'Queendom 2' Episode 4: VIVIZ, Hyolyn, and Kep1er Cover Fellow Contestants' Songs
On April 21, Mnet broadcasted the fourth episode of "Queendom 2," which features VIVIZ, Hyolyn, and Kep1er as they carry on with Round 2's cover song battle. They follow the performances of WJSN, LOONA, and Brave Girls in the previous week.
Last week, WJSN covered GFRIEND's "Navillera," LOONA covered SISTAR's "Shake It," and Brave Girls covered Kep1er's "MVSK."
For Episode 4, VIVIZ had to perform a song by WJSN, to which they chose to cover "UNNATURAL." The three former GFRIEND members put on a bold performance, which is different from the concepts they usually do.
In their interview, Eunha expressed her worry about performing the song, saying, "When I first saw the draft video, I thought, 'Do I really have to do this? Is this real life?'"
Later in their performance, Eunha ended up making a mistake in the choreography, making the idol shed tears and share with the viewers, "Since I know that I am someone who isn't good at dancing, it is so upsetting whenever I feel that I am lacking."
Check out VIVIZ's performance here:
Following VIVIZ, Kep1er performed their cover of Brave Girls' song. In the previous episode, Kep1er and Brave Girls were automatically matched to cover each other's songs after not being picked by the other contestants.
As Kep1er are young idols, with many underaged members, the group expressed their worry about covering Brave Girls' songs which feature a very mature vibe. Kep1er even asked help from Brave Girls directly to know more about their song "We Ride."

However, during the performance, Kim Dayeon fell off the stage. The idol stated she felt like she is more responsible for making a mistake.

Concluding the cover stage battle, last week's champion Hyolyn covered LOONA's "So What."
In her interview, Hyolyn expressed her gratitude for placing first in Round 1. However, she had a lot of worries due to the pressure of having to show a better performance in Round 2.
As LOONA's song is originally performed by 12 members, that meant Hyolyn is responsible for all of the parts. For her performance, the former SISTAR member went with a cat woman concept, saying, "Although cat woman isn't a villain, she has a villain vibe. I want to express the song's message in a bold and villainous way."
