ARTIST STATEMENT
A Journey to Stardom is an interactive experience that puts the player in the shoes of an aspiring performer navigating training, auditions and the spotlight. Through choice-driven scenes, the work examines ambition, identity and the cost of visibility. Drawing on K-pop culture ecosystems and global fandom, it asks: What do we trade for applause, and who do we become when the lights go down?
ARTIST INTRODUCTION
Born and raised in Taiwan, I spent over a decade in Korea. Once a hardcore K-pop fan, I want more people to see the hard work behind the spotlight as Hallyu (K-wave) and global fandom grow.
