Carmen Hearts2Hearts' Struggle to Break Through K-Pop Dreams Despite Parental Restrictions

Kapanlagi.com - An interesting story comes from Carmen Hearts2Hearts, who is determined to become an idol despite initially being prohibited by her parents from going to South Korea. With strong determination, she managed to prove that dreams can be achieved even when going against the tide.

This was shared by her mother, Kadek Ayu Sri Handayani, who expressed her concerns when Carmen wanted to go to the land of ginseng. "At first, my husband and I did not allow Carmen to go to Korea. It's very far, Jakarta is enough. At that time, she was only 15 years old, still very young. As parents, of course, there is a sense of worry," said her mother as reported by detikBali.

However, Carmen did not give up easily. She secretly auditioned at SM Entertainment in 2022 without her parents' knowledge. Her courage and determination made her brave enough to take a big step despite facing risks.

1. Support that Grows Over Time

After receiving good news, Carmen tries to convince her parents that she is serious about her choice. Slowly, Ayu and her husband begin to understand their daughter's determination. Although initially hesitant, they eventually provide support from afar.

Being a trainee is not easy. Carmen has to undergo intensive training every day without any days off. "Every two days I chat with Carmen. I ask her, if you can't handle it, just come home. You can explore here too, because you are good at dancing, singing, and playing music. But she just says, 'Fine, it's okay'. If there are obstacles, she works hard," she said.

2. An Inspirational Story from Bali

Carmen's struggle is an inspiration to many, especially teenagers with big dreams. She proves that with hard work and perseverance, anything can be achieved even if it means going against parental restrictions.
