From Debt Collector to K-Pop’s White Moonlight

In 2014, the Korean entertainment industry is in turmoil—top idols are leaving groups, visual legends are battling depression, and the internet is a storm of hate. A thirty-something soul awakens inside the body of a twenty-two-year-old nugu idol. Bai Shiwen decides to live differently. To prepare for his role as a lowlife scumbag in an indie film, he puts on floral shorts and flip-flops and goes to collect high-interest debts as a way to study the character. But instead of finding thugs and deadbeats, he unexpectedly knocks on the doors of some of Korea’s most famous female stars—and becomes the one person who understands them when no one else does.
