### Summary
Following her triumphant on-stage rebellion against Yuseong, Yeseul's reclaimed empowerment is immediately challenged by the manipulative Seongwoo. His ego shattered by her success and his public image being reduced to simply "Toseul's boyfriend," Seongwoo confronts her. In a stunning display of misogyny and audacity, he attempts to convince Yeseul to drop out of the competition, unable to process being outshone by a woman he sought to control. This blatant effort to sabotage her career for the sake of his own fragile pride backfires, as Yeseul stands her ground against his toxic demands. The confrontation is made more tense by the presence of Yeseul's new ally, Heewon Joo, whose uncharacteristic silence during the exchange leaves Yeseul to face Seongwoo's desperate power play alone.
