GANGSTER IDOL SURVIVAL SYSTEM

Chapter 148: Puberty Crack

The stage is set, and a hush falls over the audience as the first team, 'Sweet as Sugar,' stepped into the spotlight. Akira, their leader, took center stage, a soft smile on his face.

The crowd cheered loudly when Akira was shown on screen. During the first part of the competition, Akira was the least famous trainee from RAVEN.

However, as time progressed, Akira quickly rose to fame, and that was evident in the loud cheers he gathered from the crowd.

"He has improved so much," Jihyun said. "I'm glad he rediscovered his confidence."

"It's like I'm watching the past Akira on stage," Hyerin said. "He looks very happy."

As he began to sing, his voice was as sweet as the title suggests. The melody is lovely, and the atmosphere in the studio instantly became romantic.

As the song progressed, the team's choreography was impeccable. They moved in perfect harmony, executing each dance move with precision. The audience can't help but be impressed by their synchronized performance, and cheers of support were heard in the crowd.

However, as the love song unfolded, there were moments that elicited cringes from the audience. Some of the trainees, while talented, struggled to convey the genuine emotions required for such an intimate performance. Their attempts at portraying romantic chemistry occasionally came off as awkward, drawing nervous chuckles from the spectators.

"That guy looks cheesy as hell."

"I have to give it to him, though. I'll be cringing HARD if that was me."

However, despite these cringy moments, Team Sweet as Sugar finished their performance on a strong note, with Akira delivering a cute ending.

The audience and mentors clapped as their performance finished.

For the first time in the show, the judges were going to publicly critique the performances.

"It was really good," Kiera said. "It was better than I had expected, and I'm happy that you took my advice well. If you were given more time, then it would have been a better performance."

"It was a concept made for Akira," Gun said. "You really brought something to the table this time."

"I agree," Jihyun said. "He stood out the most among all the trainees—which can both be a good and bad thing. Some trainees didn't embody the song, so it felt pretty forced on some of the parts. Nonetheless, it was still a good performance."

"I cringed," Sun-Y said, always wanting to criticize something.

With both joy and disappointment in their hearts, the team made their way down the stage.

The performances continued, showcasing the different genres and talents of the trainees.

'Brown Sugar Milktea' and 'Break My Heart' undoubtedly had the best responses so far, and they quickly became the front runners for the 200,000 star benefit.

Now, it was time for the next team to perform—Team Lightning performing 'Thunder.'

Jangmoon, who had gotten more comfortable with the stage, entered with steady breathing. Beside him was Xin, the overly confident trainee who bagged the Main Vocalist position despite being a new member.

Jangmoon was supposed to become the Main Vocalist after their teammate was eliminated. However, with Xin's reasoning as a new member, he snatched it out of Jangmoon's grasp.
