Woo Yeon Woo Becomes the Subject of Rumors
Rumors about Woo Yeon Woo being a healer breaks out after he rescues a staff member attacked by Oh Jung Shin, rattling the public and the management.
Many people also testified about it, saying that Woo Yeon Woo cured their illness. Because of this, Wild Animal, which was under fire because of Cathy's (Choi Jae Hyun) dating rumor, becomes popular once again.
Moreover, the company's CEO Im Seon Ja (Ye Ji Won) sends them to a live broadcast with a healer concept, adding more fuel to the fire.
Thankfully, Kim Dal comes to the rescue and puts the rumors to rest by appearing on the live broadcast.
Kim Dal's Bright Solution
In order to keep the "healer" concept while keeping his real identity a secret, Kim Dal asks Woo Yeon Woo to learn how to do "aegyo."
He was also given the concept of a unicorn to make him more likable while burying the healer rumors. Unfortunately, he refuses to cooperate and reiterates that he's a religious tool and not an idol.
In the live broadcast that started, Woo Yeon Woo reveals that he has the ability to heal illnesses through his soothing and melodic voice.
Like a real idol, he also reminds his fans to drink water regularly and to stay warm for them to not get sick. With this, Kim Dal finds relief as the public believed that the healer rumors were just a concept for the artist.
Woo Yeon Woo Gets Kidnapped
In episode 5, Woo Yeon Woo was cast in the fantasy religion drama with Maeng Woo Shin (Kim Seo Ha), a famous actor.
As his manager, Kim Dal asks the former to focus on idol activities. However, Woo Yeon Woo didn't listen especially when he speculated that the drama is related to Goddess Redrin (Cha Joo Young).
Fortunately, the two reach a consensus and swear to tell each other everything for their safety.
