Korean broadcast channel Mnet has released its Queendom Puzzle 2023 Lineup, and it is looking impeccably good. This show is a reality television spin-off of the original Queendom. While the original generally focuses on girl groups and their comeback performances, this show will feature former and current girl group members to their comebacks. It is a performance-based show and generally has artists release some singles in preparation for the show premiering soon.
All of these individual artists (most of them belonging to their respective K-pop groups) will be collaborating to form a special unit group at the end of the competition. Generally, the original Queendom goes on for 10 weeks. It consists of 3 preliminary performances and 1 live comeback stage from each act. However, since this spin-off has still not aired on South Korean television, there isn’t much news about what the format for this edition of the reality show is going to be like. What we do know is that Taeyeon will be coming back as the MC in this version of the show as well.
Through the teaser, it was revealed that she would be coming back, as well as the dates when the original videos would be released. The broadcast channel shared that they will have original videos releasing on May 18 and May 25, 2023. Without any further ado, here is the Queendom Puzzle Lineup.

Fans are also given the opportunity to see these videos and comment to see whether it has been going well or not. These videos were \ released during the MNET COUNTDOWN broadcast, where audiences can see and vote for these videos, sending them either to the top or letting them fall below. The name Puzzle is inspired by the concept that the show will separate these members from their general groups and fit them with other performers like puzzle pieces.
Depending on their approach to the song and the performance, global fans, audience members at the show and assessment by the judges are important aspects in determining the person going ahead of others. Finally, audience members will have eliminated enough members in order to make a super girl group featuring only the best singers, dancers and performers. All of the Queendom Puzzle contestants will be given the chance to put their best foot forward. This is only the original lineup so far. It may soon change with the progression of the episodes.
Queendom Puzzle will be broadcast on Mnet from June 13, 2023, at 10:00 PM KST. How excited are you to see these girl group members compete against each other in an attempt to form a super unit? Let us know in the comments below.
