Description

Seo Hoyoon, the genius producer of a popular idol survival show, is infamous for his sharp tongue and coldheartedness. Cursed by a trainee for it, he wakes up as a member of a flop idol group called "The Dawn." To avoid being stuck in this parallel world forever, Hoyoon must make his group top-tier... but with the competitive industry and challenging tasks, it won't be easy. With his wits, know-how, and a little help from those around him, will this producer-turned-idol make it big? (Source: Tapas)

Fun MC with a rotten personality

MC has a rotten personality, which makes him fun to follow around. Being a previous producer, he understands the dirty of the idol world and how that actually affects success, and then plays on it to his advantage when others think their group will fail. The overarching plot is very straightforward, but the MC’s wits and shamelessness stands out in the sea of idol protagonists that usually defaults to either cool or vanilla. Def recommended. A solid 8.5/10 for me.
