of they're success they win because of EXY and they're amazing team work and creativity .

2022-06-05 01:26:57 +0000 UTCBrave Girls - I'm sorry but what kind of CEO want's his group to place last just to create a story. Brave Bros, you're a bit of a cuck too, ain't ya? - Think about it, if Loona hadn't gotten Covid, Brave Girls would've placed sixth in the first two rounds and they wouldn't even be here for this finale. They were actually so lucky in this regard. - But their time on Queendom really is a condensed version of their career as a whole. - The Korean word for summer is 여름 (yeoreum). So yeah, the WJSN member is literally named „Summer“. That's kinda neat :) - The miserably failed attempt at trying to hide that it's a Mercedes 😂 - Good thing they're only four members, otherwise fitting in that car would've been a challenge. - First time they're not using handheld mics on this show. - One thing right now: out of all the finale songs themselves, this one is my favourite. But is the performance as a whole also my favourite? Stay tuned for my future comments to find out ;) - Yes, this is a pure Brave Girls song through and through. I think I have mentioned this before: Brave Girls have two general concepts, Summer and Retro. And out of all of their summer songs, Whistle is my favourite. - 40°C? How are you still alive? - Oh my god, thank you so much! That just made my day that you even thought of my Birthday, thank you! - So they really just announced Yves and Choerry but didn't even let Choerry speak?

2022-06-05 00:54:51 +0000 UTCVIVIZ /BRAVE GIRLS . to me they got similar type of performance they try to tell us a story and usualy i like it because that the kind of perf you expect in QUEENDOM ( set , props , story telling ,and scenery ) but i think than IVIVZ are to old now to stay stuck in a fairy concept (ok Eunha could be the fairy for ever ) but SINB and UMJI are older and more mature than in GFRIEND i want to see them with a girl crush concept . but at the end VIVIZ end at the 3rd rank and i was very happy for them because my original prediction for the top 3 was 1HYOLIN 2 WJSN 3 VIVIZ I got everything wrong but 2of my groups are in a top 3 at the end . for BRAVE GIRLS great scenery very SUMMER vibe , very catchy song . but yeh sadly they end at the last place .
