The Best Fan Reactions To The News That Taeyeon Will Host “Queendom Season 2”
Since season 2 of Mnet‘s popular show Queendom was confirmed last month, fans have been eagerly waiting to find out the groups that might compete against one another.
The first season of Queendom took place back in 2019 and featured six competitors.
A.O.A
(G)I-DLE
Lovelyz
MAMAMOO
Oh My Girl
And Park Beom from 2NE1
For season 2, there are many rumored lineups that include Cherry Bullet, CLC, Dreamcatcher, Fromis_9, LOONA, MOMOLAND, Weki Meki, and Cosmic Girls (commonly referred to as WJSN).
And while fans will have to wait longer for confirmation about who will actually be competing, Mnet has officially announced the MC for the second season.
None other than Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon.
Taeyeon is an incredibly experienced performer, with heavenly vocals and phenomenal stage presence.
She recently had a comeback with “Can’t Control Myself,” which she released on January 17th, 2022.
Along with her recent debut with GOT The Beat, SM Entertainment‘s newest girl group project.
But her fans are excited to be getting even more content from the singer, feeling lucky to have her be so active in both music and shows.
taeyeon started off the year with GOT, CCM as a pre-release, mcountdown and gaon awards coming this week, her full album comeback AND queendom filming next month, on top of amazing saturday filming every other week + the extra fan content she makes for us… 🥺💜

Others felt sentimental, enthusing about how Girls’ Generation is now truly proving themselves as not only legends in the industry but helpful, supportive mentors to their hoobaes (industry juniors).

Others remembered how Taeyeon mentioned in an interview with the Star Magazine in November of 2021 that she wanted to try being an MC again.

And inevitably, there were jokes about how groups would sign up simply for a chance to meet the idol that so many newer idols look up to.
Someone said Taeyeon as an MC on Queendom 2 is basically a meet & greet on national TV 🤣

And specifically, some fans hoped that MAMAMOO would somehow be included in the show’s lineup for a second time so Moonbyul could meet Taeyeon again and possibly have a collaboration fans of both groups are dreaming of.
Taeyeon: *is confirmed to be the mc of queendom 2*
Byul: so can we participate again?
