A Goodreads user asked Kat Cho:

Are you going to base the K-pop star in your upcoming book Once upon a k-prom off of an actual k-pop star and if so which one?

Kat Cho Not off of a specific K-pop star, but he definitely has characteristics of some of my personal favorites like GD, BTS Suga, BtoB Sungjae, and Shinee Taemin. His visuals would lean more cute boyish like BTS Jungkook or actor Lee Wongeun. The group as a whole is also just a mix of all my favorite groups and K-pop stars mushed together to create unique individuals (but if I had to name my biggest visual and personality inspirations it would be Big Bang, Shinee, Exo, and BTS)
