Han Jihoon has dreamed of becoming a K-pop idol his entire life but dreams alone aren't enough. Before he can even think about debuting, he must survive the intense, competitive world of Prime One Entertainment's official training school, Apex Idol Academy.
Thrown into a world of brutal evaluations, sleepless nights, vocal drills, dance battles, and emotional highs and lows, Jihoon must learn to fight for his place among dozens of talented trainees each one desperate for the same spotlight.
Friendships form, rivalries flare, and the pressure rises. With Coach Yura's unforgiving lessons, Kwon Minjae's rivalry, and the constant fear of elimination hanging over him, Jihoon pushes himself harder than ever.
But when trainees are suddenly assigned to write and perform their own original songs, Jihoon discovers that chasing a dream means confronting the parts of himself he's always been afraid to show.
In a world where every month can end your future, Jihoon must prove that he's not just another trainee he's someone meant for the stage.
