Sandra 158—Park—scrolled through her comments, biting her lip. She’d debuted only eight weeks ago, but her trajectory was volcanic. She’d been cast as “the wildcard”: neon hair, impulsive laughs, a viral moment where she’d cried on stream after losing a video game. Authenticity, the producers called it.
