Assistant Manager Kim Hates K-Pop Idols

김 대리는 아이돌이 싫어

Assistant Manager Kim Iwol has been working a regular office job for five years, and for those same five years, he has been doing "stand-in stanning" for his boss's daughter, supporting her favorite idol group Spark. One night, while pulling another overtime shift for Spark-related tasks, he collapses—and wakes up nine years in the past, given a second chance at life. However, this opportunity comes with a harsh condition: to prevent his sister's death, Iwol must debut as a member of Spark himself. Thrust into the idol lifestyle he never wanted, he must navigate fame, internal group dynamics, and his own unwilling emotions.
