From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show-Chapter 943 You’re Always Right
943 You're Always Right
Lena arrived at their house the morning after, looking like hell had bent her over. Just then, someone spoke, making her already bad morning even worse. "Well, you look like a train wreck." She lifted her head and saw June lounging on their couch. He was watching the morning news, and he turned it down as Lena stood on the bean bag next to him. "What are you doing here?" she asked, not even having the energy to reprimand him. "Minjun called me," June answered. "He told me he didn't want to feel alone, and since I knew you would have a great night, I decided to join him here." Lena shook her head. "I regret everything. I really do." "Helping me?" he asked with a chuckle, expecting her to agree. However, she suddenly shook her head, taking June by surprise. "No—for dating that stupid guy." June's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Oh," he said. "That quick?" "I asked the question," she started off. "Oof, that's rough," June said. "Did he say how much he hated children?" June knew from the very start that Lei had skewed values. However, as soon as he came to Korea, he changed his image. So, he wasn't sure that he would reveal his true colors. However, in the end, someone's real self really showed in the bed. "Not only that," Lena added. "He said inappropriate things about single mothers—about how they deserve it and everything!" June covered his mouth to stifle a chuckle. Oh, if Lei only knew. "You think this is funny?" Lena asked. June shook her head and behaved in his seat. "Pardon," he said. "Please continue." "He has the guts to say stuff like those when he can't even satisfy me in bed!" At that moment, Minjun was walking down the stairs to grab breakfast. However, as soon as he heard his mother's words, he shook his head. "Well," he muttered. "I guess I should sleep again." With that, he trudged up the stairs and allowed June and her mom to talk about adult things. June couldn't contain his laughter anymore. He guffawed, slapping his lap as he continued to listen to Lena's rant. "He was only thinking about himself! He continued on and on without asking me if I felt good," she continued. "I didn't even feel it! I think my deodorant is bigge—" "Alright, that's enough," June said, cutting her off. "I don't want to hear it." "In conclusion," he added. "He's not the ideal guy you painted in your mind, huh?" Lena nodded and slumped on the bean bag. "Far from it," she muttered. June smirked and glanced at the television. Then, he smirked when he saw a familiar face. "Perfect," he muttered. He grabbed the remote and turned the volume up. "And he just got worse," June said, nodding toward the television. Lena lifted her head and looked at the television. "Good evening, viewers. We're coming to you live with breaking news. An exclusive report has just been released concerning Phoenix Entertainment, shedding light on shocking allegations of corruption, employee discrimination, and molestation. The report also implicates former trainees in these disturbing revelations." "This comprehensive investigation into Phoenix Entertainment has revealed a troubling history, especially concerning their current CEO, Mr. Young Do Kim. A single source has come forward detailing instances of financial misconduct, unfair treatment of employees based on gender and ethnicity, and even allegations of molestation involving past trainees—one of which includes one of the hottest stars of the generation who is also battling his own allegations—Choi Joon-ho." Lena softly gasped. "So far, Phoenix Entertainment has not issued an official statement in response to the allegations. However, our sources indicate that legal actions may be imminent as the authorities are reportedly looking into these claims."
"The future of Phoenix Entertainment remains uncertain as the public outcry grows and some stakeholders demand accountability. With mounting pressure from both the public and regulatory bodies, the entertainment industry is closely watching to see how this unfolds." "We will continue to monitor this developing story closely. For now, back to the studio."
June lowered the volume once more and turned to Lena with a mischievous glint in his eyes. It didn't even appear like he felt bad for such sensitive information under his name being released in the media. "So," June said. "Do you believe me now?" ***
"Genius!" Lei exclaimed as he held onto Dan's shoulders. "You're really a genius. Everyone is eating it up! This is the start of Phoenix's downfall. I'm sure the 'head' of Phoenix will reveal himself sooner or later!" Dan chuckled and sheepishly scratched the back of his neck. He was still a little bit perplexed. He was awoken at dawn by none other than Lei, and he continually thanked him, saying that he did a great job finding 'new' information. Yet, Dan didn't know what information he was referring to! However, hearing Lei so excited made Dan feel that it was good news. In the end, he just grabbed the credit. "What did I tell you, sir?" Dan asked with squared shoulders. "I would find the 'head' for you!"
"I know," Lei chuckled. "I thought you were useless after that blunder with Kwan, but I was mistaken. I should give you a bonus once all of this is done." Dan beamed. There was no way he was going to let go of the credit now! Dan had released the contents of the file, and he couldn't believe how comprehensive it was. It felt as if it had been done by someone who had studied the entertainment industry for a long time. He wondered who was truly behind such information. However, for now, he was going to bask in the glory. "But sir," Dan continued. "Don't you think releasing the information about June would be beneficial for him? What if the public will pity him?" Lei clicked his tongue. "That doesn't matter," he said. "In the end, June isn't my ultimate goal. He's just the person I want to destroy along the way." "This revelation will truly let him gain the empathy of his fans. However, it won't take away his accountability for what he is being accused of." "Moreover, our society will not care about a male victim. Most would say that he should have wanted it." "So, June doesn't stand a chance against the wrath of the public." "His career will soon be forgotten—and this is how he will be remembered."
This is similar to Goo Hara's case. She was a very brave soul who was a victim of revenge tapes. In the end, she was the one scrutinized. May they rest in peace. SandKastle
