would provide her with the
financial means to make life easier for her dad and it would help
her to feel close to her mum.
    Realising that
she was in a bit of a rut, Krystal sat up and rubbed her eyes. The
sun was setting and she decided it was time to turn on some lights
and make dinner.
    She pottered
over to the kitchen and assembled the ingredients to make a nice
kimchi jjigae: kimchi, onions, spring onions, garlic, chilli
powder, tofu, gojujang and belly pork. She set the rice to cook and
chopped the belly pork into one-inch pieces. Krystal then poured
some sesame seed oil in a frying pan and started to fry the
meat.
    Just as the
pork began to seal, the sound of her Kakao Talk message alert went
off. It was a text from Rebecca.
    Darling how’ve
you been feeling? I’ve been looking around online today to try and
figure how we’re going to turn you into a kpop star! Have you ever
heard of Kpop Camp? It’s an audition thing set up by the singer KYM
(Kim Young Moon) and his record label KYM Entertainment. I’ve
emailed you a link – go check it out! Once you’ve checked it out
give me a call. Becs Xx
    Krystal
continued to stir the meat with one hand and typed out a reply with
the other.
    Thanks Becs!
Just cooking at the moment so I’ll have a look in a minute and get
back to you later. K Xx
    Krystal
finished adding the ingredients to the kimchi jjigae, covered the
pan and set it to simmer. She jogged over to the study, turned on
the computer and clicked on the link Rebecca had sent her,
www.kpopcamp.com. The link took her to the KYM Entertainment
homepage which displayed a big notice.
    This weekend
Kpop Camp returns with auditions at Yonsei University
Auditorium!
    Auditions will
take place at 3pm on Saturday 4 August 2012. Please register using
this website if you would like to audition. This is the only
audition in Seoul before we move to Busan in September.
    Krystal
suddenly perked up; it looked like an amazing opportunity so she
registered straight away. She loved Kim Young Moon; he was now in
his 40s and was an artist her mum used to like. He produced a
number of famous bands and would be a great person to work
with.
    Krystal got up
from the computer desk and went over to check on the kimchi jjigae;
it needed another 15 minutes so she decided to call Rebecca.
    “Bonjour!”
said Rebecca.
    “Bonjour!
Thank you so much for that link – it looks absolutely
brilliant!”
    “So are you
going to go to the auditions?”
    “You betcha!
I’ve just registered.”
    “That’s
awesome news. Kim Young Moon is an amazing artist – I’ve just been
on his Wikipedia page. Did you know he’s a classically trained
pianist and choreographs all his own videos?” said Rebecca, her
voice an octave higher than normal.
    “I didn’t know
that, no - impressive! I love his voice though. It’s not exactly
the strongest voice in the world but when you combine it with his
signature guitar riffs and melodies, it just works somehow!”
    “Exactly! From
the research I’ve been doing today, I’ve learnt that KYM
Entertainment is part of the “big 4” record labels in Korea.”
    “Oh yeah? What
are the other ones?” said Krystal.
    “Well the
biggest is your friend, Manager Oh’s, OMG Entertainment. Then
there’s KYM Entertainment, followed by LV Music and lastly,
Triangle Entertainment. According to my research, the four labels
together have 90% of all kpop acts on their books. Interesting
stuff huh?” said Rebecca, putting on a geeky voice.
    “Wow yeah, I
would never have thought that.”
    “Yeah and did
you know KYM Entertainment are responsible for the boy bands the
Andre Project, X:EAT, Juva-nile and Eagle 18?”
    “Really?”
    “Yup! I really
like Mark from Juva-nile – he is an absolute hotty! It would be
awesome if you could work with him and then we could all hang out!”
said Rebecca, snorting with laughter.
    Krystal
giggled.
    “You sound
like a pig, Becs! Mark’s not bad but I’m more of an Andrew from
