Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols

An Office Worker’s Idol Debut Ordeal Kim Iwol, a fifth-year employee at Hanpyeong Industries and a devoted fan of his manager’s daughter’s favorite idol group for just as long, has been “working overtime without pay” on fan activities day after day. One night, while grinding through yet another unpaid fan shift, he collapses after hearing the devastating news of the group’s disbandment. When he opens his eyes, he’s back to his 20-year-old self, without the dark circles under his eyes. He’s given one condition to undo his sister’s death which is to debut as a member of his cherished idol group SPARK. But if he fails? He’ll be forced back into Hanpyeong Industries with no chance of changing jobs, a nightmare clause attached to the deal. Armed with the grit and shameless survival skills he honed through fan work, HR duties, and every odd job under the sun, he vows to just debut, then quit!
