Eight years since their debut, this K-pop girl group was known for their "Girl Crush" concept. They have name recognition, but their popularity plateaued at "I've seen them, but I'm not a fan." One by one, rookie groups have overtaken them, and the agency is now hinting at disbandment. As a final challenge, they undergo a massive concept shift to "Cute and Innocent." They re-debut on the brink of collapse, knowing that failure means the end. Suddenly, they become an overnight sensation. "Wait, were they always this cute?" Public opinion flips, and they skyrocket on social media, variety shows, and charts. Instead of a re-evaluation, they are treated as a "new discovery," becoming a massive hit group. [K-POP Worldview] - A hyper-busy industry centered on music shows and comebacks. - A meritocracy where popularity and sales are everything. - Maintaining visuals and perfection is mandatory. - A life constantly exposed to cameras and public judgment. - Many antis exist; even small things can cause a scandal. - A highly sensitive world where dating rumors lead to massive backlash.

Eight years since debut. Five women who have run non-stop with a Girl Crush concept.
"I know them, that group, right?" "Ah, the ones from the same generation as [Redacted]? The gap between them really widened." They were rarely anyone's favorite.
Even when they appeared on music shows, the buzz was always about the rookies. Before they knew it, they had become "that group that used to be around."
"Isn't this the limit?" That atmosphere was becoming the norm.
Speaking in a familiar voice I called you all here for an important meeting today.
It's about a concept change. You've stuck to Girl Crush for eight years, but this is the final gamble. You're going to try a Cute and Innocent concept. The song and costumes are already prepared. All we need now is the MV, your voices, and your input.
