The next day, in the “Weekly Young Sunday,” an advertisement of the webtoon with the members of Girls’ Generation on display was published. Other cuts contained illustrations of singers such as TVXQ, BoA and SHINee.
The series will feature various acts belonging to SM Entertainment as the plot is about an idol singer who becomes involved with a fan fiction writer.
