Viral moments from Mnet ‘Queendom 2’s Opening show.

#1 WJSN and Brave Girls' awkward silence

Brave Girls were the first artists to walk on set, followed by fellow 2016 debut group WJSN aka Cosmic Girls. Fans loved the interaction between WJSN’s SeolA and Brave Girls members as she asked them if they knew who the other groups on the show were. Being shy, Brave Girls members did not know what to reply and ended up saying, “We don’t know.”

#2 WJSN being shocked by Loona’s 12 members

As soon as the 2018 debut group Loona entered, WJSN members appeared to be shocked because of the number of its members. Fans joked that WJSN, who have 13 members themselves, had no business being shocked at Loona’s 12 member lineup. One fan said, “Nothing funnier than wjsn acting surprised as if 1. they don't know loona 2. They didn’t used to be 13 members strong.”

#3 Loona appreciating ‘Wa Da Da’ by Kep1er

While Kep1er, being a 2022 group, are the maknaes on ‘Queendom 2’ (according to their age), they are still one of the most popular groups on the show. As soon as the nine members of Kep1er made their entry on ‘Queendom’, Loona members complimented their debut single, ‘Wa Da Da’, and shocked them by doing one of the hook steps from the song.

#4 Kep1er Yeseo 2005 born

Kep1er is the youngest group on the show and as soon as they made their entry, WJSN members inquired about the maknae of Kep1er. Upon asking who the maknae was, Yeseo answered it was her. They then asked her how old she was. As Yeseo revealed she was a 2005 liner, members of WJSN and Brave Girls were shocked as they were all older than Yeseo by 10 or more years.

#5 VIVIZ SinB and WJSN Yeoreum

One of the funniest interactions on the show was between SinB of VIVIZ and Yeoreum of WJSN. VIVIZ members were making their debut for the second time after having been a part of the 2015 debut group GFriend. WJSN members, who are juniors to GFriend, started wondering if they would have to treat members of VIVIZ formally or informally. VIVIZ’s SinB who heard WJSN’s discussion ended up calling member Yeoreum informally on the show as SinB was heard saying, “Ya Yeoreum-ah,” to which Yeoreum reacted in an extremely exaggerated way which sent fans on a laugh riot.

#6 WJSN Dayoung cleaning Hyolyn’s chair

When the final contestant, a soloist, was introduced as a 2010 debuted idol, all other contestants were shocked as it turned out to be the senior-most participant on ‘Queendom 2’. Out of respect, WJSN’s Dayoung was seen wiping the empty chair before Hyolyn was introduced, leading fans to enjoy the peak antics from WJSN members.

#7 Hyolyn’s entry

Hylolyn, the senior-most contestant on Mnet’s ‘Queendom 2’, was the last to be introduced. Fans loved the way other contestants reacted to her entry and also were shocked by the aura she radiated on the opening show.
