From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 117 Concept Mission (2)

The trainees couldn't help but feel excited as the next song came on. The first four songs already exceeded their expectations, and they were having a hard time picking from the song choices.

However, when the next producer came on the screen, there seemed to be a collective agreement from all the trainees.

The screen displayed the name "PCatt," which caused gasps of anticipation and excitement to fill the air.

Even June knew who he was.

Hit songs from well-known K-pop idols have mostly been produced by PCatt. "RNA by BTC, Flinch Mode by NCITI NIGHTMARE, Masochist by RED POLYESTER, and Super Confident by OLDSWEATS" were only some songs from his discography.

Minho and Hyerin grinned as they watched the trainees, completely aware of the reaction the name had garnered. Even idols like Hyerin aspired to perform a song by PCatt.

"Hello, it's PCatt, and I'm here to introduce you to my song—'Skateboard Ride.'"

PCatt's assistant took the opportunity to explain the song through the screen. "PCatt's signature style shines through in 'Skateboard Ride.' It's a true pop sound that feels both nostalgic and incredibly modern. The song captures the essence of today's K-pop hits, blending catchy melodies with a touch of familiarity that's sure to resonate with listeners."

The screen displayed the title of the song, and the room buzzed with excitement, recognizing the name "PCatt" as a ticket to the industry.?Even the start of the choreography already appeared to be a hit move!

The assistant continued, "The choreography for 'Skateboard Ride' is nothing short of addictive. It's a combination of smooth moves and powerful gestures that perfectly complement the song's upbeat tempo. Moreover, it portrays the cool lifestyle of a skater, but that "coolness" always seem to fall flat whenever his love interest is near. It's a cool song that speaks of a clumsy experience."

PCatt added, "The choreography plays with the concept of a skateboard ride, incorporating fluid gliding motions and playful footwork. You'll also find moments of synchronized moves that highlight the unity of your team."

The screen played the choreography of the chorus, and the room was instantly filled with an energy that was hard to contain. The trainees watched in awe as the dancers on the screen executed the intricate steps with precision and flair. The choreography felt like a ride itself, with seamless transitions between dynamic group formations and solo moments that allowed each trainee to shine.

"This is it," Zeth exclaimed, completely enamored by the pop song. "It has to be this."

"Damn," C-Jay said. "I want to perform this one."

"I like this song a lot," Akira said in exasperation. "It has equal song and rap parts. I can already imagine myself performing it."

Jisung nodded as the song finished. He was also determined to perform this one.

Jangmoon screamed out loud. "This is mine!"

June's demeanor remained composed, but a spark of something ignited within him as he contemplated the opportunity to prove himself on a stage that was, quite literally, a skateboard ride toward success.?Out of all the songs, June liked this one the most. However, it seemed like a lot of trainees also anticipated being picked for this song.

PCatt definitely outdid himself with this one.

Even after the teaser was shown, the trainees couldn't stop talking about it.

'Skateboard Ride' left such a huge impression on the trainees that the sixth song was completely overshadowed.

However, their attention was captured once more when the last song was presented. The title: 'Tie Me Up' by GROOVYTUNES was shown on?screen.

The last producer was GROOVYTUNES — the well-known rap producer duo. As judges on the rap show "Show Me The Penny," the two have garnered attention from rap-enthusiasts and the public alike.

Now, whatever song they put out, it was a guaranteed hit in the K-hip-hop world. "Hokey Pokey by SICKO, Instapic by BEAN, GottaSundae by BEHOW, and Peter Dominic by PETER DOMINIC," were all produced by them.

"Woah, what the hell?" Jaeyong exclaimed through his calm demeanor. "How much budget does Azure have in this season? They've brought out the best producers for these songs."

"This is bound to be good," Akira said. "But I don't rap."

"My mind is set on a Skateboard Ride, though," Zeth said. "I can't have any other song."

With the excitement still lingering in the air, the song played through the high-quality speakers.

June was surprised when he heard the sexy song intro. It was slow, sensual, and felt a bit dangerous. It had a very different vibe compared to the rest of the songs—one that would be hard to pull off.

GROOVYTUNES' voices resonated through the room. "This song takes a unique approach. It's heavily focused on rhythmical rap, with the chorus being the main vocal part. The addicting, sexy intro sets the tone, drawing you in with a strong rap that demands attention."

The song was very rap-heavy.

Almost all of the verses, and even the bridge, were centered around rap. The chorus, too, despite having a "vocal" undertone, felt more like "singing rap."

The choreography, however, was a whole other story. It was definitely on the sexier side...with the dancers embodying the title—'Tie Me Up.' With the red lights and revealing outfits, it felt like they were in a BDSM club.

As the song continued, June frowned when some of the parts weren't filled with lyrics.

GROOVYTUNES quickly explain the situation.

"But here's the catch – some parts of the song are intentionally missing. The essence of a rapper lies in their ability to fill in the blanks with their own style and flow. So, we're giving this chance to have the performing trainees incorporate their own rap verses into the song."

A murmur of surprise and excitement swept through the room. The people who originally wanted to perform the song were now skeptical. They had to learn new choreography, embody the song, and write rap verses all at the same time?

No thanks.

June, too, wanted to avoid this song at all costs.

It ticked off all the things he couldn't do:

1. Rap

2. Write a rap verse

3. Be sexy

So, all in all, it was a song he definitely couldn't perform.
