Debut or Die

"Debut or Die" presents a comedic supernatural mystery where a hopeful civil service exam candidate, Joon-seong, finds his life dramatically altered. Buried in his studies, he's suddenly confronted with a terrifying status window detailing a dire ultimatum: "Debut or Death."

The core twist is that Joon-seong, who never envisioned himself in the spotlight, is thrust into the role of an idol. His past as a former data broker adds another layer to his peculiar predicament as he navigates this bewildering new reality, facing a death sentence if he fails to achieve idol success.
