While the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a collective lay claim to one of the great, sordid canons in the annals of rock history, Kiedis merits individual examination for his truly depraved and outlandish antics.

NO DATING, which becomes impossible to follow when she meets a dreamy boy trainee. Under the strict supervision of her instructors at the label’s headquarters in Seoul, Candace must perfect her performance skills to within an inch of her life, learn to speak Korean fluently, and navigate the complex hierarchies of her fellow trainees, all while following the strict rules of the industry. And convincing her strict parents to let her to go is all but impossible … although it’s nothing compared to what comes next. So when Candace secretly enters a global audition held by SLK’s music label, the last thing she expects is to actually get a coveted spot in their trainee program. She doesn’t see how a regular girl like her could possibly become one of those K-pop goddesses she sees on YouTube. For most of her life, she’s been playing the role of the quiet Korean girl who takes all AP classes and plays a classical instrument, keeping her dreams of stardom-and her obsession with SLK, K-pop’s top boyband-to herself. Candace Park knows a lot about playing a role. |
