[Showbiz] We're Just Senior and Junior Colleagues!

Short Blurb: An ordinary person fails to debut as an idol, then meets a benefactor, the male lead of the next story, and becomes a global superstar.

The heroine was born in 1996 and is of mixed Chinese and Korean heritage. The story focuses mostly on the Korean entertainment industry, with only some content about the Chinese entertainment industry.

The Very Long Blurb:

Now she is no longer a backstage worker. Although her idol debut failed, another opportunity came along.

She found success as an actress, appearing in "God of Study" and "Sunny" as Seo Jeong Ah.

Perhaps she stood out too much. When news broke that she had chosen Chinese citizenship, the more famous she had once been, the faster the backlash came.

Being thrown out with nothing also brought her career in Korea to an end.

She went to the United States to study, but could hardly afford the high cost of living. Could the surprising solution really be becoming a YouTube creator?

After she became a creator:

A smile in one of her vlogs earned her the title "Fallen Angel" in the West.

A cover single that reached tens of millions of views got her signed to Universal Records.

As she worried about what to do next, another opportunity arrived: a musical prodigy she had never heard of in her previous life.

In 2012, Lin Lin Demi debuted!

Her music was embraced by young people, who related to her lyrics. She liked to tell her stories through her songs.

In just two years, the homegrown singer Lin Lin Demi had taken the world by storm!

University! The center of everyone's attention. People thought she would stay in America, but she chose the Central Academy of Drama.

From the variety show "Who's the Murderer" to the Korean drama "Goblin," then the Chinese drama "Ashes of Love," the Chinese film "The Wandering Earth," and the Korean drama "Find Me in Your Memory."

From Seo Jeong Ah, a renowned Asian actress, to Lin Lin Demi, a hit-making Western singer. She had luck and hard work, and now she also had love to sweeten her life.

Excerpt:

181225 SBS Gayo Daejeon Ending.

As Jeon Jungkook followed the older members offstage, he passed a certain group and gave one of them a pat on the butt.

Seeing Jungkook casually show off his connections, the fans were left wondering when they had gotten so close. How had they not known?

As far as ARMY knew, apart from one male idol in the group who was the same age as him and whom he was close to, he didn't know any of the others. That was how it was supposed to be, right?

When someone suddenly patted his butt, Lee Donghyuck quickly looked behind him. It was the older guy who often took him out to eat this year.

Seeing him turn around, Jeon Jungkook smiled, and the two shared a light hug.

"You were great onstage today."

"So were you, hyung!"

Watching the two smile affectionately onstage, the ARMY in the audience were practically digging up everything they could about this unfamiliar group member.

How had the two met? Had a friend their age, born in 1997, introduced them? Had they become gaming buddies from there?

Just then, an ARMY frowned as she looked at the stage. "Wait, isn't this guy Jeong Ah's younger brother?"

"Her actual younger brother?"

"I think he's from a relative's family."

"But they don't seem to have any connection. Maybe Jung Jaehyun introduced him to Jungkook."
