Emma Cho

Emma Cho, an accountant by day and a writer by night, spends her day dreaming about the “What if’s”. If fangirling over K-pop idols, especially BTS, was a profession, she would have found her dream job. For a time period she made do with writing fanfiction and now the time had come for her to turn her dream job into a reality. After a drunken epiphany, she finally decided to release her stories to the world through The Bombay Circle Press. When Emma isn’t fangirling or filing taxes, you will find her creating worlds of romance, thriller and mystery. She is always trying very hard to meet another deadline and not get another vaguely threatening email from her editor, while being on top of her social media game and tallying yet another balance sheet. Keep up with her shenanigans on Twitter.

Famous In Love

Dating a K-pop idol is a sweet kind of chaos — all glitter, secrecy, and missed flights wrapped in late-night confessions.

 

It means loving someone whose life belongs to schedules and spotlights, where dates happen backstage, kisses are stolen between performances, and privacy is a luxury. Yet behind the perfect smiles are people who hoard snacks, make impulsive confessions, and fall in love just as messily as anyone else.

 

In Famous in Love, secret dressing-room romances, loophole proposals, and chaotic meet-cutes unfold across the industry—from idols hiding relationships from managers to long-distance fiancés navigating exhaustion, fame, and longing. Some love stories begin with shared fandom obsessions, others with midnight convenience-store encounters, but all are shaped by one truth: love in the spotlight is fragile, funny, and fiercely protected. 

 

Because loving a K-pop idol isn’t just about glamour.

 

It’s about choosing each other through distance, scandal, and silence — again and again, until the stage lights fade and what remains is simply love.

When The Peperos Align

Falling in love one Pepero stick at a time.

 

 

When K-pop rookie Choi Do-hyun (Hyde) of Cosmo goes up to his company’s rooftop to catch a break, he ends up catching feelings and vows to do all that he can to keep JADE’s Lee Hae-won (Wonwon) from crying.

 

 

So, now his to-do list looks something like this:
• Make a petition to save Golden Monkeys
• Buy Hae-won Peperos
• Ask Hae-won out on a date
• Panic about not knowing where to take her on a date


But being a K-pop idol doesn’t come without its challenges, especially if you’re a rookie trying to keep your young love a secret with a dating ban. So will the peperos align to bring together two K-pop idols?

 

 

Emma Cho’s When the Peperos Align is a story about fighting for your love with sprinkles of humour and struggles of being an idol. Perfect for the fans of Shooting Stars, The Idea of You and Imitation.

 

 

Love is sometimes written by stacking together Peperos.
