NOVEL WEB 
Jiho’s dream was simple — to become a K-pop idol and finally be seen for who he really was. But years of relentless bullying shattered that hope, leading him to a failed suicide attempt and a lonely life working a dead-end convenience store job. Scarred and exhausted, he barely survived day to day.
Then one night, everything changed.
Jiho wakes up in the body of Yunjae — a handsome, talented teen with loving but demanding parents who push him hard academically, draining his spirit. Yunjae’s past hides deep struggles: mental health battles, exhaustion, and a near-fatal overdose.
Despite having no real experience with singing or dancing, Jiho seizes this unexpected second chance. He auditions at a mid-size K-pop company and against all odds, he passes. Now begins the grueling journey of idol training.
With each challenge, Jiho fights to heal old wounds and build new strength. As he learns to trust himself and chase his dream again, he discovers that sometimes, the hardest battles lead to the brightest stages.
Can Jiho overcome his past and the pressure of his new life to finally shine as the idol he was always meant to be?
