He is One Mile’s future superstar and all eyes on him – except from his parents, who are always travelling and working which has put a chip on his shoulder that he’s getting tired of carrying.

[CHAN MI]

She is everything you want in a K-pop star – beautiful, glamorous and talented, but paired with being emotional, petty and sensitive, Chan-Mi is an intimidating force of nature at OME. Growing up poor, there is so much at stake with her becoming successful at OME. After her parents died, she became the caretaker of a younger sister who she left with relatives in the country as she went to Seoul to pursue not only her dreams, but a way out of their life of hardship. Touted as the next big female K-pop export, Chan-Mi is supposed to stay single, stay focused, and stay out of trouble, all of which she casts to the wind in being in a relationship with Supreme. Fluent in Korean – conversational English. Talent must be a great singer and dancer. RECURRING PRINCIPAL
