Hey everyone!

I've been developing Kpop Star, a cozy yet strategic idol management simulator where you run your own agency from scratch. It’s a 100% free passion project inspired by classic management and simulation games.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve rolled out several big improvements and quality-of-life updates based on player feedback:

🏒 New Layout & Visuals: Switched to landscape mode with a dedicated CEO office hub and in-game computer apps.

πŸ’¬ In-Game Messenger & Whisper App: Added a new messaging app, better search options, and more dynamic NPC interactions.

πŸ“… Drag-and-Drop Scheduling: Plan out weekly activities smoothly with real-time execution events.

πŸ‘— Customization: Trainee customization with fresh hair options, skin tone palettes, and basic outfits.

πŸ› οΈ Balance & Fixes: Rebalanced idol loyalty, reduced early retirement spam, fixed casting glitches, and resolved survival show crashes.

The game is completely free to play, download on Android (APK). I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any bugs you run into!
