K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut is a love letter to the thrilling world of K-pop! In this life simulator, you’re the manager responsible for scouting talent, managing schedules, creating budgets, planning social media, choosing music, and styling your idols. Your goal? To debut the next big K-pop idol group!
Choose Your Trainees: Each trainee has unique characteristics and a backstory. One girl might have fierce confidence that drives fans wild but could also disrupt the group dynamic. Another might be a shy songbird who needs a little encouragement to shine—how will she handle the spotlight when she’s ready for the stage? As their manager, it’s up to you to understand their stories, personalities, and strengths. Assemble a diverse and dynamic group of idols to create the perfect team!
Original K-pop Soundtrack: What’s your K-pop group’s concept? Choose the soundtrack for their debut single, produced by a K-pop composer exclusively for this game.
Your Choices Matter: What kind of manager are you? Disciplined and straightforward, or caring and compassionate? Will you prioritise pleasing the label’s board members? Will you always be honest with your trainees, or keep certain things secret until debut day? The choice is yours.
Unlock and Plan Schedules: Should you send your idols to rigorous dance practice, or let them unwind with a relaxing yoga class? Your choices impact the team’s growth and the story’s direction.
