The center of an obscure boy band is actually a death god. He never understood why a group with his looks and talent could be this unpopular!
Was it because the group's vocal, a spirit guide, sent people straight to hell whenever he opened his mouth to sing? Was it because the dance member moved like a shaman performing a ritual? Or was it because the group's hard-to-understand rapper was an alien species, a fallen angel?
Hah. It definitely wasn't because he was so brutal that every show used him as a warning about dangerous behavior, then edited out all his footage!
At last, the death god got a show that suited him: a wildly popular survival variety show.
He finally hit it big and brought the whole obscure group along with him.
But it wasn't because he leaped off cliffs, landed on knife tips, and flew through the air with such gusto that he was showered with praise.
It was only because the audience shipped him with the center of a rival boy band.
In truth, the death god hated him most of all, because that center was a demon who was always stealing souls from them and getting in the way of their work.
How annoying. He was always the one-sidedly keeping his distance and shutting the other guy out.
Audience: "Aaaah! He hasn't dared look at him the whole time! He looked away! He must be shy! Aaaah, he loves him so much! Sob, sisters, I'm shipping them so hard! This is love!"
Death god: There must be something fishy going on here that I don't understand. Damn it, that cunning demon must be behind this. The death god glared fiercely at the demon, convinced that his schemes were unfathomable.

Theme: No matter the circumstances, stay true to yourself and keep striving forward.
