In a twist of fate, Jun Hao, a ruthless street thug known for his brute strength and sharp instincts, dies at the hand of the boss he served like a slave.

When he thought he would die, he saw a screen flash before his eyes—it was a system and a status window!

[System integrating: Become A Top Idol]

Jun Hao finds himself abruptly transported into the body of Choi Joon-ho, a timid trainee hoping to make it big in the cutthroat world of idols through "Rising Stars," a highly popular idol survival show.

In a world unfamiliar to him, where singing, dancing, and charisma reign supreme, Jun Hao must navigate the treacherous waters of an idol survival show or risk losing the life of his beloved younger sister. Collapse

    I like it but really... I'm so tired of the mc constantly having just the worst luck plus people constantly hating him for little to no reason at all. There's a degree of realism in that but this novel pushes it to another level. Like, two people just broke into a set on live television with millions watching
    its ludicrous. Now, he's

    The overall vibe is just that the mc will never have a good run... everytime he deals with one challenge another pops up. With people that dislike him to the point of sabotage for... little to no reason.
    The system threatens failure with lowering his stats which is always a bummer but its the norm at this point. His stat choices are okay for the most part although he refuses to spread them out like he really should be doing. Right now there's always a chance he has to perform a rap song and yet he stubbornly refuses to raise the stat. I think its still in the D range...
    If you can ignore all of that it's pretty enjoyable tho

      Thanks, hate this kind of plot with no time to breathe and it's just one ridiculous challenge after another. It's so f#cking suffocating, like real life isn't suffocating enough, give me a break.

    too many problems i can understand if they were idol related problems but no just random shit thrown the mc's way and he resolves them each time just to get into another problem, the system upgrades his skills whenever he solves a problem. It becomes too much at some point 6/10

    Even though i'm not into idol stuff i gave it a chance, because what could go wrong in an idol novel right? well, apparently a lot..
    mc always loses even though the author keeps writing people praising him to the heavens, mc will never focus on one stat at a time because that would kill the part where people look down on him, gotta spread his points as much as possible so he's terrible on every aspect except singing, the revenge plot is a dumpsterfire.

    PLEASE READ ITTT
    I love this novel the most not only does the song lyrics are actually good but it made me cry so many times and as a person who is struggling in life in so many ways I feel happy and relieved to know that the characters found a way to accomplish their dreams........... I love reading novels but this novel not only gave me tears, laughter, anger(from the antagonist) but also unexpectedly life lessons that I have listed down as it truly is life changing.....

    I beg everyone to read this novel it really is great

    I'm waiting for more chs!!
    I loved ch 273 real slapped I. The face for that cheater

    it's prety decent I'm currently caught up (chp255) it doesn't really stand out the only brownie points i can give is that it doesn't have a harem (nearly impossible to find on a system novel)

    edit: i also noticed that the names for the new characters are just straight western names instead of Korean

      Idol systems are pretty much never harems, idols are expected to not date.

      So the brownie point isn't really one, it's just inherent to this specific system subtype.
