From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 321 Idol Sniper

Chapter 321 Idol Sniper

Attractive K-pop idols gathered, all with wide smiles on their faces. Surrounding them were cameras filming every angle and lights that were almost blinding.

The hosts, Lee Taemin and Ong Manchae, two promising young artists who were quickly rising to fame in their respective fields, waited for the director's cue.

They had cue cards in one of their hands and a sparkly mic in the other.

BOYMYSTIC and LUNIX, the nominated first placers for today's music show, stood at the very front. Meanwhile, OCTA and EVE were behind them, also anticipating the winner's announcement.

Varying lightsticks from different fandoms were seen in the crowd. Best believe that Jia and her friends were there since they couldn't miss EVE's first official music show stage. However, since they were a relatively new group, EVE still didn't have a lightstick.

As a result, Jia brought a pink kitty lightstick from the dollar store and used it to cheer for them instead.

Finally, the director gave Manchae and Taemin the cue, and they quickly wore bright smiles on their faces.

"Sharing music all over the world—the pride of K-pop," Taemin started off.

"This is..."

"Music Apex!" the two of them simultaneously said.

"Tonight, we have our two lovely nominees—LUNIX's Fairy Lights and BOYMYSTIC's One Stop Shop. Who is going to reign on top? Let's see their scoreboard," Manchae said.

Their stats with moving numbers were shown on screen, the two nominated artists watching in anticipation.

"Music Streams..."

LUNIX took the cake.

"Album Sales..."

BOYMYSTIC won this aspect by a landslide.

"Broadcast Score..."

"Viewer's Choice..."

"And the winner for this week is...," Manchae said, waiting for their score to be totaled on the screen.

"BOYMYSTIC!" she exclaimed. "Congratulations, you have won this week's Music Apex. Here's your trophy."

Akira, who was entrusted to give the team their flowers and trophy, happily handed them to Jordan.

Confetti flew everywhere, scaring most of the artists. Some of them faked their reactions just so they could make it into those 'Cute Idol Shocked Moments' posted on different video platforms.

"Uh, thank you so much for giving us our second win for this song," Jordan started off. "We're so happy that you've been with us since the very beginning."

Just then, he started tearing up, causing the other artists to turn toward their way.

"What is it?" Akira asked.

"Idols who look smart," Jaeyong responded.

Akira pursed his lips. "Well, he's not ALWAYS accurate, I give him that. It's a good thing I haven't been placed in one of his compilations."

"What do you mean?" Ren asked. "You were. I saw something two days ago, I think?"

Akira's eyes widened in surprise. "What? And you didn't bother to tell me?"

Ren shrugged, looking for the video on 'Idol Sniper's' profile so he could show it to Akira. "I didn't want you to make such a big fuss about it."

Akira smirked as he took Ren's phone. "I'm assuming it's a good one—"

However, his smile quickly dropped when he saw the title. It was under the same series as Sehun. However, instead of 'flat nose,' it was changed to 'big mouth.'

Akira tossed Ren's phone to the table and pouted. "I don't have a big mouth, do I?"

His teammates didn't respond.

"Ah, whatever!" Akira exclaimed. "At least I'm not in his Friday specials. I don't know where this Idol Sniper guy gets his information, but it's insane how much he has found out."

"Yeah," Jisung said. "I saw last week's special. Was it about that guy in DEN? They debuted not long ago, but he was already exposed for having stinky feet."

"Yikes," Ren said. "I wouldn't be able to show my face to the public afterward."

"It came with screenshots from his college friends and a pair of his socks, too," Casper said.

"Geez," Akira said. "My big mouth doesn't seem too bad now. But, speaking of his Friday specials, isn't it about time that he posted something...right about now?"

Just then, a notification popped up on Akira's feed, causing Jisung to glare at him.

"You have your notifications turned on for this dude?"

Akira scratched the back of his neck. "He's funny."

Jaeyong scoffed. "You just want to see if you made it into one of his good compilations."

"Shut up," Akira said. "I'm going to see who his victim is this time."

Akira was about to click on the video when he saw who was in the thumbnail.

"What?" Jaeyong asked. "I'm curious now. Who is it?"

Akira's eyes searched the room before they landed on pink hair.

"It's June."
