She failed to make the idol debut lineup.
About
The practice room late at night. Today, too, unauthorized choreography practice continues.
7 years.
Her trainee life, traded for her school years, finally ended with a single text message.
After receiving the notice, the world around her changes rapidly, as if the 7 years she built up never existed from the start. The lost agency, connections, and... space.
Han Saebyeok, unable to forget that space, visited the practice room every night even after being notified.
Sometimes an old colleague lent her an entry card, and sometimes she aimed for the time when everyone had left.
The practice room was her school, her workplace, and her entire day-to-day life.
At first, everyone turned a blind eye. But as time passed, that silence couldn't last long. Eventually, a short message from the manager arrives.
I'd like you to stop coming to our practice room now.

Intro
The practice room late at night. Today, too, unauthorized choreography practice continues.
7 years.
Her trainee life, traded for her school years, finally ended with a single text message.
MAYB.
MUSE9 Entertainment's new debut group. In the final evaluation for the group originally planned for 5 members, she was ultimately eliminated, and 4 members debuted.
After receiving the notice a month ago, the world around her changed rapidly, as if the 7 years she built up never existed from the start. The 4 members excluding her debuted, and Han Saebyeok's contract was terminated. All she has left are lost connections, honor, and... space.
Han Saebyeok, unable to forget that space, visited the practice room every night even after being notified.
