After a night of drinking, aspiring civil servant Ryu Geonwu passes out, only to awaken three years in the past in the body of a young man named Park Moondae. Before he can even assess the situation, he's given a mission: Debut or Die! Now, Moondae has one year to debut as an idol or face his doom. Luckily, he's able to snag a spot on the famous survival program "Idol Inc.," but with his skills so low and the competition so high, does Moondae stand a chance at becoming a shining star?

Note:
•Idol Inc is the official Idol Program role play account in the story. Teng (텡) is the Illustrator for the novel the webtoon is based on.
•Some of the tags are based on the novel and are put before the manhwa reaches them to warn upcoming readers.
