The singing competition with a boyfriend who battles for the respect of his girlfriend sounds like it could be a potential mess and good reality TV, but it's Mnet so it'll just be a scripted mess with wasted potential, lol.

Why would a boyfriend even have to battle for the respect of his girlfriend? like.... if she doesn't respect you leave her??

[powerbirdy27.livejournal.com]

I don't even know. What if he cheated or something and now he has to earn her respect back, that would be an entire mess and even better if they have to battle rap.

NGL that sounds like something mnet would produce a show about

I was hoping for a Road to Queendom show to give some of the nugu but talented groups like GWSN etc to get a chance for some attention.
Already predicting that Street Man Fighter is gonna be filled with character controversies

They better battle with lyrics not with how high of a note they can hit.

no male version of planet 999?

and we thank the lord

the last one is so odd. is it a rap battle? are the contestants battling each other for a girl and she chooses the winner? or are they going to take turns serenading the girl? is it a songwriting contest? is this some bizarre form of very scripted bachelorette or will there be actual couples on there?

i have... so many questions. 🥴️

it's giving me scott pilgrim vibes and i don't like it lmao

[chiives.livejournal.com]

nnnnnn lmao i'd watch it if they somehow manage to get brie larson involved!

[tsukino.livejournal.com]

I'd watch for a rap battle between Envy and Knives.

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

Definitely watxhing Queendom and Street Man Fighter.

[kcaomei.livejournal.com]

?????? okay then.

i might check out queendom 2 but they can keep the rest.

[tsukino.livejournal.com]

I'll watch Queendom for sure.

The boyfriend one is so vague. Is he battling because she needs respect from someone? Or does he need respect from her? Either way, whoever thought of this needs to be punted into the sun.

I really need to know the Queendom 2 lineup.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

I feel like even Mnet doesn't know who is going to be in the lineup for Queendom 2. If I'm not wrong, they didn't confirm Kingdom till much later too because they had no one who was willing

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it doesn't end up with an entire company being blocked from appearing on M Countdown like last time

[myungung.livejournal.com]

iland 2 will be interesting for the trainees they'll get, especially when hybe is coming out with 3 girl groups?

of course queendom 2 is the most anticipated thing from them, and i just want the groups to do well. looking forward to fun interactions and catchy singles. apink, red velvet and chungha please?

[figus204.livejournal.com]

The one show I'm potentially watching is Queendom 2, but I need to know who's gonna be on it before I decide :)
