Becoming an Idol

Prologue

Third Persons POV:

Red had moved to Korea a year ago to study fine art, dance and music at Sunhwa Arts High School (SA) and she still had two more years left before she would finish. Even though she was only 16 (17 in Korean age), she looked mature for her age.
For as long as she could remember she had always loved doing art and dance in particular. She loved how the world passed by when she was dancing or working on a new piece of artwork.

Her parents had been nervous about her moving half way round the world to study since she was only 15 at that time, but they knew it was what she wanted and it would make her happy if she went. They decided to let her go since they trusted her and she promised her parents that she would stay safe and work hard to graduate.
Fortunately for her, she could already speak Korean as she had studied it for one of her GCSE's. She had always been interested in the Far East and wanted to learn more about it, so when the opportunity to learn it came up, she was excited to do it.

It had taken time for Red to adjust to the change of moving to Seoul and at first it had surprised then irritated her at how blatant some of the locals and her classmates were around her, since she was a foreigner and majority of them assumed she wouldn't understand them when talking about her. Most of the time it would be positive comments, but there was always a few negative ones, which would result in her replying back to the person and end with them scurrying off, embarrased that she had understood them.
Another downside was that she had to work twice as hard at SA, which wasn't a problem for her, but since she was a foreigner and the school doesn't usually get foreigners, most of the people there had low expectations for her, even some of the teachers.

When she had her first test for dance, everyone had been shocked at how good she was as they hadn't expected her to be so good, the same thing happened when she gave in her first art and music piece, everyone was surprised by the skills she had. Although she didn't like to brag, Red knew she was good at them and was confident in doing them.
When she had moved to Korea she had already found an apartment to rent out that wasn't too far from SA and she'd been lucky enough to get a job at a cake shop, thanks to her bestfriend and class mate Violet, who's family owned the shop. Even though her parents were paying for her tuition fees and giving her a monthly allowance, she still wanted to be independant and make some money for herself on the side.

She had settled into Korea quite well, and even though she'd been met with a few surprises, she was always able to meet them head on and get past them. So how will she deal with the possibility of becoming an idol?
