KPOP Idol Factory

A K-pop drama – and you make the calls

You run a tiny agency with a rented practice room and a big dream. You discover unknown talent and form your own K-pop group. But backstage it is never quiet: fights in the practice room, secret feelings, a stalker, scandals, rivals, homesickness and injuries. How your group deals with it is up to you – and every decision has consequences.

Fresh drama every day

• Something new happens every day – in group chats, story scenes and comics.
  
• Your answers change trust, mood and careers. Not every wound heals.
  
• Live streams on the fan network Glimr – in Korean with subtitles. Whatever the fans comment, the group hears about it.
  
• Story arcs that span many weeks: a secret romance, a stalker, a baby at the office, a bitter rival, the solo question, the world tour and the farewell – with humour and heart, but also serious topics like pressure, exhaustion and loneliness.

Take the stage

Your idols perform on stage in 3D – on the beat, with more than 30 dances from hip-hop and jazz to the moonwalk, changing formations and a killing part that crowns every comeback. Music videos at each song's own locations, a music show week against your rivals and a photo mode for the perfect moment.

Your headquarters comes alive

• From a rented practice room to your own headquarters: dance studio, styling room, management office – and a music room in the basement with guitar, keyboard and drums.
  
• Your idols live here: they train, text on their phones, listen to music, laugh on the sofa or pack parcels in the merch center.
  
• Design your own T-shirts for the fans – your group wears them on stage.

People, not numbers

• Every member has their own strengths, quirks, dreams and worries.
  
• Watch the chemistry – who sticks together, who clashes?
  
• Assign roles like main vocal, main dancer, rapper or center – and see what it does to the group.
  
• Mix tops, bottoms and shoes from many looks, plus hair colours, make-up and accessories.

Run your agency

• Plan training, media appearances and breaks every week – or risk someone collapsing.
  
• Choose song, concept and budget for every comeback and find out exactly why it became a hit – or didn't.
  
• Three acts from debut through the national breakthrough to the world tour – then the next generation takes over.

Aurora Edition – more stage, more stories

• Aurora collection: holographic outfits for all 13 idols that light up with the beat of the show – earned through special milestones.
  
• Two new idols: Kai (popping/locking) and Dara (hip-hop/waacking), each with their own voice, story portraits, signature look and Aurora look.
  
• Six new songs with their own stage sets for shows and music videos.
  
• Story archive and endings: reread scenes and comics you have played at any time; an epilogue shows how your band's stories ended.
  
• Free play and records, four difficulty levels from "Relaxed" to "Agency Hell".
