This Korean Idol's Green Card Won't Put Up with This Anymore

[Original story! Not fanfiction! Chapter comments are open!

Duan Baihe wakes up to discover that she's become a member of a Korean girl group that's about to debut.

The good news: Her whole body, arms, legs, and beautiful face are all still her own. The company hasn't had a chance to send her to the operating table.

The bad news: She's the group's only foreign passport holder, and she's half Russian. The kind of person Korean audiences like least.

The company only added her at the last minute to cater to the Chinese market. After all, being one-quarter Chinese counts as Chinese, right? Look how sincere our company is!

Fine, then. She'll debut!

But before they even make their official debut, Duan Baihe discovers that one member is dating, another might be bullying her, one can only lip-sync, and another has only been a trainee for three months.

Duan Baihe: ...

At last, she realizes one thing:

If she keeps putting up with this, the group will probably go down with her.

So Duan Baihe decides:

Whoever made this mess can deal with it themselves.

[You know Duan Baihe from LIVVI? Her face is divine, but her temper's as bad as a beagle's.]

[I know her! Last time, she grabbed her teammate's mic and loudly demanded to know why they weren't letting her sing live lol]

[And the time before that, her teammate was slacking off next to her and hit her, so she rolled her eyes lol]

[And another time, that girl accidentally took her spot, so she shoved her right out of the way]

[She sounds awful. How has nobody launched a truck campaign to demand she leave the group?]

[Ummm, how do I put it? When someone has a face like that, I just can't bring myself to say anything else. And the others aren't completely blameless, either.]

[Duan Baihe is the only reason their group made it. I can't imagine what the rest would do if she left. Keep lip-syncing with their mics off? lol]

[And even though Duan Baihe has a bad temper, she's really good to her fans and works hard onstage.]

And so Duan Baihe somehow dragged the group onto the plane and all the way to the top of Gen X.

After that, she became the first to go solo, the first to win a grand prize, the first to complete a sweep of the four major magazines, and the first to land luxury-brand deals...

Duan Baihe's boss: You all keep asking why I'm so tolerant of a foreign passport holder! But who can say no to money?!

Notes:

1. The female lead is universally adored. Some characters will have one-sided romantic feelings for her, but she won't return them.

2. A feel-good power fantasy. The author will temporarily put their brain and logic aside. (

3. Inspired by the Chinese and Korean entertainment industries. No real-world groups or people are involved, and no characters are based on real people.

Theme: Either you rise up in silence or you perish in silence
