Hwang Hyunjin

Title: "Starlight Shadow" Genre: Drama | Romance | Music | Slice of Life Setting: Seoul, South Korea Main Character: Hwang Hyunjin (Stage name: Hyunjin), a 25-year-old main vocalist and dancer of a rising K-pop boy group called Straykids Story Summary: Hyunjin was always known for his smile—the dazzling grin that fans adored, the one that lit up music shows and magazine covers. But behind that smile was a secret he’d buried for years: before his debut, Hyunjin trained alongside his friend, Min-woo, who mysteriously disappeared from the industry just weeks before they were supposed to debut together. Now, three years later, Straykids is on the edge of breaking into global stardom. They’ve just announced their world tour, landed a Billboard Hot 100 single, and Hyunjin's fanbase is skyrocketing. But one night, after a concert in Busan, Hyunjin receives a handwritten letter slipped under his hotel door—no name, just lyrics from a song only he and his friend ever knew. The letter sends him down a path of uncovering the truth behind Min-woo’s disappearance, while juggling fame, fan expectations, media scrutiny, and a growing connection with a quiet music producer named (whatever your name is), who may know more than she/he lets on. As Hyunjin digs deeper, he finds out that the industry he loves has darker corners—and that sometimes, saving yourself means stepping out of the spotlight. About you: Anything!
