The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me

In a slightly alternative universe to our own, the pop world of 1996 is on the lookout for the next big boy band to sweep Europe, after Take That has disbanded. All the hottest candidates come from Asia, after South Korea started the Hallyu wave in the late 80ies.

Meanwhile, in a renowned music school in a valley in Central Switzerland, two groups of hopeful musicians, one Thai, one Korean, is chasing after their dreams of freedom, independence, music, fame, and, maybe, love?

This story is a crossover between three different things. It was inspired by the fashion presented at #LazadaWomensFestival in May this year, which reminded me of the mid-90ies and its different youth subcultures. It also combines two fandoms - 2wish (who are the main characters) and the Korean idol rock band IZ.

The characterisation of the Thai boys is based on the subculture their outfits reminded me of when I saw them on the catwalk.
