From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 725 Fu's Hiatus

"You already knew about that, didn't you?" Jangmoon whispered by June's side.

June smirked and nodded, making Jangmoon shake his head in amusement.

"Man, you're always so smart," he said.

June clicked his tongue and gestured for him to continue his announcement.

Although the two of them hadn't met personally in a while, there was no awkward air between the two.

Just then, Jeemin raised her hand, capturing Jangmoon's attention.

"Yes?" Jangmoon asked.

"How are the teams going to be divided?"

Jangmoon smirked and waited for a few seconds before responding.

"You guys are already with your teams," he said, making the girls exclaim in surprise.

For some, they were elated. However, most of them wanted to switch teams and have the opportunity to perform with the 'more famous' trainees.

Mei, on the other hand, glanced at her teammates and smiled.

She actually didn't mind being with them.

Out of everyone she teamed up with on the show, they were the ones she enjoyed performing with the most.

"Now, now," Jangmoon said, trying to calm down the ladies. "I know that you have a lot of opinions about this, but it has already been decided."

"In fact," Jangmoon continued. "Your mentors have already been decided, too!"

Ara felt her heart race inside her chest. She had a feeling that they were going to perform with June!

"The mentor that helped you for the last stage will be your teammate for the following mission," he continued.

"Yes!" Ara exclaimed loudly, capturing the attention of many others.

The girls from the other teams turned to Mei's team with envious looks.

Jeemin pursed her lips since she was actually looking forward to performing with June after the mission had been announced.

She was confident in their skills, but she also knew the power that June held.

The team he was in had the highest chance of winning!

The other mentors also turned to June with amused smiles.

"Well, I guess we're competing for second place," Lee Sik remarked, making the other mentors chuckle.

June, on the other hand, shook his head.

"It still boils down to the performance," he said.

Jangmoon cleared his throat into the microphone, grabbing their attention once again.

"However, it isn't going to be such an easy mission," he continued.

"In Rising Stars, we give high value to the concepts that you choose."

"With this, Rising Stars has provided five new songs just for you," he concluded.

"Oh, is this like the production mission?" Mina asked. "They're making our songs this time."

"Well, it was unfair during the last season," Jeemin chimed. "That Lin Zhi guy got help from a real producer and passed it off as his. I think this is the best decision."

"We will be showing you the songs in a couple of moments. However, before all of that, the mentors will already choose the song after only seeing their initials!"

Jangmoon said.

The mentors turned to each other in surprise.

"Just the initials? Not even the genre?" Amira asked, feeling like there was a lot at stake.

"Yup!" Jangmoon said. "You guys give the girls such a hard time, so Azure decided to give you a difficult task, too."

The girls chuckled in amusement.

Meanwhile, the mentors were still wondering how they were going to gauge the song's genre just by its initials.

It was inevitable that they had strengths of their own, and it would be nice if they were able to perform a song within their competencies.

"Please direct your gazes to the back," Jangmoon said.

The mentors walked to the side to allow the girls to see the five initials.

June shook his head. There it was again—those damn initials.

It reminded him that he still had to figure out who 'K' truly was in order for him to finally solve the passcode!

Just then, five initials were shown on the screen.

CLITS.

SL.

TETS.

PUBES.

ASS.

June's eyes widened in surprise.

"What the heck are these titles?" he muttered, feeling like they were being pranked.

He looked around to see everyone's reactions, but it seemed like he was the only one who found the situation strange.

"Am I the strange one?" he whispered.

"These songs are within different genres," Jangmoon continued with a straight face.

June shook his head. He had hopes that Jangmoon was going to find them strange, but it was to no avail!

"Let me ask the mentors what they would like to perform," he said, walking over to Lee Sik and handing him the microphone.

Lee Sik chuckled nervously.

"Well, I sure hope that we don't get an idol song," he said. "I know that my girls are all-rounders, but your old man isn't good at dancing at all. So, if we get a ballad of some sort, that would be really nice."

June smirked in amusement. He was very much hoping to see Lee Sik busting out some moves.

"What about you, Amira?" Jangmoon continued.

"Well, I want the complete opposite of what senior Lee Sik had said. I want a full, girly, pop song that would take the audience on a refreshing ride," she answered.

"Mentor Gun," Jangmoon said, now standing before him. "Of course, I can't miss you."

Gun chuckled. "I think the answer is already pretty obvious. I want a dance-heavy song—one that would allow me to show my strengths and amplify the girls' skills," he said.

"Well said," Jangmoon chimed, now turning to June.

"Somehow, I don't want to ask June since everything he says turns out to be jinxed," he said.

June clicked his tongue. "Don't say that," he remarked, making the girls chuckle.

They found him to be utterly adorable!

"I guess anything is fine," June said.

"Ooh!"

"He's confident."

"Well, he has a reason to be confident."

A collective exclamation was heard in the room, making June shake his head.

"Everything's fine except for one genre," he added, causing them to turn their attention to June once more.

"I don't want to perform an emotional song this time around," he said.

"Ahh," Jangmoon said in understanding. "Is that because the girls already performed it last week?"

June nodded. "I also don't think that performance can be topped. So, we need something a little bit more different."

"I hear you," Jangmoon said. "Because of this, are you down to pick first? Is that alright with everybody?"

"Yeah, sure," Lee Sik said, already aware of June's bad reputation with luck.

June looked around and clicked his tongue when he saw that they weren't threatened at all!

Did they really think too low of his luck?

June shook his head.

Now that Fu was on hiatus, his luck would have improved, right?

Right?
