STAYC's Current Success
STAYC has been enjoying significant success with their recent album releases, focusing on team promotions and solidifying their place in the competitive K-pop industry. Fans argue that the group's impressive accomplishments make their rumored appearance on Queendom puzzling. As one fan put it, "StayC has already seized their place, why would they even wanna go there?"
Possible Special Stage Appearance
While many fans are opposed to the idea of STAYC participating in Queendom, some have suggested that the group may make an appearance for a special stage performance. They believe that it is unlikely for STAYC to join the competition, given their current success, but a special stage could be a possibility. One fan commented, "If StayC is really going there, it's probably for a special stage. But it still makes no sense."
