She just wanted to be a quiet, unknown idol, but along the way, she was pampered by her male idols, doted on by her female idols, supported by her fans, and even favored by wealthy women. Even her company boss said, "If you can't become a global sensation, I'll quit and retire." Just like that, she was propelled to the position of a top-tier idol, a sensation across the internet with countless fans.

    The first book was alright so far. It's supposed to be an ensemble piece, but the main characters and others have relatively small screen time. The main character is a retired soldier, mature and stable, a brotherly type (caring towards his younger brother), has a PTSD (sickly) personality, is incredibly self-disciplined, and is a songwriter (the author chooses relatively niche songs, at least for me), and has no romantic pairing (currently, there really isn't one). The second book, which is still ongoing, is more of a romantic pairing, featuring the (main) leader and the youngest member, the (sub)producer and main dancer, the (big dog) lead vocalist and the (dog trainer) rapper. It has a bit of a talent show element, but mainly focuses on the daily life and work after forming the group. I read the third book a long time ago, so I don't remember it very well. But it was quite good, since I finished it. I think it was about someone who went to a talent show in a wheelchair, then stood up on stage and even danced. The fourth book is about a lazy kid who gets sent to a company as a trainee by his fangirl mom. Although it doesn't have a talent show element, it's still quite good. The main character is the main dancer, visual, group bully, youngest member, has a sleep deprivation, and is an ensemble piece (I guess). I finished that one too. The other books are either ongoing or completed, all with good ratings. I found them interesting and read parts of them. There are quite a few more on my bookshelf that I haven't uploaded yet (the ratings may vary, but they are all books that I found interesting, some completed, some ongoing, and some on hiatus. The general genres are girl group/boy group auditions, male-to-female transmigration, female-to-male transmigration, K-pop, and CP (couple) stories. You can look for them if you need them).

This is a parallel world story, plagiarized, and without a female lead. ② The protagonist starts as a trainee in South Korea, is bought by a domestic entertainment company, debuts as an individual trainee, participates in a debut program, and has a system that can enhance the protagonist's idol abilities. ③ The protagonist transmigrates to a parallel world, is scouted, enters the entertainment industry, becomes a trainee, has a system, and memories of a past life. This story combines plagiarism with system-enhanced abilities.
