Morningstar’s Popstar Academy [BL]
"Kneel, and I might just let your little group survive another week."
Fifty elite trainees from all over the world were brought to the isolated Popstar Academy. For three brutal years, they must sing, bleed, and fight under the sadistic gaze of Mr. Morningstar—a cold, ruthlessly possessive billionaire who owns businesses across all sectors, except entertainment. This academy is his new toy, and only six boys will make it to the final debut.
Kyle Jackson, the charismatic American leader of the group, will do anything to protect his teammates. But when a fatal mistake threatens to disqualify them all, Kyle is forced into Morningstar’s private office to beg for mercy. He gets his mercy, but it comes with a dark, transactional price behind closed doors.
As the years tick down and the eliminations grow bloody, alliances fracture and forbidden desires ignite. Inside the dorms, the elegant British all-rounder, the flawless Korean visual, and the quiet Chinese rapper become entangled in a toxic, secret triad, while the hyper-masculine Brazilian main dancer vows to protect the delicate, angelic Japanese vocalist at all costs.
They will all debut. They will all become global superstars. But by the time the stage lights turn on, they will realize they don't belong to the fans... they belong to the billionaire who broke them.
