It’s a wonderful performance, and the girls are worthy of the eruption of applause from the crowd. It’s cheap, but it works, and cheap-but-effective is what Mnet does best. As I’ve noted previously, the Brave Girls Sympathy Train has been chugging along at a rapid pace, and this stage shows them pulling into the final station for high emotional payoff. Mnet has basically been setting up this stage all season. But Brave Girls showcasing the talent and the charm that earned them their long-term fans to begin with, that’s what we were waiting for all along. Yes, some groups should be using Queendom 2 to showcase something new, WJSN and LOONA for example do their best when they play against expectations. The key to this stage, and the main difference between this stage and previous BG rounds, is that it really highlights the personality and interpersonality of the members. Many of the other idols participating shed tears while watching, but honestly the saddest thing is that it’s taken Brave Girls so long to have an objectively great stage. They don the slippers as the footage of them winning at the MAMAs is played. Using a pair of glass slippers as the metaphor for their dreams, they throw the coming-of-age party they never got. Interspersed are clips of stage mishaps, sparse audiences, and other lowlights from the nugu grind. The stage begins with Yuna’s infamous clip of her saying she has no schedule and no future.
