"Queendom 2" may have only started, but it's already making some controversies. Following the much-awaited song-switch round, an issue about video editing now emerges.
On Wednesday, March 30, the online production presentation of "Queendom 2" was held and its hosts, producer and director talked about the show. Here, producer Lee Yeon Gyu addressed the video editing controversy the series is experiencing this early.
In the previously released teaser video, via AllKpop, the cast seemed to be on the edge as the setting turned cold. Everyone seemed to be in an argument, making it look like there was tension between them.
Some accused Mnet of editing the video that way, especially they are known for "evil editing." With that said, Lee Yeon Gyu broke her silence about it.
She believed the viewers' level of standard had now become higher. So instead of saying they edited the video to cause drama, she revealed their main objective was to show "everything without hiding anything."
She added everyone sweated, practiced and worked on featuring their four-minute performance, so they were all dealing with that in a "more sincere and greater way." "We'll try our best to show the performance of the six people perfectly," she promised.
Meanwhile, a spoiler image for "Queendom 2" has become a hot topic online due to the speculations about the songs that each of the artists will perform in the series, per Koreaboo. For this season, the show features Brave Girls, VIVIZ, Cosmic Girls, LOONA, Kep1er and Hyolyn.
The girls will perform on March 31 at 9:20 p.m. KST. Everyone has already wrapped up their recordings for the competition's second round. They will be doing the "Song-Switch" round, which was also seen in the first season and "Kingdom."
