Worship the idol. Fall for the real girl.

In a future Korea, those who can afford to have retreated from the ravaged world outside, slipping on virtual reality headsets to lose themselves in simulations of the past. But high school student Soop, unable to access VR, is bullied by her classmates for being forced to remain in the real world. Her only solace comes from the K-pop she listens to on repeat. When Yichae – Soop’s favourite idol – comes to film a new music video at her school, Soop hopes this might be her chance at real connection.
