Imitation

Idol trainee Lee Ma-ha's dream of debuting in a girl group is cut short when the news of a fellow trainee who had committed suicide breaks out and disturbs the K-pop industry.

After an eventful movie shoot, Ma-ha chooses to quit pursuing idol stardom and start a new life, a decision seconded by her teammates Yu Ri-ah and Shim Hyun-ji.

Controversy is stirred amongst Shax fans when Ma-ha is photographed returning Ryok's jacket to him after a television shoot. Ryok is forced to apologise to fans, who brazenly demand Shax avoid Ri-ma and Ma-ha at all costs.

Shax's CEO Park Jin-man forces the group to appear on a music show, despite their pledge to do otherwise for their juniors' sakes. The move leads junior artists, including Tea Party, to have shorter screentimes.

During the film promotion tour, Ma-ha and Ryok find themselves in a tight spot as Shax's fans storm the halls of their accommodation. Ji Hak is confronted by Jung-hee who is investigating Eun-jo's disappearance.

Ryok visits Ma-ha outside of her apartment but is chased off by Hyun-ji and Ri-ah. Ma-ha is cast for a sitcom along with Ryok's co-members Do-jin and Hyuk.
