The global audience response is also appearing in various regions such as Thailand and Singapore, including Korea. Right after the broadcast, keywords related to the broadcast such as 'QUEENDOMPUZZLE', 'Rush Hour', and 'JIHAN' went up and down on Twitter's real-time trend. Contest songs such as 'Let's Become One Page' and 'Things I Believed to be Love' were also ranked in real-time search on major domestic music sites.
On this day's broadcast, Team Queendom and Puzzle Team clashed in three rounds of vocal & rap stages. In a situation where the puzzle team, which is composed of strong players such as Kei and Bora (Cherry Bullet), in addition to Nana (woo!ah!), Jihan (Weeekly), and Suyun (RocketPunch), members of the previous battle winning team, is expected to dominate, the puzzle team is Queendom. He gained a real advantage by winning two consecutive victories against the team.
In the first round, the puzzle team 'Rush Hour' (Crush, Nana, Suyun, Yeoreum, Yeeun, Yuki, Joa) created an exciting stage with the concept of 'communication with the audience'. During the rehearsal, they focused on the stage composition, causing concerns that the chords were not properly organized, but they beat 'Weekend' (Taeyeon, Seoyeon, Sujin, Yeonhee, JooE) who came out in the back. However, 'Weekend' also started with Sujin's 'silent movie' idea, and various devices were added to draw attention, and the members received support for the refreshing tone of the city pop style arrangement.
In the second round, Puzzle Team Bora and Kay faced off against Queendom Team Dohwa, Juri, Jiwoo and Pie. The puzzle team, which chose “Can we meet again?” (Lim Young-woong), overwhelmed the scene with outstanding singing skills worthy of the main vocalist who believes and listens. The Queendom team, who sang 'What I Believed to be Love' (Big Naughty), created a stage with a deep lingering effect through excellent teamwork and clever distribution of parts. The second round, which boasted such high quality, ended with the victory of the puzzle team.
The Queendom team 'To Be One Page' (DAY6, Miru, Soeun, Elly, Chaerin, Huiseo) and the puzzle team 'WANNABE' (ITZY, Riina, Sanga, Coincidence, Jiwon, Jihan), who received a lot of attention even before the broadcast, We met in the 3rd round. The 'WANNABE' stage, which was reborn as a rock version, attracted attention with rich attractions such as Jihan's electric guitar solo and Sanga's performance in the audience.
The Queendom team went on stage with the support of Young K, the original composer of “To Become One Page” and the lyricist of “Roses Blooming Between Buildings” by High Key. They enjoyed the stage to the fullest, following Young K's advice, "Rather than thinking it's a band song, enjoy it." Above all, the concept of the movie 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' and the performance of leaving Polaroid photos with the audience during the stage added heat to the scene.
The result of the fierce third round will be revealed on the 6th broadcast on the 18th. In the 6th episode, following vocal & rap, the dance showdown between the two teams is expected to continue. Can the Queendom Team, who recorded two consecutive losses, steal the energy from the Puzzle Team and win 20,000 Benefit Points?
In the 7th special live broadcast scheduled for the 25th, 'Queendom Puzzle' will announce the interim results of the combination vote. The elimination of some members will be confirmed on this day. The viewer union vote for the 5th week will be held until 8:00 pm on the 18th.
