    The entertainment industry is rife with dark and murky career paths. A chaebol heir is reborn as a cool and aloof K-pop idol. The story unfolds in a quirky forum format, using a simulator to guide him through various career paths within the entertainment industry. He's initially scouted by three talent agents, eventually debuting as the center of a boy band. He's a heartthrob with no romantic relationships and a strong work ethic. The simulator arrives, three talent agents vie for his services, and he unexpectedly joins a company, only to deliver a phenomenal performance that silences all the top stars and rival fanbases. In his past life, he was a chaebol heir; in this life, he's a sasaeng fan caught in a whirlwind of scandals. Faced with the trap of sasaeng fans and the complex network of connections left by his original body, Park Cheol-soo activates the simulator, turning the entire entertainment industry into his chessboard. On the MAMA stage, he transforms into a red-eyed vampire, achieving legendary status with a single dance; amidst the media storm, he leverages his strengths to turn the tide. From being universally ridiculed to becoming a top star, it only took him three months. When Gucci's invitations and top endorsements pour in, when BTS's seniors surprise him with a live stream, I, Park Cheol-soo, the divine visual of HYBE, arrive. They called me unworthy of my position, laughed at me for relying on my looks to get there, until the MAMA stage, when I licked the blood from my lips and one look drove the entire audience wild. The next day, the trending topics exploded. [Hot Post] Rational discussion: Did HYBE's Park Cheol-soo, who was suddenly thrust into the spotlight, get a script for a comeback? His stage presence is unparalleled, he switches between four languages fluently, his past controversies instantly become stepping stones, he gets top-tier resources like crazy, even top peers in the industry are showing him favor—is this guy a time traveler?
