From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show



Never in June's life was his voice compared to shit. Even as a gangster, he received compliments from those who heard him sing. 

Even Mei Ling enjoyed his singing despite her unusually high standards. Not to mention, Lee Sik was also impressed when he first heard June sing! Heck, he was even able to capture the heart of one of the greatest actress-singers of all time, Jihyun! 

How could this old woman call his voice shit when he had only sung a few lines of a song he didn't even prepare for? 

"I'll sing again then," June said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Magic Mama stood from the piano chair and made her way to the couch, sitting with a loud thud while checking her dark blue nails. 

"Nah, that's fine," she said. "Call your manager and ask him to take you home. I've heard enough." 

June clicked his tongue. "You didn't even give me enough time to prepare!" 

Magic Mama stopped looking at her nails and stared June in the eyes. 

"A great singer will always be prepared," she smiled. 

Then, June was taken aback when she suddenly started singing an opera song, her controlled voice resonating in the room. Even though she was sitting down with her feet propped up on the small table before her, it did not compromise the quality of her voice.

June's eyes widened as he saw her stats paired with the sound of her amazing voice. 

Lee Sik wasn't joking when he said she was the best singer he had ever met. 

Her voice was out of this world! Almost like a siren and an angel combined! 

She finished the song with a proud smile, looking at June like she wanted to teach him a lesson. 

"That's how a great singer sounds," she boasted. "You sounded like a meek little sheep just now. I don't take little sheep as my students. So, go home and think about your career. Oh, wait? You're an idol, right? Then, I guess you don't have to worry. Just continue looking pretty for the camera, and your audience will continue supporting you." 

June frowned at the old woman's discriminatory words. 

"Being an idol is so much more than that," he defended. 

Then, he started singing with his heart, trying to get rid of the frustrations he was currently feeling.

"I'm a canvas of dreams, but they paint their own,

Lost in the crowd, just a face unknown.

They say, "Be perfect," but perfect is a lie,

Struggling for attention, under the spotlight." 

June glared at Magic Mama as he continued singing. 

lightsnοvεl "A puppet on strings, they pull every chord,

In a world so loud, my voice is ignored.

They say, "Be grateful," but what for, I ask?

In this sea of neglect, I'm drowning, unmasked."

He ended the song with heavy breaths, still looking into the old woman's eyes. 

The two of them were stuck in silence for quite some time before Magic Mama started clapping, a small smile creeping on her lips. 

June's frown deepened. 

"What are you clapping for?" he snapped. 

"Did that feel good?" she asked. 

June sighed in annoyance. "What do you mean?" 

"You sounded very restricted during the first time you sang. I didn't see much potential in you. However, now I see why Lee Sik had recommended you." 

June's frown lines slowly smoothened. 

Seeing the smile on her face, June's heart felt more at ease. It was as if the scary woman's personality had dialed down by a fraction. 

"Congratulations," she clapped, the smile not leaving her face. "Not many people make it to this part of the test." 

"Test?" June asked. 

She went closer to him and patted his back. 

"You passed the test!"
