Karina Yoo has everything the world says she should want-fame, beauty, wealth, and the crown of being New York's most sought-after model. Yet beneath the lights and flawless magazine covers, she is suffocating in loneliness, her life reduced to a brand rather than a heart. On a business trip to Paris, fate introduces her to Winter Kim, a 21-year-old photographer with eyes that see past the gloss, past the perfection, and straight into the truth Karina hides. What begins as a contract-Winter hired as her personal photographer-ignites into something deeper, something dangerous: a love too powerful to stay in the shadows. From Parisian dawns at the Seine to rain-soaked nights in Milan, from the "almost kiss" at the Trevi Fountain to Karina's unforgettable public confession on stage, their story unfolds against the backdrop of fashion runways, flashing cameras, and a world divided by love and scandal. But beneath the chaos, there is intimacy: Quiet mornings over coffee, laughter spilling through their tiny apartment. Stolen dates in Seoul, subway rides that feel more luxurious than limousines. Nights spent building dreams side by side, until Winter's name shines across galleries, her photographs no longer just of Karina, but of a love that refuses to be hidden. When the world reacts-sometimes with venom, sometimes with hope-Karina must decide what matters more: the career she built from perfection or the imperfect, undeniable love she found through Winter's lens. Together, they defy the storm. Together, they inspire others-like Ningning and Giselle, a fan couple who find their own courage in Karina and Winter's love. And in the end, when Winter's photographs fill the walls of her first global exhibition, Karina sees herself not as the world's icon, but as one woman's truth. A love story that begins with a glance, survives scandal, and blossoms into forever. Tender, dramatic, intimate-Through Her Lens is not just about being seen, but about being known.

Karina is the idol everyone wants. Beautiful, talented, adored. On stage, she shines. Off stage... she's cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to please. Then comes Winter - her new bodyguard. Young, disciplined, trained to fight, and not easily shaken. The only problem? She's a girl. And Karina doesn't think a girl could ever protect her. But Winter is determined to prove her wrong. What happens when two icy hearts clash, and slowly start to melt? HIGHEST RANKINGS: #winrina 🥇 #karina 🥇 #jiminjeong 🥇 #yujimin 🥉

Minjeong and Jimin were everything to each other-trainees, friends, groupmates, lovers-until they weren't. Time passes, and they turn into different people: Minjeong becomes a viral soloist whose songs easily climb charts, and Jimin becomes a renowned actress whose face graces the screens of many. But for Minjeong, the memories don't fade. The love doesn't dim. She clings to a fragile hope that, one day, Jimin might return to her. And that day is none other than the 17th of November. For Jimin, it's just another mark on the calendar. For Minjeong, it's everything: their beginning, their breaking, and the day that refuses to let her go. (Inspired by David Nicholls' One Day)

Minjeong was just a quiet-looking librarian in the small town when one day, she could feel that there was this 'someone' stalking her on a daily basis. Too bothered by it, Minjeong decided to write her story down in her diary entries. "Dear diary, I saw a woman in a short black dress watching me between gaps of books. I am very concerned." *** inspired from tt @lostinpersia (02-16) *** g!p Minjeong

Karina doesn't date athletes. Especially not cocky ones. Winter's reputation as the school's golden girl-and the way she openly teases Karina in front of everyone-should make her the last person on earth Karina would fall for. But late-night practices, stolen glances, and one too many bets might push the cheer captain into dangerous territory: catching feelings.

Kim Minjeong's life is defined by being the best. Her one obsession? Taking down Yu Jimin-the perfect rival with the infuriating smirk. Their competition is legendary, fueled by icy glares and perfect scores. But when a project forces them together, Minjeong discovers the real threat isn't failing the class, it's falling for the enemy. Enemies, rivals, almost lovers. The line between winning and breaking is about to shatter......

Kim Minjeong is a ghost in her own life. At university, she's the quiet, awkward cybersecurity major no one notices - unless it's to mock her. Bullied by her classmates, sidelined in every group, and painfully alone, Minjeong blends into the background of a department dominated by arrogant men. And at the center of it all stands Yu Jimin - beautiful, adored, untouchable. The department's golden girl. The same girl every guy worships. The same girl Minjeong irrationally, obsessively hates. But Minjeong has a secret. Online, she becomes Winter, a white-hat hacker with a reputation for hunting down revenge porn and wiping it off the web - a digital vigilante who rescues women from humiliation without ever revealing herself. What she does isn't legal, and it doesn't pay, but it gives her the only thing that matters: control. Until one night, in the course of a takedown, Winter uncovers something shocking - a masked camgirl performing on a high-security livestream platform under the name Katarina. But Minjeong doesn't need facial recognition software to know who it is. Yu Jimin. The muse. The perfect girl. Hiding behind a mask, selling herself to the highest bidders online. And suddenly, Minjeong has power. Twisted by resentment, worn down by humiliation, and desperate for some form of justice, Minjeong makes a decision she never thought herself capable of: blackmail Jimin. It's supposed to be revenge. Just revenge. For how the world treated her while putting Jimin on a pedestal. But the line between hate and what started as manipulation begins to shift into something more dangerous: understanding, affection. Maybe even something real. When the truth comes out, what lies behind the mask?

❗️This is the second part of "The Ice Queen," so if you haven't read it yet, read that one first before this.❗️ Eight years later, Yu Jimin and Kim Minjeong cross paths once again.

Kim Minjeong is a transfer student who meets Yu Jimin, a withdrawn popular girl who has built an ice armor around herself because of a past relationship. But what neither of them expected is that fate wanted it this way. They already share a common past. Will the two hearts find each other among the memories?
