How can you save others without saving yourself? How can you prevent a terrible fate set for the seven members, full of dreams now shattered because of terrible events that only happened in a different universe?

I woke up in a different reality, looked around my surroundings, and noticed that I'm in a familiar place. I'm not the same teenage Filipina. In fact, the person staring at me right now is someone different. That's when I realized, my mind brought me into a reality I never knew existed.

A mission where I couldn't leave behind. This is where the true meaning of 7AD music videos came from. A reality that comes in their dreams. A story that inspired the well-known 7AD's universe, where even Reality lingers for the truth.

A girl trainee guided by an idol for my debut. Through training, I slowly solve the mystery behind Gil's, Min Shi's, and Dong-Yul's fears in my dreams. An ability I possess in hopes that I would save them. A mission I cannot leave behind.

Idol's Persona: Alter Ego

“Have I seen you somewhere?” Min Shin asked with confusion. 


Does he recognize me? Maybe not. We’ve only met in an alternate universe, and I was Sang Mi. 


Dong-Yul straightened his jacket before speaking. “Min Shin, she is the girl I’ve been telling you about. The potential trainee.” 


Min Shin’s eyes widened. “Oh her? She looks so different from the video. She looks thinner and a bit stressed. Nevertheless, her skills are impressive, but is it impressive enough?” 


I avoided his gaze on me. “She has enough potential, trust me on this Min Shin.” Dong-Yul insisted. 


We walked into Dong-Yul's apartment and went into the room filled with mirrors. Dong-Yul played “Fantastic Baby” by Big Bang on his Bluetooth speaker before we started stretching. 


“Let’s lighten up the mood a bit.” Dong-Yul blurted out.
