It is a two-minute short-form web drama produced in our country.
It tells the story of a Chinese girl coming to Seoul to watch the performance of her favorite K-pop idol, and then working as an idol's manager in her dream.
The story takes place against the backdrop of a unique place in Seoul, where the male protagonist was cast by Chinese actor Cheon Ji An-yu, who also gained recognition in Korea by appearing in Mnet's "Boyz Planet."
