Well…
[reporter] An idol group trending recently on social media,
it's Purple Tea.
The K-pop sensation has, once again, topped the music charts
with their title track "BBBelieve It" from their new album, OBSESH.
Their breakout success is all down to the undying love
and endless support from their fandom, Cuties.

I see you've worked in a mini-mart before.
[Muti] Uh, yes, sir. But I got fired.
What for? Were you lazy?
I just don't get it.
Where's your dedication?
Now, I feel
that work is about being responsible all the time.
I agree, sir. You're right.
Work should always be done responsibly by someone.
A bit like a commitment.
I was laid off from my previous job because they went bankrupt.
They couldn't compete with new stores like this K-Nyeong here.
But, sir, I can see why.
Your store is so much better kept,
modern,
well-stocked, and innovative.
It's superb.
[Stanley clears throat]
Well, this is K-Nyeong.
Ever corner, it's Korean.
Can you speak Korean?
[in Korean] Feels like I'm confined somewhere.
My dreams are fading away.
We will make history.
You won't escape.

[Muti] Hi, Mom!
Mut, hi.
Have some food.
Is Sigit not eating, Mom?
He said he's eating out.
Can I borrow the bike?
You're always going out. Have you got the ceiling repaired?
-It's the rainy season. -I'll do it later.
It can't wait till later. It always leaks.
It's an old building.
I think we should sell it.
You were saying the same to uncle.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, sis.
I though we'd agreed about the house, Ma.
It's a reminder of my father.
Yes, I know.
Your uncle dropped over to check how we were.
It was nothing.
You can relax.
Your daughter's got a new job.
Hmm? Got one already? Where?
In some Korean store.
Aren't you tired, Mut?
Can't you rest first?
There's no time.
I'm the breadwinner, aren't I?

[Jamila] Where did he say he was last time?
[Syaiful] He said he's on his way.
[Jamila] Call him again, honey.
[Syaiful] Okay.
-What? -Mila.
Tell me where you met him.
I've said already.
He's the older brother of the brother-in-law of a relative
of Syaiful's colleague.
He's late from the start.
So what if he's late? He might not even show up.
[Syaiful] He said they're canceling.
He's not interested.
What did I say? Don't give him her photo. This is on you.
-He found it on her socials. -Ugh.
I knew it. I should've gone to work.
Another shift I had to give away.
Nar, why won't you listen to me?
Huh?
Your account should be private, or this will happen again.
At least think about what you're posting.
Don't show your weaknesses.
You watch those nobody idols--
There's no need to talk about that.
Nar, listen carefully to your sister.
You see, all of this is so we can give you a future.
[Bunda] You can't just keep working and losing yourself in this idols madness.
If you had a husband,
you'd be able to focus on your family and raising kids.
Stop it.
If he's not here today, I cannot accept him.
Not as a son-in-law. Forget about those social media photos.
My Jenar is so cute.
[Bunda] I'd like to fix this cute hair of hers.
-Hey. -[Bunda] Oh!
I think it looks cute.

-[scanner beeps] -Hold on. Is there milk in that?
-Uh… -Um, I won't take it. Sorry.
Can I cancel that? I'll just take this.
MUTIARA, STORE CLERK
Uh… Please wait a minute. I'll check--
-Thank-- -[chuckles] Sorry, miss.
It's already been scanned. You'll have to pay.
The policy is, you break it, you buy it.
-So… -[customer] Oh, okay.
I'll leave it. The thing is, milk gives me the runs.
[chuckles] Nice. Thanks.
[both] Thank you so much.
It can be cancelled, right?
It can, in theory.
But do you wanna bother the cheapskate boss
to cancel the transaction?
In this line of work, you need to be a thinker.
Hard work won't cut it.
Check this out.
[pouring water]
Okay. All clear.
-Watch her. -[Jenar] Yes, boss.
I meant to say Muti should watch you.
Make sure you don't mess up.
-[chuckles] -[laughing] Sure. Of course, boss.
["BBBelieve It" plays on speakers]
Ah. This is on his tab too, yeah?
-[beeps] -[Muti] Isn't he going to notice?
Uh, our boss is not only tight, he's senile as well. [chuckles]
You can relax. Night shift is so great.
You see, the boss leaves early, then we're completely free.

[gasps] You dark horse. You're great, huh.
-[chuckles shyly] -It's crazy.
Are you secretly a dancer, Mut?
I'm so surprised!
[song continues playing]
Um, what's your Cutie-Verse username? I'll tag you.
Cutie-Verse what?
[gasps]
Mutiara Sentosa,
are you saying you don't know what the Cutie-Verse is about?
It's a library and house of worship
for anyone who identifies as a Cutie.
So it's got news and information about Purple Tea, is that right?
Yeah.
And we pay for it?
It's cool.
It's only about 500,000 a year,
so that would make it 40,000 a month.
Which is no big deal if you're a Cutie.
But that's not the issue.
My mother's just a housewife.
My brother still has high school.
And dad's passed away.
So I'm the one who takes care of my family.
[Jenar] I'm sorry, Mut. I can't imagine not having a dad.
It was hard in the beginning.
Dad's death was so sudden.
But lately, things are easy.
Now I have Purple Tea to help me.
They're always by my side.

My folks tell me,
"because you're fat, no one will want you."
But look at Boki.
She's Indo,
head of a K-pop group.
And on top of that, she loves her body.
How good is that?
If Boki doesn't need a guy,
neither do I.

You were supposed to fix this, Git!
-[Sigit] Yeah. What about you? -[Muti] Ugh.
-[Muti] Let me. -I'm fixing it!
-[Endah] Be careful, Git. -[Muti] Hey-- Sigit!
[Sigit] Move, Mom.
Still got that? Get rid of it.
It was a gift from Dad!
Enough about him.
It's all right, Mut. I'll dry it, okay? Just relax.

You're gonna wanna hear this now. Y'all ready?

Our Seoul concert's in three months, so we need you to be there.
Whoo!
As a Cutie-Verse member,
you have the chance to join our exclusive fan meeting before the concert.
If you enter the raffle,
then not only will you get a concert ticket for the night…
[all] But also a ticket to our very exclusive rendezvous for super fans!
[all] Whoo!
Are you ready to meet us face-to-face?
-Oh. -Oh.

-[automated voice] Thank you. -[Jenar] See you tomorrow.
-Bye. -See you.
Have you seen the Cutie-Verse?
-[gasps] You've signed up? -Yeah!

Mut! I'm so very, very proud of you.
Okay. Now, then, you need to sign in to the Cutie-Verse
and buy the album. [exclaims excitedly]
[Muti] Buy an album?
I thought we were joining the raffle.
Yeah. The raffle.
You know what a raffle is, Mut?
Yeah… a raffle.
A raffle is like the lottery. Okay?
What does it have to do with buying albums?
So you buy the album, see.
And the more albums you buy,
the bigger chance there is that you're gonna win the lottery.
Even signing up for Cutie-Verse is hard for me.
Now I'm buying albums?
And if I can only buy one album,
how can I even win this?
Mutiara Sentosa.
Don't you have any faith in destiny?
Listen.
Last night, you just signed up to Cutie-Verse,
then there was a notification.
Ah!
Concert for Purple Tea.
