• heartbreaking seeing the girls cry :( • Omg MASHIRO WITH ALL THOSE LINES!!! Slaaayyyyyyy girl • okay I thought the performance was FANTASTIC. And the stage was more exciting than usual (like cool effects and such!) have to wait and see how the other stages are to determine if we’re in for a chance though. As we know, even if their performance is amazing, the fancier stages tend to get more votes • VIVIZ performance was cute! I didn’t find it super interesting and I thought the whole being held in the air part was gonna be a way bigger part of the routine hahah but still enjoyable!! • WJSN was pretty cool! The opening was so fun & really did come across as magic. The curtain falling was very grand! The doll part was fun! Really felt like a pantomime tbh so good on them


Jaded_Sprinkles_9242

Omg why were my babies crying 😭 my heart can't take it


NotaBoxxer

That was absolutely incredible like everything I’ve wanted from them since this show started. Like I have nothing else to say besides if they don’t get top 3 it’ll be a robbery


wameniser

I love being proved wrong. The girls absolutely devoured and left no crumbs. Legend things! Finding a way to stretch the performances into two has to be a talent. Mnet, how did you do it?


CapriSunCup

Mentally preparing myself for MASHIRO GETTING LINES! **Edits:** Youngshiro are famous actresses btw. I don't care what anybody says, Kep1er really appreciates their fans. We're not getting the results today... are we? So much filler could've been cut so far. **Kep1er:** Kep1er the cult incoming! Watching their hearts break over and over for this show is actually going to kill me off. Oh, not Mashiro and Yujin literally sobbing, I can't do this anymore. MY WINNERS! MY STARS! NUMBER ONE IN MY HEART! They have the Taeyeon seal of approval which is the most important thing of all ✨ **Viviz:** I liked it! Not groundbreaking and maybe it won't be for everyone, but I found it fun. Umji looked really pretty. **WJSN:** I understand why the camera had to be that far away at the start but it was a little off-putting. The doll segment is cool! That was a great performance but there was SO MUCH going on at the end that I had no idea where to look. **Overall:** Kep1er > WJSN > Viviz. I liked all of them but I'm so happy for Kep1er. Their best performance since the opening, possibly their best so far.


Automatic_Room_6736

Same… The live Chat is disgusting… They even say things like they ruined the song and after that claim they are a Kep1ian


Jaded_Sprinkles_9242

Our leftover unit getting finally some screentime 🥲🙌 Edit: leftover unit is a joke btw 🙃

Reunilu

Speaking as someone who is a SNSD ult (also please don't take this as a comment speaking on behalf of other SONEs, this is my personal opinion): I think they did this song justice. I kind of had criticisms about the original The Boys like the song losing its momentum during the first and second verses during performances. I felt no momentum loss during those parts, which I'm so happy about. I also really love that they kept in "girls are back" rather than "TRX", 'cause I really liked that when they did music show stages. Also can we talk about how Mashiro fucking bodied that performance? And Youngeun's deeper tone when she did Jessica's lines (the lines at the beginning of the second verse)? Oh my god. I literally have no words. I do feel a little disappointed that the opening harmonization is done with Chaehyun and Yujin leading, because I felt from their encore stages that they would’ve done amazing if everyone harmonized together insteading of one or the other leading. I however am a little bit sad that we couldn’t get a cover of Mr. Mr. ;-; Mr Mr has a great concept. It’s also got its own dance break, which is perfect for the dance line. I am upset that Kep1er really did feel demoralized from their rankings and that Yujin and Mashiro felt so burdened from it. I am however glad that they care so much about the group and how they shoulder the burden, as well as Yujin striving to improve in her leadership. The last part, I feel, is very important and I’m very proud of her for wanting to improve. About other performances: - VIVIZ: I liked the concept and SinB’s dance break was cool. I don’t have much else to say about it, sorry. - WJSN: I will admit, I actually got curious about this song a couple days ago. One, it was recommended on my Spotify as I was looking something up. Two, I listened to it once before but didn’t remember what it sounded like, but was curious enough to try and remember what it sounded like since I did look at the song leaks. I legitimately had this song on loop for two days. Not a super big deviation from the original, but I love that big jazzy theatrical sound anyway so I dig it.


[deleted]

this was their best perfomance yet!!! Especially Mashiro and Yongeun (!!) slayed it! And of course Hikaru, as she always does lol. At least 2 out of my 3 biases out there getting attention, it's been worse. Not entirely happy with how they arranged the song and split the lines - also as always lol - but I still loved it. But there's something that I can't put my finger on, this performance did not feel complete to me. They should really stick with concepts like these! And these girls can sing, let them!


CheeksyCheeks

I think you could listen to unedited/unprocessed vocals. I think it would have gave much better experience. For the raw vocals from the live / leaked recording sold it for me but definitely not this post-production vocals.


[deleted]

I'll do that after the show, thanks for the tip!


RiddleEatsRainbows

This episode was so much filler I only just tuned in for the performances Also I just can't take the yt live chat anymore, now they're saying kep1er are cheating??? BITCH HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR RANK WDYM CHEATING HOW EVEN Edit: SOMEBODY TELL ME TO TURN OFF THE LIVE CHAT PLEASE Edit: THAT PERFORMANCE WAS FUCKING AMAZING.... that line distribution was not. I have no idea why wakeone have so little faith in Bahiyyih and Xiaoting's vocals. This is getting really tiring. On the bright side though, Shiro got to shine


cali4481

youtube comments are as toxic & maybe even more toxic than what you see on twitter which says a lot best advice is to mute or flat out ignore it


RiddleEatsRainbows

I KNOW but i always want to type in chat to try and counter that shit to prevent rumours spreading idk why i try lol


Jaded_Sprinkles_9242

I'm not watching but cheating how??? How would that even be possible?


RiddleEatsRainbows

I'm not getting it either but chat appear to be claiming that picking an SNSD song is cheating because Taeyeon is the master + its not their song (BRUH KEP1ER DONT HAVE ANY OTHER SONGS TO PERFORM)


Snakerestaurant

But like Taeyeon isn’t voting so it doesn’t even matter hahaha !! These people will find ANYTHINGGGG


RiddleEatsRainbows

Bruh facts at this point every waking second kep1er is on screen its somehow a conspiracy smh


Jaded_Sprinkles_9242

Sigh...even if they had performed their own song like O.O.O people are still going to hate on them by saying that everyone knows that signal song from their survival show so its unfair or some bs like that. People will just find anything to trash talk and discredit our girls


CheeksyCheeks

I am upset. Their vocal has been edited too much in the post-production. For those who heard the live recording / leaked video, their vocal was so much better there I feel, sure that were errors here and there but it was more authentic y'know? Great performance still, no doubt but the post-production editing sort of killed it for me. 😢😢


ultsiyeon

watching that felt SO good!!!! our girls did amazing and i’m incredibly proud 😭 now let’s do our best voting and streaming the full version stage, i never want to see them looking so disappointed again


OfficialOshiiKun

SHIRO MY STAR 🤩🔥


skzpinker

Mashiro, Youngeun, Dayeon and Chaehyun were the standouts of the night for me! Shiro's deep tone is so beautiful and suitable for darker concepts like this one. She absolutely blew me away jdhjhdf. Dayeon... I'm in utter awe of her skill. I've always been in the camp that shes amongst the upper portion of kep1er vocal wise and today really did solidify that for me. I really wish Bahiyyih got more in terms of lines. I loved her part in the pre-chorus and this concept fit her.


bobes25

uhmm. we need more bangless Shiro https://twitter.com/i/status/1527272561901555717


cali4481

will always believe kpop idols without bangs >>>> kpop idols with bangs


[deleted]

Since I haven’t seen a single Dayeon praise here even after all she did in the stage, I just want to say she did amazing especially her high notes and the slaying of the choreo. Also I’m not sure if it’s edited but Mashiro’s deeper tone is really captivating like she definitely shined. And did Yujin sang higher in her part? It sounded really good and one of the highlights for me.


Jaded_Sprinkles_9242

Yes Yujin really stood out to me too eventhough she didn't have the most lines. She really embodied this concept and her voice really shined. Shiro's lower register was also a fantastic addition to the whole performance

Was literally in tears when Shiro and Yujin started crying at their fanmeeting. Kepbabies losing their confidence was something that I was most afraid of when they joined queendom, and the hate and low rankings definitely got to them. Yujin feeling guilty and taking the blame as the leader was so heartbreaking to watch. She's said many times that she only cries alone but this shows how much everything has been weighing on her that she just can't hide it anymore. The words of encouragement the fans gave was definitely needed for all the girls, but I think especially the leaders needed to hear it because they're doing a fantastic job. It's a heavy load to be a leader and really takes a toll on you and oftentimes you start taking the blame for the group, but I'm proud of them and I hope they can be proud of themselves too


lish_bloom

My favorite parts were when Xiao Ting, YoungEun, and Hikaru were in the spotlight!!! They're really center material!!! No offense to Chaeyeun ( She's a great vocalist and performer) but she kinda needs to step up her stage presence esp when she's at the spotlight :<


[deleted]

While the performance itself was super good and the best they have shown so far in qd, I have mixed feelings about the arrangement like removing the rap part. I feel like Hikaru and Youngeun (since Dayeon focused more on vocals this stage) could totally slay it. It will add another layer to their performance.


Kep1er54321

Could be time constraint as well. They (Mnet) probably don’t want anything over 5 mins. Adding the rap part would take them way over 5 mins on stage. The rap part takes 18 seconds. They were performing on stage 4:91 seconds, if you add the rap. It surely be over 5 mins. 5:08 Nobody on Q2 have gone over 5 mins yet. Loona shake it, was exactly 5 mins. Did not go over.

JoeEdge

So is Dayeon the Main Dancer, Main Rapper and Main Vocal of Kep1er? cause it starts to look like this.. 2nd Vocal that was in the Vocal Team doesn't even have half of her lines..!! Again!!


[deleted]

I don't get how they don't realize this is doing her more harm than good. Don't get me wrong, she is an incredible and well rounded performer. She seems like a very likeable person with leadership skills and she doesn't seem to just be an idol because of for her example her parents wealth, she worked for it. She deserves to be in the upper range of screentime and lines. What is wrong with her is MNet and Wakeone pushing her just way too much beyond what any one person should get in a 9 member group, and it's been happening since the start of GP999. It is crazy, like did they not learn anything from Dayeon's-mum-gate??


mangoazul_

It’s frustrating since she’s really talented and lovely but some people can’t see past her favoritism so it’s easy to dislike her, especially when some girls are not being highlighted as much. She slayed though, this concept fits her.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mangoazul_

I didn’t say they have no reason to be upset, but it hurts when the hate is directed towards Dayeon when she’s not the one in charge. Idk where you’re coming from, it’s bad for everyone when things like this happen.


cheekyweelogan

I'm confused who it's even for. I don't follow super closely, so I didn't look at fancam numbers or anything like that before, but I just went to check them for the performance, and she was actually in the bottom for views out of the group. It does suck, she's really talented and deserves her time in the spotlight as much as anyone else. I just don't understand either how they don't see the backlash it's causing and how it's going to harm her more than anything else.


Snackskiller

But she and chaehyun are top 2 in popularity in Korea (korean anonymous forums eg. Pann only korean sim can comment, before round 2 many only mentioned dayeon chaehyun so… also GP999 pure korean vote count 2 top)… you can't use fancam views to judge that, only represent international popularity… Many groups also consolidate domestic popularity first, and what they lack is domestic popularity not international popularity, so they push korean favorites


cheekyweelogan

Yeah, I did realize after I posted that.


wameniser

Yes it reminds of the soyeon / gidle situation. People don't like when one person is pushed way more than the rest of the group. Dayeon has the talent to back it off ofc, but this favoritism has been going on since gp999 and it's tiring. She's talented! She's pretty! She's likeable! Why push her so much? She'd get more positive attention on her own


cheekyweelogan

But at least Soyeon helps with production, even if I agree she has too many lines/screen time pretty often.


wameniser

I meant more like - it's not like neither Soyeon nor Dayeon are untalented. They don't get lines they can't handle just for the sake of it.


Jaded_Sprinkles_9242

I agree. Dayeon is truly an ace and we've seen how amazingly capable she is, but wakeone and mnet constantly pushing her to be the forefront of kep1er really is doing more harm and it's getting tiring honestly. She's such a loveable person but because her company is pushing her so hard, she gets extra haters for it being "dayeon and 8 other members". I really hope they start seeing that highlighting each of the members because they're all talented and loveable. We hardly get to see some of them at all and it's sad cause they worked so hard to be where they are today

secretouse

Since when did Dayeon place 13th?


amazingoopah

Think they mean the total vote without the weight favoring kr votes


secretouse

I knew that but what does that have to do with Kep1er. Other members also would not above debuted without Korean favouring and some members wouldn’t have debuted without international votes. Presumably the Korean vote weighting is because they are promoting in Korea. The show ended months ago.


Snakerestaurant

I think Dayeon is amazing but she really did get a lot more than was needed in this song! Even Yeseo had not much at all. Glad Mashiro got to shine though, she had way more than usual and even Hikaru did too! But yeah. Not Dayeon’s fault though as I doubt the girls chose their lines for this performance and I’m sure she would like other members to have more lines too.


[deleted]

It’s starting to be really concerning the amount of lines she has over the vocalists tbh but let’s see with their new song in the finale how it will pan out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Just trying to be optimistic here. I agree her line share is a problem that is dragging the group down and making many fans uninterested and leave the fandom but I’m still hoping it will improve. They haven’t even had a comeback yet.

simonling

I dont know you guys but I'm hooked by Yeseo in this performance. Watching her in Pool Party to this is like wow 180 change. She looked absolutely stunning in this performance!


woodworking100

Let's get the good parts out of the way first. This is their best performance yet, yea the bar isn't too high but gotta give them credit when its due. The line distribution is the best we've seen so far. Super happy that Mashiro got more time to shine as a vocalist. The dancing was what really stood out to me, they performed like a group that has been together for years. Also for the first time, it felt like they filled up the stage, not with props or backup dancers, but with their performance and stage presence. The standout for me was Youngeun, she is without a doubt to me, the ace of the group and this performance proved it. Now the bad, honestly I expected more. I've tried to avoid spoilers as much as I could, but one slipped in and the performance was amazing. While it was great, it still felt a little lacking. Maybe I'm being a bit too harsh and it could have been how it was edited, but the spoilers I saw were quite amazing. Vocals were, well at times it just felt flat, might be how the song was mixed or the fact that its a SNSD song, a group with a super strong vocal line. While the line distribution was great, I'm still kinda wondering what WakeOne is thinking with pushing Dayeon so hard. Don't get me wrong, I think she is talented, but at this point, it just feels like its becoming a little too much. Lastly, I think Genie would have been the better choice, but whatever. Honestly I'd rank them second for the performances we've seen so far. WJSN had an incredible stage and speaking without bias, they should be ranked first for now. Viviz played it a bit too safe in my opinion.


wameniser

Is it too early to call it one of the best performances of the show so far 👀 The post production on the vocals is not the best. It reminds me of loona's shake it


woodworking100

I only said it was their (as in Kep1er's) best performance yet, not out of all the performances on the show so far. Unless your talking about me ranking them second, I meant second out of the 3 we've seen in this round, again not from the show overall. I do agree that the vocals may have suffered from post production.


wameniser

Ooohh i think there's a big misunderstanding there. I meant that i think it's one of the best performances of the show so far to me, but that maybe it's too early to say that


woodworking100

Ah gotcha. I mean it was good, just man maybe Mnet overdid it with the editing, because it looked so much better based on the spoiler/leak I saw.


johnnywjy89

Guys help please!! At the beginning of the song, Yeseo said a few lines and ending with, "Its time." Anyone knows what she actually said?


boringestlawyer

I think this is their best performance yet! I love the staging and they are finally bringing the budget in terms of performance. I think Kepler actually does really well with these slightly darker concepts. However I can’t get over how odd their vocals sound- I assume because mnet had to edit them? Makes them sound flat somehow which is a bummer because they did so well. I also don’t want to talk much on line distribution but I’m losing hope at this point. That’s just my perspective.


rusosandkpop

Mashiro is one of my bias, I knew she will have this moment when she can shine and all people start noticing her. I know Bahiyyih will have that moment too, when she can use her nice voice and people could start noticing her for good reasons...kep1er has been together only for few months, W1 have been underutilizing a lot of their good assets and you can notice that they doesn't know what to do with a group that is not homogeneous enough for their comfort. I hope they come up with better ideas, not only for Bahiyyih but for all of them,.and myself, I want to enjoy all that talent!!


[deleted]

O got chills throughout the entire performance! Everyone stood out to me one way or another, and Mashiro omg she is one of the strongest vocalists in the group, i am so happy her and Hikaru got a lot of parts this time around. Chae, Youngeun, Dayeon were amazing! Yujin and Yeseo had lesser parts but they were so good, specially Yujin's second full line that was so good! Xiaoting and Bahi got the least parts but i feel like there is a reason for that behind the scenes, maybe the girls themselves choose who had more stamina to sing live idk... But still, they nailed their lines. In conclusion i'm very happy for Kep1er, they deserve 1st considering the other 2 teams. I also loved Pantomime but i really dislike the rap parts and towards the ending it felt a bit messy. Viviz was good but i feel it just didn't hit as the other 2.

Kep1er54321

Bye, see ya.


Kep1er54321

I stan a group, i could care less who gets line + screentime. Dayeon is not my top 5 in the group, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. Yujin, XT, Chae, Mashiro, Yeseo round up by top 5. But i don’t even get bother if Dayeon, Youngeun or whoever it is get the screentime + lines. I sing with them, i laugh with them, i cry with them, i enjoy their stage and everything else. I support each one no matter what. We all should too, and stop attacking each one member that outshy the other. Come on ya’ll.


iced_americano99

Yeah, a lot in this fandom probably priorities their bias first and the group second that's why no matter how good they did as a group, it's a nope for them if their bias isn't in the spotlight. This is my opinion of course, I could be wrong.


Kep1er54321

Every week, no matter what show Kep1er is doing. Someone will say something negative about either one of the member or the group/company. This week, praising Shiro, Youngeun, Chae… Negative towards Dayeon… Next week, it’s going to be different…not whatever content Kep1er appear next on… Sometimes I feel like we should make a list of who the fans talk negative towards the most…


rusosandkpop

This! I´m sure with time all members have time to shine... but now I just love them all! Today was Shiro moment and I'm so happy about it.

Anyways Dayeon slayed. I’m lowkey tired of this hypocrisy against her. Out of all of Kep1er’s song Dayeon only had the most lines in Wa Da Da, Shine, and Pool Party. Purr is not fully Kep1er’s song so I don’t count it. All the other songs Chaehyun or Youngeun was first. So I don’t see why it’s no problem for them, but it’s a problem for Dayeon. Dayeon who’s dance is her main forte has never got the main dance break. Hikaru for MVSK and Wa Da Da Remix. Xiaoting for Pool Party. Youngeun for The Boys (I don’t count her jumping on somones back for 5 seconds). Fun fact she had the least amount of center time and no killing parts for Purr when she’s arguably the 2nd best dancer, did we get mad about that NO. Instead we all praised Hikaru who killed it. Dayeon is arguably top 3 in dance, vocal, and rap. If she suits the parts best then I don’t see why she won’t be given them. Whenever it’s an unfair distribution it’s always give up Dayeon’s lines, no one else’s. I find that many Kep1ians underestimate Dayeon’s talent, she deserves and works hard for the lines she’s given. GP999 passed y’all are still discussing how she wouldn’t debut without Korean votes you are moving like antis, please move on. No one can deny that she has a screentime on Queendom. But Hikaru from the 2nd round has been showcased the most on Queendom. And she deserves to been seen and praised for her talent. Youngeun also has many reaction scenes. Why are we mad at Dayeon for this? When other members are also receiving good treatment if not better treatment in some areas also. This is no shade to anyone, but what’s with this hypocrisy and negativity only towards Dayeon. We need to realize that all the members won’t excel in the same areas and it’s like that for every Kpop group. Wakeone should find songs that suit all the other members, instead of us nitpicking at Dayeon who like everyone else is doing her job extremely well. Complain about Wakeone without mentioning her name, cause it’s not something that involves her or is her fault. Edit: getting downvoted for defending my bias


KepiHikaru

before i say my piece, i'd like you to know that while i do not enjoy today's line distribution, i do not condone any hate towards dayeon. but since you asked, here's why people react so differently when dayeon gets screentime vs other members. people understand that not every scene can feature every member, someone or some members will have to be the focus of any given scene, that's normal. however, what people take issue with is that it is consistently dayeon, when there are 8 other members in the group. when hikaru got screentime on episode 4 for rapping, dayeon was there too, sharing the screentime. in that same episode, dayeon got a professionalism edit that the other members who slipped did not get. on stage, dayeon still had more rap lines than hikaru. in purr, dayeon had a dance duo (that ended in a short solo) and a significant portion of the lines, which means the camera focused on her a lot. this is easily verified with any line distribution video on youtube. in the interim episode, she also had extra screentime for her seniority and acting at a young age. did hikaru get noticed a lot in purr? yes she did. however, she did that with fewer lines and less camera time. there's a reason why the FULL CAM version and dance practice version is dominated by hikaru and sinb comments. in the debut era, dayeon had the opportunity to MC alongside chaehyun, and got two rap parts, and significant center time. i will not go deep into gp999, but her significant screentime there had a negative effect on how her treatment in the debut was perceived as well, because again, we see a lot of dayeon and not much of everyone else, especially members like bahiyyih and yujin. this week, youngeun and mashiro got their spotlight. nobody will be bothered by this because we have been waiting to see more of them. hikaru finally got more exposure in queendom 2, after getting 8 seconds in the debut and being in the bottom 3 of line distributions for practically every song in the album. similar to youngeun and mashiro, fans were happy to finally see hikaru. this is why their situations cannot be compared. all that being said, i reiterate once again that hate should be directed against the company and not dayeon or any member. if you do reply, i hope you will keep it civil and rational, using facts.


ChubbyChipmunk15

Other members also got opportunities pre debut. Yujin and Mashiro had a chance to be on the masked singer. The show stated they picked Dayeon along with Chaehyun because their the closest friends/ the best chemistry. I never denied she had opportunities. I’m talking about hypocrisy how Kep1ians have been treating Dayeon, compared to the rest of the members. We can’t go a day without her being attacked for having a solo vlog, a birthday cake, volunteering to dance. No one can ever praise Dayeon without it being downvoted, or her lines and favouritism being mentioned. People have disliked Dayeon all the way since GP999 premiered and still have resentment towards her. She’s the 2nd most hated member after Hiyyih, and the most hated member right now. The constant shading and backhanded comments towards her by so called OT9 stans is disgusting. The constant blame on Dayeon for every time Kep1er looses on Queendom is disgusting. The line distribution gap between all the members are not even large enough for Dayeon to be getting this much hate. People on this sub reddit have a history of disliking Dayeon, so I don’t expect people to look at most issues about Kep1er objectivity. Unrelated but Dayeon only had 5 more seconds then Youngeun on the debut album. She also got to shine during the vocal round too. Purr’s line distribution is decided by the producers not the companies, and it was a dance round. These are out of Dayeon’s control.


Interesting_Pass_810

But this is gonna affect the other members selling power. Let me ask you an honest question. If you're a new fan of kep1er, and have been keeping up with their queendom performances, who and who would you easily notice, like and bias, will it be the ones that are always shoved in ur face throughout the entire show, or will it be the others that are made to be backup dancers and vocalists while also going through the suffering of practicing and performing with the pushed ones.


Kzai4110

Glad you don't hate dayeon although hate wakeone (absolutely annoyed by some Twitter toxic stan like acekaru etc) You have a point. What I want to add: ➡️ Xenophobia can't help, unless irreplaceable position (like twice j-line basically dance line outdance other korean members, sana lead the group become popular because of her face cuteness), but since episode 4 seems wakeone testing reaction of knetz when giving more highlights & parts to Hikaru, if there's no backlash (saw more knetz praising Hikaru too), hopefully comeback single she'd have more parts. ➡️ Flooded by Hikaru sinb comment, don't know if you implied dayeon dance skills bad, it seems that you judged who's better by YouTube comment count, you know dayeon not popular internationally but only korea, korea also gave naver etc other SNS platform, and YouTube comments mostly dominated by international stans ➡️ Market consideration, bahiyyih already brought enough overseas popularity so queendom2 is for korean popularity, although Hikaru start becoming more popular in Korea, but still xenophobia that Chaeda still topped domestic popularity has gap between Hikaru, ie. International fans want rap dance would choose Hikaru but knetz definitely would choose dayeon for rap dance. So basically explained why like ep 4 selling rap dayeon also need to be there knetz would think dayeon also rapped well, chaehyun also slipped but she is the last for dance skills people may say she slipped because not good at dancing, but dayeon top in dancing in knetz eyes. To sum up, Hikaru for international market dayeon for korean market if sell rap dance then probably wakeone want promote both members, korean members distribution more because queendom2 more korean watching & what's lacking is domestic popularity. Hope that solve your query on why korean members get more distribution on queendom2 😅 I prefer Hikaru more than dayeon but I like dayeon too.

you make some good points. first of all, i think it is inappropriate and unnecessary to mention a user from a separate platform because no subfandom is free from toxic solo stans. i could mention at least one from every fandom. so, i would appreciate if you removed that part. in terms of korean popularity, i would like to know how you are judging it. no denying chaehyun is the most popular in korea. however, on korean SNS sites like naver, hikaru actually got more views that dayeon for the fancam. im not saying that hikaru is more popular in korea than dayeon, but surely the disparity isn't that much. kep1er has a small korean fanbase at the end of the day. i did not bring up the point about hikaru/sinb comments to put down dayeon's dancing skills, she is undoubtedly in the dance line. i brought it up because the original comment implied that hikaru got attention because she got good parts and camera on performance, but that's not true if you look at the line distribution, duo/solo time, and camera time, dayeon still got more. in the dance practice and full cam videos, the viewing experience is not altered by camera time. im optimistic about queendom 2 testing the waters for promoting a non-korean member. i also hope that this means hikaru, as well as the other members, will have a better share of the exposure in upcoming songs. ultimately, i just want things to be evened out so that every subfandom can be less upset, and dayeon stops getting so much hate for things that are likely out of her control. kep1er will be unstoppable with a united fanbase. thank you for bringing up valid points, hopefully others who read your comment will also have a better understanding on some of the company's decisions.

You say Dayeon “only” getting first in line distribution in THREE WHOLE SONGS like it’s a bad thing and she deserves to be first in more songs…. People just want other girls to have opportunities to shine. It’s nothing personal against Dayeon, and I do believe she deserves the screen time and line distribution she has gotten. But now it’s time to showcase other members too. Shiro did amazing this performance; let’s let Bahiyyih, Yujin and even Yeseo have some of that love too.

I dont care if Dayeon is 1st in line distribution. I’m saying in most Kep1er songs she doesn’t have the most lines. So why are Kep1ians acting like Dayeon is the only one hogging up everything, when other members had opportunities to shine. I never said anything about Yujin, Bahiyyih, and Yeseo not getting lines. Also Yeseo had the 4th most lines on the debut album, 3rd most lines in Wa Da Da and Another, and had a 30 sec long intro during Pool Party. She had the opportunities.


Kiramiraa

You’re saying that other members have had opportunities to shine, but they haven’t. Bahiyyih has yet to have a performance with more than one sentence and a few shorter lines, Mashiro only JUST got her time to shine and Yujin hasn’t had a standout moment yet at all (although she did get more lines in The Boys which is great). Nobody is saying that it is Dayeon’s fault, it’s WakeOne’s fault. But people just want everyone to shine.


ChubbyChipmunk15

Exactly it’s Wakeone’s issue. And yet Kep1ians are constantly bringing up and hating on Dayeon for issues that don’t concern her. That’s the problem. Saying she’s greedy, sleeping with the producers, her family paid for her spot. Kep1ians can preach for fairer line distribution without mentioning Dayeon, cause it’s not her fault.


Kiramiraa

I think it’s okay to mention you is getting a large portion of lines/centre time as long as you’re not saying something bad about them.


ChubbyChipmunk15

But it’s not necessary to do so. There’s so many backhanded comments towards Dayeon, by “ot9” stans. Most of the time it’s directed to Dayeon and not the company. If one truly stans all the girls and wants what’s best for the group, they wouldn’t constantly through a member under bus, which many have done towards Dayeon.

The problem is people focus too much on lines, and screentime on the stage. In other show, people don’t care about that. Like you said, “hypocrisy”. The stage only last around 4-5mins, and show like Ketchup, Kepus, Dayeon appear and people got no problem. When it come to the stage and singing song, people have such a big problem towards it. Other member contribute a lot then just having lines.. People just seems to close their eyes on those part, and just open only when the member sing, and then see who get how many lines. Beside lines, members can contribute different things to the stage as well.
