Midnight Idols

Secrets Beneath the Stage Lights

In the vibrant heart of South Korea’s K-pop scene, shadows stretch long and deep. Midnight Idols uncovers a world where music collides with ancient darkness, and the beat of the stage hides a battle for the soul of a nation. The seemingly unstoppable rise of two rival idol groups—one legendary for their killer choreography, the other notorious for something much more sinister—sets the stage for a modern gothic thriller like no other.

Ancient Nightmares, Modern Heroines

Centuries ago, a catastrophic lab accident spawned South Korea’s first vampires, infecting those inside with a rabid, animalistic thirst. As the cursed multiplied, chaos reigned. Only the courage and fierce dedication of three young women, the original vampire slayers, turned the tide—birthing a legacy passed down through generations, culminating in today’s legendary girl group, known to the world as pop princesses, yet secretly sworn protectors of humanity.

When Fame and Fate Collide

2025. Yanelis, Emmi, and Jaek-ya rule the charts. But behind the bright stages and fan adoration, they hunt the shadows to keep the public safe and blissfully ignorant of the lurking horrors. The peace shatters when a new boy-band—charismatic, unexplainably magnetic, and dangerously undead—captures the nation’s attention. As disappearances mount, the girls risk everything to uncover the boys' true nature—and the cost of letting their guard down amidst fame, friendship, and forbidden attraction.

Personal Stakes, Public Dangers

Every chapter is crafted from meticulous research into Korean folklore, modern fandom culture, and the psychology of secret lives. Readers will delve into gripping battle scenes, heartfelt connections, and the inner turmoil of women forced to choose between their duty and their hearts. The tangled relationships—especially as Emmi is drawn to the gentle Soala and Yanelis faces off with the enigmatic Hak-kun—raise the personal stakes for all involved.

Betrayal, Loss... and a Second Chance

The novel’s climactic showdown blurs the line between enemy and ally, with tragic consequences and an unforgettable twist. In the aftermath, the world moves on—but history, as ever, is doomed to repeat itself. When the band returns, changed beyond recognition, the girls’ loyalty, grit, and courage are tested like never before. For anyone who’s ever believed in heroes behind the spotlight, Midnight Idols delivers an electrifying, emotionally resonant odyssey where music saves souls—and sometimes dooms them.
