The Stage of Shadows
Twelve-year-old Hana Kim has always dreamed of becoming singing, dancing, and dazzling the world on stage as a Kpop idol. When she earns a scholarship to K-Pop Academy, Seoul’s most prestigious training school, she’s ready for hard work, long hours, and intense competition. But, what she’s not expecting are the shadows – dark, whispering demons that slink into rehearsal rooms and feed on the students’ fears of failure.
Cursed Spotlight
Each year, one trainee at K-pop Academy is chosen for the coveted Spotlight Solo, but legends say every winner is cursed. When Nari is selected, her anxieties spiral as shadow demons twist the superstition into a weapon. The group begins falling apart due to their fear of what the curse might do to them. But, with the other members of AURA by her side and the up-and-coming boy group VORTEX ready to sing backup, Nari must summon the courage to nail her vocals, save her school, and prove that friendship shines brighter than fear.
Crystal Beat
At K-Pop Academy, the friends are preparing for their midyear exams. In order to pass, they must achieve flawlesskalgunmu (synchronized choreography), but it is proving harder than it looks. A legendary crystal drum promises to ‘hold the heartbeat of idols past’, so surely it will help! But, the drum’s untested magic drives them into rivalry instead of rhythm. To pass their exams ― and survive the term ― the group must learn that true harmony comes from trust, not shortcuts, and there is no ‘I’ in ‘team’.
Guardians Glow
Hana and her K-pop crew are back, and this time they’ve got to prove their super singing and dancing skills in an inter-school showcase against its fiercest rivals. Spirit guardians summoned by the epic performances dazzle the crowds, but when one spirit goes rogue, the competition turns deadly. Hana's team must face sabotage, betrayals, and the toxic side of fandom to protect each other, and everyone else!
Tiger's Eye
Moving into the trainee dorms brings new independence and new dangers for Hana and her K-pop crew. The friends soon begin to see two animal avatars: a gentle, watchful tiger and a mischievous little bird. At first, they both seem harmless, but as the group prepares for their debut music video, the bird’s true nature as a shadow spirit emerges. The group must decide if they can trust the tiger, and their instincts, to protect their music; their strongest weapon against the darkness, and save the school.
The Song of Tomorrow
Graduation is right around the corner, and lots of big decisions await Hana and her friends. But, before they can choose their next steps, the academy is thrown into chaos by a demon conductor intent on silencing K-pop forever! To save their future, Hana and her friends must unite the entire school in one final performance powerful enough to drive the shadows away. Will they succeed?
