With the 12 chosen contestants to show what they’re made of in the upcoming battle, here are three things to watch for to better enjoy the show.

Talented vocalists and hidden gems, challenge taken on by 12 vocal queens!

From main vocalists who are already known for their talents to hidden gems who are ready to blow people away, 12 idols have gathered to take on the title of “Vocal Queen.” Of 86 idols who applied for the show, GWSN’s Seoryeong, gugudan’s Nayoung, DIA’s Jueun, DreamCatcher’s Siyeon, Venus’s Jeong Da Kyung, SONAMOO’s High.D, APRIL’s Jinsol, WJSN’s Yeonjung, Weki Meki’s Sooyeon and Choi Yoojung, and Cherry Bullet’s Hayeoon and Bora will advance to the main competition.

In the show, the 12 contestants will split into two teams of six and go into a one-on-one battle. As revealed ahead of the show, Weki Meki’s Choi Yoojung and Sooyeon will face off against each other, while APRIL’s youngest member Jinsol will go up against Venus’s Jeong Da Kyung, who was just one day into her girl group debut during the first recording.
