Queendom Puzzle is a 2023 South Korean reality competition show created by Mnet. It premiered on Mnet on June 13, 2023, airing every Tuesday at 22:00 KST.[1] The show concluded on August 15, 2023.
The show serves as a spin-off series of Queendom, however it does not share a similar format with the previous seasons, only taking the name of the series.[2]
On January 26, 2023, it was announced that the Queendom series would have a third season, but would be different from the previous two seasons.[3]
The show will focus on forming a global project girl group by taking members from currently active girl groups as well as solo female artists and piecing them together like a puzzle. It will take on a completely new format from the pre-existing Queendom series, with individual competitions taking place rather than team competition.[4]
Out of the initial 28 contestants, they will compete through performances to finally become a 7-member supergroup, El7z Up .[5] [6]
On April 10, 2023, Mnet released the first teaser video on their YouTube channel. In the teaser, iconic girl group songs play in the background as well as the silhouettes of seven female celebrities are shown. Along with the confirmation that the first lineup will be revealed in May, the teaser includes the mysterious code on the bottom, "IURP WZHQWB HLJKW WR VHYHQ", which deciphers "from twenty-eight to seven".[7]
On April 24, Mnet confirmed that Girls' Generation's Taeyeon will host the show.[8] The first six contestants were also revealed,[9] as well as Weeekly,[10] and H1-KEY where its agency, GLG, confirmed two of their members' participation in the show.[11]
On April 25, it was revealed that WJSN's Yeoreum would be a contestant in the show.[12] On April 26, it was revealed that members Jiwon, Chaerin and Bora from Cherry Bullet would participate in the show.[13] On April 27, it was revealed that Yuki from Purple Kiss would also be a contestant.[14]
On May 2, the remaining member of AOA, Chanmi, now known as Dohwa, was revealed as a contestant in the show.[15]
On May 9, Mnet released a second teaser to officially announce the program's premiere date of June 13, 2023, at 22:00 (KST).[1] In the teaser, silhouettes of the cast members are revealed as well as Taeyeon standing in the center.[16]
On May 18, Mnet released teaser photos of the first 13 contestants in silhouettes, as well as two teams created, Pick on the top and Pick-Cat. The two teams also released two theme songs titled "Charismatic" and "Snap" respectively on the same day, accompanied by two performance videos shown on M Countdown.[17] It was also shared that the rest of the contestants would be revealed the week after, and that they would be releasing and performing the same two songs on M Countdown in their own versions.[18] On the same day, Lee Chae-yeon and Haein were reported to have withdrawn from the show. They would not be replaced and the show would continue with 26 contestants.[19] On May 19, Mnet released individual teaser videos and posters previewing the first 13 contestants revealed.[20]
On May 25, Mnet released a second set of teaser photos of the remaining 13 contestants in silhouettes, as well as the two teams, Drop The Beat & Athena.[21] The two teams also released different versions of the two theme songs on the same day, accompanied by performance videos shown on M Countdown.[22] On May 26, Mnet released individual teaser videos and posters for the remaining 13 contestants.[23]
On May 29, Mnet released a group poster containing all contestants and MC Taeyeon, as well as the profiles of the 26 contestants.[24] On June 2, Mnet released the first teaser trailer.[25]
On June 6, a behind-the-scenes video was released, showing the contestants meeting each other for the first time.[26] An exclusive preview, also known as Episode 0, was also released, showing the first hour of Episode 1 that was to be aired in the following week.[27]
On June 8, a special stage of the contestants was aired on M Countdown.[28]
All of the contestants have previous experiences in the K-pop industry, either as a current or former member of a girl group or as a soloist. The lineup of contestants includes members of Cherry Bullet, Rocket Punch, Weki Meki, H1-Key, AOA, WJSN, Purple Kiss, Weeekly, Woo!ah!, Lightsum, TripleS, and former members of Lovelyz, CLC, Momoland, BNK48, and NMB48. The show originally had 28 contestants, though Chaeyeon and Haein of Laboum both left the show prior to its airing for personal reasons.[29] Both made appearances in the first 2 episodes.

The Semi-Final voting assembly-choice voting began from July 4 to 7, 23:59 (KST), via the Mnet Plus application, where voters listen to snippets of three newly produced songs and for each song, they pick 7 contestants they want to put in. The three teams would then be formed based on the votes. Subsequently, elimination of 5 contestants would be conducted on Episode 7 (special live broadcast), followed by member adjustments to the teams, such that each song would only have 7 contestants. The eventual performances of the three songs would be held in the Semi-Final, which is Episode 9 (live broadcast).
Through live text votes in Episode 9, the winning team is decided. The members of the winning team would each get a benefit of 30,000 votes. Subsequently, 7 contestants would be eliminated.
