From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show
chapter-971

It seemed like everyone, along with their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and landladies, were waiting for DAWN's new teasers.

After Casper's not-so-subtle spoiler, the company announced that DAWN was going to make its debut soon.

And now, nearly everyone in the country was waiting for their concept photos to come out. Even Lena, despite being the CEO of Phoenix Entertainment, was spared from spoiling herself and waited along with the rest of the world for the reveal of DAWN's debut.

People tuned in early, and most of Navel was already spamming the feed. Their team name, DAWN, had been trending ever since they notified the public of the change. Even now, the topic is able to hold the number one spot in South Korea. Aside from that, their new account, which had only been up for a day, garnered six million followers-making them the most quickly followed K-pop group of all time.

- When is it going to come out?

- Things like this come out at midnight!

- Why do they have to post it so late? I don't even stay up this late for schoolwork.

- Anything is worth it with EVE.

- It's DAWN!

- My bad, my bad. I'm still getting used to it!

Jia and her friends had also gathered for the historic moment. After it was announced that EVE was going to debut as a new group with the same members, her group of friends had already started creating theories.

"So, what do you guys want the concept to be?" Jia asked, squeezing her hands in excitement.

"Hmm," Wei hummed, placing her fingers under her chin. "I guess like a macho dancer concept?"

Her friends looked at her like she had lost her mind.

"I swear-you're not normal," Jia said, shaking her head. "What about you, guys?"

Nari smiled. "I kind of want to see them as animals! I think that would be really cool."

Wei raised one eyebrow. "Well, my suggestion definitely sounds better. Do you have a bestiality kink or something?"

Nari tilted her head to the side. "What's that?"

"I guess she's not aware of it," Bora chuckled.

Jia clicked her tongue and nudged Bora's side. "What about you?" she asked. "You have anything in mind?"

Bora shrugged. "Well, since they just came out from Azure, I kind of want them to do a noir concept-you know? Full killer mode and all."

Jian's eyebrows raised in surprise. "That's...actually not a bad idea."

Bora smiled. "I told you I've got my eyes set on making it to Phoenix Entertainment after I graduate."

Jia sighed and nodded. "I wish I could, too."

"You're a Math major," Bora teased, poking her tongue out to tease Jia.

Jia chuckled in amusement. "Anyway," she continued. "Anything DAWN does, I would support it."

Her friends looked at each other before collectively booing. "You're no fun! Come on, tell us what you want their concept to be."

Jia shook her head with a small smile. "There's not a particular one," she said. "Like I said, I'm fine with everything DAWN would put out-especially now that they have more creative freedom in their company."

"However, I've made a list of the possible concepts they might have," she said, suddenly bringing out a small notebook from her back pocket.

"Well, you're prepared," Bora muttered.

"First, a fairy concept," she started off. "Or elves would also be nice. However, OCTA just did that mythical concept a month ago, so that might not be plausible at the moment." "Second, of course, is the obvious bad boy concept. However, they already did that for the title track of the second album."

"Third is what I'm hoping for it to be-a lumberjack concept," she smiled, looking at her friends with wide eyes.

Meanwhile, her group of friends burst into laughter. "Jia is definitely the least normal about

us."

The five ladies weren't the only ones guessing the concept that DAWN was going to partake. With a new name, will they go for a new concept, too? They had a relatively fresh image, and most people wanted them to keep it.

At the same time, though, fans wanted to have a clear distinction between EVE and DAWN, especially now that they were in a new chapter of their lives.

Choi Pablo pouted as he stared at the screen, continuously refreshing. Jenny was by his side, also curious about DAWN's debut.

"You've been huffing and puffing since earlier," Jenny said.

Pablo sighed. "It's because I wasn't the one who they hired to take their concept photos!"

"Nobody even knew they were preparing a new album under Phoenix," Jenny chuckled. "Besides, you've never worked with that company before."

Pablo clicked his tongue. "Whoever owns that company must not like me."

Jenny shook her head in amusement. "Whatever you say," she muttered.

Only a minute left until midnight came-and along with that were DAWN's new concept photos.

Everyone was still arguing about their concept, with most convinced that their prediction

would be right.

- Ah, it's that time of the year again!

- I can't wait to hear theories about their new album.

- I wonder what kind of lore they're going to put out for this debut.

- I'm convinced they're going to have a full, sexy concept! -Thirty seconds! I repeat, thirty seconds left until midnight strikes!

- I feel like Cinderella right now.

People refreshed their screens, waiting for the photos to pop up. They didn't know what to expect. Would it be a group photo? Or would the individual photos come out first?

Their questions were answered right away as the first set of photos came out.

Then, the words "From Eve to Dawn" were the first ones that they saw, followed by June's ethereal-looking photos.

The album name itself was already ingenious. Aside from that, June's face was enough to save the whole of humanity! However, after getting past those two, the concept that DAWN had chosen suddenly became evident, making most of the fans confused.

- I mean, June looks pretty, but what is he?

- I think he's a...gangster?
