Becoming a K-Pop Idol

Prologue

Kim Min-Jae

Kim Min-jae was currently climbing a small mountain close to his hometown, in the middle of the night, with no safety measures.

He didn't care if he died now.

Everything he worked for, for the majority of his life had gone to waste.

That one chance he had to fulfill his dream, had disappeared.

He didn't want to lead a normal life, he often pondered about his future, so he could figure out what he wanted to do most. And live his life to the fullest.

He wanted to become a K-pop idol.

It was the most stupid idea he had. But that impossible goal, gave his life purpose.

Why was it impossible?

He wasn't handsome at all, nor was he ugly. He was extremely average in both looks and talent. He couldn't dance at all, his acting couldn't even be compared to dog shit, and his singing sounded like someone scratching a chalkboard like his life depended on it.

But he tried. He kept going no matter what people thought about him. He didn't care how many times he failed or how many times he had to stand up, he would never give up.

He finally became a trainee for SG Entertainment after all his hard work. The agency wasn't one of the best agencies out there, but was still passable.

He didn't even last one year as a trainee, he got eliminated in the second evalution.

No matter how hard you work, innate talent couldn't be overcome. He failed due to his looks, his inability to quickly catch up on dancing routines and because his singing sounded at best, average.

His eyes had already started watering when he thought about it.

He stopped climbing just before he reached the top.

He looked up to the night sky, filled with bright stars.

"Give me a chance to fulfill all my dreams"

And...

He let go.
