Become a K-pop star for a day

Next to a Shanghai mall gym, K-pop fans sign imaginary autographs, dance choreographed routines, and adjust their microphone headsets — all part of the fantasy at Chen Go, a K-pop-inspired "idol experience center" where ordinary people can live like their favorite stars, if only for a day.

Opened last year by entrepreneur and K-pop fan Chen Rong, the center draws about 40 customers daily.

Guests can choose from more than 200 outfits — some imported from South Korea, others custom-made — and step into carefully designed sets designed to resemble backstage dressing rooms and backdrops of popular South Korean music programs.

The concept is a hit with customers, excited to live out their childhood dreams.
