Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom is a captivating Korean web novel that delves into the journey of a former idol who struggled to break free from the constraints of his image. Initially typecast as a ‘bottom’ due to his attractive appearance, the protagonist undergoes a drastic transformation in a bid to alter his public persona. However, the consequences of his actions lead to an irreversible decline in his fanbase and the eventual disintegration of his group, U-PITE. As he longs for a chance to rectify his past mistakes, a mysterious event transports him back to the beginning of his career, prompting a newfound determination to embrace his role and pursue genuine happiness. Amidst his resolve, unexpected challenges arise as his bandmates fall for his newfound persona, setting the stage for a compelling narrative of self-discovery and acceptance.

Description

In the early days of my debut as an idol, due to my pretty face, I had to play the role of a ‘bottom’ in the coupling fans had pushed.

But because I resented such an image, I attempted to change it by growing out a beard, tanning, and even packing on muscles.

As a result of my transformation, an irreversible loss of fandom began…

Shocked by my appearance from cute to muscular, fans stopped their fanaticism one by one, and as if on queue, other members of our group, U-PITE, acted similarly foolish one after another as the group broke down.

Five years later, I spend my days in regret having not accepted my role as a ‘bottom’ and wishing if I could go back to the past, I would be exactly what fans had wanted me to be.

Then one day, as I had wished, I inexplicably returned to my early debut days…

Now all I wished for was happiness! As such, I had vowed to become the ‘bottom’ of U-PITE in earnest and walk only on the path of success.

However, a problem had arisen. The other members seemed to have fallen for my ‘bottom’ act.
