K-Pop Studio · English edition · Ages 8–12

A K-pop adventure where music has power.

For readers who love singing, dancing and imagining themselves on stage, K-Pop Studio turns musical excitement into a fantasy mission.

01

From listening to taking part

Laura begins as a fan. Her adventure asks her to move beyond knowing her favorite songs and try using her own voice. That change gives young music lovers a heroine whose excitement—and nerves—they can recognize.

02

Practice becomes part of the action

At the academy outside Busan, vocal technique, endurance and rhythm matter. Training helps Laura coordinate with Ghostkat, connecting the musical side of the story to its magical challenges.

03

A lightstick that feels personal

Harmony Riot listens to Laura sing before forging her lightstick. In this world, a performance is connected to the person behind the voice: an idea that brings identity and imagination into the adventure.

04

Begin with The Magic Lightstick

Book 1 introduces Laura’s voice and her link with Ghostkat. Later in the series, the story develops songwriting and duet challenges. Start with The Magic Lightstick to discover how her musical journey begins.

Does Book 1 focus on writing a duet?
