Girl Crush

Inspired by Erian’s sincerity (and her own unexpected jealousy), Tenka decides that she’s going to audition at a famous Korean talent agency. But although her research powers and ability to memorize moves have helped Tenka excel in the past, the judges seem to be looking for something more than just flawless technique. Does Tenka have a chance at becoming an idol when the only thing she’s good at is being perfect?

After Tenka fails to get a callback from her audition and a drop-in dance class reveals that her moves aren’t actually all that, she heads back to Japan to restart her real life. But a heartfelt conversation with a dear friend helps Tenka realize she’s not ready to give up on her dream or herself! Now she just needs to find an agency that’s willing to give her a chance.

Tenka, Jiwoo, and their new competitor and colleague Minchae have been accepted as trainees for LJH’s special project. But getting that coveted spot at an agency is only the beginning—now Tenka and her friendly rivals need to earn the right to stay in the program. Can Tenka’s hard-won confidence survive the overwhelming skill of the senior trainees and the stress of choosing the perfect song for her first big evaluation?

The monthly evaluations at LJH are coming up fast, and Tenka and her friendly rivals’ futures at the company hang in the balance. Not satisfied with just passing their first test, the trio want to wow their trainers with a group performance that’s as cool as it is cute. But when an unexpected wrinkle threatens the group, can team captain Tenka make the right decision for more than just herself?

Tenka thought she knew how hard idol training would be, but she isn’t prepared for a last-minute change in the assignment that totally throws her off her game! While crash-landing her first monthly eval is a lot to bounce back from, she’s determined not to let it get her down. But will that resolve be enough to help her rise above her limited experience when she’s offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Auditions for LJH’s special new project are kicking off! Getting in isn’t the only challenge, though. Tenka also has to fight for a specific role in the group, and she’s up against Sua, the “upgraded version” of herself! Tenka’s not afraid to put in the effort to get what she wants, but will an unexpected pitfall show her that sometimes hard work doesn’t pay off?

Tenka and Sua may have made it on the LJH special-project team, but that’s only their first challenge. In order to get a spot at the audition for the new three-company idol group, they’re going to have to crush the next monthly evaluation. But seeing Tenka in action is giving Sua a lot of feelings about her own experience as an idol trainee. Will she be able to get her head in the game in time for the evals, or will all the stress goad her into making a career-ending bad choice?

As the critical monthly evaluation nears, Tenka and her team finally start to gel as Sua lets down her competitive guard and opens up to the others. But when the big day comes, all the unity in the world might not be enough to overcome a sudden wardrobe malfunction that puts Sua’s composure to the test. With only five coveted spots available on the special-project team, who has the talent to make the final cut?
