Trainees

Cha Hyeseong can only watch as the girl he loves slips further away, her life increasingly consumed by the dazzling world of stardom. Determined not to let their bond fade into a distant memory, he makes a drastic decision to bridge the growing distance between them. He enrolls in the very same elite academy she attends—a specialized institution dedicated to molding the next generation of entertainment idols—hoping that proximity will be enough to preserve their relationship. However, his plan to quietly stay close to his crush quickly unravels upon arrival. Rather than blending into the background, Cha Hyeseong is immediately thrust into the spotlight when the school assigns him to debut in a newly formed idol group specifically focused on acting. What was meant to be a simple effort to maintain a personal connection suddenly transforms into an overwhelming professional obligation. Thrust into an industry he never intended to join, he finds himself navigating unexpected complications and mounting pressures, discovering that chasing someone into the world of fame brings far more trouble than he ever bargained for.
