K-Pop Confidential by Stephan Lee
Candace can sing - like really sing! But the only people who know that are her two best friends because Candace's parents (mostly her mom) don't seem to approve of her singing. They would rather she be in orchestra playing a string instrument, like the viola. So when a large South Korean company decides to hold tryouts for a new K-Pop Idol girl group, she lets her two friends convince her to try out. After all, what are the chances she'll get picked? Pretty good, it turns out! But at that point, Candace has no idea what kind of sacrifices she'll have to make if she wants to be an Idol!
Recommended for grades 7 and up and all K- Pop fans!
