Watch: Members Of Weeekly, tripleS, H1-KEY, And More Mingle And Play Games In The "Queendom Puzzle" Studio

Jun 24, 2023

An adorable behind-the-scenes clip has dropped for “Queendom Puzzle”!

A spin-off of the hit survival show “Queendom,” Mnet’s “Queendom Puzzle” features idols—including members of currently active girl groups—battling for spots in a new seven-member project girl group.

The new video gives a glimpse of what the contestants get up to after arriving to the studio early. H1-KEY’s Riina and Hwiseo are first to arrive and they excitedly explore the “Queendom Puzzle” lounge before delving into some snacks. Next to arrive are tripleS’s Jiwoo and Yoon Seoyeon, allowing the program’s two youngest groups to spend some time together.

As they ponder what they’ll have to do later on, Riina casually comments that she hopes they won’t have to do anything. Hwiseo adds, “I wish we could all sit together and play Duck Duck Goose.”

Weeekly’s Jihan, Lee Soojin, Soeun, and Zoa then make their way into the studio and greet their fellow contestants. Zoa asks Jiwoo if she went to school and Jiwoo shyly shakes her head before explaining to the H1-KEY members that they attend the same school. After, the contestants discuss their ages and excitedly realize they have new same-age friends.

Once Lovelyz’s Kei waltzes in, she immediately asks the other girls if they’ve eaten and worries about how they stayed up all night. She then explains that she’s the oldest contestant on “Queendom Puzzle” and adorably reassures them that she will do her role well as the eldest.

To pass time, the ladies begin a game of “I am ground.” After a practice round, they decide to make the punishment escorting the next contestant in with a bouquet of flowers while telling them, “We’ve been waiting just for you.” Their long-running next round is cut short with the entrance of former CLC member Yeeun, who quietly watches the next game. Ultimately, the punishment is given to Yoon Seoyeon and Riina, who anxiously wait for Weki Meki’s Elly to make her way up to the lounge.

When Elly runs in a little too rapidly for the secret event, the girls jokingly ask for a redo. Despite having no idea what’s going on, Elly immediately understands the assignment and does as she’s told. Both Yoon Seoyeon and Riina hold out a bouquet of flowers for her to pick, but Elly wittily cries out, “I’ll go with this flower!” before walking towards the rest of the contestants.
