Choose an audition lane
The game offers Big 4, mid-size and small agencies. Treat your first choice as a story branch, not a universal best answer.
Beginner guide
A practical route through what the official game description confirms—without pretending there is one solved path.
Build all three skills
Train Vocal, Dance and Charm. Use the planner to spot a neglected area instead of relying on an invented target.
Watch Stress
The developer calls Stress out explicitly. Avoid treating every open moment as mandatory training.
Read timed choices
Scandals, rivals and tough decisions happen in real time. Slow down enough to understand the tradeoff.
Debut, then adapt
Comebacks, chart performance, awards, contracts and agency moves expand the career after debut.
Restart with notes
The game encourages replaying for every ending. Record the key decisions that made one run different.
A sensible first-run priority
Balanced skills and manageable Stress give you a clean baseline. Enter your current bars in the training planner; its score is a comparison tool, not an official threshold.
After your first ending
Open the endings map and choose a different career theme. If you want a music-first target, the Daesang Legend is the clearest named prestige outcome.
