/ Music & Bands / Big Hit's New Girl Group: I'm a K-Pop Star?!
Synopsis
**Important Note: This is about a fictional OC girl surviving in the music industry and set in real, modern times. **
-------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis:
BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan, Bulletproof Boy Scouts, Beyond The Scene. The idol group had various names, but to Iris, BTS would forever be her inspiration, both in music and in life.
She had first encountered them by accident during BTS’s American Hustle Life. Curious and smitten by the adorably awkward boys who couldn’t speak English very well, she later discovered that they were K-pop idols. Upon discovering K-pop, she realized her passion for singing and dancing. She joined the Korean Culture Club at her university and participated in K-pop dance covers.
But as a practical girl, she never pursued music seriously. As a second generation American to Thai and Chinese parents, she felt a responsibility to graduate college and be a successful businesswoman. But BTS was the wildcard in her life. When she fatefully met them again during their Wings world tour, her life would never be the same again.
Tossed into the brutal world of K-pop, she became somehow became a Big Hit trainee!

Genres: Fan Fiction, (side) Romance Fiction
Question: Why is this listed as Realistic Fiction instead of Fan Fiction?
1) The MC is Iris Huang, a fictional character along with her family and the other Big Hit trainees. Any k-pop idols included in this story are secondary leads.
2) BTS are not the only k-pop included in this story; thus, this is more of a k-pop fanfic if anything. With that said, they are more integral to the story than the others.
But because this story began as an entry into the BTS writing competition, I have since after its end gotten some hate for writing it merely due to BTS fanfics swamping the Fan Fiction section. (I really don't see the case for it because the top popular fan fics listed only showed 3 BTS fan fics including mine much lower down the browsing results. But with the contest, the sudden influx probably messed up the New section.)
In short, imagine this as a fictional story that's realistic in being set in the modern world and time with real-life people's names. This story was never completely about BTS, it was about Iris surviving in the music industry. It's like saying a fantasy story can't also be a romance; even though, the story may be listed under Fantasy as the main genre.
3) I see stories on here not listed as fan fiction when they're based on TV shows and series, and the story MC is clearly the MC of that original show. Since I think my story follows Realistic Fiction more than as a BTS fan fiction since it isn't totally centered around them, I changed it two weeks after the competition ended. Additionally, now no one can complain about their favorite fan fiction being overrun by BTS ones.... I don't want to inadvertently add to the hate that BTS receives for stupid reasons like this.
-------------------------------------------------------
Note about the realism in this book:
All of the realism is to allow readers to be able to insert themselves as the MC as if living this reality for real in the modern world. I hope to share BTS's inspirational message to love yourself. May you gain the strength to also believe in yourself and follow your dreams~!

I'm honestly so pissed that this isn't higher on the list. Some of the other stories are very fishy(not a lot of views yet lots of votes, not a lot of chapters like this story). Anyways, this story is beautifully executed, with the fun sides of the BTS members that we all know and love, true to life. Thank you for writing this author. Don't give up hope. We will get you higher, and thank you for being honest and using the power of your writing to win votes instead of using fake accounts like I've seen some stories do.
Good luck author in the contest! Hope all your effort pays off as the only novel I found consistently putting out chapters with great content! For any Army this a great story that has more than BTS but all of kpop and korean culture. You researched and are knowledgeable. Hope people give this a chance and read it!
Definitely the best fantasy or dream you can have!! The MC is really likable and I mean it...I get really irked when girls frolick around the boys in some stories here so, when I say she is good...she is!!(well, till now anyway) A good take on this particular theme of being an 'idol'.... BTS feel lifelike and as the author said they do seem 'genuine'.... Story is engrossing and the only complain I have is about releases... Cute little Author, please release more.....teehee **. Story is definitely underrated...I've been reading everything on the first page and this definitely should be a little higher up!! Recommended!!
It's such an amazing story and I really love your MC Iris! The storyline does follow the real world one mostly thought, which is a plus! I cannot wait for another update as it's really building a nice plot up and I don't even try to gues the shippings, for safety reasons, till it's announced officially by the Author~ It really deserves a higher ranking in the compotition, as the other ones do seem extremely fishy *cough*fakeaccounts*cough*!!!
After this one you will finally get the rating you deserve, Chryiss! This story is literally a breath of fresh air. Everything is realistic, reflecting what would actually happen in the real world. All the personalities of BTS that we know and love are present in this fic. Iris is a very likeable character that any ARMY will be able to relate to. Grammar and linguistics is perfect like always. Chryiss, I always have high expectations from all of your works. Glad to see that this hasn't let me down. Plus, this fic could've won writing prompt 66 if it wasn't for the power stone votes being locked for a bit TwT Always here to support a fellow dark horse(do I even count as one? LMAO) Great quality updates. You can see the love put into this work, the passion and feeling. I love it. Ganbatte ne, Chryiss! Jia you, and fighting!
I am honestly so excited for the new chapter and I love the story so much. The story is very interesting because it can help you to realize that you can do something that you want and also to see that being hardworking can help you to achieve the goals of your own dreams.
I really love how the story progresses!!! And also how the main character life progresses, i really hope that she could could debut sooner or later. Im really looking forward to what kind of hurdles our main character will face and how she will conquer them. Hope she could be the hottest solo/group ido lthough😉
this novel suddenly pop up on the first page of rankings, so i thought that was weird. but author had a vote button problem?? seems like it is ok now tho? anyway the story is really good! author put a lot of thought into the real life details and i like iris not sure who i want her to be with yet. please keep going!
Five stars for awesome cover. I don't need to read cause I already know it's going to be good. It's BTS Chrysis-style. How can it be bad? Muwahahahah. Actually, only first chapter in but I like it a lot. And author's notes already leaves me intrigued. It's a realistic setup too. You have the stage now. Let's see would our MC can do.
I just started reading but am amazed by your character development! I love how you stay true to their true personalities. I too am writing my own fiction story with the BTS members, and it is great to read someone else’s fictional story. Wonderful work!
Yoooooooooooooooooo it's good story I think having 5 member will make it more fun and being "THE SECRET MEMBER " as a joker that will ad more meaning to it💎💜
It is a very nice book. It literally depicts the view of a trainee( real life) pursuing her/his dream of becoming an idol. I really recommend to read this book, as the author has greatly arranged the story, it not only tells about becoming an idol from a commoner but all so pursuing your dreams and knowing and trying for the work u remember doing. It is a really great book.

About time I write a review for this story which is so good. BTS is portrayed true to life and the main character Iris is likable and shows how being inspired by BTS and believing in oneself, you can achieve your dreams! The other characters are great too, Cindy and other real life characters from Produce 48! This story encompasses so much of the korean world and the idols. As a BTS or just a kpop fan you don't want to miss out on reading this story!!
to be honest, this is the very first novel i've read in this app and i'm not even regretting that i chose this book. the author did a very great job! hats off for you, authornim ♡
A super duper realistic story of BTS and yourself ... You can just imagine that your are the character itself and be with BTS ... This story just realize your dream with BTS ...
Just everything to the chatacters to the time placement and the progress in characters you can see how it starts and it Gets updated alot so AMAZING💕
I really liked the whole plot of the story even though it's not yet finished. The author's writing skills were better than I expected. I like how the main character of the story portrayed a more mature and respectful bts army. I hope that when the fans read this, they should be inspired at how the main character showed what a real fan should act in front of their idols.
Honestly, my favorite novel so far!! I love the characters. I appreciate a true ARMY!! Their actions are so close to how they are in real life it makes it so real. I love how long the story is as well. It seems like you put a lot of work into it and I really hope it pays off for you!! I'll be voting!!
