From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

June had never heard of it before. However, as his teammates played the commercial for the K-pop survival show on the TV in their practice room, everything started making sense.

Still images of the stage were shown on screen. It was reminiscent of the stage they had during Rising Stars. However, this time, it was definitely more grand—more fit for idols and not mere trainees.

Then, a female robotic voice started speaking as the lights danced on the stage.

"The prince, adorned in music's grace."

"Bows to seek the king in this sacred space."

A loud bass resonated in the room, startling the members of EVE.

"A throne awaits, anointed with song."

"The king's identity, to whom does it belong?"

"Holy shit. This is so cool," Akira exclaimed as the camera panned to Kim Wonbin, a popular host and comedian in Korea, standing at the center of the large stage.
