Summary: Back in San Francisco, Alice took singing lessons. But since their diplomat mom moved them to Seoul, she pours herself into karaoke sessions, singing Lady Gaga to an audience of one: her loyal sister. Then a scout for Top10 Entertainment, one of the big K-pop factories, hears her and eventually offers her a spot at their Star Academy. Can Alice navigate the culture clashes, egos, and extreme training practices of K-pop to lead her group onstage before a stadium of 50,000 chanting fans? Not if a certain influential blogger and the anti-fans get their way.
