If I Don't Get Famous, I Can't Go Home [Showbiz]

The main story is complete. Extra chapters will be updated from time to time.

Shen Weilai is an alien who accidentally got stranded on Earth.

The System tells him that if he wants to go home, he must replenish the energy he has used up.

To make it back, Shen Weilai becomes a trainee at a small company, eventually debuting as one of the eight members of a boy group.

There's a saying that's been around the entertainment industry for ages: If you don't make it big, you'll have to go home and inherit the family business.

But Shen Weilai is different. The System tells him that fame can be converted into energy.

In other words, the more famous he gets, the more energy he collects, and the sooner he can go home.

System: Keep it up, Host! Once you're famous, you can go home!

Shen Weilai: Okay!

Later...

System: Host, you're famous all over the world now! You can go home!

Shen Weilai: ?? No. Nobody's making me leave!

The story goes premium tomorrow, Tuesday! Three chapters will be released that day!

As a hardcore internet surfer, XXX knows that fans don't just ship members of the group, they also write fanfiction about them.

But knowing about it doesn't mean he's interested! So why did he wake up inside a fanfic?

XXX: Oh, you want to know how I found out? Because I read this fanfic aloud just three days ago. In front of my seven teammates, and at full volume.

Here's what happened: I made a bet with my best friend, and whoever lost had to read a fanfic in front of everyone.

I only meant to embarrass my cocky, obnoxious best friend. I was the one who came up with the punishment, but I never expected to set myself up like this.

But wasn't this fanfic supposed to be about their careers? Why has it turned into a battle for my affection? And why is everyone after me?

Can you all get a grip? My teammates and I are just brothers in socialism!

Besides, how could Min Yoongi possibly be curled up obediently in my arms, acting all sweet? Is he crazy?

This is so out of character! There's got to be some basic rules for writing fanfiction!

Coming soon: I Never Expected the Big Brother to Be Like This

The eldest members of Bangtan are a fascinating pair.

The first impressions fans have of them: one is a melancholy young nobleman with broad shoulders and long legs, as wide as the Pacific, while the other is a petite little prince with dimples when he smiles.

But once fans get to know them, they realize that the nobleman and the little prince are both just an act.

One loves telling dad jokes and laughs with a “keh keh keh.”

The other laughs at the drop of a hat and loves his friend's jokes, cackling “eh eh eh.”

Every day, the dorm hosts a little skit about a goose frantically wiping a window.

One day, Kim Seokjin brought his best friend to Min Yoongi and told him a joke he'd just come up with.

Min Yoongi stared at the two older members doubled over laughing in front of him, feeling utterly hopeless. He thought: Keep it together, Min Yoongi! Don't do anything rash. They're your hyungs.

#Min, the real boss, gets bullied by his hyungs every day#

#If I kill you all, I'll be the eldest hyung#

[Reader's Guide]

1. An eight-member group setup.

2. An everyday slice-of-life story. Lots of fictional details; the timeline serves the plot.

3. Fanfiction will inevitably differ from reality. Detail sticklers, please be understanding.

4. The writing is amateurish, and there is out-of-character behavior. No need to tell me if you drop the story. Enjoy reading!

Theme: Young men striving to make their dreams come true.
