Ml was a child actor but got seriously abused by his mother. Then his older co-actor friend, the one mentioned several times in earlier chapters tricked him into ditching his filming session. Then it all went downhill there when his mother spun it into a kidnapping incident (the one you were talking about) but later got found out that it was a lie this basically ruined his entire image. He got ridiculed wherever he went and finally his mother abandoned him. He went to the same junior high as mc, got bullied by everyone else except mc. They sort of became friends but another incident happened and he had to drop out/escape again.
is the ml an idol or what? i remember reading a panel about some idol with scandals but i dont remember which chapter. and now the mc said that he felt like he know ml from somewhere
