The Idol Who Got a Second Chance

At forty, Han Jiwon has nothing to show for the dreams he once had. When he was eighteen, he wanted to make music. He wanted to sing, perform, and build a life around the one thing that truly made him happy. Instead, he chose a safer path. For the sake of his parents, Jiwon attended a mediocre university, graduated late with a degree in economics, and eventually settled into an ordinary office job. His friends disappeared one by one, his dreams became hobbies, and the years quietly passed him by. Then, at forty, Jiwon dies alone. His greatest regret isn’t that he failed. It’s that he never even tried. When he opens his eyes again, he is eighteen. Young. Healthy. Poor-looking. Unattractive. And standing in front of him is something that shouldn’t exist. [IDOL SYSTEM ACTIVATED.] With a mysterious system capable of measuring his abilities, potential, and growth, Jiwon is given something he never thought he’d have again:time. This time, he refuses to waste it. But becoming an idol won’t be easy. His appearance is far from impressive, his confidence is almost nonexistent, and his dancing is terrible. His one extraordinary gift is his voice. And when a massive survival program announces that fifty trainees will compete for seven debut spots, Jiwon sees the opportunity of a lifetime. He also recognizes some of the contestants. He remembers them from his first life. They were members of AURORA, one of Korea’s biggest idol groups. Their debut became a sensation. Their albums sold millions. Their songs topped the charts. And then, years later, everything fell apart. Jiwon never knew why. This time, he intends to find out. He doesn’t just want to become an idol. He wants to help seven boys become stars, build a group that can survive long after the survival show’s cameras disappear, and make sure that the people who once became strangers to each other never lose their way. Because Jiwon has already lived a life full of regrets. He’s not going to live another one. This time, he’ll step onto the stage. And he won’t be leaving it alone. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Idol Who Got a Second Chance — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
