It has been a long and difficult journey. Increasingly more and more Chinese students are going abroad to further their studies. Invariably they share similar experiences such as language barriers, homesickness and settling into a new culture.

They not only have to become accustomed to a foreign society, but also try to get recognized by those from different backgrounds and cultures as they pursue stardom.
Following similar paths, the three were selected from thousands of contestants by Japanese and South Korean entertainment companies .
