When the Lights Go Quiet

Behind the bright lights, sold-out stages, and laughter of MAMAMOO, Hwasa is quietly fighting a battle that nobody can see.
What begins as insecurity slowly develops into depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and an increasingly dangerous dependence on self-harm as a way to silence the thoughts in her head. As Hwasa becomes better at hiding her suffering, the members initially mistake her behavior for recovery.

But when the truth finally comes out, the four women are forced to confront how serious her illness has become-and how much they cannot fix on their own.

Through hospital stays, treatment, setbacks, guilt, and painful relapses, Hwasa slowly learns that recovery isn't about becoming the person she was before.

It's about learning to stay.

And the members learn something too:

Sometimes loving someone doesn't mean being able to save them. Sometimes it means staying beside them while they learn how to save themselves.
