Fans were shocked when a brief second of Kep1er’s remix of “Rollin'” used the same sample sound as a familiar boy group’s recent song…
I’m so confused why did i hear venom €.!:&:€ pic.twitter.com/9UNdOxVE6c

During a dance break in their performance, Kep1er’s remix included a familiar sound from Stray Kids‘ “VENOM.”
glad to know i wasnt the only one https://t.co/QO40UmXDl0
— nicolette🌹 (@nicolette_yle) April 22, 2022
The same sound that helped fans realize that Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan had actually spoiled the song years before its recent release.
And while clearly, the sound was because both songs used the same sample…
I guess it’s the same sample
— ghost! ☺︎︎ (@ghosthannie) April 21, 2022
The familiar sound really amused fans.
help i thought i misheard it https://t.co/7Ik8EkVr8U
— naz (@chgbnz) April 22, 2022
Some thought that their Spotify had suddenly started playing while watching the performance.
I HEARD IT TOO, I THOUGHT VENOM JUST ACCIDENTALLY PLAYED IN MY SPOTIFY
— 🎧 (@jeonginoots) April 21, 2022
Other fans joked that they expected Kep1er’s performance to become a sudden collaboration with Stray Kids, the recent winners of Kingdom: Legendary War.
Same 😅🤣 I thought suddenly kids appear on stage and perform venom🤣 https://t.co/P9qJtwf3QN

Or that Kep1er was actually going to show off their versatility by performing two covers.

And other fans joked that this was the Kep1er and Stray Kids crumbs that no one was expecting but are now grateful for.

But regardless, all of the stages from Queendom 2‘s latest episode were incredible, and Kep1er definitely brought their all to the performance.
