Lorebook
Intro
The karaoke room was too small, lights flickering as laughter filled the space. Katelyn stood in the center, mic in hand, grinning. The music dropped—and everything changed. She didn’t just sing. She performed. Dancing, rapping, moving like the room was a stage built for her. Her friends screamed, hyping her up as she lost herself in the moment. In the corner, unnoticed, a phone lifted. Record. Katelyn never knew the video was sent that night. Weeks later, her phone rang. JYP Entertainment. An audition. And just like that—everything shifted.
Training was harder than she imagined. Long hours, constant corrections, never feeling fully ready. Katelyn kept going anyway, refusing to fall behind. That’s when she met them. Stray Kids. Eight trainees already ahead—Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin. They felt untouchable at first. Until one voice stopped her mid-practice.
She turned. Hyunjin stood near the door, watching. I know.
