Queendom is a South Korean reality competition series created by Mnet.
The first season aired from August 29 to October 31, 2019, every Thursday at 21:20 (KST).[1] For the season, Mamamoo finished in first place.[2]
The second season, dubbed as Queendom 2, aired March 31 to June 2, 2022, every Thursday at 21:20 (KST). For the season, WJSN finished in first place.[3]
The program is a comeback battle between 6 trending girl group acts, in order to "determine the real number one" when all 6 release their singles at the same time.[4] The winning act will have a comeback show only for them, showing the new song and their other hit songs, arranged however they want it. The comeback show is broadcast on Mnet and M2.[5]
The first and second seasons lasted for 10 weeks, both featured 3 preliminary performances and 1 live comeback stage from each act. The Comeback Singles, which are newly produced songs, of the 6 acts are released a few days prior to the final episode. The digital points accumulated for the Comeback Singles and live votes for the comeback stages on the final episode, together with the accumulated points from the 3 preliminary performances, were the keys to determine the final winner.[6]
The first season's winner was Mamamoo; their comeback show happened on November 3, 2020 as the group made their comeback with their tenth mini album Travel.[7] The comeback show for the second season's winner WJSN took place on July 5, 2022 with their first special single album Sequence.
