The Malicious Member is Back! (also known as Trsh Rex*) follows the redemption journey of Kim Chunyong (stage name: Rex). In his first life, Chunyong was the most hated idol in K-pop history—a "malicious member" defined by public scandals, a devastating alcohol addiction, and a cynical worldview. This spiral began after his entire family was killed in a tragic accident shortly after his debut, leaving him as the sole survivor.
Upon his arrest in the original timeline, Chunyong strikes a contract with a snarky, sentient "System" to return to the past. His goal: save his family, right his wrongs, and become the greatest idol in history.
