From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show - Chapter 726: An Icon Of Bad Luck

“So, what is your decision?” Jangmoon asked, pressuring June.

June clicked his tongue and finally decided on one.

He couldn’t really say the other acronyms out loud without bursting into laughter, so he picked the most normal-looking one.

“SL,” June said.

“Ooh, SL! Good choice,” Jangmoon said before going over to Gun.

“And you, sir?”

“Hmm,” Gun stroked his chin. “I’ll have to go with TETS.”

June pursed his lips. How could he keep such a straight face while saying that word?

The same is true with Ji-Hyun, who chose ‘PUBES.’

Then, Amira chose CLITS, making June fan himself.

His face was red from holding in his laughter. He was usually a nonchalant person, but the names were too hilarious for him to stay serious.

“I’ll choose ASS. I will always choose ASS. It’s been in my mind since you revealed it,” Lee Sik said in a serious tone, causing June to feel lightheaded.

‘Oh goodness,’ he thought.

‘Is it my disease, or is this just hilarious?’

“It seems like we have all of the song choices ready!” Jangmoon exclaimed. “Now, we will reveal them one by one in reverse order,” he continued.

Lee Sik’s team held their hands in front of their chests, feeling like their hearts were going to explode at any given time.

“ASS!” Jangmoon exclaimed.

The letters were amplified on the screen before they separated and formed a song title.

“A Sad Sonata,” Jangmoon read, making June’s eyebrows furrow.

“Well, that sounds surprisingly normal,” he muttered.

Lee Sik couldn’t help but smile as soon as he saw the title. Even though it was just a title, it seemed like it was already well-fitted for his team.

‘A Sad Sonata,’ otherwise known as ASS, was a heartfelt ballad driven by a melancholic piano melody. The song seemed to capture deep emotions, which was perfect for Lee Sik and his team to showcase their talent.

The classical feel and rich harmonies gave it a timeless quality. The title said it all–it was a truly sad piece. The structure also allowed for plenty of improvisation, letting the musicians add their own touch.

In short, it was perfect for Lee Sik.

“Well, it appears like Mentor Lee Sik is happy,” Jangmoon chimed. “Now, let’s go to Mentor Amira’s choice–CLITS.”

A nostalgic RnB sound was heard in the hall, making the girls nod their heads to the beat.

Then, the acronym came to life–‘Citylights in the Summer.’

June’s frown deepened. Once again, the title was actually quite normal compared to its acronym, making him have a bad feeling about his choice.

‘Citylights in the Summer’ had a groovy vibe that captured the essence of nightlife. However, it also carried an emotional depth. The track felt like a coming-of-age anthem, perfect for girl groups to perform. Its smooth rhythm and catchy melodies evoked warm summer nights in the city.

“I can’t quite pinpoint whether you like it or not,” Jangmoon said, causing Amira to snap out of her reverie.

Then, he gave Jangmoon a thumbs up. “I like it a lot, actually. I think it’s different from what I’m used to, but it’s a song we can pull off well.”

“That’s the spirit,” Jangmoon exclaimed.

“With that, let us head to our third song—PUBES.”

The intro of ‘PUBES’ played, making some of the girls jump in surprise.

‘Please UnBreak Each Spell’ was shown on the screen, and it was a dramatic pop song with a powerful, emotional punch.

It featured plenty of opportunities for high notes, which was perfect for showcasing vocal range and intensity. The instrumentals felt like it was telling a story of two lovers trapped in an unbreakable spell, unable to escape each other.

Ji-hyun’s eyes sparkled as she could already feel herself creating a masterpiece with the song.

June, too, couldn’t help but think that the song was perfect for her. Aside from her powerful voice, she was also a well-

known theater performer, so songs as such were right up her alley.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better song,” she said, making Jangmoon smile.

“I’m glad you like it,” he said.

“Now, let’s head onto the next song—TETS.”

It was Gun’s turn, and he couldn’t help but feel nervous. He wasn’t vocally inclined, so he hoped that the song he chose was a groovy anthem instead.

As the song played, he wasn’t disappointed when he heard a vibrant jazz-pop melody with a groove reminiscent of Bruno Neptune.

‘Tell Everybody To Stop’ appeared on the screen, causing his smile to widen even more.

It had an upbeat tempo and catchy rhythm that was perfect for dancing. The beat urged everyone to stop what they were doing and dance their hearts out! The track captured the energetic, fun vibe of the ‘Step-up’ movies, and it was ideal for getting people on their feet and moving.

Gun couldn’t look happier after the song preview ended.

Then, Jangmoon walked over to June, placing one arm around his shoulder.

June bit his lip and suddenly felt nervous. For some reason, the mentors ended up with the perfect songs for their strengths!

That meant that June was also going to bag a good song, right? The others had already taken their perfect genres, anyway!

“He seems the most nervous,” Jangmoon chuckled, patting June’s back.

“Well, June didn’t have the best luck with song choices since our season,” he continued, making the girls chuckle, too.

“However, it all worked out in the end anyway, so I don’t even know what he’s nervous about,” Jangmoon chimed. “Please play the last song!”

June and the girls waited in anticipation for ‘SL.’

The first few notes of a charming piano were heard, causing June to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

It was….cute.

Now, he wasn’t a foreigner to cute concepts since he could swallow his pride and actually embody cuteness. The song was already exuding so much sweetness, and June could already imagine the teasing he would get from his members.

However, he didn’t think it was too bad.

It could actually be worse.

However, as the acronym showed what it really meant, June realized that he had spoken too soon.

‘Sibling’s Love.’

“Oh, come on,” he muttered.
