Whiplash
Seojin moves to Hongdae, with just a guitar case by her side, away from her parents. "I'll make it big!" she says. Unfortunately, the reality is a bitch. Waitress, bartender, cashier, Seojin takes on any job she can to pay her rent. No one pays attention to her not so mainstream music. One ordinary exhausting day, a customer gives Seojin his card. He wants her to audition for his entertainment company, MI Entertainment.
Years go by. Seojin is an Idol. Her newfound fame makes her parents proud, but she isn't happy. The CEO banned her from practicing her music long ago as she was not profitable playing such a genre. They even locked away her guitar in the company storage room.
One particular unfulfilling day, Seojin breaks into the storage room and sits down with her guitar. Her contract was almost over. What's the worst that could happen?
She plays her music, but the prized calluses on her playing fingers are no longer.
She looks at her hand.
'Perhaps, I'll find hope in StarChant.'
