In the beutiful streets of Seoul, Korea on a beutiful night there was So Jibeom, he was returning from a kpop concert after seeing his favorite boy group ReJoy in action. He admired everything from the way they sung to their dancing and rapping, in his eyes they were perfect. He saw them as an escape from his reality as a 19 year old, about average looks working part time with no friends or family to keep him company. His black hair laid in his eyes as he started to daydream of what he should eat tonight as his life doesn't have much excitement. He was dreaming of katsu curry until he sees a little boy walking with his friend and a speeding car going toward the boy with too much force to stop. Jibeom immediately saw time stop for a moment as he ran in without thinking of the consequences. He thought "This is really the end huh? I just wanted some curry and now I'm about to die with out making something out of myself. I guess it won't really matter if I'm dead, I hope the kid is okay atleast." Suddenly Jibeom felt himself floating as he exited his body and looked down and saw he could see his dead body sitting there. Everything suddenly faded to black as now all that appeared was a video game like window.

Jibeom wakes up in his house and he remembered nothing other than seeing his body. "Where am I!? What time is it! What day?!" He looked at his phone and saw that the date said 2024 instead of 2025 and he looked around confused and distraught. He looked at the mirror and saw his 18 year old self back when he was more handsome and didn't have as many eyebags and wasn't as pale. He looked at his ReJoy poster and started to freak out a little bit as he didn't know what was happening. The light from his window peeped in as he slowly calmed down, until suddenly a window popped in front of Jibeom that said
[Welcome user So Jibeom to Idol Second Try!]
Jibeom was in disbelief as he looked at what was in front of him. His older sister, So Jia, was the one that got him into ReJoy read a lot of these type of manhwas and light novels that always had a story like this and he couldn't believe it as suddenly a little white light appeared next to him and started speaking "Hello user Jibeom, I am Navi and I will lead you on your quest to Kpop mega stardom and you will be able to live how your idols do." All Jibeom could do was yell " What the fuuuu——."
