Well she is very qualified to tell that story ...not sure about writing it.
I hope its good enough to read.

but just think of all the drama they will have to add ... not sure the inherent drama of kids competing for spots will be enough. They will need fights and feuds to 'spice' it up

oh dang 👀

 

[jasque]

I hope it has some indirect shades

If it's YA, we're not quite the target market for this altho we're adjacent as kpop fans. I hvnt read many (for certain definition of "many") but the drama n stuff of YA is more about the concerns of teens/tweens or watever the age of the protagonists/audience.
I'm more dubious if she knows the target market/has a good editor n can produce a compelling-to YA audience/kpop-adjacent market.
I do hv hopes she'll do a good job or it wouldn't be published at all.
ETA: I ignoredly don't click the link OP so I just found the synopsis:
Overview:

Crazy Rich Asians meets Gossip Girlby way of Jenny Han in this knock-out debut about a Korean American teen who is thrust into the competitive, technicolor world of K-pop, from Jessica Jung, K-pop legend and former lead singer of one of the most influential K-pop girl groups of all time, Girls Generation.
What would you sacrifice for a chance to live your dreams?
For seventeen-year-old Korean American Rachel Kim, the answer is almost everything. Or at least that’s been the answer for the past six years, ever since she was recruited by DB Entertainment—one of Seoul’s largest K-pop labels, known for churning out the industry’s most popular stars.
The rules are simple: Train 24/7. Be perfect. Don’t date. So while Rachel and her fellow trainees face grueling practices, punishing expectations, and ruthless competition, they know it’s worth it for the chance to debut in DB’s newest girl group.
And when the opportunity to sing with K-pop star and DB golden boy Jason Lee arises, Rachel knows this is her chance to get noticed. To finally debut. The only problem? Jason is charming, sexy, and ridiculously talented—he’s exactly the kind of distraction Rachel can’t afford to have. And exactly the kind she can’t stay away from.
Get ready as Jessica Jung, K-pop legend and former lead singer of Korea’s most famous girl group, Girls Generation, takes us inside the twisted, technicolor world of K-pop. Where following your dreams might just mean living through a nightmare. Where the stakes are high, but for one girl, the cost of success might be even higher.
It’s time for the world to see: this is what it takes to SHINE.

About wat id expect from YA novel after reading Crazy Rich Asians trilogy n Jenny Han "All the boys" trilogy as well as the movies adapted therefrom. I'll probably read it but hope it's not too formulaic or cliche ridden, even if it is mostly taken from her/others' real life, Real Life™ can be cliched/formula ridden.
Still expect it to be a blast , at least for all the tea(irony intended).
