Über diesen Titel
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a standalone new adult romance set in the competitive world of K-pop.
It’s not all K-dramas and happily ever afters.
Intern with Korea’s number one record label? Yes, please.
Find out there’s a huge scandal I need to help “manage” … not so much.
Add in the fact that I don’t recognize the “superstars” of the label and think they’re interns …
And my dream job quickly becomes more of a nightmare.
But I’m in Seoul, the one place that is beginning to feel more and more like home …
Except it isn’t home, and the drama surrounding the biggest K-pop group in the world, SWT, is consuming my every moment.
Spoiler alert. They hate me.
Everything I do is wrong: wrong clothes, wrong honorifics, wrong manners.
Till the leader of SWT takes pity on me.
But pity is dangerous when it comes from someone as beautiful as him.
Every SWT member is gorgeous, perfect, and cultivated to be an idol … lethal to a girl’s heart.
And sanity.
But fame plus a perfect face and voice don’t equal an easy life. As their comeback nears, the stakes rise higher.
Suicide watch …
Angry fans …
Threats …
All I want to do is survive.
But the price for survival might mean losing my heart.
And like a character in a K-drama, I’m not sure if there will be an actual happily ever after …
Or simply a lesson learned.
Well, I think every fan has imagined something like that at some point. Now, with this book, you can take a look behind the scenes.
Kpop is currently booming in Europe and the US, and I've caught the bug too. That's what led me to stumble across this audiobook.
It took me a few days to finish listening to it, but not because it didn't captivate me, but because I knew it would change my image of Kpop idols. I had to take time to think about it.
The immense pressure the idols are under and the rules they have to live by are portrayed really well in this book. It's not a fluffy feel-good book, but shows that the lives of people in the public eye can be incredibly stressful and difficult. They perform for their fans and always smile cheerfully because that's what's expected of them. Full of energy, with perfect looks and behavior. They are assigned different roles in the band and must maintain their image at all times. But what lies behind the mask?
What the band achieves despite all this, and with such a busy schedule, is incredibly admirable.
The book gave me a great insight into what it might be like and what idols actually achieve. It shows that behind the image that is presented to the outside world, there are people who can surprise you. The book has definitely changed the way I look at actors or pop stars. It has deepened my respect for K-pop idols and strengthened my appreciation for this genre of music.
I laughed and cried and was thoroughly entertained. Drama, love, and entertainment—but presented in a way that feels real.
Thanks to the author and the narrators for this amazing experience.
I can only recommend it to every fan & non-fan of Kpop bands!
A truly excellent book in every respect!
