The video was made as part of a promotion for an upcoming exhibition in Seoul to help people deal with failures.

Beginning interview part

Q: originally what was your dream?
NP: to be a singer, I'd watch music shows and dance beside my parents

Hidden cam part

[neon punch going to office after schedules finish]

CEO: not sure how to say this, I don't think neon punch's future looks too good. I think neon punch needs to disband. I'll let you guys take a moment and come back to talk to you one on one.
[returns]

CEO: i didn't want things to turn out this way..

Bekah: i'm really sad~

CEO: as the leader, what do you think dayeon?

DY: i want to continue.. we all worked so hard..

Ian: we have a strong team right now so I want to continue

May: we want to go at it again..

BA: if I have to wait, then i'll wait.. i want to wait

CEO: if you have to go back to being a trainee?

BA: yeah, since that is whats left, I'll keep on training

CEO: i have one message I want to leave for you
[reading letter: neon punch you're doing good. don't get discouraged and don't give up. a challenge to cross failures - fail expo (name of the event this is promoting for)]

After reveal part

NP: We were really surprised, my heart dropped like a feel just before you die, i just kept thinking i dont know what i should do

CEO: This was for the Ministry of Interior and Safety for people that are experiencing failure and discouragement to see how people cope.

Q: what kind of significance was it to experience this failure?

Ian: at first I didn't have courage to do it again, but after some time and thinking about it, because I love this kind of work so much, i thought i could keep going.
even failing, I was thinking how can we overcome this. it was a precious feeling. with a heart that must try again, let's never give up. Whether its 7, 70 or 700 years, because we'll be together forever. I hope we can live happily like now leaning on each other a lot. Love you.

Wtf.

to help people deal with failures.

How that "joke" can help anyone? oO It doesn't even make sense...

What a cruel "prank." What was the point? Even all of this "I'll never give up...I can overcome this" lesson(?) at the end doesn't even make sense. Maybe, if one of the girls was going to quit and this made them ~realize~ that they should stick together then m a y b e I could get what they're going for.

But it's been less than six months and they're still working hard right now, so why even test them like this?
