JTBC's "IDOL: The Coup" unveiled its exclusive behind-the-scenes poster filming video.
"IDOL: The Coup" follows the stories of a six-year-old idol group who failed to reach their dreams, and are now waiting for a miracle before they finally let go of their unfulfilled dreams.
The fictional girl group consists of the leader, Je Na (EXID Hani), Hyun Ji (LABOUM Solbin), L (Cosmic Girls Exy), Stella (Han So Eun), and Chae Ah (Redsquare Green).
The newly released video begins with the members posing for their individual photoshoots. Later, Hani introduces herself as Je Na and describes her character as "someone who has a strong sense of responsibility."
She added, "She has a lot of love to give, and she strongly hopes for the genuine happiness of her Cotton Candy members."
Next, Solbin uses syllable poems to describe her character, Hyun Ji. She says, "There is no tomorrow. She drowns herself in alcohol and oftentimes gets in trouble. But she expresses her feelings really well, especially those close to her."
El is described by Exy as "a person with an intense determination who will never accept defeat despite numerous failures."

On the other hand, Han So Eun, who is playing Stella, said, "Stella is extremely soft and sensitive. Although she is the oldest member, she is indecisive. Emotionally, she's the weakest member, she doesn't know what she wants and what she wants to do, so she relies on Je Na a lot."
Finally, Green said, "Chae Ah is the youngest yet she is good at singing and dancing. However, she is always in the shadow of her pretty members."
After which, the girls start smiling for the camera together for their group photoshoot, filling the air with wide smiles and laughs.
Once they finish, the group takes photos of each other, like regular friends on the weekend.
