Pueng,

What would you do if you were…

If I were you?

Hmm (mumbling)

I...

would prove myself to be better than them, I guess.

Prove?

What else is there to prove? Huh?

You need to take it slow, Pop.

This world is so unfair!

This could be a test, you know?

Can you...

stay over tonight?

Hello.

Where are you!

On my way.

If you’re so messed up

then you can just email to quit.

No hard feelings.

Yeah whatever.

OK so now that we’re all here,

let’s start the meeting.

First agenda on the list is

about changing the band manager.

I’m sorry,

what did you just say?

Changing the band manager!

Why have I not heard of this before?

What do you mean?

No one has given me a notice on this!

You should have known.

You should have known!

About what?

We all agree that

you should be looking after the 2nd season instead.

They need you.

Me?

I kind of agree with Satta.

Who else can be it be.

Do you realize

their rating is shockingly low right now.

Can you really just abandon them?

Only you can help them out, Purim.

I’m not a babysitter here.

Purim.

As long as you’re still working for the company,

please respect our decision.

We feel as difficult as you are right now.

Difficult?

Yes.

Though you’ve been wanting to kick me out for so long now?

Huh?

I believe our decision is a final verdict.

Bunlai has made it very clear.

You should take it seriously too, Purim.

Purim!

I’m only giving you an advance notice here.

You will start your new role this coming week.

Does any of you have anything else to say?

Any problem?

huh?

No more question.

Good!

Let’s move on to the next agenda then.

It’s Bangkok Music Festival.

Sure. I’ll sort this out for you.

What the F….

Wipe your mouth?

What? Something on my face?

Your mouth.

Your mouth.

You.

Lick ass much?

At least I got rid of you.

Don’t be so sure.

What would a trash like you know.

They all agree with me.

I think...

I know them better.

I know what they would think.

Why don’t you ask them yourself?

Are you defying me?

No, I’m not.

Why don’t you ask them yourself?

They’re right by the fish tank

having a live session.

Hi, I’m Kathy.

Hi, I’m Tangkwa.

Hi, I’m Angle.

Hi, I’m Praeploy.

Hi, I’m Vasa.

Hi, I’m Punch.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you so much.

Don’t forget to hit subscribe.

Please subscribe or follow us, especially me.

And me.

And me.

I love you guys.

Follow us.

And me.

Thank you guys.

See you soon.

Hey,

why did you barge in like that?

But…

If you ever did that again,

I’ll have my fans crash you down.

But I don’t have that many followers…yet.

You were such a brat.

What’s your problem? Everyone does it.

B R A T.

and it’s pronounced ‘brat’.

Next time you go on a front row.

Yes.

What did I do wrong?

Shut up!

Stay quiet

or else I’ll tell Satta.

I need to talk to you.

Me?

Hmm.

But I don’t.

You know about this.

Don’t you?

About what?

About me being taken off the group?

Satta...

And that bloody Satta is taking over.

Oh.

Of course I did.

Because...

it was my idea.

Is there a problem?

Look around you.

No one’s listening to you anymore.

You know?

You're...

acting more and more like a nagging uncle by the day.

You’re fussy, you’re boring.

It’s driving me nuts,

don’t you realize?

I’m not being fussy, Kathy.

It’s called discipline.

And if you keep being the way you are,

one day

other bands

will become far more better than you.

Really?

Does it look like I give a shit?

But I do!

We’ve been on this journey together for a long time.

You were a nobody, Kathy.

You were nothing.

No one even recognized you.

So.

Uncle,

oh!

I mean bro

are you saying

I am who I am today...

because of you?

Is that what you’re saying?

So...

Then why don’t we try NOT having you?

We will prove that we can still make it

without you.

Hey guys.

Come over here.

Take a listen this joke.

This old nagging uncle is saying

we’ll be nothing without him.

Nothing without him?

Oops. Someone slept in?

Whoa what’s good news?

Sold some gold?

Nope.

Won lotto?

No!

Oh oh

I know.

Smile like this.

Fresh like this.

Must be a kiss.

No.

More.

With who?

Uncle Nim?

Nooo.

Who else can it be.

Oh well. Don’t wanna know any more.

Walk away and you won’t get paid.

Who was it?

Just tell me.

Pop.

Who?

Pop.

I couldn’t hear you.

It’s Pop.

You’re kidding me!

Wait.

Where are you…?

Bunlai is not…

Where is he?

He’s in the restroom.

Would you like to…

You did the right thing.

You think?

Definitely.

Pop is so outdated.

Acting so serious with lots of rules

is not gonna be able to pull it off with the kids.

Do you think you’ll be able to handle?

Sure, I can!

Harder. Make it harder.

Does it feel good?

I’m here to quit!

Hey!

Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something!

You two

really think you can handle the band, huh?

I don’t see how I can’t.

I’m an investor here.

And when I team up with those girls,

you are just one big loser.

A loser huh?

Let me tell you what.

Satta is a real loser.

Hey!

Do whatever you want. If you want to quit and prove

whatever shit you think you’re doing then that’s fine.

But please,

please make sure to do it in writing.

We have rules here.

What the f…. what? What do you want?

What?

What?

Bunlai.

What?

You’re hurting my legs…

And my hands too.

Hi. This is Pop – from SMA7H.

I’m calling in regards to your investment…

Did Bunlai send you to talk to me?

Hello,

The deal we’ve talked about.

I would like to ask for an investment

at half the cost of SMA7H.

Well… I don’t know.

We feel kinda uncomfortable without Bunlai on board.

Let’s just say…

Can I ask for your faith?

I don’t think so.

I have a project I’d like to propose for your investment.

Bunlai sent me.

Auntie,

You should just give up.

Muay!

I mean it!

Maybe that night was a mistake.

Maybe he’s too ashamed to come see you again.

You!!

You can leave now.

I’ll take care of the rest.

Sure?

Sure.

Hi.

This is Pop, Purim from SMA7H.

I am asking

if anyone is interested in investing

with me.

Everyone!

If you have faith in me,

I ask you to...

step out with me!!

I am aware

you’ve been so sick and tired working here

because it’s getting you nowhere.

You have to suck up to this bullshit boss to survive.

I mean how can you put up with this shit?

How can you put up with this fucking office?

I encourage those of you to step out with me.

Pop Purim,

the only one that believes in you all.

I understand

the amount of pressure you’re under

I know you’re worried and threatened.

So whenever you come to terms with it,

feel free to call me.

Any time at all...

tomorrow,

the day after,

or even next week.

And...

guys...

I’m sure you all know where to find my number.

But if you don’t, let me leave a note for you here.

Here!

I will put this here.

I'm...

Pop, Purim.

Those of you who believe in me,

please give me a call.

Resignation forms

are on my desk,

feel free to pick up a copy.

Anyone wants to quit with him?

Mr.Korn,

Mr. Purim is here.

Mr. Purim.

Hello Mr. Korn,

I’m Purim.

Thank you so much for your time.

Hi Mr. Purim.

Hi.

Please.

I’ll start then.

Hello everyone.

I’m Pop Purim.

You can find my presentation in the folder I’ve given out.

As some of you may know,

during the past 5 years,

girl group market

has been growing tremendously.

In 2018,

SMA7H owned majority of market share at 70%.

But then in 2022,

SMA7H market share declined

from scandals of certain band members.

Another problem has a lot to do with discipline.

which is extremely critical for girl groups these days,

But...

I already have a solution to this.

Thank you so much.

Terrific presentation!

I can’t wait to see your band.

Yes.

Can you make it happen in 6 months?

Six months?

Yes.

In the next 6 months

there’ll be the Idol Battle event.

I want your new band to perform on stage,

if you can make it.

Sure can.

But...

there’s once tiny hiccup about the venue.

Don't worry.

I’ve sorted this out for you.

Jutamas will work with you on details.

Mr. Purim.

Goodbye.

Are you sure you’re going ahead with this, Mr. Korn?

6 months lead time isn’t easy.

How will you be able to set up a band

with cutting edge like S’more.

Hey!

S-Much.

Smash. It’s Smash.

I believe we’re in good hands with Mr. Pop on board.

I think...

Not only the potential of sending our artists abroad

but we can turn them to actresses

brand ambassadors even.

I agree.

With my son joining the band,

it would help bring so much spotlight in already.

Wow.

I can use this space for free, for real?

I’ve bought it for quite a few years

now and still don’t know what to do with it.

Are you sure?

I’m positive.

You can turn it into a debut camp.

No worries ok?

Ok. Thanks very much.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is Plaifah.

Pop,

Did you know you can actually get older from doing that?

Don’t tell me you believe in that kind of myth.

Let me ask you something...

If you could turn back time,

what’s one thing that you’d like to do the most?

Maybe...

Find true love.

Leaving already?

Where’s Pueng?

Well, we’ve been closed for some time now.

What? Why?

Well,

Pop...

Peung is…

She is…

What’s wrong with her?

She’s…ummm…

Tell me. What’s wrong with Pueng?

What the hell!

1 month later.

Mr. Bun.

What are you doing sleeping in office hours.

I’ve got something to show you. Look at this.

On my right here is a face you should all be familiar with.

He has been in the business for a long long time

and now it’s my pleasure to announce that,

Mr.Pop Purim is working with us.

Hello.

And on my left here is our latest kid on the block.

Let me introduce you to Cherrie.

captain of AGA1N.

Hello.

Join us again at the Idol Battle at the end of the year.

But you only have 6 months to go.

Would that be enough time?

Time is never a problem for us.

AGA1N is always ready.

Appears like they want a war against us Mr. Bun!!

They’re just bluffing.

But Mr. Korn is his investor.

I don’t think he’ll let it go easily.

Why would someone like Mr. Korn want an idol band?

It doesn’t make sense.

I have no idea either.

Let me tell you something.

Korn had zero artist before except for his stupid son.

Can’t you see

they only launch teen idol band

just to gain temporary rating.

Pop will never survive…

even for another 6 months,

6 years, 6 lives.

They will never be able to win us over!!

Hey guys!

I’ve got great news for you all!!

But...

we have bad ones.

What is it?

I’ve quitted. I’m sorry.

Prae quitted?

Since when?

Lunchtime.

She came to say goodbye and left.

Too ashamed to face you.

Prae's been crying for a few days now.

I would have talked to her if I knew.

Cherrie.

Cherrie, Jutatip Seangwan.

Nadear.

Nadear, Ramavadee Chokmanusorn.

Mimi.

Mimi, Rinrada Teekatapong.

Plaifah.

Plaifah, Penpat Kairapee.

Kumpuy.

Kumpuy, Surirat Dasri.

you all have to help me out here.

We will open another round of audition

to find the 6th member.

Are you with me?

Yes!!

Yes!! Let’s do it!

Hi. Introduce yourself, please.

Soulxia.

Why do you want to be in AGA1N?

I just love singing…and dancing.

She’s a bit rude.

I don’t like her.

Should we cut her off?

Well…

thank you.

Gosh. Cross her off.

Hello, my name is Meeyok.

Why do you want to be in our band?

Well, being an idol...

would give me...

I believe we should let you go.

What’s wrong with her?

She’s drowsing.

Film,

Film!

Film!

Not waking up.

Mew Suppasit is here!!!

What?

Wow.

That was great, First.

Why else do you want to join AGA1N?

I’ve been following your work since SMA7H.

I want to be like Kathy.

Can you turn me into Kathy, Mr. Purim?

But you sing so well…

No.

I’m gonna be like Kathy!

I want to be like Kathy!

I’m gonna be Kathy! I’m gonna be Kathy!

I’m gonna be Kathy! I’m gonna be Kathy!

How many more do we have?

Only one last girl.

Let me know when you’re done.

Hi Mr. Korn.

How was your audition? Mr. Purim.

Everything’s looking great.

But I cannot decide yet.

I know we don’t have that much time left.

I trust you, Mr. Purim.

Thanks Mr. Korn.

Why...

do you want to be in AGA1N?

I like it.

Like? What do you mean by ‘like’?

Oh!

I mean

I like

like dancing.

I like acting. Something like that.

I see.

But you don’t appear too fond

of acting, singing, or dancing.

I’m still trying!

And I’m not giving up.

And if you give me a chance,

I’ll do my best.

And...

Have you auditioned anywhere else before?

Never.

Don’t you want to try the water?

No.

But...

They might accept you right away.

If I don’t make it here this time.

I would think of it as…

Maybe I’ve not put enough effort into it.

And I’ll ask for another chance to go back,

practice, prepare myself,

and come back.

Don’t do that.

They say it makes you grow old faster.

Well,

What do you think your gift is?

Perseverance.

Can perseverance be a gift?

Yes!

Think about it.

If we give up easily

no matter how many great opportunities come in,

they will mean nothing.

Nothing! But if we keep persevering,

even if we have zero chance.

It will be come ours one day.

I truly believe that way.

Ok.

We’re done.

That’s it?

Well,

Will I get to see you again?

Oh don’t worry.

If you pass our audition,

we will see each other again.

I’ll be taking care of AGA1N personally.

Ok.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're the last for today.

Hope I get to see you...

again.

Cherrie, what do you think?

She’s not bad at singing.

But the dancing it’s a little awkward.

Plaifah.

You think you can train this one?

No no no way.

Let’s pick someone else now.

Bro, wait!

Wait. Let her sing.

She’s...

not bad actually.

Maybe she just needs some time.

Need to fix the tone a little though.

She could be like me. I take a while to warm up.

You’re way slower than her.

Let’s see how she dance.

Maybe she can dance even better than Nadear.

If this was true.

I like her.

What?

You guys don’t think so?

She?

Yeah.

She doesn’t have that shine.

Yeah.

Just average.

I agree.

True that.

But she doesn’t seem very talkative.

Because she’s not like you.

So...

If not her,

then who would you girls pick?

No more choice?

None.

So,

Why don’t we have another round of audition?

We don’t have time for it.

Think about it.

Each of you five

is unique in your own way already.

If we add another ordinary one in,

it shouldn’t be a problem right?

Right?

Ahh.

So...

Up to you then.

That’s a wrap then.

She’s in!

Repeat after me.

Up

and down.

Up

and down.

Shit,

Shit,

this hurts!

It feels so stiff!

Yeah!

Done!

Let’s take a break.

Where’s the new girl, bro?

I’ve not seen her too.

Ditching on the first day. That’s not good.

Come on girls.

Let’s go over the hook again.

Come on.

Stand on your mark.

Mimi and Nadear,

can you swap your positions?

And...

Kumpuy,

you take Plaifah’s position.

Plaifah, you come up right in the front here.

Don’t steal the spotlight.

Shhhh. You were prying on every before.

Now you can see everything from the back.

Pop,

Should we call someone else in?

But...

we still have time though.

I don’t think...

we should just wait around for just one person.

Yeah. We’re not gonna get anywhere.

So,

Let me see what I can do.

You girls carry on first.

Can you turn the music back on, Plaifah?

Hi, this is Pop Purim.

Is this Kate’s number?

You came in for an audition the other day?

I’m sorry.

I'm sorry.

Have we already started?

One practice down.

I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.

Were you running?

Yes, I was running from across the street.

Traffic’s so bad, I was afraid I was gonna be late.

Would you like to sit and rest first?

No need.

I’m ready.

I’m ready to meet everyone.

They asked...

why I chose you.

And...

what was your answer?

I didn’t.

But it’s you

who has to prove to everyone yourself.

Are you ready?

Definitely!

If you can’t fit in,

or you’re not accepted by the rest of them,

there’s nothing I can do about it.

No matter how much I like you.

He’s hot!

He’s so hot.
