A significant change

Last week, a significant change took place. The contestants’ voting scores were reset immediately after the show’s first live elimination ceremony. Consequently, all the votes and benefits everyone received before that episode will not count towards next week’s semi-final results and eliminations.

With one week of voting left before the August 8 semi-finals, during which seven idols will be sent packing, Queendom Puzzle revealed the interim status of its 21 remaining contestants on August 1. This announcement was based on votes from the past week, and it certainly stirred up excitement among fans.

The current Top 7, in no particular order, are CLC’s Yeeun, H1-KEY’s Hwiseo, Lovelyz’s Kei, PURPLE KISS’s Yuki, Rocket Punch’s Yeonhee, Woo!ah!’s Nana, and WJSN’s Yeoreum. These ladies showed a lot of charisma, heart, and talent, earning them the top spots in the competition so far.

Meanwhile, the mid-ranking contestants, who are in the 8th to 14th places, are Dohwa (aka AOA’s Chanmi), Rocket Punch’s Suyun and Takahashi Juri, tripleS’s Jiwoo, Weeekly’s Jihan, Weki Meki’s Elly, and Woo!ah!’s Wooyeon. These contestants are still in the running and have a chance to climb the ranks with strong performances in the upcoming rounds.

Lastly, the 7 lowest-ranking contestants, who are at risk for elimination, are Cherry Bullet’s Bora and Jiwon, Fye, H1-KEY’s Riina, NMB48 alum and soloist Shiroma Miru, Weeekly’s Lee Soojin, and Weeekly’s Zoa. The pressure is on for them, as they need to prove themselves in the next round to avoid elimination.
