From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

- What the heck?

- What is happening?

- Why does he sound so fluent?

- Does he know the effect he has on me? I've known him for less than ten minutes, and I am already in love!

- How can he speak Chinese so well?

Indeed, June took the initiative to translate the lyrics of Luster into his native language. It wasn't an easy feat, especially fitting the lyrics into the beat.

He also couldn't ask for help from his other members since none of them spoke Chinese like he did.

So, he dedicated his time to ensuring that each word was precisely translated so it wouldn't sound weird.

"One, you're the one for me.

In your eyes, that's where I long to be.

Two, you're too good to be true.

With every smile, my love for you grew."

The crowd chattered among themselves, wondering how he sounded like a native man.

"What is this? Did they translate their song into Chinese?"

"I've never seen so much dedication from an idol group!"

"This song is good, too."

"It's only been one verse."

"Even if! They need to release it here, too. It's going to be a hit!"

However, that wasn't the only shock of the night.

Jayden, as soon as he heard June's live voice resonating in the venue, knew that he was the one who sang the recording.

It seemed like only he and Angel recognized this, though, as they turned to each other with wide eyes.

"It's him," Angel said, her mouth agape.

"It is," Jayden Chou. Then, he looked around, looking for other people who would have noticed.

However, the other performers only continued monitoring EVE's performance, unable to tear their eyes away.

Jayden smirked and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Where has this boy been hiding all along?" he muttered. "If he had debuted here, then he would have created a big storm."

The next person to sing was Akira and Jisung.

"Three, you're the light in my dark.

In your presence, I find my spark.

Four, you're my guiding star.

In your love, I've found my avatar."

- These two boys don't sound too bad, too!

- Yeah, they have good pronunciation. Who taught them this?

- Only a native speaker would be able to make them sing like that!

- But aren't Koreans also familiar with our letter system? They have some letters that are derived from our alphabet.

- That doesn't take away the fact that they're amazing singers! Do you hear their tone and intonation?

The members danced and sang the song live without any struggle.

Even when they sang together in the chorus, nothing seemed out of place.

"Cause I'm tongue-tied, and I'm hypnotized.

Every single time I look into your eyes.

Yeah, you always make me mesmerized.

Need you with me for life."

Indeed, June made sure that his members would get the pronunciation right. He didn't want

to give a half-assed performance in front of a new crowd.

In fact, the entire group never wanted to give a mediocre performance.

They always settled for the best.

The song neared its end, yet the crowd still wasn't over the fact that the K-pop boy group performed a high-quality performance in another language!

Then, as the last notes of 'Luster' resonated in the field, the boys stood in a formation once again, cheery and bright-a huge contrast from their performance in the beginning.

Somehow, it made the crowd fall in love even more with the members of EVE.

- Ah, stop looking at me with those bright smiles! I'm already in love with seventeen other boys! Don't give me the temptation.

- You're so right. My wallet is drained as it is. However, I feel like these boys are going to ruin my life.

- I'm a new fan! I didn't think I would like their performance this much.

As the members of EVE settled on the stage, David and Dave went up with excited smiles.

They had interviewed every artist after their performance, and they felt the most excited to interview EVE.

"Give it up for EVE!" David exclaimed, and the crowd burst into deafening cheers.

The boys were already used to such noise; however, David and Dave covered their ears in

shock.

"Wow!" Dave said. "Those cheers are loud. It seems like you have captured the hearts of many tonight."

"Well, I'm not really surprised," David continued. "I, too, was very excited for their stage! They made me feel so many emotions in those few minutes! I felt myself getting whiplashed

from all of it!"

- The two hosts are so excited that they've forgotten that they can't speak Chinese.

- Well, from the way they sang a while ago, I would also believe that they're fluent in our language.

- Look at their faces, though. So cute! It's clear that they can't understand anything.

David and Dave continued praising EVE for their wonderful performance.

The members of EVE nodded despite not knowing what he was saying. "Dave!" David said after a while. "The boys can't understand what we're saying."

The audience burst into chuckles, causing the boys to chuckle along with them in a delayed manner. That seemed to endear them more to the fans and the hosts, though.

"See," Dave said. "They're even laughing just because we're laughing," he chuckled and looked at the boys with fatherly eyes.

"Well, we do have an interpreter with us. Let me call him up here for a moment."

June finally snapped out of his reverie, shifting his focus from the audience to the hosts.

Then, he lifted the microphone to his lips.

"Oh, there's no need to do that, sirs," June said in a respectful tone.

The two hosts halted as soon as June said those words. Then, they turned to each other in

surprise, wondering where the voice came from.

"Was that you, young man?" David asked curiosity in his eyes.

June chuckled and nodded.

"Yes," he said. "You may talk with me, and I'll translate for my members."

"What the!" David exclaimed in surprise.

"How come you're so good in our language, young man?"
