Gotta Work: Idols 9-5
This week on Comeback Corner, we’re clocking in to ask: what would idols be like in a 9-5?
We kick things off with a classic - our SEVENTEEN bias line update: a shoutout to Mingyu, the most employed brand ambassador in K-pop (seriously, what can he not sell us?), and a check-in on CxM Hype Vibes (have you heard the album yet?).
From there, it’s a full dive into the “office idol” life: managers who micromanage everything (yes, even a coffee order), and the surprisingly normal jobs idols have had before debut - or after leaving the spotlight - from cafés to insurance companies to tattoo shops. Could they survive in an Excel-fueled boardroom? Or is JYP’s speed dial to Apple needed? And what happens when BTS meets a 9–5 grind?
To answer that and more, we launch our most delulu segment yet: XYZ Company. CL as CEO, Ni-ki as our intimidating intern, Seungkwan in HR (expect passive-aggressive emails), RM as our clumsy admin, Jennie handling marketing, and a line-up that’s guaranteed to either run the world… or file for bankruptcy in style.
Who runs the office gossip group chat? Who gets fired first? Chaotic, ridiculous, and a little too real - and yes, RM is already on full damage-control mode.
