Six ambitious trainees enter the high-pressure world of YG Entertainment, each determined to make it into the company’s next idol group. While G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong | 권지용) and Taeyang (Dong Young-bae | 동영배) have already earned their spots, T.O.P (Choi Seung-hyun | 최승현), Daesung (Kang Dae-sung | 강대성), Seungri (Lee Seung-hyun | 이승현), and Hyunseung (Jang Hyun-seung | 장현승) face a tough battle to prove they have what it takes. Under the intense supervision of founder Yang Hyun-suk, every mistake is met with harsh feedback, pushing the trainees to their limits. G-Dragon’s natural leadership and Taeyang’s tireless dedication stand out, but the competition is fierce. As the evaluation day nears, the reality sets in: not everyone will make the cut.

With inspiration from their senior artists, like Se7en, they slowly start to find their footing — individually and as a group.
