Rembrary (Kim Min Kyu) is the high priest of an otherworldly cult. The cult worships a deity that connects the underworld with the mortal realm. But a bizarre set of circumstances sends Rembrary into modern South Korea – where he swaps “souls” with a young man named Woo Yeon Woo. The latter is a minor K-pop star – the “visual center” of a failing all-male group named Wild Animal. Rembrary knows nothing of modern life, particularly the world of K-pop. As such, he finds himself hopelessly out of his depth when trying to act, learn dance moves, perform onstage, and follow the strict diet of a K-pop icon.

All appears to be lost, but Woo Yeon Woo’s biggest fan, Kim Dal (Go Bo Gyeol) refuses to let his career implode. She steps in to become Wild Animal’s new manager...and slowly begins to reverse the group’s fate! But it soon turns out that Rembrary is not the only person who has moved from the spirit realm into the K-pop scene. Others have followed, too – including a powerful force of chaos. Can Rembrary and Kim Dal save the day?
