The situation
MBC Plus's drama "My Idol, My Debut" has released teasers for its fictional girl group IRION, featuring Hwang Ji Ah, tripleS's Kaede, WOOAH's Nana, and AISA. The group's debut single "MEMORIA" is set to drop on July 19. The drama, which premieres on July 16, follows a fan who travels back in time to prevent a tragic accident and becomes an idol trainee.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo are generally unbothered, with some commenting on the interesting concept of the drama and others questioning the casting choices.
- The teasers have sparked discussion about the potential music style of IRION, with some speculating that "MEMORIA" might be a *_사이다_* (refreshing and addictive) summer song.
- — "i'm lowkey excited to see how this drama turns out, the time-slip concept is pretty unique"
The open question
The drama's success hinges on how well the storyline balances the time-slip elements with the idol debut plot, and whether IRION's music will resonate with viewers. The release of "MEMORIA" on July 19 will be a crucial test of the group's musical appeal.
