“Queendom Puzzle” PD on Lee Chaeyeon and Haein’s departure, “All recorded footage will be aired”
The PD of Mnet’s “Queendom Puzzle” said that despite Lee Chaeyeon and former LABOUM Haein leaving, their footage will be aired.
On the afternoon of June 13th, at HW Convention in Buam-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, a press conference was held for Mnet’s “Queendom Puzzle”, where PD Lee Yeon Gyu answered questions related to the show.
In particular, the PD mentioned the departure of Lee Chaeyeon and former LABOUM member Haein, stating, “I previously mentioned that it was due to personal reasons, and I apologize for not being able to provide more details regarding the artists’ personal reasons.”
Regarding the appearance of Lee Chaeyeon and others in the preview video, PD Lee explained, “Not only Chaeyeon but also Haein, all the participants have prepared for a considerable amount of time for the stage, and there was a substantial amount of footage agreed upon by the artists and the production team. We thought that airing the recorded footage is a matter of respect for the artists, so all the recorded footage until the time of their departure will be revealed.”
On the other hand, “Queendom Puzzle” is a program where a project group is created from matching former girl group members or female artists, as if they are “puzzle pieces” to create the best combinations via various stages.
A total of 26 female artists will participate in this program, including JooE (former MOMOLAND), Yeoreum (WJSN), Elly (Weki Meki), Bora, Jiwon, and Chaerin (Cherry Bullet), Yuki (Purple Kiss), Riina and Hwiseo (H1-KEY), Sangah (LIGHTSUM), Juri, Suyun, Yeonhee (Rocket Punch), Seoyeon and Jiwoo (tripleS), Soojin, Jihan, Soeun, and Zoa (Weeekly), Nana and Wooyeon (woo!ah!), Dohwa (also known as Chanmi, former AOA), Yeeun (former CLC), Kei (former Lovelyz), Miru (from Japanese idol group NMB48, former “Produce 48” contestant) and Faii (also known as Fye, formerly from Thai idol group BNK48).
