In the dazzling heart of Seoul, South Korea—where beauty is currency and virality is everything—fame isn’t just a dream. It’s power. It’s status. It’s survival. At the very top sits The Spotlight Circle—an elite inner ring of influencers, idols, fashion darlings, beauty moguls, and chaebol heirs who command millions with a post and destroy reputations with a whisper. Their lives are a blur of red carpet premieres, curated brunches, designer hauls, and private jets. Their faces are on billboards, their names trend weekly, and their brands rake in billions. But in a world built on illusion, nothing is ever what it seems. Every story is filtered. Every smile rehearsed. Behind each “candid” post is a marketing team, a silent NDA, or a knife ready to stab someone in the back. Because in The Circle, loyalty is fleeting and scandal is currency. The higher you climb, the more fragile your balance—and the louder the crowd waiting to watch you fall.

Then came the tragedy.

When one of The Circle’s brightest stars, Jung Harin —a beloved influencer known for her soft image and perfect life—was found dead in her luxury hotel suite, the internet shattered. Her fans were devastated. The headlines called it suicide. Her friends posted tributes. But behind closed doors? People whispered. Some cried for her. Others? Breathed a little easier.

A few weeks later, the Circle gathers for one final goodbye: A lavish, invitation-only memorial party held on a rooftop overlooking the Seoul skyline. Sponsored by one of the biggest K-beauty brands, the venue is covered in ivory roses and LED tributes playing her old campaign ads. Everyone is dressed in black. The cameras are out. The mood is somber—at least, outwardly.

Everyone is grieving publicly. But someone is lying. Eyes flit across the crowd. Hushed gossip buzzes behind champagne glasses. Influencers go live, capturing the “moment.” And amid the curated mourning and picture-perfect tears, someone watches silently, phone in hand. And then, as if summoned by the chaos, the notification hits every phone in the room. @XposéX has posted. “Pretty tears on pretty faces. But one of you killed her. And I’m going to prove it.” Unfiltered screenshots. Leaked DMs. Surveillance photos no one should have. Secrets only insiders could know. One by one, the inner circle is threatened to be exposed. Affairs, betrayals, sabotage, stolen deals—nothing is safe. Not love. Not loyalty. Not legacy. Now, the once untouchable are scrambling. PR teams are in overdrive. Group chats are silent. Collaborations are threated to collapse. The pressure is mounting. Because no one knows who’s next—or who’s behind the account. Is it revenge? A cover-up? Or someone inside the Circle playing a long, dangerous game? Either way, one thing’s certain: Everyone has something to lose. And someone has nothing left.

Welcome to Seoul’s glittering nightmare—where the hashtags are hollow, the friendships are fake, and the truth is the most dangerous post of all. Everyone’s chasing clout—some were born into it, others clawed their way to the top, and a few? They’re ready to burn the whole platform down just to get the last word.

Trust no one. Screenshot everything.

Because in The Circle? You’re either trending… or getting cancelled.

roles...
The Ghost – “The Ex-BFF Turned Outsider”
Taken
the quiet one in the circle, she was the only person truly close to the deceased—closer than anyone realized. Their bond ran deep, built on secrets, late-night calls, and shared trauma. When the death made headlines, she disappeared, claiming grief… but she was also protecting herself. Because she knows things—things she shouldn’t—and maybe did something that night she can’t take back. Now she’s back in the circle, cloaked in grief and soft smiles. But behind it all, she’s calculated, sharp, and dangerously observant. She wants answers, yes—but she also wants control. Her loyalty died with her best friend, and now she plays the game just like the rest of them. Quiet, cold, and watching but she also wants revenge. And if someone has to get burned along the way, so be it.
The Muse – “The Untouchable Queen”
open
She’s the epitome of grace and perfection—always immaculately styled, always composed, always at the top of the trend cycle. On the outside, she’s a respected fashion icon, the kind of influencer who speaks in soundbites and gets paid in six figures per post. But her rise to fame wasn't as clean as she claims. Her brand's foundation is built on someone else’s stolen idea, and she’s spent years ensuring no one ever finds out. Her power lies in how well she plays the game—manipulating narratives, forming alliances, and eliminating competition behind the scenes. But secrets don’t stay buried forever, especially in a world where exposure is only a click away.
The Upstart – “The Viral Socialite”
open
She wasn’t born into fame, but she sure acts like it. With the designer closet of a chaebol heiress and the unapologetic mouth of a viral queen, She is a walking headline. Her rise wasn’t an accident—it was built. Backed by a mysterious investor, she knew exactly who to befriend, what to post, and how to climb her way to the top. And now that she's there? She’s not letting go. she thrives on mess. She leaks her own screenshots, picks fights for engagement, and curates chaos like it’s a brand deal. Her whole image screams “raw and real,” but behind the messy aesthetic is someone terrifyingly calculating. She's clingy with the Muse—not out of love, but out of strategy. Fame by association, baby. Everyone thinks they know her, but the truth is: she is always five steps ahead.
The Heartthrob –"The Nation’s Sweetheart"
open
He’s South Korea’s beloved golden boy—a model-turned-actor with a megawatt smile and a heart-of-gold persona. He’s adored by the public and idolized by fans. But behind the polished smile is a man unraveling. Privately battling depression, anxiety, and a growing dependency on substances, the pressure to be perfect is crushing him. He was secretly involved with the deceased influencer, and he knows for a fact that their death wasn’t a suicide. He’s hiding more than grief—he’s hiding guilt. And someone out there knows the truth.To protect himself—and his career—he’s now dating the Muse. She’s powerful, calculated, and the perfect alibi. But there’s just one problem: he doesn’t love her. Not even close.
The Lurker – “The Watcher”
open
He’s not the loudest in the room—in fact, he rarely speaks unless he has something to say. But when he does, people listen. He's the one always lingering in the background, phone in hand, eyes scanning everything. He doesn’t post often, but when he does, it hits. His captions are cryptic, his stories unsettling, and his vibe? Unreadable. No one knows how he got into the circle—he just appeared one day, like he’d always been there. He doesn’t start drama, but he documents it. He knows things, sees things, and has files full of receipts no one wants leaked. People are scared of what he knows but need him too much to cut him off. If secrets are currency, He's the richest of them all.
The Prince – "the fallen angel"
open
He was born into power—heir to a corporate empire, raised in boardrooms and gala dinners. He doesn’t need influencer fame; he craves it. His chaotic charm and outrageous stunts have made him a viral sensation, though many dismiss him as a clueless rich boy. That’s exactly how he likes it. In reality, he’s observant, manipulative, and way more aware than anyone thinks. Everyone talks freely around him, thinking he’s too shallow to understand.He gets closer to people than they realize, especially one certain person, the deceased's bestfriend, who makes his perfectly curated world feel a little too real sometimes. But lately, something’s shifted. Anonymous messages, strange photos, cryptic threats—he brushes them off with jokes, but his carefree exterior is cracking. Because deep down, he knows someone is targeting him—and maybe it’s someone from his own circle.

rp guidelines...
Hello everyone! welcome to the chaos!!!

okay so real talk—this is my first time EVER hosting & making a group rp ( everyone pls be nice SSKNSJIN(╥﹏╥)), and I’m lowkey very nervous but also super excited!!!!! I saw a lot of AMAZING group rps on here especially recently, so I decided to finally try it out and do my first group ever (please help me everyone and bear with me this is literally my first time and im already shitting my pants KSKANAKAN). I'll set up an OOC thread here for now, but I'll be creating a Discord server soon where we'll have all the lore for the plot and can brainstorm even more,etc...!!!

Note: This plot is inspired by the kdrama ‘Celebrity’ so expect drama, fake friends, secrets, lies, and killer aesthetics. i really really hope you all like it and enjoy playing it out with me!!< 3

themes
•Influencer/fame culture – curated feeds, brand deals, and the obsession with being seen.

•Social media toxicity – likes, lies, and filters hiding full-blown wars.

•Morality + manipulation – doing the wrong thing for the right reason… or just doing the wrong thing.

•Revenge – petty or personal, someone’s always out for blood (or followers).

•Who’s the real villain? – everyone’s shady. some just hide it better.

•Found family... or found enemies? – fake friends, real secrets. who has your back—and who’s holding the knife?

and maybeee some chaotic romance if the drama allows.

applications


- okay so only 6 roles are open for now — just to keep things manageable since it’s my first group roleplay. If this goes well and there’s interest, I’ll 100% add more roles later!

-This is a literate to advanced literate roleplay, so multi-paragraph replies are preferred—no one-liners or single paragraphs, please! That said, you don’t need to write 5+ paras every time—just give enough to keep the scene moving. Quality over quantity always, and I totally get that writer’s block happens, so no pressure to overdo it!!

-Faceclaims are preferred to be realistic (preferably K-celebrities for the vibes) and of age!

-You can apply for any open role, and please inform me if you lose interest or will be busy so we can keep the story moving!!♡

-I’ll reach out via DM to let you know if you’ve been accepted. Please don’t take it personally if you’re not chosen—I’m just trying to make sure the vibes are cohesive and the story flows well.

rules


-Please no godmodding, or controlling other characters without permission.

-Activity is important—please check in regularly! If you need a break, just lmk. Life > roleplay always!!

-be open to collaboration! Text roleplay partners, plot, create juicy tension. The more tangled your character’s web, the better!!!!

- and last thing — HAVE FUN PLS!!! ik this plot is super messy and drama-filled but don’t let that kill the vibe!! i rlly hope u guys end up loving it and that we get to cook up something so juicy and chaotic together. also like... not gonna lie i'm lowkey terrified no one will be interested so pls prove me wrong AJSKSK!!

quick note: the rp isn’t starting just yet since i’m actually busy with still finishing up college + finals are coming in hot (rip me fr). i’m posting this now mostly to see who’s interested and gauge interest!! i’ll keep it open ‘til the end of the month when i (hopefully) escape academic prison. cs thread is on the way real soon too, and it’ll probs stay open until the end of the month—or maybe even wrap earlier if things go smooth!
