Oshi no Ko -interlude- chapter 1 saw Mem-Cho drinking with some of her friends during her high school days. This proved how she was willing to go to any lengths to gain contacts. Later, it was revealed that Mem-Cho had actually abandoned her real name and taken over the role of high school student and YouTuber Mem.

During this, she revealed to her friend how she did not want to become an idol because it would not help her earn much. However, when Mem-Cho's friend took her to a mixer where she was approached by a boy for a kiss, she rejected it.

She feared that if the information got leaked, she would not be able to become an idol. This proved that Mem-Cho still wanted to become an idol.

Oshi no Ko -interlude- chapter 2 will most likely feature another character's backstory. Considering how manga artist Mengo Yokoyari is working on the manga alone, she would not be able to provide fans with a lot of elements. Hence, there is a good chance that the upcoming chapter will feature a backstory of either Kana Arima or Akane Kurokawa.
