Go To

A Korean reality survival show from 2022. Just like in 2019's Queendom, six established acts - five girl groups and one soloist - compete; the goal is that all six acts have a comeback at the same time and see which one does best. The participants are girl groups VIVIZ, WJSN (Cosmic Girls), LOONA, Kep1er and Brave Girls and soloist Hyolyn (from Sistar fame). The show is hosted by Taeyeon.

The acts get assignments for their performances and they will be ranked depending on how many points they score.

Apart from the competition in music and performance, they also play different games for perks and are shown getting to know the other groups better as they go to a retreat.


This show provides examples of:

  • Alice Allusion: Done by both Kep1er in their round 2 performance and by VIVIZ (combined with elements from La La Land) in their final performance.
  • The Cameo: In episode 3, members of AOA, (G)I-DLE, The Boyz and Oneus were in the audience and some said a few words.
  • Cool Big Sis: Hyolyn fulfills this role quite well.
  • Fangirl: Several of the other competitors fangirled over Hyolyn and also over Taeyeon.
  • Girl Group: Naturally important, as five of the six acts are this. The one soloist is mostly known for having been in one.
  • Instant Costume Change: LOONA does this during their musical version of "Shake It".
  • Lady in a Power Suit: Brave Girls and LOONA seem to enjoy this trope.
  • Musical Episode: LOONA does this with Sistar's "Shake It". WJSN later does this for their "Pantomime" performance in the following round.
  • Phantom Thief: Brave Girls and VIVIZ did this for the cover challenge, with Brave Girls using a Masquerade Ball theme crossed with a Stage Magician angle, and VIVIZ going for a Latin Femme Fatale route with roses and flamenco.
  • Sexy Cat Person: Shows up in lyrics, choreo, and styling.
    • Hyolyn dresses up as Catwoman for the second round's cover challenge.
    • "Purr", performed by Kep1er and VIVIZ in round three, is a Boastful Rap using cat metaphors.
    • "Tam-i-na", performed by LOONA and Brave Girls also in round three, was choreographed with a sensual 'feline' angle.
  • Spectacular Spinning: In episode three, several of the groups play a game in which they have to spin first and then land a finger precisely on a piece of paper to get a nice perk.
  • Underdogs Never Lose: Brave Girls' poor rankings in the first two rounds created a fertile soil for a strong return in the third round, getting their very own perfect all-kill. Averted for Kep1er, whose rankings stayed low throughout the competition but they kept their heads up regardless.
  • Tropical Island Adventure: Hyolyn's theme for her first assignment, and Brave Girls' theme for the last one.
