I just started reading the novel for this.
It’s really fun. I think this is the only idol story I’ve read so far that I’ve enjoyed since finishing Debut or Die… maybe I prefer main characters who originally had a different job before becoming an idol?

I think overall I just like how the MC is genuinely trashy like the title says and his past life is relevant to the story, and it’s refreshing to see the team members are greedy for success and actually think for themselves instead of following everything the MC says. So yes, The Dawn members really carry the story for me and they’re all so fun and loveable and scary lol. So far Dajun is my favourite, especially his novel art, he looks like an angel.

    Sorry for the shameless rec, have you tried assistant manager Kim hates idols yet? I haven’t tried the manhwa yet (just about to actually) but the novel is one of the best idol stories out there imo

    Don’t feel shameless, I welcome recs. I won’t know if I like it if I don’t try reading it. I haven’t read either the novel/manhwa for that but it’s definitely on my list after I finish this one. Thanks a lot (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

    omg i'm glad you like it. personally i'm not that picky about art, and i actually thought the art suited the story pretty well as it looked more like a modern drama rather than an idol story
