From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show-Chapter 850: You’re Not June

As soon as the news about Joonie joining Azure Entertainment broke through, praises for the artist and the company filled social media.

- Wow! Joonie's joining Azure Entertainment? Who would have known?

- He said he's interested in becoming an idol. Do you think he's going to debut as an idol?

- That would be nice. He sang during the campfire in one of the episodes, and his voice was pretty nice.

- Yeah, I saw some of his dancing videos back then, and he also seems decent.

- I used to hate Azure Entertainment, but since they have a new CEO, I agree with the collaboration! I like it so much <3.

- I've fallen in love with Joonie after 'Everyday, Everynight,' and I'm going to support him no matter what he does.

- Am I the only one who's reminded of June whenever I watch him?

- Omo! Now that you've said it, I think you're right. He does feel a lot like June.

-Sorry, June. I might like him better than you!

- Have you seen the brand reputation for this month? Joonie's second, just right behind June. I think he might surpass him soon.

"What are these comments talking about?" Casper asked, clicking his tongue. "June's popularity is much, much higher. He has so many endorsements, too."

"But they decreased this month, right?" Jaeyong asked, turning to their manager, who was now in their dorm room.

Jay nodded. "Yeah, they've decreased."

June shrugged. "I don't mind. I don't like being swamped with work anyway."

"But even then, you still maintained your number one spot," Jisung chimed, nudging June's shoulder.

June shook his head in amusement. Meanwhile, Casper continued to look at his phone with a deep frown.

Ren chuckled and patted his back. "Why do you hate him so much anyway?"

Casper sighed. "I told you-he reminds me too much of June."

"Then, shouldn't that be a good thing?" Zeth asked. "You're the number one simp for June anyway."

June was waiting for Casper to counter Zeth's statement, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he continued ranting about Joonie.

"He reminds me of June, but \not in a good way," Casper deadpanned. "I have a feeling that he's copying him."

"Really?" Sehun asked. "Well, he had his hair dyed pink when he first joined 'Everyday, Everynight.' Now, he's blonde and has the same haircut as June during King of Kings."

"I noticed that, too," Zeth said.

"Now that you've said it, I think you're right," Akira said. "He's not nonchalant like June. Instead, he reminds me a bit like Lei, like his blatantly kind. However, the way he carries himself, the way he smiles, and even the way he dresses-it all reminds me of June."

Jisung pursed his lips and nodded. "Is that the reason why I like him so much?" he muttered. "Yes!" Casper exclaimed. "You're just far too innocent to notice it, Ji. He's even copying June's way of speaking."

"I've never seen Casper this proactive before," Ren said, amused.

Casper turned to June and started shaking his shoulders. "What do you think about this?"

June took another bite of Casper's chicken nugget, to which the other boys grimaced at.

"I didn't watch the show," June said while shrugging. "So, I don't really know...and about the hair color-I don't mind. I can't gatekeep a hair color now, can't I?"

Casper sighed and shook his head. "You're way too kind, Junie."

Then, he gasped and covered his mouth in shock. "I can't believe I just said that! Junie... Joonie! That guy is getting into my brain."

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

June shook his head. "Relax. The guy hasn't even done anything."

June only said that; however, he felt that it wasn't a coincidence that Joonie was now with their company.

Since Lei already knew that June was aware of his real intentions, then he was sure that Lei was going to do his best to remove June from the picture.

"Let's see," June said.

The LUNAIRE ladies were practicing for their special music show stage when Ann came in with

a wide smile.

"Guess what?" she exclaimed.

The girls stopped practicing and turned to their excited manager with curious expressions.

"What?" Ara excitedly asked, bouncing to where Ann was.

The other girls, too, formed a circle around their manager, sweat dripping from their temples after hours of training.

"I got some important information," Ann started off, causing the girls to become even more -curious.

"Just tell us, Ann," Mina chuckled in amusement.

"A new artist is joining our company!" Ann revealed, causing the girls to look at each other.

"Is it Joonie?" Ara asked.

Ann's smile fell. "Wait," she muttered. "How do you guys even know?"

"It's all over Navel," Jeemin said. "I thought you were chronically online. You should have known before us."

Ann pursed his lips before sighing. "Ah, this manager job is taking away my time online. Well, that's one. The other one is I heard from one of the producers that one of you is going to join PD Ramil's show by the end of the month."

The girls, who were originally amused by their manager's mistake, looked at her with wide

eyes.

"What?" Jeemin exclaimed. "PD Ramil's show?"

"Is it 'Everyday, Everynight?"" Yeri asked, still in shock.

"Yes," Ann said. "That's the show. It's quite popular, right?"

"Quite popular?" Jeemin exasperatedly said. "It's the hottest show right now! After the successful first season, everyone's anticipating the second season. How can you drop the

bomb so casually like that?"

Ann shrugged. "Well, I did say that I have some news."

"Do you know who's going to join from our team?" Ara excitedly asked.

Ann shook her head. "Nope," she said. "I don't think they've decided just yet. However, this is

a great way to promote your team."

The girls nodded, already excited about the future plans of the company.

Just then, Mei walked away from them.

"Where are you going?" Ann asked.

Mei showed them her empty water bottle. "I'll go refill it and come back."

Ann nodded. "Alright. We'll wait for you before the final practice."

Mei nodded and went out of the room, whistling their song under her breath as she made her

way to the water fountain.

She quickly filled her water bottle and was about to head back to their practice room when she

saw someone familiar from afar.

He was wearing a cap along with an oversized tracksuit.

Mei smiled in amusement. "What is he doing here without his members?" she muttered.

With that, she walked over to him and pushed his shoulder with strength.

"You say that you're annoyed by my presence, but you came here to see me, huh?" she teased.

The two had grown closer in the time that Mei and the other members of LUNAIRE were preparing for their debut performance.

"What? Are you too cool to talk to me now?" Mei chuckled, about to tease him more.

The guy turned around, causing Mei to freeze.

"You're not June."
