A week after they started training, they performed in front of her for the first time, but they were harshly criticized, with comments such as “Do you really think you can become singers with just this?” and “Your dancing is like a school play.”

They are confused as they face a reality that is harsher than they could have ever imagined, but will they be able to grow without anyone falling behind as she gives them evaluations every week?

The members have decided to hold their first live performance at a prestigious high school that has produced many entertainers. They will perform in front of over 500 students, but an unexpected incident occurs when James, the only member who has never performed live, falls ill from the pressure. Watch for yourself to see how the five members, who have only just met, overcome the crisis they face before their first performance.
