Gong Yoo (Squid Game) plays Dong-gu, Min-ja's childhood friend. Having faced all kinds of situations together growing up, they later enter the music industry side by side. Even though he's reckless and unpredictable, Dong-gu has a soft spot for Min-ja and listens to anything she says.
Kim Seol-hyun (Light Shop) plays Min-hui, who has held a love-hate relationship with Min-ja since childhood. Once innocent and naive, following everything Min-ja says, Min-hui also reveals a rebellious and sharp side.
