Summer of Seoul episode 26
Yumi's rehearsal.
From the start of this comic I wanted to include the hard elements of being a kpop idol and not sugar coat Yumi's experiences. If you have been a k-pop fan for any amount of time you will understand the extreme pressures that these people are put under to perform until they pass out and starve themselves for days while their every move is being scrutinized.
This episode embodies the balance of both the euphoria of performing and the anxiety of being assessed and deemed not good enough.
