It's winter at K-Pop Academy, and Nari gets her biggest break yet: the coveted (and, um, maybe a little cursed) Spotlight Solo at the school's Lunar New Year celebration. Facing her fears is a lot to ask, especially when a fiery demon dog is on the loose feeding on everyone's chaos and self-doubt. With the other members of AURA by her side and the up-and-coming boy group VORTEX ready to sing backup, Nari must summon the courage to nail her vocals, save her school, and prove that friendship shines brighter than fear. Perfect for fans who are obsessed with K-pop, The Cursed Spotlight offers a welcome return to the stage with a fresh new friend group of soul-searching, demon-fighting performers.
