ok i will tell you big BIG spoiler.
Hoyoon is actually dead. When he finished the evil editing and its aired on tv, the idol trainee got so many backlash and i think it got underlying suggestion that she almost attempt suicide(? im not so sure). Her life was ruined bc of that evil editing. Hoyoon panicked, he never thought his work will took on someone's life so he drive his car to the trainee's house in a frenzy but then he got into a car accident: instant death (ironic, it was the same way his parents died too).
That's why the system was actually helping him to gain life force by being a famous idol. More fan = more life force. The system is reviving him.
He stayed as an idol by the end btw! Bc theres actually no log out and no parallel world.
The system is actively influencing the real world, erasing (Hoyoon as a PD) and adding (Hoyoon as flop idol) people's memories so Hoyoon can stay with a new backstory. The system lied about getting him back to his og world.
The people who remembered him are his group members! Their memories of him is actually very important bc it's one of the condition to unlock the main story quest. Hoyoon has met every members of The Dawn in the past. Kang Ichae's memory was the hardest one to unlock, it took 450+ chapters for him to finally open up btw T_T Honestly Hoyoon got soooo attached to all members, he was contemplating so much if he want to go back to his og world or not.
I also want to add, Hoyoon is so easy to do fanservice. This guy can queerbait with any idol guy without batting an eye. Expect more of his gay shit (⌒▽⌒)
SORRY FOR THE LONG TEXT WALL!!! I TRULY LOVE THIS NOVEL AND GOT A BIT TOO EXCITED </3
OMG THANK YOU FOR THE TAKING YOUR TIME TO WRITE IT OUT ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
i look forward to seeing it unfold in the manhwa!! im very surprised abt the turn of events, maybe because i dont read a lot of idol stories but i dont think i wouldve predicted it.
i feel kinda sad that he wont go back to being a producer tho but it makes sense (┳Д┳)

coming back rereading this after finishing the novel's main story.
ah... they were so innocent and carefree in their early career huh...*nudged kang ichae*
