1004 (Cheonsa) is a contemporary story set behind the scenes of K-pop.
Angel Willson, an Australian-Korean PR manager living in Manhattan, is raising a child she adopted after losing a close friend. When her job brings her back into the K-pop world, she is assigned to work with BYGONE - a global group inspired by the kind of bonds and leadership fans love in groups like Stray Kids.
As Angel grows closer to BYGONE's British-based leader, Alex, strict dating bans, intense fandom pressure, and her role as a single mother collide. Her son Sam already sees the idol as family - something that could destroy everything if it's discovered.
This book explores the reality behind K-pop fame, the pressure idols face when it comes to love and family, and the impossible choices women make when career, motherhood, and desire overlap.
I added a small Korean glossary at the end of the book for anyone who's learning their first Korean words through K-pop.
