About this title
Synopsis
"I will leave the debut group." I can't make it in this group. I should leave and set up a chicken restaurant so that my brothers could at least make a name for themselves. Destined to be a failed idol, I decided to leave the group for the betterment of the others. However... [A member dies if you leave the debut group.] What? "...This is making me crazy." The struggles of Bong Tae-Yoon, the Maknae on top, whose hands hold the lives of his group members, begins now! (Source: Kakao Entertainment, translated)
