VIVIZ (Umji, Eunha, Sinb, and Umji) will meet global fans through Mnet's 'Queendom 2'.

The agency Big Planet Maid announced on February 21, "VIVIZ has confirmed its appearance on Mnet's survival program 'Queendom 2', which will be aired for the first time on March 31."

'Queendom 2' is a comeback survival program in which six top girl groups compete and release singles one time each day. As this season is aimed not only at domestic but also global K-pop fans, there is anticipation for more intense competition and abundant entertainment.

Among them, the news of VIVIZ, who recently had a successful debut ceremony, has been reported and is drawing keen attention. In particular, as the group gained great popularity as an irreplaceable 'sword group dancer' during GFRIEND's activities, the curiosity about what kind of fresh performance will be presented by VIVIZ, a newly formed group, is heightened.

VIVIZ released their first mini-album 'Beam Of Prism' on February 9 and started their full-fledged debut activities. At the same time as the release, VIVIZ took the top spot on the real-time chart of the Bugs with the title song 'BOP BOP!' Not only that but MBC M' Show! Champion' and Mnet's 'M Countdown', after a week of the debut, won two music broadcasts, imprinting a still shining presence.

The attention is focused on what kind of charm VIVIZ will capture global fans with, which has returned splendidly as a 'recruited rookie' in the fierce battle of girl groups.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.
