The Dark Behind A Star

When Dreams Cross Oceans, Secrets Follow.

Skylar Kim has spent years surviving instead of living. Plagued by anxiety, an eating disorder, and a relentless fear of not being enough, she finds comfort in one thing: the music of world-famous K-pop star CHRIS, whose songs carried her through her darkest moments.

When an overseas psychology program offers her the chance to study at Hwangbo University in Seoul, it feels like fate. Alongside her fiercely loyal childhood best friend, Minah, Skylar leaves America behind, believing Korea will be the beginning of the best days of her life.

Instead, everything changes.

New friendships blossom with the radiant girl Samantha Ha-rin Hwang. Old insecurities deepen. Tensions with Minah threaten to shatter the bond that once felt unbreakable. And when Skylar unexpectedly comes face-to-face with CHRIS himself, the idol she worshipped begins to seem less like a dream and more like a dangerous mystery.

As admiration turns into obsession, trust crumbles, and hidden wounds resurface, Skylar must confront a painful question:

How do you heal when the person you thought saved you may be the one who destroys you?

A poignant coming-of-age story about friendship, mental health, identity, and the perilous gap between fantasy and reality, [Title] explores what it truly means to be seen, to be loved, and to save yourself.

Some idols are stars in the sky. Others are falling ones.
