Würdest du für die Liebe alles aufs Spiel setzen, wofür du jahrelang gekämpft hast? – Ein bittersüßer New-Adult-Roman über Glücksgefühle, Enttäuschungen und K-Pop Musik
Nach der Trennung seiner Band hat Sänger Jamie Hudson dem Musikbusiness abgeschworen. Deshalb sträubt er sich zunächst gegen die Idee seines Managers, einen Song mit der südkoreanischen K-Pop Band Get Over aufzunehmen. Denn die Koreaner verkörpern alles, was Jamie glaubt, verloren zu haben. Doch je näher er den Sänger Tae-joon kennenlernt, desto mehr bröckelt die Fassade des unnahbaren Musikers. Vor allem, als es zwischen ihm und Tae zu knistern beginnt, was nicht nur Jamies Leben gehörig auf den Kopf stellt. Denn auf einmal stehen beide vor der Frage, was wichtiger ist: ihre Karriere oder die Liebe.
»Das Buch wusste mich mit leisen Tönen und lauten Szenen gleichermaßen zu überzeugen. Besonders gut gefallen hat mir die Botschaft, dass man nicht Mann oder Frau liebt, sondern einen Menschen. Eine Botschaft, die für manche leichter im Alltag zu leben ist, als für andere – wie sich an Jamie und Tae-joon zeigt.« ((Leserstimme auf Netgalley))
Hauptpersonen
Tae-joon: Als Leadsänger einer der erfolgreichsten K-Pop Bands Südkoreas, fällt es mir nicht immer leicht im Rampenlicht zu stehen. Denn die Konkurrenz im Musikbusiness ist groß, und wer nicht hart trainiert, wird es nie an die Spitze schaffen. Ich habe es geschafft. Mit meinen Freunden stehe ich als Mitglied von „Get Over“ täglich auf der Bühne, gebe Interviews und präsentiere mich vor den Fans als der Mann, den sie gerne in mir sehen und den das Management aus mir gemacht hat. In all den Jahren habe ich vergessen, wie es ist, ich selbst zu sein. Bis ich Jamie getroffen habe. Er hat mir gezeigt, dass ich viel mehr bin als das strahlende Idol. Er hat den wahren „Tae“ gesehen und mir durch seine Zuneigung endlich die Augen geöffnet. Durch ihn habe ich gelernt zu mir zu stehen und meine Gefühle frei zu äußern. Denn wirklich „frei“ bin ich nur in seinen Armen.
Jamie Hudson: Musik ist mein Leben. Seit ich denken kann, habe ich die Wünsche meiner Eltern, ignoriert und dafür gekämpft Musik machen zu können. Dann die große Überraschung: eins meiner Youtubevideos ging dank meiner berühmten Eltern viral, ich wurde bei einem Label unter Vertrag genommen und schließlich Leadsänger von Like We Used. Ich liebe es auf der Bühne zu stehen, kann das Adrenalin alleine bei dem Gedanken an die Schreie der Fans durch meinen Körper tanzen spüren. Die Welt war mein Zuhause. Die Band mein Leben. Klingt wie eine spitzen Vita, oder? Der amerikanische Traum … Doch dann hab ich alles verloren …

Über die Autorinnen
Alex Parker, geboren 1992, ist in einem kleinen Dorf in der Nähe von Stuttgart aufgewachsen. Nachdem sie am Bodensee Literatur, Kunst und Medien studiert hat und dabei ihrer Kreativität freien lauf lassen konnte, arbeitet sie nun im Verlagswesen. Seit 2015 ihr erster Roman erschien, haben sie die Geschichten nie wieder losgelassen.
Katharina B. Gross lebt und studierte im Ruhrgebiet, weshalb viele ihrer Romane in Essen und Umgebung angesiedelt sind. Die Liebe zum Schreiben entdeckte sie bereits in der Grundschule, doch bis sie einen Roman zu Papier brachte, dauerte es mehrere Jahre. Seit der ersten Veröffentlichung in 2017 kann sie mit dem Schreiben nicht mehr aufhören.
2 Fragen an die Autorinnen
Katharina, warum gerade K-Pop in Verbindung mit Boys Love?
Seit einer ganzen Weile interessiere ich mich für das Thema Korea, K-Dramen und vor allem K-Pop Musik. Mich fasziniert die Musik sehr, und vor allem die Dynamik der Bandmitglieder und die Leidenschaft, die dahintersteht. Gerade die Thematik des Beziehungsverbots, die sehr aktuell im K-Pop Business herrscht, macht es reizvoll darüber zu schreiben. Außerdem ist das Subgenre Boys Love noch nicht so weit verbreitet, weshalb ich mich als Autorin gerade darauf spezialisiert habe. Ich liebe realistische und romantische Liebesgeschichten – und gerade queere Literatur verdient es gelesen und gesehen zu werden.
Anfang des Jahres warst du in Seoul, Alex. Ist es genau so, wie du es dir vorgestellt hast?
Schöner. Ganz ehrlich. Meine Erwartungen waren sehr hoch, doch ich wurde trotzdem überrascht. Natürlich kannte ich Seoul aus all den Dramen und Youtubevideos, die ich wie ein kleiner Schwamm aufsauge, dennoch ist das nichts dagegen, die Stadt und die Menschen in der Realität zu erleben. Die Kultur ist komplett anders bei uns. Obwohl Seoul eine große Metropole ist, war es dort irgendwie ruhiger. Beeindruckt hat mich neben der Landschaft, neben den Tempeln und neben der netten Menschen vor allem das Bewusstsein für Kultur. Beinahe jeden Tag gab es in der Stadt verschiedene Veranstaltungen, um den Menschen (egal ob Einheimischen oder Touristen) die Geschichte oder Kultur Koreas nahezubringen. So sind wir an einem Samstag zum Beispiel in eine traditionelle Hochzeit geplatzt oder haben mitten unter der Woche einen traditionellen Umzug miterlebt. Konnten sehen, wie früher Reis angebaut wurde oder saßen bei einem Picknickkonzert im Park.

When we announce a pre-order, we list all the contents based on the information, provided by the entertainment.
Due to the fact that this information is pretty early, there can be changes until the release.
Unfortunately, the entertainments do not inform us about these changes and in rare cases, the contents of the pre-order can differ from the original information.
Due to this fact, we have no influence on the contents of the sealed product and therefore we cannot provide anything, the entertainment did not include in the product.
Due to the production related processes at the entertainment, we don't have any way to verify the contents of the album, because we can't open the original packaging.
If there is something missing in your CD/DVD packaging, i.e. photocards/poster/booklets/etc, we can't provide you with a replacement.
Because the entertainments reserve the right to modify the album contents on short notice, we are unable to compensate for modified or removed contents.
