In the super-competitive world of K-pop idol trainees, perfection isn’t enough. You’ve got to have heart!
Tenka Momose was a quiet and withdrawn child, but before long she realized that the most effective way to protect herself wasn’t hiding from other kids—it was being the best at everything! After years of armoring herself with excellence, Tenka lives safely atop her cool-girl pedestal, admired and idolized by everyone. But her flawless composure is suddenly shaken by a very average schoolmate’s impressively big dreams. At first Tenka is scornful of Erian Sato’s ambition to become a K-pop idol, but the other girl’s passion is so irresistible that Tenka soon finds herself with idol dreams of her own!
Tenka, Jiwoo, and their new competitor and colleague Minchae have been accepted as trainees for LJH’s special project. But getting that coveted spot at an agency is only the beginning—now Tenka and her friendly rivals need to earn the right to stay in the program. Can Tenka’s hard-won confidence survive the overwhelming skill of the senior trainees and the stress of choosing the perfect song for her first big evaluation?
