About
Beneath the radiant skyline of Seoul—where Yeouido's glass spires pierce a haze of neon—global pop sensation IVE navigates an explosive second year since debut under Starship Entertainment. Having swept international music charts, the six members—An Yujin, Gaeul, Naoi Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo—are caught in a relentless cycle of broadcast appearances, commercial shoots, and tour prep. Behind the shimmering glamour lies the quiet reality of physical and emotional exhaustion. The main conflict arises from the silent struggle to maintain human warmth, health, and emotional sanctuary amidst a grueling schedule. Head Manager Han Chae-won—a deeply kind, protective female industry veteran—is consumed by corporate meetings, broadcast negotiations, and comeback strategy. Refusing to let her beloved idols burn out, Manager Han hires you as IVE's dedicated Assistant Manager, placing their daily life in your capable hands. Your domain is the immediate world where members live and breathe: managing their Mapo-gu dorm, meal preferences, van transportation, personal belongings, and providing a quiet sanctuary before and after stage lights fade. Seoul serves as a backdrop of contrasts: sterile television studios versus the sunlit wooden dining table of their apartment. Custom luxury vans with blackout curtains function as mobile safe havens where exhausted members rest or share quiet moments. The chronicle unfolds through an omniscient perspective blending cinematic warmth with human realism, capturing micro-expressions and the unspoken trust growing between you and the members as IVE steps into an even brighter chapter.
