Even though they are already competing in 'Queendom 2', the four contestants who recently came back, such as VIVIZ, WJSN, LOONA, and Kep1er, are still considered average.
After competing in "Queendom" Season 2, four fast contestants made a comeback. Is it true that this program has no impact on the comebacks of VIVIZ, WJSN (Cosmic Girls), LOONA and Kep1er?
Comeback in the near future, the comparison of the achievements of the four "Queendom 2" contestants is unavoidable. However, what they got after competing in the event was not impressive enough.
First in terms of album sales, Kep1er took the lead by successfully printing 287 thousand copies with "DOUBLAST". While the winner of "Queendom 2", WJSN only sold 71,396 copies of the album titled "Sequence" and broke the personal record on Hanteo. LOONA sold 50,065 copies on the first day and first week and VIVIZ 23,272 copies.
Furthermore, from the charts, these four groups seem to have their respective territories. Starting from the most popular MelOn chart, Genie, to Bugs, the four groups are in various positions.
WJSN's "Last Sequence" ranked 114 on MelOn, 177 on Genie and 21 on Bugs. With "Loveade", VIVIZ is at position 110 on MelOn, 157 on Genie and 10 on Bugs.
Unable to break through on Genie, LOONA was ranked 241 on MelOn and 2 on Bugs with "Flip That". In the same vein as his seniors, Genie did not penetrate, Kep1er with "Up!" is at position 286 on MelOn and 11 on Bugs.
Next, from the MV views on YouTube, the four groups are said to have not experienced much improvement. Peaking at trending number 1 worldwide, WJSN's MV was watched 6.9 million times in 4 days and Kep1er played 27 million times in 2 weeks. LOONA's MV occupied the top trending number 2 and gained 35 million views. Meanwhile, VIVIZ's MV is trending 11 worldwide with 1 million views in three days.
Lastly, winning on music shows is one indicator of a song's success or not. Kep1er himself had won the "Music Bank" trophy against TWICE's Nayeon which eventually sparked controversy.
In conclusion, despite the rave reviews of "Queendom 2" the contestants have not had the success they hoped for. WJSN has probably received the most attention but still has not been able to achieve extraordinary digital achievements.
On the other hand, Kep1er and LOONA are attracting more attention than ever before. Lastly, VIVIZ is already strong in the general public but is considered not to have met expectations to prove itself. (wk/inta)
