Monster Idols (Korean title: 괴물 같은 아이들), written by Wong-Sik Lee and illustrated by Min Hong, is a fun webtoon that delves into the world of K-pop idols with love and supernatural twists thrown into the mix.
A young girl Choi Hong is a down-on-her-luck celebrity stylist who catches a lucky break when she gets the opportunity to become the stylist for the insanely popular idol band, Real Monsters.
The band is composed of the leader Pie, the heartthrob, Lang, the flower boy Seth and the sweet Robin. Yet there is a lot hidden behind their glamorous exterior as Choi discovers the dirty little secret that these four pretty boys are hiding…None of them are human.
They are currently under a spell that that can potentially turn them into human beings if they receive enough love from their fans and that's where Choi comes in to help. Because although Real Monsters are one of the most popular bands in the country, their fashion sense is nonexistent and they constantly get pummeled in the media for their terrible taste.
Choi realizes that she has a daunting task in front of her. She gets to work rehabilitating their public image but faces a slew of obstacles as she must gain the band's trust and fight against their crazy fans. And as she becomes a part of their world, she also finds that she must deal with her own temptations and jealousy.
Any fans of K-Pop will appreciate this webtoon and how it plays with the idea of fandom. It's light, funny and of course, there is a romance element to it that will get you emotionally attached.
