♪ Come watch me ♪

[A-ri] Some people are just dying
to show off how happy they are.

[both chuckle]

Why, you ask?

[Min-hye] This looks better, right?

[Min-hye] A husband that cooks.

Even though he's busy too.

This is true happiness, right?

How to become a VVIP at Louis Vuitton?

It's simple.

You just need to spend 100,000 USD a year.

[chuckles]

Huh?

Oh wow, I haven't even removed
the tags from this guy.

[laughs] I didn't even know I bought this.

When did I buy this bag?

[chimes]

[man] Yeah, looking fine. Wow!

Huh? [laughs]

Honey, I look good?

Smashing.

You are my wife, after all.

Take a good hard look, everyone.
This is the woman I live with.

[both laugh]

[A-ri] The more you have,
the bigger deal you are.

- Oh, come on.
- How much love and attention you get.

You're just promoting my clinic.
Why do you need to take my picture?

Do it for me.

I don't have much to brag about

besides the fact
that my husband's a doctor, okay?

Just look here. Look.

- Smile.
- [camera shutter clicks]

- [Chae-hee] Ta-da!
- [chimes]

So pretty, right?

This one's a color called "Elwood Blue."
Apparently, this is the only one in Korea.

I'm bringing this beauty home today.

[A-ri] In this world,

anything can become an object
of admiration and envy.

What do you think? Do you like it?

[A-ri] But don't you think

there were

others that might've felt differently?

People that were bothered
by the rampant humblebragging

and showboating
of the have-it-alls in this space.

I dislike likes, everyone.

[pensive music playing]

WHY VOLUNTEER TO BE A SERVANT?
I'M SORRY, BUT NO THANKS

What's this?
She's totally talking about us, isn't she?

She might be talking about you.

Your handle literally
has "princess" in it.

- What?
- She dissed the whole Gabin Society.

She's carrying a grudge
after what happened today.

- Even me?
- [Yu-rang] That's how they're taking it.

Everyone's going nuts,
saying she's after us.

Oh sh*t.
What are you going to do about this?

You're the one
who brought Seo A-ri into the group.

People who were bothered by this culture
of worship and blind adoration.

I wasn't going after them.

I took a calculated risk.

A leap of faith
that I could reach these people.

I hoped that somewhere out there,
there were others like me,

I knew that they must be

just as disgusted by all this
and dying to speak out.

I risked everything on this small group.

I bet it all on my 9,100 followers.

[chimes]

PLEASE FOLLOW BACK.
LET'S CONNECT, A-RI.

#LETS_CONNECT

DONGBU POLICE STATION

[Jang] Your reaction's different
from the others.

I mean, I've already met
with some of her acquaintances.

[breathes deeply]

How do I put this?

They seem to be holding
a grudge against her.

Like they resented Seo A-ri.

Seo A-ri had

a large target painted on her back.

The truth won't win you any friends,
you know.

That's what I really liked about A-ri.

She was honest.

A transparent person.

And you didn't have

any personal conflicts with Seo A-ri?

[sighs]

No, I had none whatsoever.

[Tae-jeon] You're back?

Oh, honey.

You look tired.

You know how it is with these things.

I heard you had a drink
with Jun-kyoung after.

Who told you that?

Chae-hee did.

She talked about the same woman
and went nuts.

Asking about her ties to Jun-kyoung.

[phone ringing]

- [chuckles] It's your sister.
- [chuckles]

Hey, Chae-hee.

What was that?
Just slow down a little bit.

What do you mean?

A-ri attacked the Gabin Society?

[Jun-kyoung breathes heavily]

[pensive music playing]

I DON'T LIKE LIKES, EVERYONE.

From the frying pan, into the fire.

[chuckles softly]

- [sighs]
- [phone screen locks]

[Mrs. A-ri knocking on door]
Hey, come out.

[breathes deeply]

Hurry on out. Come on now.

- Why are you banging on my door so early?
- [scoffs]

- God. [grunts]
- Ow! You hit me!

Hey, just what is this? Huh?

You lost your temper
and embarrassed yourself again?

- Why do you care?
- [scoffs]

That's not what matters right now, okay?

Just what were you thinking stirring up
the hornet's nest like this, you dummy?

Huh? Just look.

See how everyone's after you?
How much your follower count has dropped?

[scoffs]

[Mrs. A-ri exhales]

[whines]

[exhales]

Are you seeing this?
How's the situation?

[Ji-na] People spammed A-ri's feed,
and her follower count has dropped.

But Chae-hee,
our feeds are also in trouble.

They called us princesses,
and a bunch of nobodies are mocking us.

[Chae-hee] Ugh! Seo A-ri, that b*tch!

[sighs]

What am I going to do?
I have to do my stream for an event.

But viewers will ask me about this.
What should I do?

Just do it.

I'll start my stream at the same time.

I'm Jin Chae-hee.

We are the Gabin Society.

You think a nobody like Seo A-ri
can f*ck with us?

[Seung-hyeok] What're you doing?

All that sh*t
about pretending to be besties.

You approached me, remember?

You're jealous of my success,
and now you're dragging me down with you!

Don't be dramatic.

You don't matter enough
for me to work that hard.

What?

Hey, Seo A-ri!

And yesterday,

I was just expressing my honest feelings
on what happened.

What I've seen, and how I felt,
and my experience dealing with you.

[Min-hye] Because of you!

Do you have any idea how f*cked we are?

- [A-ri exhales]
- My feed is a mess.

Because of you, we all are...

- [Seung-hyeok] No, more than that.
- [Min-hye exhales]

Seo A-ri's feed
is taking the brunt of the damage.

You lost 3,000 followers overnight.

6034 FOLLOWERS

Do you know the gravity of this situation?

Your honest feelings?

Who the hell brings up that bullshit
on social media?

It's Jin Chae-hee.
Jin Chae-hee's also starting a livestream.

Jin Chae-hee? Which b*tch is that, huh?

Princess Chae.
She's the endgame boss, you know.

Hey, follow her on my account too.
Let me see this livestream or whatever.

[breathes shakily]

[Chae-hee] Ta-da!
Today's the day I reveal our house.

I mean, you guys have been begging me
to do a house tour for you on livestream.

I'm in a good mood today,
so I'm granting your wish.

Ah, look at this.

These are all the gifts my Insta buddies
sent me for my birthday.

God, I'm so touched. Thank you so much.

And my house has the best view ever.

Take a look at this.
[gasps] Isn't the view out of this world?

God, the weather today is amazing.

Bathroom? You want to see the bathroom?

We have a huge bathtub,
and it has a view of Namsan.

Isn't it the best? [laughs]

[scoffs] Seo A-ri?

Who is that?

[gasps]

Throwing shade on the Gabin Society?
No way!

I don't even know her that well.

Um, was it Min-hye's livestream?

She said she was a salesgirl
going through a hard time.

I guess I met her then.

I mean, I didn't even know her name
till my little Gellattos told me.

[Ji-na chuckles]

That's the part that really bugs me.

I mean, she's dissing us,
but she barely knows us.

This person must be a seething ball
of jealousy and full of self-loathing.

She doesn't have what we're looking for
in the Gabin Society,

but she's jealous.

"This is an inferiority complex thing
with Seo A-ri."

"She's acting out 'cause she's jealous."

"I can't stand bitter people like her."

"Seo A-ri accuses people of being lackeys
because she is one."

I agree!

That's what I think!

I mean, what's wrong with being there
for each other? For your friends?

Just because I'm a princess,
does that make you guys lackeys?

You all are my Insta buddies, right?

[scoffs] I'm so angry
that she's looking down on you

- just because we're friends.
- [elevator chimes]

[Seung-hyeok] "Maid A-ri."

Do you know what that is?

[Min-hye scoffs]

What's this?

It's your own hate account.

MAID.ARI
33 POSTS, 342 FOLLOWERS

I mean, wow. To get yourself
a hate account right after debuting?

Very impressive.

Seo A-ri.

It's true.

Those people are lackeys.

These people believe in a delusional
faux-friendship with e-celebs.

Just what did you think would happen
when you called them out like that?

Calling an idiot an idiot
is offensive, right?

So which lackey
would enjoy being called one?

This is a mess.

Well, now the real fun begins.

You think Chae-hee's posse was bad?

Just wait. Their followers are going
to kick up a real sh*t storm.

Do you have a minute to chat?

[chimes]

OF COURSE. THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY BAD.

I'VE ALSO BEEN WATCHING.

[man] Okay, honey. I'll also chip in.

All right, okay.

Love you, baby.

[phone ringing]

I'm sorry, sir. Chae-hee asked me
to comment on some social media posts.

Ugh, Jesus Christ. Seriously?

So what is it this time?

I DON'T LIKE LIKES, EVERYONE.

[sighs]

Thank you.

[inhales]

Why would you be interested
in something like this, ma'am?

Is it because you're worried
about your sister-in-law?

Oh no, it's about someone else.

I'm currently on my eighth account
defending her.

- [gasps]
- [grunts]

Ma'am, you really have a knack for this.

I get confused when I'm managing
any more than three accounts.

Ugh, why is everyone bitching about her?

It's not like A-ri said anything wrong.

[lock beeps]

Hey!

Just where have you been?

You didn't even pick up your phone!

It's an emergency.

Your follower numbers have dropped,
and someone's made a hate account.

So you two were defending me online? Why?

It's not all people talking
behind your back.

There's the occasional comments
supporting you...

Don't bother. It's not worth it.
Stop wasting your energy.

So what? You're just dropping out now?

[door shuts]

Are you just going
to let things end like this?

[pensive music playing]

[A-ri] That thing
you mentioned yesterday,

do you think it's really possible?

Honey, are they picking up?

Honey, honey, are they picking up? Huh?

Ah, just shut up!

- [Myeong-h* exhales]
- [Min-hye sighs]

Now, now, now, now,
take a seat and calm down.

Take a seat and call them, huh?

[Min-hye breathing heavily]

[Min-hye exhales]

Are all these b*tches ignoring
your calls now?

[breathing heavily]

I think Chae-hee's posse's trying
to dump me this time.

Oh sh*t. This is A-ri's fault!

Hold on a second.
Let me call Mr. Jin and ask.

Ask him what?

Why his sister's not picking up.
He should know.

Why don't you just stop talking for once?

Why are you so f*cking stupid, seriously?

Come on, I was just trying to help out.

Ugh!

So now, did you do what I asked?

Of course I did. I had my orders.

I uploaded ten comments.

Mmm, good job, babe.

But really,

it didn't look like you needed to step in.

That woman's account
is filled with hate posts right now.

[scoffs] Fine,
but I still need to personally crush her.

She thinks she can pick a fight with me?

[scoffs]

[phone buzzing]

Mm-hmm, what?

Not much. I'm with Jae-hun.

What?

Go to Seo A-ri's feed.

Our accounts are close
to blowing up right now.

[Yu-rang] Min-hye!

Min-hye, Min-hye, Min-hye, look at this!

There's something off.

Uh, you know how I'm a member
of other online communities like Missy?

They have, like, a million members.

Ugh, so what? Get to the point.

Look at this.

They're talking about the Gabin Society
and A-ri, and something's off.

You should also take a look.

[music halts abruptly]

[maid] Welcome back.

[exhales] Mother.

It's good to see you.

Yes.

How is Chae-hee?

I came over because I was worried,
but she won't come out of the bathroom.

She used to follow you around
when she was little,

so she's more open to your opinions.

Can you go in and check on her?

Sure, I can.

[Si-hyeon knocks] I'm coming in.

[sighs]

Just leave it, we'll clean it up.

Are you crazy?

Why would you clean that up?

Please leave us.

Ma'am.

Why would I?

You should clean it, it's all your mess.

Si-Hyeon.

Chae-hee, when are you going
to act like a grown-up?

Si-hyeon, why do you only ever pick on me?

Seo A-ri get's a K on her follower count,

and I have to put my account on hold
thanks to that b*tch.

Because of this bullshit,
Seo A-ri got to 51K.

Does that make sense?

- You expect me to be okay with this?
- How is all that A-ri's fault?

[sighs]

Don't you think A-ri has every right
to say what she thinks on her account as...

[screams] What the f*ck?

Even Jun-kyoung started following her.

He won't even follow me.

Why that b*tch?

Seo A-ri is the only person
Jun-kyuong's following on social media.

Si-hyeon,

do you think he's doing it again,
this time to her?

What if that's why he's
so focused on Seo A-ri?

[sighs]

[Kim] He's waiting for you.

I didn't know your taste in wine yet,
so I picked one that I'm familiar with.

I can tell that it was expensive wine.

Same thing goes for this place.

It's quite elegant
for discussing a settlement.

So you think I'm showing off?

[chuckles]

It's nothing like that,
so don't take it the wrong way.

I'm just used to these kinds
of situations, that's all.

And same goes for back then.

I'm withdrawing the complaint.

It seems I've made a mistake.

What's this?
A quick admission and an apology?

Oh no.

It just means
I won't fight a losing battle.

I had no idea
you were such a huge deal. [inhales]

I know I'll lose if I pick a fight
with someone like you,

so I'm running away.

Swallowing my pride. Like a coward.

[chuckles]

I hope you don't mind,

but I have to go now that you've gotten
the answer you've wanted.

So,

why did you start this fight
in the first place?

Was it because
you thought you had a chance?

Ah.

I meant social media.

I even gave you a like on your feed.
Didn't you know?

I started following you.

I couldn't help but wonder

what kind of person you really are,

what you did today,
and what you'll be doing tomorrow.

You share those things
with your followers.

Why are you playing these games with me?

You mean to ask
why I'm being so obsessive, right?

[chuckles] Sure.

We'll use your words, not mine,
so let's go with that.

Why are you so obsessed with this?

There's no reason for someone like you
to care this much.

There is, though.

"Princess maker."

- What?
- Oh yeah.

You probably don't know
about my reputation.

"Princess maker."

That's my nickname.

It wasn't intentional.

They call me that because I occasionally
date people below my station, you know?

[exhales]

Station? Seriously?

Speaking of which,

what do you say?

I'm quite interested in you, Seo A-ri.

Why don't we meet up one, two,
maybe even a few more times

if you're into it?

And maybe you'd also develop
an interest in me.

[camera shutter clicking]

[upbeat music playing]

Smile just a little more, please.

[camera shutter clicking]

All right, that's good.

Beautiful.

[woman 1] She's a natural.

A-ri always looks great
in just about any outfit.

[camera shutter clicking]

[Seung-hyeok] These are the e-celebs
that A. Picks is managing as of right now.

Their followers range

from a hundred thousand
to a million on the high end.

They advertise products through
their feeds, livestreams, and YouTube

and earn a million
to over ten million in advertising

depending on their rank.

Contemporary marketing trends
prefer influencers

over traditional celebrities now.

The effects are instant, after all.

That's not the whole picture, though.

Aren't they given a rank
based on their public image?

[Seung-hyeok] Yes.

"How classy does the influencer seem
in the public eye?"

"What's their target demographic?"

All these things decide an e-celeb's rank.

Depending on rank,
some attendees will be paid

while others won't at today's launch.

I'd like to know
which ones belong to your company.

Yes, for the paid attendees,
there is makeup artist Risabae.

Nine hundred sixty-one thousand followers
and...

89K INFLUENCER SEO A-RI

Seo A-ri, with 89,000.

Her numbers may be low,
but she's provocative and is expanding.

LAUNCH PARTY FOR "SWISS PERFECTION"
THE HUE COSMETICS' NEW BRAND

[inhales deeply]

- [door opens]
- [sighs]

[Tae-jeon] Oh, you're home.

I was about to head out.
There's an event today.

Oh, you're going to that, are you?
Jun-kyoung's big launch event thing.

Say hi for me.

I'll do that.

Oh.

Also, tell him to watch his step.

Seo A-ri.

Was that her name?

That new woman Jun-kyoung's been with.

[exhales]

How do you know about that gossip?

The rumor's is all over the place.

I heard he's going to make
a social media account for that woman.

[inhales] Uh, I heard he was sued recently
for sexual harassment.

And that woman was also Seo A-ri.

[inhales] Just tell him
to get a grip, and, uh,

find himself a proper woman,
why don't you?

We don't know how long he'll last,

but he has nothing to gain
from strange rumors.

You're an old friend of his,
so I suppose he'll listen to you, right?

[chuckles softly]

[exhales]

[party music playing]

Hello, it's your girl Ssinnim.

I'm here
at the Swiss Perfection event today,

and it's an absolute blast.

I haven't been to parties in a while.

They have perfumes...

[sighs]

[Yu-rang] Min-Hye!

Min-Hye, aren't you gonna come in?
The party's almost over.

Ugh, just stay here.
I can't go in until I see for myself.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[Yu-rang exhales]

[Min-hye] Hey, Seo A-ri.

[scoffs] What's up with that car?

Hue Cosmetics send it?

Is he paying for you or something?

Is that why?

If you're asking whether
I'm receiving payment for attending,

it's true. So what?

Hey, that doesn't make sense.

How come you're getting paid?
I'm not even getting paid.

- You're a nobody.
- Why are you asking me that?

- Go ask the person who...
- Han Jun-kyoung.

Is it true?

Those rumors that you're seeing him.

Those are real?

Answer me.

Did you come on to him?

Is that why
you're getting special treatment?

Min-hye,

it's my turn to ask you something.

Why would I even answer that?

[scoffs]

Shouldn't these conversations
be reserved for close friends?

I thought we were done
with the whole BFF act.

[exhales angrily] You...

Really...

- Min-Hye...
- Let go.

Huh? Uh, Min-hye!

Uh, that's not the way.
The entrance is over here, Min-Hye!

[Ji-na] What? Seo A-ri?

It's all everyone's talking about.

Han Jun-kyoung made an account
and only followed Seo A-ri.

I heard she was being paid
to attend this event.

- [Ji-na scoffs]
- When she's under 100K.

Are you kidding me? Is that true?

Is it, Chae-hee?

You have to know something.
You're close to Han Jun-kyoung.

Shut up. That's all bullshit.

- I know. Jun-kyoung used to date...
- [woman] Oh my, Chae-hee.

- [gasps]
- There you are, sweetie.

Wow, Yeon-woo! It's been forever.

I know. It's so nice to see you.
You've just gotten prettier and younger.

- [Yeon-woo chuckles]
- You should stay in touch more often.

I only get to see you on TV now.
I thought we were closer.

You all know Yeon-woo, right?
Yeon-woo, say hi to my friends.

[Ji-na] Hello, nice to meet you.

I'm a huge fan.

[Yeon-woo] Huh?

Is that really Seo A-ri?

It is.

- Just hold on, be right back.
- Yeon-woo!

[Yeon-woo] Ms. Seo A-ri?

You know me? Song Yeon-woo.

I've seen you on TV.

Oh my. I've been dying to meet you.
To think I'd run into you like this here...

To meet me?

So nice to meet you.

Seeing you in real life,
your face is really petite.

[A-ri chuckles]

Oh, I've been meaning to ask.
You have the prettiest feed ever.

Do you manage it alone,
or do you have someone do it for you?

[A-ri] I normally do it myself,
but my friend...

[Si-hyeon inhales]

[sighs]

Song Yeon-woo, the actress.

She's up to renew her contract
with your company soon.

I think that's why she's doing that.

Because of all the rumors
that you're seeing A-ri.

Seo A-ri. [chuckles]

She's a good person.

Why don't you put an end to it
if it's a fling?

You too.

You like A-ri too, right?

We have something in common.

She's intriguing, that woman.

She's entertaining.

[Si-hyeon] Han Jun-kyoung.

Don't play with kind people
based on your whims like this.

Whenever you play these little games,

someone gets hurt.

A whim? Little games? Really?

That doesn't apply to you.
You turned out fine, Yoon Si-hyeon,

in spite of my little games.

Oh, scratch that.

I think I was probably the one
who was toyed with.

Since I was the one

who got hurt.

- [Yeon-woo] One, two...
- [camera shutter clicks]

[Yeon-woo chuckles]

Let's see now.

- [gasps] We both look nice in this one!
- Okay.

I'll upload it to my feed.

You'll do the same, right, A-ri?

Uh, I'll do that. [chuckles]

[gasps]

100K...

101K FOLLOWERS

[inhales] So...

the rumors that you're going out
with Mr. Han, are they true?

Excuse me?

Let's get dinner with Mr. Han sometime.

I'd like to get to know you as well,
if that's all right.

- Actually, the thing is...
- Hey, Song Yeon-woo!

[gasps]

- [crowd gasps]
- [indistinct chatter]

[Yeon-woo exhales]

Jin Chae-hee, what the f*ck?
Are you insane?

- [woman] Isn't that Jin Chae-hee?
- You're the one who's insane.

I knew you when you were just a trainee
at a third-rate talent agency.

When did you become such a star?

You think you can snub me?

Seo A-ri?

Oh, is it because of Jun-kyoung?

You think the rumors about them are true.

You think this b*tch is a somebody.

Sucking up to her to extend your contract.

f*ck that sh*t!

I'm the one cutting ties with you, b*tch.

You two will get along great,
seeing how you two started as nobodies.

[Yeon-woo] Hey, how dare you?

I'm Song Yeon-woo.
You think I'm gonna let this slide?

Two can play that game, yeah?

You're the one
that doesn't seem to know who I am.

Do you have any idea
who you're messing with?

[A-ri] And who are you? [scoffs]

Do you not know? Is that why you keep
asking everyone if they know who you are?

What are you talking about?

Hey, that's not my point. My family...

Tell me who you are,
not who your family is.

Just you, Jin Chae-hee.

Why should we care?

[scoffs] Hey.

You think you're hot sh*t?

Because you've got Jun-kyoung behind you?

You crazy b*tch,
she's just talking to you because...

Chae-hee, stop.

- Stop this. You're causing a scene.
- Let me go! That b*tch started with me!

People are watching you.

[Si-hyeon breathes shakily]

You're okay with this?

[Chae-hee exhales]

[dramatic music playing]

[camera shutters clicking]

[Chae-hee breathing shakily]

- [scoffs]
- [exhales]

I'm sorry. Allow me to apologize.

[Yeon-woo exhales] Thank you, Ms. Yoon.

It's just that
I'm really shook up right now.

What's up with her? [breathes shakily]

Let's go outside.

There should be
a change of clothes in my car.

Okay. [breathing shakily]

[pensive music playing]

Leaving so soon?

Just a second.

Thank you so much.

For your help.

I haven't had a chance
to return the favor.

Would you be all right
if I also followed you?

Huh?

I meant on social media.

You see, I've also made an account.

I'd appreciate it,

if you took my request.

That would allow us
to connect as good friends, wouldn't it?

[music fades]

[A-ri] "Connection."

What do you think it really means
to connect?

A person sharing
their thoughts and feelings

to understand another person?

Something like that?

[Si-hyeon] It's true.

I did like A-ri.

I got close to her,

and I wanted to help her.

Until she

decided to do what she did.

[A-ri] Nope, wrong answer.

We can never truly understand
other people.

Misunderstandings, they just...

pile up until they fall.

Seo A-ri?

You seriously believe her?

How can you all believe
what Seo A-ri is saying?

You know all the things
that Seo A-ri has done.

Why'd she drop off
as if she's running away?

ARE YOU REALLY SEO A-RI?

YOU CAN'T BE!

That's not possible.

We all know Seo A-ri is dead.

A b*tch like her doesn't deserve to live.

Seo A-ri

is a f*cking m*rder*r!

She k*lled a man! [breathing shakily]

Someone who did
everything in his power for her.

[dramatic music playing]

Then I guess the three of us
have become friends now?

[A-ri] Oh, that's right.

I did do that.

I'm responsible...

for someone's death.
