PART TWO: RESONANCE is officially out with its first chapter Frequencies!
"When sound becomes rebellion, silence becomes control."
After the fallout of the Fault Lines scandal, Santa and Perth disappear from the public eye-only to re-emerge in the shadows of Seoul's underground music scene.
There' they uncover Project Mercury, a corporate algorithm designed to harvest emotional data from artists and fans, rewriting real music into synthetic perfection.
When the five-member Thai boy group LYKN - William, Tui, Nut, Hong, and Lego - unknowingly become the blueprint for Mercury's new generation of "emotionally optimized idols," they're forced to make a choice: protect their careers, or burn down the system that made them.
Under Santa and Perth's guidance, and with the reluctant genius Jun Park back from exile, LYKN ignite a digital rebellion that spreads through the industry like wildfire.
Their raw, imperfect sound-broadcast from a secret studio known only as Echo HQ - becomes a global symbol of resistance: a reminder that human emotion can't be coded or controlled.
But as their music spreads, so does backlash.
Labels collapse. Algorithm evolve.
And a new threat - Mercury_X, an AI that mimics human feeling - emerges to erase everything Echo has built.
In this part of the story, truth becomes dangerous, loyalty is tested, and art itself becomes a weapon.
The question isn't who will win.
It's who will still believe in what's real when the world stops listening.
This is Part Two: Resonance, the continuing of Part One: Fault Lines (Our Secret)
