Chapter 0 - Prologue

Prologue

There was a group that created a dance craze in the Idol world. Four-member idol group, Potato Pancakes. There were rumors here and there that the representative debuted after eating potato pancakes.

Popular cultural critics cited ‘Idol group with the theme of peace between nature and humanity’ as the secret to the survival of Potato Pancakes in the hard-to-sustain Idol world, but their secret to success definitely depended on their faces. They were good at dancing, but their faces were the cream on top. They were very popular, and even before their debut, they had a big fandom.

There was a slogan following Potato Pancakes since their debut, which was

“… How outrageous. Who are you cursing at?!”

I dragged the mouse cursor to the bottom right of the comment and clicked on the spam button. Even though I knew it would be counted only once, I clicked on it many times. My face crumpled while staring at the monitor, my mind was upset after seeing comments like these.

To the Potato Legend, the abrupt announcement of Ryu Seon-jae was like a fire that never died, hoping for the extinction of Potato Pancakes. Fans sweared and cried, saying that they couldn’t survive in the tough idol world while singing ordinary ballads and that the Potato Pancakes would burn out. They cursed Seon-jae; he’d ruined their Oppas’ future by enrolling as a member in the group.

“If you’re going to blame, blame Kang Geun-soo, the representative. What’s wrong with my Seon-jae?”

I turned my head and made eye contact with the person on the poster stuck to my wall. He had a bright smile, dressed neatly in a beige knitted sweater.

If it was true that people live longer because they were cursed, Ryu Seon-jae, the 5th member of Potato Pancakes, would live until the demise of the world.

But, I will always be his biggest fan and he’ll be my number one.
