From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-877

877 The Cast Members

Casper could feel the heat in the air before he even took his first step out of the cardboard box. As soon as the box flaps were pulled back, the sunlight hit Casper's face, and the cameras zoomed in to capture the moment. "There's our man!" Zeth exclaimed as soon as he was revealed. He nodded in approval at his outfit—a leather jacket. HIS leather jacket, to be exact. Casper adjusted the jacket that Zeth had insisted he wear. Zeth told him that he should make the best first impression since it was the one that stuck the most. And, as it turned out, Zeth was right. Posts from Naver started pouring in, each one more enthusiastic than the last.

- Omo! It's Casper from EVE!

- So, that's why my boyfriend is gone! He went on the show without telling me. - Why does he look so scrumptious in the middle of nowhere? - Is it fair to look like that so early in the morning? The production crew was also satisfied. Even with only the first member, there was already some buzz about the show. Casper pursed his lips to hide his smile, knowing that he looked damn good. But before he could fully bask in the attention, another box was opened, and Casper's eyes widened in surprise as he saw who it was. Haruki of CHAOS stepped out, his appearance causing another wave of reactions online.

EVE and CHAOS had met once more.

Casper turned to Haruki, his eyes still wide with surprise, but his lips curved into a small smile. Haruki also turned to him with a smile. Somehow, though, Haruki was hoping that another member of EVE would show up. The unexpected reunion of two powerhouse groups was already causing a stir, with some commenting how they were glad to see them together after 'King of Kings.'

- They really did it—EVE and CHAOS together.

- Casper and Haruki? This is going to be insane! - What's the freaking budget for this show? How can they afford them? - In the first season, only half of the stars could be considered 'famous.' However, with two people in, I can already tell that they're putting the first season's money to good use! Then, the third box opened, and the atmosphere changed again. A woman stepped out, her presence instantly lighting up the area. It was Mimi, her fresh idol visuals making the production crew cheer. The viewers at home responded just as enthusiastically.

- It's Mimi! She's so bright!

- She's like a ray of sunshine! Nico, who was unfortunately not invited to the show, cheered by himself in their shared apartment. At first, he was hesitant to let her go. However, knowing that this would be a boost to her career (and that June wouldn't be there), he let her grab the opportunity. Mimi's entrance was like a breath of fresh air, her smile infectious as she waved at the cameras. Nico watched her, his heart beating inside her chest. But the surprises weren't over yet. The fourth box revealed another woman—this time, someone no one had expected. - I told you! The budget goes big on this one. - Freak. She's so beautiful. - I love all of her shows. - The number of viewers increased once again! Hana Lim, the A-list actress, stepped out, looking stunning in a pink dress that glowed under the sunlight. Her appearance created chaos even among the staff members, her beauty undeniable even in such a simple setting.

Hana glanced at Mimi and smiled, a gesture that was simple but full of warmth. "Maybe I should have gone," Akira muttered, suddenly regretting it. "Boy, it's not like you can just go," Ren said. "You weren't invited in the first place." Akira clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes at his member. Just when everyone thought they had seen it all, the fifth box was opened, and another surprise was revealed. Akira stopped sulking as soon as he saw the next member. "Ha! He's also here?" It was Choi Pablo, the flamboyant photographer that everyone (maybe except for June) loved. He was originally known for being mysterious, especially when it came to his work. But ever since he launched his YouWatch channel, his personality has won over even more fans.

- Pablo! I can't believe he's here. - Is he going to take photos during the show?

- I sure hope so. There are way too many beautiful people here for him not to take photos. "Hello, everyone!" he exclaimed, but the production crew told him to be quiet. Meanwhile, June, who was at the farthest box, felt like he heard someone familiar. However, it was gone in a second, making him frown. The sixth person to be revealed was Jisung. He stepped out of his box with a shy wave, instantly melting hearts with his adorable persona. The comments went wild with the arrival of a second member from EVE. - Jisung's so cute! I can't handle it!

- Two members of EVE! This show is going to be legendary! Haruki pursed his lips as soon as he saw him. Well, there goes his hope! There was no way that three members of EVE would be on the show. "My son is so cute," Ren sobbed as he looked at Jisung on the screen. "It felt like yesterday when he can't even go out of the house without looking like he wants to cry!" Then, the seventh box opened, and a figure with icy white hair emerged. It was Uno, the center of OCTA. His hair was now grown out, giving him an ethereal look that made him appear like he wasn't from Earth. - Uno! He looks like an elf! - OCTA's center is here too? This is insane! Jisung's eyes widened, and he quickly bowed at Uno. "It's been a while," he said. Uno pursed his lips and nodded. "Hmm." Jaeyong, watching from the comfort of their dorm, couldn't help but comment, "There seems to be a pattern here…" But before he could think too much about it, the next reveal interrupted his thoughts.

Mei of LUNAIRE stepped out, the eighth participant in the show. Her members, watching from their dorm, cheered loudly, proud that she was representing them.

"She's the only one who could do this show!" Ara exclaimed. "Go and eat those bugs, girl!" "She's here, too?" Mimi muttered, also sensing some kind of pattern. Then, it was time for the ninth reveal. It was one that took everyone by surprise. "What is he doing here again?" "He's back?" - Joonie! Have you guys noticed the pattern?
