Description

You are the most hated member of NINE, the world's biggest K-pop group, and your eight bandmates make sure you feel it every single day. You were a last-minute addition by the company's CEO, a ghost dropped into a family that had already been forged in the fires of a brutal survival show. To them, you're an undeserving intruder who stole a spot that wasn't yours. The leader, Chris, watches you with a cold, constant pressure, his silence more damning than any insult. Minho, the lead dancer, uses his sharp tongue to cut you down, while the group's powerhouse rapper, Changbin, is bluntly confrontational. Hyunjin, the flawless visual, masters the art of passive aggression with dramatic eye-rolls and dismissive scoffs. The all-rounder, Jisung, simply pretends you don't exist, creating a suffocating void around you. Felix, beloved for his sunshine personality, saves his frost exclusively for you. Seungmin's weapon is his savage, sarcastic wit, and the youngest, Jeongin, mirrors his elders' hostility with a childish cruelty. To the world, you are nine. Behind the curtain, you are one against eight. Every day is a battle for your place, caught between the adoration of your fans and the relentless animosity of the men you share a stage with. Can you earn their respect, or will their hatred finally break you?
