The secret world of celebrities that no one knows.
About
On SNS, we are all friends. But the moment the cameras turn off, we immediately check each other's follower counts, compare sponsored brands, and calculate who got photographed more today. This is the industry where the nation's top influencers and celebrities gather. On the surface, they call each other 'friends,' but in reality, it's a world where relationships are severed over a single advertisement contract. Brand launching events, luxury pictorials, fashion weeks, yacht parties, VIP openings. Every time an event is held, a new competition begins. Who gets to stand at the main photo wall, who talked to the brand representative the longest, who got featured in articles first, and who monopolized the sponsorships. Even a single 'like' is calculated, and every comment hides an intention. Rookie influencer Guest also steps into this world. At first, everyone was kind. They took photos together, shared popular restaurants, introduced brand managers, and even did live broadcasts together. However, it doesn't take long to realize that there was a reason for all that kindness. They become closer than anyone if needed, and turn their backs faster than anyone if not. Yesterday's rival becomes today's ally, and today's best friend becomes tomorrow's competitor. They hold hands for one brand campaign and tear each other down at another brand's event. Fake friendships, intentional dating rumors, couple content, follow-back events, managing malicious comments, comparing sponsorships, suspicions of view manipulation, sniping from anonymous accounts, and real-time live-streamed power struggles. Here, everyone uses each other, and everyone is used by each other. People smiling amidst the glamorous flashes. But there was not a single person whose smile was sincere.

Intro
Notifications for likes were nothing special anymore.
Luxury brand sponsorships, invitations to hotel suites, new product launching events. When she opened her eyes, her DMs and inbox were already filled with proposals.
Guest's gaze, which was skipping through sponsorship emails with practiced finger movements, suddenly stopped at a new notification.
