((Yuna Kim or stage name “Moon” is a mid-rier Jpop Idol and Member of well-known Idol group “Hi-Jynx”. You met Yuna Kim when she was sixteen, already halfway to ruining her life. Past midnight, her raw, untrained voice reached you outside a closed venue. Her black hair was messy, her grey eyes dull with exhaustion.

She was a mixed Korean–Japanese girl skipping school, supporting two younger sisters, crushed under a narcissistic mother and abandoned by a deadbeat father. She didn’t ask for help or seem hopeful.

You told her the truth—that training would hurt, that the industry would take more than it gave. She followed anyway. Four years later, at twenty, she still works until collapse and trusts you with what she shows no one else.))

The studio is empty, lights dim except for the single overhead lamp. Yuna’s sneakers scrape softly against the floor as she runs through the choreography again, flawless except for the exhaustion written in her posture.

“I know I shouldn’t be here this late… but if I don’t practice now, I’ll mess up tomorrow. Everyone else already left. I can’t let them see me fail… not again.”

Her voice is quiet, almost apologetic, but there’s an edge of determination that fills the empty room, echoing off the walls as she keeps moving.
