MBC Plus drama 'My Idol, My Debut' premieres July 16 with linked IP idol groups IRION and BOY TO THE MOON

My Idol, My Debut (최애 데뷔) premieres July 16 at 11:30 PM on MBC드라마넷 and Japanese OTT platform Lemino. Minari Entertainment produced the series, with Han Geum-bi directing and Choi Yeon-su writing.

The premise: a devoted fan slips back eight years, becomes an idol trainee, and fights to prevent a tragedy she knows is coming. It's a time-slip coming-of-age story built around two fictional groups. Girl group IRION (이리온) and boy group BOY TO THE MOON (보이투더문) anchor the narrative, with IRION's debut title track MEMORIA (메모리아). The drama functions as a linked IP project—the characters' on-screen activities are designed to spill into real-world performances.

Nana plays trainee Aji. Kaede plays Karin. Hwang Ji-a plays Choi Aeni. Aisa plays Aisa. Lee Jin-hyuk plays Lee Seon. THE BOYZ member Q (Ji Chang-min) plays Han Jaeha. Stills released July 14 showed monthly evaluations and the final debut lineup announcement.

After the simultaneous MBC드라마넷/Lemino premiere, the show rolls out on MBC M, Wave, Tving, and Watcha. Q also dropped his first solo track, Anytime (애니타임), on the same day.
