In the age of AI-generated everything, we capture the last thing that cannot be automated: 26 human beings burning 8 months of their finite lives to chase a dream in Korea.
We've been working with Indian creators in Korea. Now we're scaling it.
No eliminations. No manufactured drama. Just the visible weight of time being spent.
AI floods the market with weightless content. Audiences hunger for something that cost someone something real. 26 young Indians invest 8 irreversible months to chase entertainment careers in Korea.
Korea production fully funded: 32 clinic locations backing this. Accommodation, visa support, AI-powered Korean language training, and production crew with ex-SM/JYP/YG background.
8 participants. K-POP debut, albums, concerts. The ultimate test of dedication.
7 participants. YouTube, brand deals, content empire. Building audience from zero in a foreign land.
6 participants. K-Drama casting, film roles. Breaking into the world's most competitive industry.
5 participants. Performance, choreography, tour contracts. Movement speaks every language.
A convergence of forces that won't happen again
AI floods the market with weightless content. Audiences are starving for something that cost someone something real. 26 people burning 8 months of finite life is that something.
K-culture is global, but no Indian faces yet. India has the dreamers; Korea needs the talent (population crisis). The bridge hasn't been built.
Came to Korea with nothing. Now 5M+ subscribers. She proved it's possible. We want to create 26 more stories like hers, with real support.
Kia x Squid Game S2 = Netflix Korea's first single-program title sponsorship. Hyundai's "Night Fishing" = Cannes Lions Entertainment Grand Prix.
5 Countries. 8 Months. No Way Back.
Casting, family stories, the decision to leave everything behind
Korean language, skill training, daily life at clinics, cultural immersion
Auditions, agency meetings, real industry exposure, make or break
Cross-cultural performances, market expansion, international audience
Final showcase, families fly in, the emotional climax of 8 months
