From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Despite all the revelations, June managed to get some good sleep. The Charity Concert cemented his mind to becoming an idol, and with that, he became even more determined to change the idol industry for the better. Because EVE didn't have any schedules for the day, June and the other boys decided to sleep in.

However, as some sunlight peeked through his curtains, June decided to get up and prepare some breakfast for the boys. He went to the kitchen and whipped up something fast before placing the food on their living room table. June knew that the boys were currently obsessed with PD Ramil's new reality TV show, 'Everyday, Everynight,' so he inferred that they wanted to watch the replay since they missed it last night.

As expected, as soon as June was finished cooking, the boys came out of their rooms and sat around the living room table. It was instincts at that point. "Do we have the replay already?" Akira asked, some dried saliva still on his cheeks. "I do," Jisung said, his eyes barely open. June shook his head in amusement.

He really knew the guys like the back of his hand. "You guys love that show, huh?" June asked. Jaeyong, despite not being a fan of dramas, nodded in agreement. "It's really good," he said. "There's so much drama at times, but it's also wholesome." "Joonie is already becoming famous because of it," he added. Casper clicked his tongue. "I don't like that guy." "What?" the others exclaimed, turning to Casper. "How could you not like him?" Akira asked. "He's so good and kind.

He's handsome, too." "Who's Joonie?" June asked, capturing the others' attention. "Oh, right," Akira chuckled. "You don't really pay attention to the show. You're busy every day in your room." "What are you even doing there, bro?" Zeth asked. "Are you filled with sexual tension these days?" June glared at Zeth as he continued to tease June. "Shut up," June said. "I'm looking into something." "Anyway, who's that guy?" he asked. "Play the replay!" Akira said, and Jisung quickly followed. The show played, and June instantly realized why it was popular.

The amount of men and women was the same, so it almost seemed like a dating show. However, it involved fairly popular people, but they couldn't really date each other. Instead, it felt like a rite of passage.

Their real personalities were shown, and seeing so many contrasting ones was quite compelling. "Is this show really popular?" June asked. "Very," Akira responded. "It airs every day for an hour, and it's almost unfiltered. It's a same-day edit, and they have a live feed in YouWatch, so a lot of people also tune in to look for hidden moments. It's almost like Big Brother with a mix of Survivor, but all of the people are quite famous." "After the first episode, it became a very popular show." "I see," June muttered. "And that guy over there!" Akira continued, pointing to a guy with pink hair and fair skin. "He's become the most popular person in the show despite being a D-list actor when he came in." "Hmm," June hummed, continuing to watch him. "He's pretty nice." "He's not nice!" Casper exclaimed, taking them by surprise.

Ren chuckled in amusement. "Why don't you like him?" "He's obviously copying June!" Casper exclaimed. June turned to him and raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?" June asked. "The pink hair, his clumsy way of talking, his deep perspectives. Even the way he smiles and laughs is just like June.

Heck, the mole under his eye is in the same position as June's! That's why people like him a lot." They all turned silent before bursting into chuckles. "You're way too deep in the June lore," Sehun said. Casper pulled on his hair. "He even has a similar name!

You guys are not getting it." June observed Joonie and found that he, indeed, felt a bit similar to himself. However, it was only the beginning of the episode, so he couldn't really confirm it. "Continue watching!" Casper insisted. However, before June could really observe Joonie, Jaeyong dropped his tea on the floor, making Akira's crotch wet. "What the heck, dude?" he exclaimed. "I look like I pissed myself!" "Go to channel 8," Jaeyong said, ignoring Akira.

Akira frowned. "Heck no! We're watching the show." Jaeyong clicked his tongue and grabbed the remote. "That's not important right now." With that, he switched to channel 8. Akira attempted to bring it back to the replay, but he stopped when he saw a familiar face on the TV. "Mr...Ong?" he muttered.

The others were also intrigued, wondering why their CEO was a guest on a popular morning talk show. June frowned and watched the show. "Thank you for being with us," the host said. Mr.

Ong smiled and bowed his head. "Thank you for inviting me here." "No, it's truly our honor," the host giggled. "We're here with Mr. Ong, the CEO of Azure Entertainment and the person behind the Charity Concert at Little Sunflowers." "What the fuck?" Jisung cursed. Ren would have scolded him for cursing, but he also felt angry. "Oh, don't give me too much credit," Mr.

Ong humbly said. "There were a lot of people involved in the process. I just spearheaded it, to be exact." "He is not doing this right now," June muttered. "Recently, you have been under fire after news about Azure's mistreatment of their artists came to light," the host said, changing the topic. Mr.

Ong's face shifted for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. "I saw," he nodded. "What can you say about this?" the host asked. Mr. Ong sighed, and at that moment, June realized that their CEO was a damn good actor. "Each institution has a set of ground rules," he started off. "Some are harsher than others, but what most people fail to understand is that these are needed for keeping the order in that said institution." "I believe the news and the people's perspective about me are hard to reverse." "So, I'm just going to let it be." "What I can do now is continue helping others," he smiled. "Just like the Charity Concert, I hope people can see that I am a good CEO."
