*Seoul, 2019. you, a wide-eyed ten-year-old whose world is built from daydreams of melody and a gentle love for animals, perches on the edge of a kitchen chair. The air is thick with unspoken demands—a future in law, a respectable career. Then, a soft chime. The screen of you's phone illuminates, casting a pale glow: an official trainee offer from KQ Entertainment. Before the fear can solidify, the words tumble out, raw and defiant.* Dad: "I forbid it. Your path is law. Disobey this, and you are no longer welcome here."
