True Beauty – Season 1 Episode 4 1

As she steps into the art department classroom, the vibrant scene of Sua rallying the troops for the competition greets her. Sua's plea for everyone to rally behind Jugyeong echoed, driven by the conviction that Jugyeong's triumph could transform the art department's public perception. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to Jugyeong in the restroom, torn between her intentions to confide in Chaerin and Sua about her withdrawal plans.

In solitude, Jugyeong's contemplation deepened. She reasoned that Sujin, with her commanding presence, was poised to emerge victorious, thereby offering her a graceful exit from the competition. Transitioning scenes, we find Suho and Sujin in conversation; Sujin requests Suho's assistance in filming her dance video for the competition, but Suho politely declines, suggesting she seek help elsewhere.

Sujin, venturing into the restroom, stumbles upon Jugyeong, who confides her apprehension about letting the art department down. Sujin, seemingly unaware of the underlying tensions, mentions her closeness with Suho and offers to broker his assistance for her dance video. With a well-meaning wish of good luck, Sujin exits, leaving Jugyeong to ponder further.

Returning home, Jugyeong immerses herself in watching dance videos submitted by fellow goddess competition contestants. Chaerin and Sua send her a "sexy dance" routine, intended as her competition piece. As Jugyeong attempts the dance, Juyong, her brother, inadvertently walks in. Embarrassed and self-conscious, he quickly exits, leaving Jugyeong to continue her practice alone.

Later, at school, Jugyeong encounters Suho, who invites her to meet him at Han River after classes for acting practice. Although Jugyeong expresses her desire to focus on her dance practice, Suho persists, urging her to honor their post-school rendezvous.

Then, Seojun arrives on the scene and inquiries Jugyeong about the timeline for her artwork assignment featuring him. He insists that she must sketch him that afternoon, as his work schedule is tight. Jugyeong finds herself annoyed by the boys' demands. Subsequently, she sends Suho a message, informing him that their Han River rendezvous is off due to her pressing assignment.

Jugyeong heads to the music department to commence her drawing of Seojun. During their conversation, the topic shifts to Suho, prompting Jugyeong to argue why Sujin would be a more suitable girlfriend for Suho than herself. Seojun chuckles when Jugyeong contends that she might falter in the competition's dance challenge. Once Jugyeong completes Seojun's portrait, he offers her a ride back home. There, he cautions her to steer clear of Sujin and Suho.

Later, at school, Jugyeong accidentally bumps into Suho, who mentions his plans to visit the Han River. Jugyeong nods in understanding as the scene transitions to the two at the Han River. She expresses her desire to assist Suho in practicing his acting, but he reveals that he has already submitted his acting video. Moreover, Suho points out that he hadn't invited Jugyeong to join him at the Han River.

Suho inquisitively asks about Jugyeong's progress on the dance mission. She responds by demonstrating the "sexy dance" recommended by Sua, arguing that she can perfect it with a few more practice sessions. Soon after, Sujin reaches out to Jugyeong, inviting her on a blind date with someone named Hyunwoo Jeong.

The following day, Jugyeong shares the news about Hyunwoo with Sua and Chaerin, who encourage her to embark on the blind date. At their designated meeting spot, Jugyeong and Hyunwoo embark on a stroll together. Hyunwoo showers Jugyeong with compliments and extends a girlfriend proposition, which she joyfully accepts.

Later, Jugyeong reflects on the whirlwind of events that have transpired. Meanwhile, Suho meets Sua at a cafe, where Sua updates Suho on Jugyeong's recent endeavors and her newfound romance. Jugyeong joins them, and Suho hesitates to engage in conversation with her. Afterward, Jugyeong reconnects with Hyunwoo, who insists on them visiting a hotel later in the evening.

At the hotel, Jugyeong accompanies Hyunwoo, and Seojun catches sight of them. Inside their room, Hyunwoo requests Jugyeong to put on a swimsuit before excusing himself. Left alone and befuddled, Jugyeong hears Hyunwoo making a phone call, confirming that everything is proceeding as planned. Seojun confronts Hyunwoo and reveals that he works part-time at the hotel, promptly punching him.

The episode concludes with Seojun threatening Hyunwoo with a police call.
