00:00Hey friends, I'm January from Seoul, and I'm a huge K-pop fan.
00:04I mean, who isn't? But I'm a super fan.
00:07Now, before I tell you my story, please like and subscribe.
00:10My parents were super cool lawyers, but they weren't the coolest parents.
00:14They were so overprotective about me, just because I was born premature.
00:18Like, I was fine now. Get over it. But no.
00:21No bicycle. It's the most dangerous ride.
00:23No dancing in the rain. You'll catch a cold.
00:26No, stay away from that puppy. It's full of germs and dirt.
00:29Sleepover? No, never. What if you get kidnapped or something?
00:33Ugh. I nicknamed them Mr. No and Mrs. Never.
00:37Growing up, K-pop was my only escape.
00:39I was crazy about K-pop bands.
00:41To Anyone, Girls' Generation, Big Bang.
00:44And then Dream was launched.
00:46As soon as I heard their first song, I was obsessed.
00:49And it was because of Dream I found my best friend.
00:52It all happened when I ended up wearing the same t-shirt as a guy on my first day in 8th grade.
00:57Whoa. I guess great minds really do think alike.
01:00Hello, Dreamer.
01:01Greetings, my twin.
01:03Ashton and I instantly bonded.
01:05We even built a fan page for Dream, which exploded faster than a popcorn kernel in a microwave,
01:10pulling in thousands of fans.
01:12One time in our senior year, some bullies started making fun of the K-pop posters on our lockers.
01:17Are you two still in middle school, obsessing over K-pop groups?
01:22You both are so lame, says the guy who cried in gym last week because his girlfriend was ignoring him.
01:28You little, I told you to keep your mouth shut.
01:31Now look what you made me do.
01:32With that, the bully ripped down the posters and I lost it.
01:36I tackled him to the ground and pulled his hair hard.
01:39Right then, the gym teacher saw us and took us to the principal and I got suspended.
01:43My parents were serious and blamed my obsession with Dream for it.
01:48You're not allowed to listen to the band songs anymore.
01:50The lead singer, Tanya, she's a bad role model for kids.
01:53Just last week, I saw in the news how she slapped one of her bandmates during a concert.
01:58What does that have to do with me being suspended?
02:00You get so crazy over these K-pop bands.
02:03We've decided that after your behavior, we can't allow you to go to the Dream concert happening this weekend.
02:08We weren't too keen to send you in such a crazy crowd anyway.
02:11You're grounded.
02:12And then, Mom tore up my concert tickets.
02:15No, no, no.
02:16Oh my God, what did you do?
02:18I hate you both.
02:19I stormed off to my room, my blood boiling.
02:22I called Ashton and told him everything and he promised to find a way for us to attend.
02:26On the night of the concert, just when I'd lost all hope, Ashton came to my room through the window with tickets in his hand.
02:33OMG, how did you manage to get them last minute?
02:36They must have cost a lot.
02:37Don't tell me you took the money from that hickey bank, the one you started back in kindergarten?
02:41Desperate times call for desperate measures.
02:43Plus, it's totally worth it.
02:44I got us special meet and greet tickets too.
02:47I'm so excited.
02:48Me too.
02:49My heart raced as we sneaked out and ran to the venue.
02:51But at the concert, the band's performance seemed really off.
02:55They weren't harmonizing and even kept bumping into each other.
02:58And then suddenly, Tanya smashed her guitar on stage and her bandmates looked really frustrated.
03:04She can be such a drama queen.
03:06Hey, you know I endure, Tanya, but that's the truth.
03:09After the concert, Ashton and I went for the meet and greet, but it turned out the band had canceled it.
03:14And suddenly, the fans got angry and went wild.
03:17They started running backstage demanding to see the band members they had paid to meet.
03:22Chaos erupted and fans, including Ashton, were grabbed by the guards.
03:27I ran and sneaked into a nearby van and hid under the seat.
03:30If they caught me and made me call my parents, it would be catastrophic.
03:34Moments later, the van door swung open, revealing a fuming Tanya.
03:38Ugh, this show is a mess.
03:39The bands turned against me.
03:40Ugh, they were so rude.
03:42As Tanya was climbing into the back of the van, I began to creep out from under the seat to escape.
03:46But Tanya saw me.
03:47Aha!
03:48Caught you.
03:49I'm calling security.
03:50No, please.
03:50Look, I was part of the fans lined up for the meet and greet before things got crazy.
03:54I didn't want to cancel that.
03:56The band messed up.
03:56Ugh, it's okay.
03:58I gotta go.
03:59No, nothing is okay.
04:01You know how tiring my life is?
04:03I'm exhausted with all these contracts, producers, and shows.
04:06I have no friends, my bandmates hate me, and now probably my fans too.
04:11I just need a break.
04:12But I can't even have that because the paparazzi are always on my butt.
04:16Hey, you're Tanya, a superstar.
04:19Ignore the haters and take that break.
04:21Run away for a while.
04:22Like it's that easy.
04:24But maybe I could run away.
04:25Hey, how about with you?
04:27Oh, no.
04:28That's not what I meant.
04:29That's a terrible idea.
04:30You stay right here.
04:31Bye.
04:32I rushed home before my parents noticed I was gone.
04:35I sent Ashton a text to let him know, crawled into my room through the window, and jumped
04:39into bed.
04:39But moments later, Tanya came in through the window too.
04:42You followed me?
04:44Why?
04:45I have nowhere else to go.
04:46Let me stay.
04:47Please.
04:48Just then, mom knocked on my door.
04:50I pushed Tanya into my messy closet and opened the door.
04:52January, I heard something.
04:54Achoo!
04:55You probably just heard me sneezing.
04:57Now, goodnight.
04:58Why are your clothes lying on the floor outside your cupboard?
05:01And how many times should I tell you to separate your underwear and keep them in the drawer?
05:05And why are you sleeping in the shirt I got you on your birthday?
05:08Gosh, your room smells like stinky socks.
05:12Mom, please?
05:13Can you get off my back for once?
05:14I know you're upset because we didn't let you go to the concert, but that's no way to
05:18talk to...
05:18Good.
05:19I really don't want to talk right now.
05:21Goodnight!
05:22Once mom left, Tanya jumped out of the wardrobe.
05:24OMG.
05:25Seriously?
05:26Your mom is so annoying.
05:28She reminds me of my nag-nag manager.
05:30That's kinda rude.
05:32No.
05:32What's rude is that no one lets us have any freedom.
05:35We should have our fun without anyone breathing down our necks.
05:39Uh, yeah.
05:40I guess you're right.
05:41Let's talk tomorrow.
05:42I need my beauty sleep.
05:44Saying that, she took the bed and made me sleep on the couch.
05:47The next morning, news of Tanya's disappearance was making headlines everywhere, and the police
05:52were on the lookout for her all over the city.
05:54Did you see this?
05:55Yeah.
05:55I love it.
05:56Fans and bandmates are worried sick.
05:59Tell everyone you're alright.
06:00Nah.
06:01People don't appreciate what they have till they lose it.
06:03Let everyone miss me a bit longer.
06:05Now, let's go out and have some fun.
06:06Of course, you'll have to arrange a disguise for me.
06:09But I have school.
06:10Skip it.
06:11Well, I did have a K-pop star asking me to spend a day with her.
06:15So yeah, I skipped school, made sure Tanya was unrecognizable, and then we went to the
06:20mall.
06:21While we were window shopping, we passed by a kid who was about to eat his ice cream,
06:24and Tanya stopped short.
06:26I want that.
06:26Okay, I can buy you some.
06:28No, no, no, no.
06:29I want that.
06:30His ice cream.
06:31It's the perfect ratio of chocolate to vanilla with my favorite toppings and sprinkles.
06:35Now here, boy, give me it.
06:37I'm Tanya, the superstar.
06:38The boy refused to part with his ice cream and started yelling.
06:42Then Tanya knocked it out of his hand to the ground, grabbed me, and told me to run.
06:46What the heck was that?
06:48And are you trying to get attention by telling people who you are?
06:51Who would believe some stupid kid?
06:52Come on.
06:53Let's check out some makeup.
06:54At Sephora, a sales girl was a bit rude to me.
06:57So Tanya messed up the arrangement of all the products on the shelves while the sales
07:01girl wasn't looking, then casually walked out.
07:04We both snickered as we saw her from outside, looking angry and confused at the mess.
07:08As we walked past the shoe store, I spotted these shoes I'd been eyeing for ages.
07:13You like those?
07:13Yeah.
07:14Mom won't get them for me because they're too expensive.
07:17Let's try them on.
07:18I tried on the shoes, and they fit perfectly.
07:20They look amazing on you.
07:22You're taking them.
07:23Come on.
07:24The salesmen are busy.
07:25Just walk out casually and confidently.
07:27But no buts.
07:28Even though I felt super scared, Tanya convinced me to walk out of the store with them.
07:32I didn't realize I'd been holding my breath till we were on the other end of the mall.
07:36This is so wrong.
07:37Tanya, you're crazy.
07:39But I'm fun, right?
07:40I can't believe I'm saying this.
07:41But yeah, you're really fun too.
07:43This was quite a thrill.
07:45The next day, Tanya made me skip school again, and this time, I had a genius idea.
07:50I blindfolded Ashton and brought him to my room, and he nearly fell back in shock when
07:54he saw Tanya.
07:55Ashton!
07:56Say something!
07:57Uh, I'm just trying to work out why Tanya, like, Tanya Tanya, is here with you.
08:03Someone pinch me.
08:04Or punch me.
08:04I must be hallucinating.
08:06Is he your boyfriend?
08:07He's such a weirdo.
08:08For the next few days, Ashton was like a lovestruck puppy with Tanya.
08:12She seemed annoyed by him at first, but soon, she seemed to be enjoying his endless compliments
08:17and warmed up to him.
08:18And together, the three of us had the best week.
08:21But then, my parents got a letter from school about my week-long absence.
08:25What is this?
08:26Where have you been going, January?
08:27Are you in some kind of trouble?
08:29Mixing with the wrong kind of crowd?
08:30Are you on drugs?
08:31You guys are always expecting the worst from me.
08:34I feel like I'm trapped with you both.
08:36Just let me live my life!
08:37I ran to my room and closed the door, and Tanya and Ashton were already there through
08:41the window.
08:42As I cried, Ashton hugged me tight.
08:44I know they can be harsh, but they're probably just worried.
08:47Worried?
08:47Are you kidding me?
08:48They're just control freaks.
08:50Some people just love to boss around others.
08:53No, they care about her.
08:54She's right.
08:55It seems like their only goal is to control my life.
08:59And if you want to defend them, Ashton, I don't want to hear it.
09:01You're supposed to be 100% on my side.
09:04Of course I am, but...
09:05Just go, please.
09:07After Ashton left, Tanya listened sympathetically as it let out all my frustrations.
09:12Then, we both decided to forget all about being good girls.
09:15I was almost 18.
09:16It was time to act my age.
09:18The next day, my folks dropped me off at school, clueless about my plan.
09:22I ditched classes and hid the local tattoo parlor with Tanya.
09:25But once we got there, I felt scared.
09:27It looks painful.
09:28Oh, come on.
09:29Nothing screams, I don't care, more than a tattoo.
09:31I'm not sure about this.
09:33Scary cat.
09:34Fine.
09:34How about a piercing then?
09:35I thought I was getting my ears pierced, but Tanya dared me to get a belly button piercing.
09:40I didn't want her to brand me a coward again.
09:42So, I agreed.
09:43To my surprise, I kinda loved it.
09:45That's my girl.
09:46Taking control of your life?
09:48Hell yeah!
09:48Tanya kept extending her stay, and I was happy about it.
09:51We were having a blast together, and I really wished Ashton was still hanging out with us.
09:56But he never replied to any of my texts and even blocked me on social media.
10:00One day, as Tanya and I were out at the mall, she went to the bathroom.
10:03I was sitting alone when I heard a familiar voice.
10:06Can I sit here?
10:06What do you want?
10:07I've really missed you these past few days.
10:09Have you?
10:09You didn't try to call me or message me, and even blocked me on social media.
10:13So petty.
10:14What?
10:14I got messages from you to stay away.
10:17I was so shocked when Ashton showed me those texts, but I'd never sent them.
10:21And guess what?
10:21It turned out Ashton's number on social media was blocked from my side, but I was 100% sure
10:26I never did that either.
10:28How is this possible?
10:29Isn't it obvious?
10:30It's Tanya.
10:31She's playing some sick games.
10:33I could never stop being your friend.
10:35And Tanya keeps saying your parents are controlling, but she's been manipulating you herself all
10:39along.
10:40Just then, Tanya appeared, looking furious.
10:43Don't listen to him, January.
10:44He's lying.
10:45Why would he lie?
10:46Oh, please.
10:47He's crazy.
10:48Can't you see how he looks at you?
10:49He's like some psycho lover completely obsessed with you.
10:53He even admitted it to me, and I had to tell him that you're not interested,
10:57which totally pissed him off.
10:59I saved you from that jerk.
11:00Trust me.
11:01You don't need him keeping you down and suffocating you with his possessiveness.
11:05I turned to Ashton, totally horrified.
11:08Ashton, you really have feelings for me?
11:10That's the truth.
11:11My heart belongs to you, January, and I can't stand anyone getting close to you.
11:15You're like a drug to me.
11:19Okay, okay.
11:20I can't do this.
11:22This is ridiculous.
11:23Huh?
11:24What's so ridiculous?
11:25Look, Tanya, I'm a big fan.
11:26But Ashton being obsessed with me is stupid.
11:29I know my BFF inside out, and you tried to come between us.
11:33You are no longer welcome in my house, so please leave today.
11:37And I hope your band members do kick you out, because really, you are not a very nice person.
11:42Tanya stared at us, screamed in frustration, and stormed off.
11:46Ashton and I just high-fived and hugged.
11:48We walked back home, but there, we were in for a surprise.
11:52There were cops everywhere.
11:53January, Ashton, you're under arrest for kidnapping Tanya.
11:57What the what?
11:58My parents weren't home, and Ashton had no choice but to let ourselves be taken away in the police car.
12:03Oh gosh, they were gonna kill me when they found out everything.
12:06I was ready for the shouting of a lifetime when mom and dad reached the station, but they turned angrily to the police instead.
12:12How dare you arrest our daughter and her friend?
12:14Seriously?
12:15You have them behind bars without evidence?
12:18My parents were pretty good at being lawyers, and in no time, we were out of there.
12:22I told my parents everything, and they both hugged me.
12:25Mom?
12:25Dad?
12:26I should have come to you and told you Tanya was hiding out in my room.
12:29No, I think this is our fault.
12:31We've always been so strict with you, you probably didn't feel comfortable coming to us and talking about it.
12:36But we promise you, from now on, we won't be so strict.
12:39We will let you learn from your own experiences.
12:42It's how you become a better judge of character, too.
12:44And no matter what, we'll always have your back.
12:46The next day, there was a media frenzy outside my house.
12:50Turns out, Tanya had given an interview to TMZ about how she was kidnapped by psycho fans, and now the public wanted a piece of us.
12:57I knew I just had to confront that two-faced diva once.
13:00A couple of days later, Ashton and I found out from Tanya's Instagram stories that she was at a salon getting a manicure.
13:06So we rushed there and surrounded her.
13:08I treated you like a friend, gave you a place to stay, and this is how you repay me?
13:12By telling everyone I kidnapped you?
13:14Why would you lie, Tanya?
13:16Why do you think so?
13:17I needed to be the center of attention.
13:19Sweetie, no publicity is bad publicity.
13:21I'm all over the news these days.
13:23I have public sympathy because I was the victim of a fan kidnapping.
13:27Plus, it was awesome manipulating you.
13:30It took my mind off of other things.
13:31Like, you were literally a puppet in my hand.
13:34Anyway, now my stupid bandmates wouldn't dare kick me out either, since I've already gone through so much.
13:41Go away now and let me enjoy my manicure in peace.
13:44I'll make you pay, Tanya.
13:45Yeah, like people will believe you over me.
13:48Don't embarrass yourself, January.
13:49Just leave, or I'll spin some other lie and get you both arrested for good.
13:53Right then, Ashton and I started giggling, and he showed her his phone.
13:57Oh yeah, say hi to your fans, Tanya.
13:58We've been live for quite some time, on your fan page.
14:02Just like that, everything was over for Tanya.
14:04Once the media found out the truth, she got kicked out of the band, and her fans turned against her.
14:09Next, she was canceled on Twitter.
14:11Then, my parents sued her for defamation, and won the case too.
14:14The brat deserved it.
14:16Dream found an amazing new lead singer, and Ashton and I are still diehard fans.
14:21Don't let anyone manipulate you.
14:23Be your own boss.
14:24Be your only one.
14:28Be your only partner.
14:28Be your only partner.
14:30There you go.
14:31Be on the lookout.
14:32Be your only one.
14:33Be your only partner.
14:34Be your only partner.
14:35Be your only partner.
14:36Be your only partner.
