[Idol: The Coup]

DISCLAIMER: All places, characters, firms, and events depicted in this show are fictitious.

It was actually so thrilling and fun.

Seong Ri / Rainz

I felt shivers of excitement.

I can't forget it.

During our 1st album, we had no anti-fans.

Song Yu-jin / N-Train

We were nominated for the MAMA Rookie Award.

I thought we could succeed. I had high hopes.

We just worked together so well.

Jeong Yu-jin / The Ark

We were active for 3 months.

We could've gotten better results

if we went for longer.

It was one of the most horrible moments.

There was violence.

And cursing.

"Let's get out. We can't be here."

I got a call from the office, so I went.

They said they couldn't continue with us.

My mind went numb.

"Okay..."

After I failed, everyone left.

We were on a roll at first.

But we were a failed idol group.

Only you will stay with Starpeace.

Make a decision. There are no other options.

I'll think about it.

Don't take too much time.

Jenna!

Du-ho!

What in the world did you do alone?

I...

Seriously...

What did you do by yourself that

they asked for you after seeing you yesterday?

Huh?

We got a gig.

You got it.

Awesome, right?

What did you do? How did this happen?

Chungcheong-do Traditional Food Festival?

There's a singing contest at Hoengseong Market.

We're the opening act.

Opening? Us? Really?

You beat Viki and got the job.

How?

They're an active group.

There are only a few days left.

Clear your schedules and practice.

It's been a long time since you went on stage.

You'll have lots to prepare.

Where can we practice?

Huh?

Will the agency let us use a studio?

The trainees will fill the time slots.

They won't give us a studio.

What are you talking about?

You're Starpeace. Of course you can use it.

Did you find out?

Not yet?

Let's meet up first.

The people doing it should talk.

I'm not doing it. I'm busy.

Hey!

She's looking for them.

Who?

Hey...

Can I come in?

Working part-time is hard, right?

Du-ho.

I know you made an effort.

But I won't do it.

I should've gotten a better gig.

Sorry.

But you should know,

it's not a sloppy event.

The county has a huge budget...

That's not why I'm refusing to go.

What?

I'm leaving Cotton Candy.

So I don't want to act ambiguously.

Elle.

I'm trying to detach myself from you guys.

What will you do after tracking them down?

I'll get the money back.

Oh Hyun-ji!

Let go! I don't have time for this.

- Is that important to you? - Yes!

To me, that' the most important thing right now.

So let's each do what we think is important.

If you leave like this,

I might really let go of you.

Jenna.

Want me to tell you what you really must do?

Go to CEO Ma

and tell him to take responsibility of us.

Tell him to stop the rumors of us disbanding,

and meet with us once a week.

Publish our next album, promote us

and get us decent gigs.

Apologize for pushing us aside.

Get him to apologize

and tell him to keep his promise

of making us famous!

That's the real important thing you should do!

Not going on radio and saying we've failed

or doing a talent show in front of old people.

- Stage costume? - Yeah.

Just wear that.

I can't wear this!

Want to wear my T-shirt then?

That's ridiculous!

Part 2 Should We Disband?

Can I have a cigarette?

You're not a minor, are you?

Thank you.

Don't be rash.

You're still a singer.

Control yourself.

You're better than CEO Ma.

What happened to them?

I found someone who might know them.

I can get in touch tomorrow.

Hey.

Are you really going to meet them?

Can't you just forget it?

That money shouldn't go to jerks like them.

Recent news on failed idol singer doing a gig

The county office official

went to a relative's house

and saw Jenna's performance.

A sob story from a properly failed idol singer.

Gahhh.

It's not a sob story.

Speak for yourself.

Seriously...

People stink.

I think this item is good.

- Right? - Yeah.

No.

Why not?

Cotton Candy has the right to use the studios.

They should earn money to earn a spot.

We'll get money from the upcoming gig...

I said let them keep it.

They need to make a living so we won't interfere.

The agency clarified its position

and accommodated them.

Where's their sense of decency?

What are you talking about?

Cotton Candy is a part of Starpeace.

Du-ho, you foolish blockhead!

Should I roll you into a ball and kick you away?

Far far away?

Whose agent are you?

Du-ho.

Did you know we'll have a co-president?

What?

We'll have two CEOs from now on.

When CEO Cha comes, Cotton Candy will be cut.

So stop doing useless things,

and play it safe.

The new CEO?

He's someone

who sees the world in numbers.

Everything is money to him.

Starpeace Entertainment New Co-president Cha Jae-hyuk Strengthening Management

Cha Jae-hyuk

Director Jo Sang-jik

Hello?

Yes.

Dinner?

Okay.

Text me the time and place.

Okay.

Asst. Manager Park says

it doesn't look too good for us.

Oh, right.

You met CEO Ma.

Did he really just ask how you were?

He didn't say anything else?

About extending your contract before Cha comes?

He just

asked how we were doing.

He didn't mention your song?

No.

Du-ho.

Huh?

What if I thought wrong?

About what?

The others not wanting to disband either.

What if

I was just seeing things as I wanted?

What if I'm just being stubborn?

Jenna.

There's no way.

Wait.

Did they say they wanted to disband?

They're not saying they won't, either.

Come on.

Did something happen?

No.

Go up?

Go up. Up.

Lift!

One! Two! Three! Four!

Work your hair!

Forward.

Excuse me!

That was cold.

Hello?

Hi, Sir.

Oh, in the afternoon?

There will be practice because of a gig.

Just this once, please?

The part-timer just sent a text and isn't coming.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Okay.

She's no ordinary singer.

She's an idol singer.

You're an idol singer?

Yes.

She was unlucky.

But her skills are one of the best

in all of Korea.

How did she come down all the way to you?

Sir?

She would've been sold ages ago.

I'm kidding.

I don't know the entertainment business,

but I know you can't succeed with skills alone.

Of course, that goes for every business.

Why are you just sitting there?

Pour the CEO a drink.

Director Jo.

Yes?

You're following old customs.

Now, it's the trend to pour your own drink.

Sir.

There's a reason she's my No.1 recruit.

Stop talking about boring things at dinner.

Let's eat.

Okay.

You're really not going to do it?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I showed you the video...

I told you about it.

Yes, you did.

But I didn't say I'll do it.

Hyun-ji.

This is an official gig. Why are you refusing?

I said I'm busy.

What's wrong with you?

That's what I'd like to ask you.

Why are you suddenly being so loyal?

You excited from karaoke two days ago?

You went to a karaoke bar two days ago?

You said you couldn't come because of your mom.

You sang at a karaoke while Jenna was alone?

You're the one to talk.

If you were so concerned,

you should've left the shoot.

You didn't want to go, and used that as an excuse!

Hey, Oh Hyun-ji!

Hey!

You think I'm a pushover?

Huh?

I asked you nicely.

But you can't go two days without blabbing.

Am I a doormat?

Since she went alone,

I thought she'd sing a couple of our songs.

You thought she'd daintily sing our songs?

See?

I knew it.

Hey.

Don't say a word about going to karaoke that day.

I'm sorry. It just came out.

"It just came out"?

You're always like this.

You look down on me, use me and desert me!

How dare you turn me into trash?

Hyun-ji, watch what you're saying!

You stay out of this.

You're pretentious, too.

All of you, stop it!

Let go.

Did I ask you to go to karaoke?

Did I ask you to go?

I don't believe you.

You had fun for someone who didn't want to go.

I've never seen anyone enjoy herself that much...

Hyun-ji!

Hyun-ji!

I said no marketplace gigs.

I clearly told you way back.

Everything is okay, except for the marketplace.

Don't you remember?

I asked you nicely.

I asked you!

You don't care about me at all.

You follow those hotshots Highteen

so I seem ridiculous to you, huh?

That's not true.

Of course it's true.

I knew it

when you abandoned us

and fell at their feet.

I didn't abandon you.

I was assigned to them. I had no choice.

Still, you shouldn't have left us.

You shouldn't have abandoned us.

You, of all people,

shouldn't have abandoned us.

You said we're the best.

You said we're the prettiest.

You said we're your dream!

I hate you the most.

Hyun-ji!

Hyun-ji!

Marketplace Love Talent Show

Wow, that tiny peanut of a thing

can sing and dance so well.

She'll become a famous singer.

The elevator is going down.

The doors are shutting.

That cheeky bastard.

Playing hard to get is for when you date.

He won't even be investing that much.

How dare he weigh us out?

Don't call me to meetings like this from now on.

I only came because you helped me last time.

Hey.

It's just dinner.

Don't be so snippy.

Also,

it's good to know a lot of people.

These days,

investors don't expect sexual favors.

Also,

you have to think about the investor.

He'll have to see the goods.

Would you buy something without seeing it first?

This isn't a charity.

Why am I your goods?

Are you quibbling over conditions?

In your situation,

my company's conditions are the best.

Set up a company first, then talk.

I'm leaving.

Hey, hey, hey. Wait.

How much is it?

KRW 220,000.

Do you have KRW 60,000?

What?

I'm short of money.

If things went well, CEO Park would've paid.

This is all your fault.

Don't ever call me again.

We're an ugly sight to see.

Right?

About Hyun-ji and Elle...

I'll persuade them.

It's a gig Du-ho got for us in a long time.

We can't have just the three of us up there.

We're performing in a long time.

CEO Ma said

when our contract is up,

he'll disband us.

Really?

So...

he's made up his mind?

Yes.

And he'll just take me on.

I told him I'll think about it.

Jenna...

I'm sorry, Stella.

For wavering.

Everyone not wanting to disband...

That just

might be my delusion.

I guess I wanted to prove to the world.

That even in a failed household, people live.

That we live well.

That our relationship is different.

That's what I valued.

Like Elle said,

I guess I was less desperate.

I think what I insisted is ridiculous.

I think it's time we made a decision.

Darn it...

Excuse me!

Oh, uh...

I know I'm a stranger,

but I have to ask for a favor.

I think

I dropped my credit card there.

I don't have bus fare. Can I borrow KRW 10,000?

I'll pay you back tomorrow.

I don't know you. I can't make exchanges.

You don't know me?

Then why did you keep glancing at me?

What?

You know me.

CEO Cha Jae-hyuk.

You'll be the co-president of Starpeace soon.

No way you don't know all its artists.

You're very observant.

It's a survival instinct.

I want to clear things up first.

I didn't keep glancing at you.

Like you said, I was wondering what

a Starpeace artist was doing.

It didn't look too good.

Please lend me KRW 10,000.

It's too much.

That's the only bill I have.

What time should I meet you tomorrow?

No need.

I'll consider it a meal bought

for an artist at my agency.

Tonight,

let's vote about disbanding.

What's this all of a sudden?

It's just as I said.

So why now?

We were going to do it last time.

Is it because I told you to go talk to CEO Ma?

No.

Then what?

You're mad we made you do a gig alone?

You know the reason better than me.

The two of you want to leave the most.

So you're saying

that we are

the reason we're disbanding?

Alright. I agree.

Happy?

Mark it here and put it in the box.

If you agree to disband, draw a circle.

If you disagree, leave it blank.

This is childish.

Let's just decide here and now!

This will be the last time.

Think carefully.

Not out of anger.

You know this is stupid, right?

Our vote doesn't matter.

It looks like

Jenna is still really angry.

Why did I not go?

I shouldn't have listened to Hyun-ji.

You disagree with disbanding, right?

I don't know what to do.

I don't like this,

but that doesn't mean I want to disband.

And Elle is right.

Our opinion doesn't matter.

Because

if the agency doesn't renew our contract,

we'll disband anyway.

Chae-ah.

Huh?

Agree to disband.

I'll agree, too.

Huh?

Is your shoot in the afternoon?

Yes.

Oh, about the studio.

It's fully booked because of a dance competition.

Okay.

I'll look around more this morning.

Okay.

I'm making chicken deliveries in the afternoon.

The owner there asked for a favor.

Okay, then I'll see you in the evening.

You found them?

Where?

Okay, I'm heading out now.

Do whatever you want with the gig.

But stop looking for those boys.

I won't just take it meekly like you.

I can't do anything about powerful people.

But I won't be stepped on by trash.

That's useless pride.

I understand how you feel.

But acting like this will only get you hurt.

You're so high and mighty.

I live like there's no tomorrow.

So let me live out the way I feel.

You go check that box.

Seems like everyone finished voting.

Hyun-ji! Hyun-ji...

What do you think?

Not bad.

But it's not that good either?

"I'm Bbiyong."

Seems like the song is saying that.

Is that why you don't like it?

Then you're being biased.

I'm not that irrational.

Anyway, this is difficult to tackle.

A song that's neither good or bad.

Let's sing it.

Cue the MR.

I'm getting more curious today

In search of the meaning of that hot moment

In the notepad I can't erase

I hid you deep like a secret

Thanks to you, I know my true heart

It's more beautiful

I have no ideal, your language

Lingers in my heart

And baby it's like

Side by side, next to you, with the same tempo

Walking in step with you, our harmony will echo

People come and go, but I will never let go

I know it baby

Open your closed heart

One, two, three, fill it with us

Create endless love

And I'm talking to the moon

Oh, baby

May it shine brighter on our tomorrow

I pray

They should give you a better role.

You're so pretty.

I can't believe they want you to look beaten up.

By the way,

do you know if

they're continuing with this show?

I have no idea. I'm not with the network.

But it seems like

they're discussing it due to production costs.

Why?

Worried you might be out of work?

No

Don't do this anymore.

You'll get stuck with this image.

Find another part-time job.

Why change all the passwords to the studios?

Tell me what it is.

I can't.

We'll come at night so we don't disturb anyone.

- At night. - Don't ask me.

Du-ho is at it again.

Asst. Manager Lee!

Please tell me this once.

- Looks like Director Lee has taken measures. - Don't do this to me. I'll get in trouble.

I'll take full responsibility.

Go away.

Want a cup of coffee? Americano?

No!

Mars, Mars...

It's all Mars.

Even trainees are allowed. Why not Cotton Candy?

Seriously.

- Du-ho. - Huh?

Hi.

You didn't go with Highteen to Europe?

Huh?

Oh, well.

I'm afraid of airplanes.

All of a sudden?

I'm scared of heights.

Oh.

You know...

Yeah.

The leader of Cotton Candy.

Jenna?

She sang a song in the studio,

and you danced.

Yeah.

Who wrote that song?

Jenna.

It's good, right?

We're putting it in the next album.

Then

give me Jenna's phone number.

Huh?

No.

Don't try to make a move.

No.

That's not it. I just want to ask her something.

No.

No!

Come to think of it, I don't know you that well.

Why are you acting friendly?

Don't call me.

Du-ho...

Boo!

Yay, it's our song.

Hey, I really

didn't want to make a celebrity work.

But the delivery guys are on a strike.

I'm sorry.

In return,

I'll play your songs all day long.

Well.

I have a lot on my mind.

So I'll work hard to clear out my thoughts.

It's here?

Yeah. In the basement.

They're going live in 20 minutes.

You're really going to do this?

Why are you here?

Don't pick a fight and leave.

We have to do a show.

You said you'll make me famous.

You said I'll hit the jackpot

with one photo on your social media.

If I go on your show, I might become world-famous.

What?

Tell people to come watch a failed idol singer.

Tout for business.

What can you do?

Everything.

The Last Boss Two Men

Grade school kids should go to bed.

Sad it's over Dance again

How did she become a ruined idol singer?

It's a mystery to me.

It's a mystery.

I'd love a cold beer.

Nothing is impossible.

Do whatever you want.

I'm parched.

Since I danced, let's drink.

The response is explosive.

You're making a mistake.

A bird woke me up this morning.

Was it a lark?

- Or... - Stop.

If you think about the lines, you ruin it.

I told you to relax your shoulders.

Didn't I tell you to breathe out first?

How many times do I have to tell you?

Let's see the script.

Hey.

Your glass is flowing like a river.

I'm done.

Here.

It's really popular.

Thank you.

What is she doing here?

What?

She's the youngest in Cotton Candy.

What's with her?

Is she lashing out because they're disbanding?

Something bad might happen.

These guys aren't good people.

I paid in advance.

What's up, Ae-rin?

We're in big trouble.

Where are you?

Huh? Hey!

Where are you going?

Make sure nothing happens until I get there.

I'll try.

Hurry.

- Okay. See you. - Excuse me!

Excuse me.

What?

The chicken has already been paid for.

That's not it.

I need to ask you a favor.

I'm in a hurry.

Let's talk later.

You can't get a cab here.

Du-ho

Why is your youngest doing a show there?

She has her reasons.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

You can't do it alone.

Is this fun to you?

I drank it.

Your turn.

Tell Jenna to leave! Jenna, go away!

Yeah, right! Let go.

I said I hold my liquor better than him!

Don't do that.

Are you joking?

Stop!

Move!

Jenna!

Is he insane?

Let's go!

Who are you?

Thank you.

What's going on? What happened to her?

Wait.

She reeks of booze.

Careful, careful.

Careful.

Hyun-ji, lie down.

What's wrong with her?

Well then.

I'll be going now.

Okay, Ae-rin.

Thanks for everything.

Ae-rin, what happened?

Are you happy now?

How could you go there?

What were you thinking?

What if something happened to you?

I went, knowing they were doing a live show.

They won't do anything during a live show.

What's this? Huh?

Let go.

Let go. It's my money!

You think I'll give up if you act like this?

What's going on?

Okay.

The world is right.

We're finished.

I'll admit it.

A second chance?

That doesn't exist.

I deceived all of you.

I was giving false hope.

Was this what you wanted to hear?

Huh?

Were you waiting for me to say that?

Is that why you're acting up?

Just to hear me say that?

Okay.

Give up.

Stop now.

I won't hold you back.

But I won't stop.

If you leave,

I'll get someone to fill your spot.

If Elle leaves, I'll get someone else.

If Chae-ah leaves, I'll fill her spot, too.

Filling our spots won't work.

It won't work!

I'll still do it!

So you can leave,

and do whatever you want.

Find a good-paying job and live a good life.

Do you

know what kind of money this is?

That chubby fool

didn't eat,

didn't dress himself and saved up.

Hey.

Do you go to TV stations wearing this?

No, it's a casual T-shirt.

I'm going to throw it away later.

His dream was

getting married, buying a small place...

I can super glue this.

...and having a daughter and son.

What is that?

What kind of dream is that?

For that,

he won't eat

or dress properly. He's saving up.

Isn't he an idiot?

Even if he's from the deep countryside,

how can he be so naïve?

It's that kind of money.

But for a delinquent like me,

he gives that money to those trashy bastards.

I won't have it.

Why is that fool our agent?

Why is our agent such a fool?

Why did we fail,

ending up sponging off of that fool?

All of you! Get out!

Hyun-ji!

Hyun-ji!

Are you okay?

Hyun-ji!

Hyun-ji...

Sir.

Where are you now?

I just got off the plane. What's so urgent?

You said you'll only sign me on.

Yes.

I also told you not to take too long.

Did you make a decision?

Yes.

Good.

Rest up for the remaining contract period.

Plans for you will be

discussed with the planning team.

I'll die with them.

No.

I will

survive with them.

I won't stay on by myself.

If you must throw us out six months from now,

then do it.

The captain who tries to save only himself

on a sinking boat will be you, not me.

What's this?

Oh...

It's not waterproofed.

Oh, dear.

Come on. It's okay.

We can clean up.

Let's clean.

Fight on! Fight on!

Great!

How can water leak?

How much is the monthly rent?

When do we got to step on land?

When will you hang up a mirror?

Fun, right?

Let's go!

Sir!

Seriously.

But there's something that captain doesn't know.

Our boat

will not sink.

Also...

Don't try to use me to feel less guilty.

I'm not that big of a fool

to not know that.

I'll be going now.

We have an important gig to prepare for.

What happened to getting a studio?

This is why

we failed.

How can you all be so incompetent?

Just you wait.

See who's the real big shot of Cotton Candy.

Hi, there.

I'm Oh Hyun-ji.

Oh, well.

Can I borrow your dance studio

later in the evening?

It's all booked?

A dance competition?

Everywhere else, too?

Oh, uh.

Okay. Thanks.

Jeez.

Big shot, my foot.

You just got shot down.

Don't laugh.

Okay.

Until Jenna's breakfast is done,

let's go stretch.

Wow. Look at your love handles.

What are you talking about?

I dance at clubs every night.

Come on.

Let's go.

Jenna.

You didn't deceive us, did you?

We're not finished yet, right?

The world is wrong, right?

They know nothing!

You're unbelievable.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

Where has Elle gone this early in the morning?

Should we just kick her out?

I told you you don't have to repay me.

I'd rather

you buy me a meal for real some time.

That will never happen.

Goodbye.

Are you going to disband us?

Why are you asking me that?

I heard you were planning to.

That's for CEO Ma to decide.

As an investor and Management HQ director,

I advised him to do that.

Then you can give him different advice.

Like what?

Give our team one more chance.

A chance?

A chance is given

to those who can actually succeed.

But you don't know us...

Meeting me this way is not good.

I wasn't pleased when you asked to borrow money.

But I can overlook it.

That is

the kind of chance I give.

Because I'm not that cold-blooded.

You should've stopped then.

When I told you you didn't have to repay me.

Hello?

Hi, Elle.

We got the soundtrack. Can you come later?

The music director will come, too.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay!

Hey, this part...

- Whatever. - Come over here.

- No. - Come on.

Let's first get it right.

The chicken that crashed the live show.

It was you, right?

Huh?

Jeez.

You know how freaked out I was?

It was a good idea,

but some people are sharp.

They find out who you are

even through reflections on a spoon.

Because of Hyun-ji, they let the chicken slide.

Isn't that a relief?

But I'm mad they let it slide.

I guess it's an occupational hazard.

Of course, we can't complain when Cotton Candy

didn't make the gossip column after all that.

Why did she do that?

I don't know.

Okay!

Let's go again.

Okay.

Wait.

I'm pooped. Let's get something sweet.

Why? I'm on a roll.

One more, then a break.

No.

Don't.

So suddenly?

Let's go.

- Let's go, let's go. - For real?

- You can drink water... - No, let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

I'll make a quick call, then join you.

Order a latte for me

with a lot of syrup in it.

Let's make it quick.

Thanks.

Come out, Du-ho.

I said come out.

No one's here.

How long were you in there?

Ji-han...

Get out.

Wait.

Ji-han...

I won't lock the doors when I leave.

You must've skipped dinner.

We'll be practicing for another hour.

Ji-han!

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

You have to do it like this.

Not like this, but like this.

Your hair is doing all the work.

Seriously.

Even a bear can roll over.

He did his job as an agent well this time.

Huh? It's Du-ho.

Du-ho!

Hey, guys!

Is that a person or a boar?

When we make a comeback, let's ditch him.

The agent should look cool

for the artist to look cool.

Let's ask for Edward.

Seriously.

Did that just fall off?

I put it together with super glue.

Jeez.

Hyun-ji!

I tried to sort things out.

How?

I tried to get

another gig

other than Jicheon Marketplace.

That's nonsense!

Right. So it didn't work out.

I failed.

They're called

"Jicheon Marketplace National Singing Contest."

I asked them to take out "marketplace."

They printed everything out, so they said no.

Are you kidding me?

So I asked them

to at least change the words on the banner.

To take out "marketplace."

They said yes.

I pestered them so bad.

So even if

you don't like it, I hope you can let it slide.

From now on,

I will never

get a gig in the marketplace.

Don't be mad.

- Whatever. - I'm sorry.

Hyun-ji!

It's not like I have

high hopes for this gig.

But

I feel terrible about what I did to Jenna.

So I'm going to do my best.

Elle.

I know you haven't voted yet.

Huh?

I'm on my way.

Elle

Elle is coming!

Really?

Don't lie.

She's on her way now.

What? Awesome.

I'll be going now.

Hello.

It's been a long time.

Was there a job here?

Yes.

A soundtrack?

Yes.

Okay.

Director!

Yes?

Has CEO Ma

not mentioned our comeback?

Comeback?

Didn't Jenna tell you?

Huh?

Tell me what?

I don't believe her.

Your contract won't be renewed.

You'll be disbanded.

CEO Ma said he finished talking with Jenna.

She didn't tell you?

Why go back to the office all of a sudden?

Will it take long?

Want us to wait?

No. You can go.

Huh?

Isn't that Elle from Cotton Candy?

- Chae-ah. - Huh?

I don't think our uniform will fit.

Did you gain weight?

No, I didn't.

You're so cute.

See?

I'm glad Elle is coming.

No one can sing Elle's part, right?

But

why did she change her mind?

Right. What changed her mind?

Huh?

Elle!

Hey.

I brought comfortable clothes, just in case.

Hold on.

It's so good all of us are here.

I heard we're disbanding.

I heard CEO Ma informed you.

Wha...what is she saying?

Jenna...

Jenna?

He's disbanding us.

But you...

He's keeping you.

Just her?

Why won't you answer me?

Why can't you answer?

Jenna...

Is it true or not?

Kim Jenna!

We thank Kim Byeong-joon and Im Seo-won for their special appearance

IDOL [IDOL: The Coup]

Were you worried we'd sabotage you staying?

You're disbanding us?

Give me one more chance, Sir.

It means we're going back to those crappy days!

Blaming me.

That's all you do.

If I obediently take this song,

what will you do for me?

There's only one person who has the right

to determine the future of our group.

Sir, please give us another chance.

Give them another chance.

You can do it.
