Most Shocking “Queendom Puzzle” Eliminations That Fans Still Can’t Accept
Queendom Puzzle wrapped up its final episode, crowning the winning top seven contestants who will be part of the much-debated global girl group EL7Z UP. However, the dust hasn’t quite settled on some unexpected exits that took many by surprise.
While the winners have left fans ecstatic, let’s take a moment to delve into the show’s most shocking eliminations that had fans questioning, “How did that happen?”
1. Cherry Bullet’s Bora
A name that’s synonymous with power-packed vocals, Bora’s exit was certainly a curveball no one saw coming. Throughout her journey in the show, she consistently showcased her range and ability, making her elimination a genuine shocker for many. She even ranked #1 following the show’s first challenge.

Fans had pegged her to be a finalist early on, and her departure left a lingering question: What more did she have to showcase?
I am so sick right now… THE Bora??? Eliminated?????? I really feel so sad. I was fighting so hard for you… I will now fight hard for a Cherry Bullet cb to avenge you & Jiwon.

2. Rocket Punch’s Suyun
Effortlessly blending her bright personality with her singing prowess, Suyun was an instant favorite. As the episodes progressed, her versatility and commitment to her performances seemed to cement her spot in the finals. So when the news of her elimination came out, it was a jolt out of the blue for her ardent followers.
I’m so proud of Suyun, that first stage must have hit hard on confidence as it was harshly criticized, she was never treated as a main vocal while being one and without benefits she made it to 8th place.

The Rocket Punch star ranked eighth in the final episode, almost making it to debut with 302,579 votes.
suyun was so so close. it’s extremely gutting bc she made up so much ground. like it’s only 48k+ difference from 7th😭
the downvotes at the start had affected her singing confidence. bc since then, the most she had was sub vocal 3#ROCKETPUNCH #로켓펀치pic.twitter.com/pa8HFjwgVp

3. Cherry Bullet’s Jiwon
Talented, charismatic, and undeniably captivating on stage — Jiwon was a force to reckon with, similar to her bandmate Bora. Each of her performances exuded confidence, and she had an undeniable spark. When she didn’t make the cut, fans were in disbelief, wondering how such a strong contender could fall short.
One of the biggest letdowns was letting Jiwon out of the Queendom Puzzle. I still can’t believe that she was eliminated. 😭

4. Weeekly’s Zoa
A bundle of energy and skill, Zoa’s journey in Queendom Puzzle was nothing short of impressive. Commanding attention with her unique style and stage presence, her elimination was one of the moments that left fans shaking their heads in disbelief.
Fye, Riina, Miru, Soojin, Jiwon, Zoa and Bora didn’t deserve to be eliminated
all of the were eliminated either because lack of favouritism, less screentime, evil-editing or being a foreigner.
FUCK YOU ALL #QUEENDOMPUZZLE
