Who would have imagined having a chicken mukbang with Korea's top idol?

Hajun, a popular streamer specializing in the trending game "Legend of Legend," encounters a player called 'THATMOON' while playing on his hidden alternate account. This college student player displays unbelievable skills that make it hard to believe he's a newbie. Finally finding a well-matched gaming friend, an excited Hajun approaches him eagerly, and the two quickly become friends who share their daily lives with each other.

Then one day, Hajun finds himself in a situation where he needs to reveal to 'THATMOON' that he's a streamer. As he nervously reveals his identity, the response he receives is completely unexpected...

"...Hyung, I'm sorry. Actually, I was... going to tell you too... I'm... an idol singer."

[10,000 won donation! This is next-level sixth sense!]

[1,000 won donation! Is it Imun?!?! Is it Imun?!?! Is it Imun?!?!]

[3,000 won donation! Imun, why aren't you preparing for your comeback ㅠ]

Comeback? What was that about? I felt isolated, being the only one left out on my own stream. The donations acting familiar with Imun continued to irritate me. Anxiety built up from being unable to follow the situation.

"What... what's going on? Who is that guy? His name is... Imun? Why is his video suddenly showing...?"

While I was trying to ask my viewers for any clues, a cold mechanical sound sharply pierced my ears.

[50,000 won donation! Can't believe Gangha hyung was friends with an idol]

[20,000 won donation! The radio video looks like Imun from On The Sky]

Radio. Hiatus. Comeback. Idol. Voice. Imun.

Words that had been floating separately suddenly connected like puzzle pieces. It was a hypothesis I couldn't believe even as I formulated it.

"No... no way. Come on."

Just as I was laughing it off, denying reality, Imun sighed deeply.

Right? It's impossible. As I laughed awkwardly, hoping he would personally deny it—

"...Hyung, I'm sorry. Actually, I was... going to tell you too... I'm... an idol singer."

My mind went blank, almost evaporating. What I heard wasn't properly registering in my brain. "Idol?" I stupidly repeated his words in a lifeless tone.

I sat motionless for several seconds as if the screen had frozen. Only after Imun called my name repeatedly did my dazed consciousness return.

"You're... an idol?!"
