Debut or Die!

Ryu Gunwoo was an ordinary aspiring civil servant until a single night of heavy drinking upended his entire existence. Losing consciousness after the binge, he awakens to an impossible reality: three years have been erased from the timeline, and he now inhabits the body of a young man named Park Moondae. Before he can even process this bewildering shift in identity, a dire ultimatum is thrust upon him. He is bound by a merciless directive—debut as a pop idol within one year or face certain death. With his survival hanging in the balance, Moondae scrambles to find a path to stardom despite possessing virtually no musical talent or performance experience. Fortune offers a narrow lifeline when he manages to secure a coveted spot on "Idol Inc.", a widely renowned televised survival competition designed to forge the next generation of idols. However, the arena is unforgiving. Surrounded by exceptionally gifted trainees and burdened by abysmal baseline skills, Moondae must navigate intense rivalries and grueling evaluations. Against staggering odds, he is forced to transform himself into a shining star before the clock runs out.
