the BIGBANG members are thrown into the harsh world of training, and it’s not all smooth sailing. Yang Hyun-suk’s brutal critique of Youngbae (동영배)—calling his style bland—leaves him questioning his place in the group.
The tension is palpable, but the members lean on each other, bonding through stories of shared struggles. With inspiration from their senior artists, like Se7en, they slowly start to find their footing — individually and as a group.
