SweeTeez Theater S3: Debut Countdown
One call from an unknown number, and five high-school girls are on the road to idol life: scouted, trained, debuted, and chasing No. 1 on a music show. The pre-debut story of SweeTeez, the group behind this channel's MVs.
Scouted by an agency that saw their joint-stage video, the five start a double life between school and the practice room. Through a dorm move, a debut song, choreography hell and an MV shoot, they finally debut and set their sights on No. 1. Then rival group DARK DIVA turns up in the waiting room next door, and the competition builds toward a showdown.
SweeTeez: YENA (deadpan, the only sensible one), SOPHIE (sly prankster), YUZUKI (hyper youngest), EILEEN (easygoing airhead), RIRI (volume permanently on max) / DARK DIVA: Velissima (leader), Nami, Saya, Sakura
