Mnet’s upcoming survival program “Queendom Puzzle” has responded to reports of Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi starring on the show!
On April 19, The Seoul Economic Daily reported that former IZ*ONE members Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi will be starring on “Queendom Puzzle.”
In response to the report, a source from Mnet shared, “The overall casting is in progress, so it is difficult to say at this stage.”
Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi debuted as members of IZ*ONE through Mnet’s 2018 survival program “Produce 48.” Since then, Yabuki Nako returned as a member of HKT48 and graduated from the group this month, also partaking as an MC on “The Idol Band: Boy’s Battle.” Honda Hitomi returned as a member of AKB48 and starred in the drama “Hokuo Kojirase Nikki” (“Diary of a Girl in Love With Scandinavia”).
“Queendom Puzzle” is a spin-off variety show that will form a powerful global project girl group by taking members from currently promoting girl groups as well as female artists and putting them together like a puzzle.
The first season of “Queendom” premiered in 2019 and featured legendary female artists including AOA, MAMAMOO, Oh My Girl, (G)-IDLE, Park Bom, and Lovelyz. Season 2 introduced Hyolyn, Brave Girls, WJSN, LOONA, Kep1er, and VIVIZ. MAMAMOO and WJSN took home the crown during their respective seasons.
“Queendom Puzzle” will premiere in June.
