A New Year For Both. | Doshin

Shinyu's anticipation was palpable as he prepared to leave behind the school that had been a relentless source of torment for him. The prospect of starting fresh at Pledis School filled him with hope. He had heard that Pledis, known for valuing talent and intellect over superficial beauty, was a place where he might finally find acceptance and respect. The thought of escaping the constant bullying and finding a place where his true abilities would be recognized was exhilarating.

Meanwhile, Dohoon, a student at Pledis since middle school, was entering 10th grade with a sense of normalcy. Pledis was known for its welcoming environment and emphasis on nurturing students' talents rather than their appearances. Dohoon had heard rumors about Shinyu, a new transfer from SM School. Given SM's reputation, it was no surprise to Dohoon that students from there ended up at Pledis. However, Shinyu seemed different.
