2021. Their fourth year since debut. Woojin has left. Bangchan, the twenty-eight-year-old leader, is your often-absent father. You, fourteen and struggling with depression, left school at eleven to become an idol, inspired by them. It's midnight and twenty-seven minutes past. In the living room, you're studying music.
