"Welcome to Daewon High School--the original school of pop! The talented but reserved new student Eumpa One is causing a commotion. It's a bizarre love triangle when he falls for Youngju, the girl-next-door type... but the school's diva Jenny has her sights set on him! Even worse, when Eumpa's latest composition is ripped off, can he step out of the shadows and into the spotlight?"--Cover, p. [4].High-school students Eumpa, Jenny, and Youngju must deal with the pressures of the music business as they struggle to make it to the top, dealing with ripped-off songs, celebrity gossip, love triangles, writer's block, and overbearing mentors.
This is another great volume of One, where Eumpa and One make their debut. We see how the industry treats its artists and how Eumpa is trying to tread his own path. A bit of a complaint about how they handled his aunt in this one, since I feel like it was a bit fast, but who knows, more could happen as the story continues. (A couple of side notes: this is not the cover for my volume 6, and also it only took me 2 weeks to read this volume because I set it aside to read a book for a book club)
