Synopsis

A Korean office worker's chaotic journey to idol stardom. Kim Iwol is a fifth-year employee at Hanpyeong Industries who has spent five years moonlighting as an unofficial fan manager for her boss's daughter's favorite K-pop group. One night, while pulling yet another unpaid overtime shift on fan duties, she collapses after learning the group is disbanding. She wakes up in her twenty-year-old body, free of dark circles — but with a mission attached: debut with the very group she managed, Spark, in exchange for undoing her sister's death. The terrifying catch? If she fails, she goes straight back to Hanpyeong with no option to ever quit. Armed with years of fan management experience, HR know-how, and sheer stubbornness, her plan is simple — debut, then bail.
