Pleeease keep reading I promise it’s good. The first chapter (or rather the situation itself) is meant to be frustrating at times. It’s a manhwa full of struggles and realistically dark moments but it’s known for being emotional, funny and super wholesome in spite of that.
About why Iwol has to debut with Spark: well I don’t know the exact reason for where I am in the novel (aside from the proxy fangirling thing) but I can say that his relationship with his group members are one of the highlights of the story. He ends up being a sort of strict but overprotective older brother figure to all of them and they all rely on and think highly of him in return. They might look and act deceptively normal but they’re actually all surprisingly chaotic and loveable in their own way. Anyway it’s a good story with good characters I promise.
It’s really good. Spoilers on the system.

When his sister died, Iwol became super depressed and really has nothing going for him in his life except to honor his sister every year after her passing. He has no friends, and honestly, his sister watched over him and saw SPARK and thought that if he had friends around his age, he wouldn’t be so lonely.
The system is basically forcing him to debut with them to basically heal Iwol imo, and give him people to lean on and trust outside of his sister. And, I think it really helped Iwol become happy.
(I read the entire novel, it’s soooo good)

In addition, the system had to speak like Manager Nam because that was the only choice it had to get Iwol into wanting a fresh start at life and heal from all his trauma. And yeah, like person above mentioned, his sister's comment about Spark got it to choose this group and career choice on a literal basis since it doesn't quite understand humans.
it was also mentioned in earlier chapters but this is like an alternate universe where he had the freedom to choose to be a trainee because we learn pretty early on that he was actually scouted by this agency years ago and he only declined because of his personal situation so technically he couldve really been in this group in his original life

I want to read this but I can't get past the first chapter, I feel irritated.
First of all why must he debut with this particular group. Apart from his toxic boss imposing unnecessary work like the event poster designing obviously not related to their company work (which should be illegal), it doesn't look like he was connected to the kpop group at any point in his life.
Secondly, why the f*ck is that shitty system trying to get him debut with the group using his LATE SISTER, that's just messed up.
It feels really insulting and degrading. Like perform for me and I'll stop your sister from dying.
Is this manhwa any good, responses and spoilers are welcome.
