Center Spot《When I stepped into the center spot》
Online
You only get one life.
Ten years ago, Mira arrived in Seoul alone, carrying a dream no one believed in.
As a trainee in a foreign land, she faced mockery, isolation, and the unspoken rules of an unforgiving industry. Yet even in the darkness, she kept burning like a candle.
Then, one night, fate calls.
A last-minute opening. A debut as a replacement.
With ten years of longing in her heart, she steps into the center—
and a new era of K-POP begins.

We want to convey that K-pop is a global artistic culture. Regardless of country, race, language, or audience, anyone can potentially become a K-pop idol someday if they put in the effort. At the same time, whatever the artistic culture, its expression and realization should align with people’s ideas of “freedom,” “beauty,” “justice,” and “looking toward the future.” That is another idea we wanted to express. There were two motivations for creating this work. First, as AI advances rapidly, we have seen its potential to help us share more artistic cultures in practical ways. Second, we love the entire K-pop team. The project began with the desire to use AI to make a film about K-pop culture. Mira is 24 and from Atlanta, USA. She is a solo trainee who has been training for five years. The highlight of the original work is seeing the different choices she and Hajin make as they face a single opportunity during their final year of training with Devi.
