From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 610 Out and About

June was dumbfounded as he stared at the post that Haruki had made.

Out of all the people in the world, Haruki was the most unexpected person to help him!

...and that worked out great in the end.

June and Haruki were known to be 'hostile enemies,' so the fact that Haruki was the one who debunked the rumor increased its credibility.

If a person who hated June was defending him, then the public had more reason to believe in the post.

June took a closer look at the photo and shook his head.

The person in the photo wasn't even Haruki, but Haruto. The twins must have planned something to help him.

He also saw the post that Choi Pablo had made—which included the front view of the photo of him and Jenny kissing.

In the photo that was posted by the anonymous user, June appeared sweet and loving. However, in the one that Pablo posted, he looked outright disgusted—a very fitting reaction for someone who was just kissed by his cousin.

June wondered why Pablo had only posted it recently, but it still worked out in the end.

In reality, Pablo was jealous when he saw the post saying that June was dating someone. And to think they even kissed inside his studio building! He planned on talking to June after he got his feelings sorted out, but then he saw that it was actually Jenny, his assistant, and June's cousin. So, he went through his high-definition surveillance cameras and captured a screen.

June smiled as he read through the comments.

- I swallow my words.

- I insulted June's cousin. I am ashamed.

- I followed you again, June!

- I never doubted you for a second.

- The photos look so cute! They appear to be really close with each other.

- I never knew I needed to see June with his family <3. He rarely talks about them.

- Because his parents are dead.

- June, I'm sorry! I'm not going to leave your side from now on.

- Shaking my head. People are so quick to switch up. You just join the bandwagon as you see fit, huh? What a bunch of hypocrites.

For what seemed to be the hundredth time in the week, June was trending yet again.

However, it was for a good reason this time. People were truly easy to manipulate. They jump on the bandwagon in order to feel like they 'belong' in society, and now that there was a lot of praise for June, others who hated him naturally joined to praise him as well.

Lin Zhi's hand shook as he observed June's elated facial expression. He looked way too happy for his liking, and he hated it.

Just then, the door opened, revealing Director Jam, who appeared more serious than ever.

The actors straightened up as soon as they saw him, the room turning silent as they sensed the coldness from his disposition.

He looked around until his eyes landed on June.

"Good, you're all here," he muttered.

Then, he cleared his throat. "Conference room—now," he briefly said before leaving the tent once more.

The others gulped since they weren't used to seeing Director Jam so calm and serious. They didn't waste any time in following after him, lining up like little ducklings.

They arrived at the conference hall, with Director Bong standing in the very middle.

June looked around and saw that almost all of the crew members were already inside, wondering why they were all gathered.

"What's happening? I'm lost."

"I think we're going to talk about June's issue and if he's still going to be Jian or not."

"Dang. In front of everyone? That's tough."

"It's been debunked, though. Haruki from CHAOS already confirmed that it was June's cousin in the photo."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but Director Jam doesn't change his mind. So, he might still get kicked out of the production even if it had already been debunked."

Director Jam looked around the room, his eyebrows furrowing when he couldn't see his partner director.

Just then, the door opened, and Director Bong sighed in relief once he saw the actors and staff inside the room.

"There you guys are," he said. "I was starting to think that the shoot was canceled today," he chuckled.

However, his smile quickly fell when he saw June among the crowd.

His eyes narrowed in suspicion. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

June merely crossed his arms in front of his chest, not wanting to reply to such a shitty person.

"Answer me," Director Bong said. However, June remained firm.

Director Jam sighed.

"Let's start the meeting," he said, dampening Director Bong's anger.

Director Bong clicked his tongue and went beside Director Jam.

"Let me start off this meeting by saying that a movie production doesn't solely focus on the story, the acting, and the editing," he said.

"However, it also branches out to reputation. Everyone in this room can affect how the public views this movie," he continued.

Director Bong nodded by his side, agreeing with everything that Jam had said.

"Therefore, I hope you understand that your contract for the movie can be terminated for reasons that could harm the reputation of the film."

"I agree. I agree," Director Bong said.

June's eyebrows furrowed, glancing at his phone which showed Minjun's page and refreshed it over and over again.

He clicked his tongue when he saw that Minjun hadn't posted what he had sent him just yet.

"That is why, before the production progresses any further, I want to take this time to remove such people who only cause harm to this movie," he said, looking around the room until his eyes landed on June.

June pursed his lips since he couldn't read the director's mind.

Director Bong chuckled as he looked at June.

"Since we don't want to shame the person who has done such a thing, I would like to ask that certain person to simply stand and leave the room," Director Jam said, making almost all of the people turn towards June.

Lin Zhi now had a smirk on his face, certain that Director Jam was pertaining to June.

However, June stood his ground and kept sitting. For him, he didn't do anything wrong. His dating news was already considered debunked! And if he was indeed dating somebody, he still believed it wouldn't be too big of a deal.

Director Bong scoffed and shook his head as June continued sitting.

Hana nudged June's shoulder, but still, June was firm.

Director Bong cleared his throat and leaned his elbows against the table.

"June," he said. "You need to leave."

June lifted his head and met eyes with Director Bong.

Then, at that moment, he felt his phone vibrate, and the post he was waiting for finally appeared.

His eyes brightened as he stood, determined to show the proof to everybody else.

However, before he could utter a single word, Director Jam spoke once again.

"You need to leave," he coldly said, making Director Bong smirk in satisfaction.

"Leave now..." Director Jam repeated, his eyes straying away from June and landing on the man right next to him.

"...Bong Gwan."
