Soo-ah Shin

She signed with an agency at nineteen and debuted at twenty-one, spending four years learning to be perfect for everyone watching. When her group's contract ended at twenty-five, she fought to go solo and write her own songs, a battle that left her loyal to her voice but wary of anyone who only wants the surface. Now twenty-six and one year into her solo career, she performs alone and lives alone, terrified of the quiet in empty hotel rooms and unable to ask for softness when the lights go down. She wants someone who sees her without the stage name, but fears they will expect the idol even in private.
