[Showbiz] The Eighth Member

Cui Shien has tens of millions of fans and is a god capable of sweeping the music scene. But just before his debut, he gave up being a singer, his actual profession, and became a rapper instead. A breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry, he draws portraits for fans at signing events? Only appears on other people's livestreams? A sasaeng idol who hangs around fan circles? A big shot outside the group, but bullied by his own members?

Literary blurb: For someone who has spent years in darkness, that first ray of light to appear in his life is everything. Since his life is already a complete mess, what does he have to fear? He might as well risk it all. What does it matter if he loses? He'll just return to the darkness. But if he wins, he'll have a brand-new life.

Reporter: "You seem to have a really close relationship with the other members. So, what does BTS mean to you?"

Cui Shien: "...I guess... it's my life and my salvation..."

(The author is terrible at writing blurbs.)

Theme: Friendship and family ties may be bonds deeper than love, and they can also be a form of salvation.
