Previously on "Joon's Life is a Never-Ending Comedy":
Joon accidentally became a meme.
CEO Kang turned him into a brand.
He's now forced to appear on a variety show with Minho and Mirae.
The system is enjoying his suffering.
And now, Joon is about to experience live TV chaos.

D-Day: The Variety Show Begins!
Joon sat in the waiting room, staring at his reflection in the mirror.
Joon: "Okay, Joon. Deep breaths. You've faced worse. You were an OSCAR-WINNING ACTOR in your past life! THIS IS NOTHING!"
System: [Reminder: You also tripped on stage at your own award show.]
Joon: "WHO ASKED YOU?!"
Just then, the door burst open.
Mirae, dressed like a superstar, winked at Joon. "Oppa~ let's make this fun, okay?"
Joon: "Please don't."
Minho entered next, arms crossed, looking like a mafia boss ready to end someone. "Stay close to me, Joon."
Joon: "WHY DOES THAT SOUND THREATENING?!"
Before he could process his impending doom, the staff called them in.

The Variety Show Begins!
The set was massive—bright lights, cameras everywhere, and a cheerful host waiting to grill them.
Host: "Welcome, everyone! Today, we have three rising stars joining us—Minho, Mirae, and the man of the hour, JOON!"
The audience erupted in cheers and laughter.
Joon: "I feel like a sacrificial lamb."
Host: "Joon, you've been trending non-stop! How does it feel to be K-pop's most relatable trainee?"
Joon forced a smile. "It feels… like I need a lawyer."
The audience HOWLED with laughter.
Minho and Mirae? Watching him like predators.

Round 1: The Lie Detector Test
Host: "Let's start with a fun game—THE LIE DETECTOR!"
Joon: "I DON'T LIKE THIS GAME."
Too late. They strapped him in.
Host: "Okay, Joon. First question… Do you have a crush on anyone in this room?"
Joon: "NO."
BZZZZT! (LIE DETECTED.)
The audience: "OOOOHHH!"
Mirae smirked. "Who is it, Joon-oppa~?"
Minho leaned forward. "You should answer, Joon."
Joon: "I CHOOSE SILENCE."

Round 2: Minho vs. Mirae (AGAIN?!)
Host: "Alright, time for a quick Q&A! Fans sent in some… interesting questions."
Joon: "Please don't."
Host: "First question: Mirae, if Joon was a food, what would he be?"
Mirae giggled. "Spicy tteokbokki! Because he pretends to be cool but is actually soft inside~"
Joon: "I FEEL CALLED OUT."
Host: "Minho, your turn! If Joon was an animal, what would he be?"
Minho smirked. "A cat. Independent, sassy, but secretly wants attention."
Joon: "WHY DOES THAT SOUND SO ACCURATE?!"
Host: "Now, Joon, who would you rather be stuck on a deserted island with—Minho or Mirae?"
Joon, panicking:
1. Pick Minho → Mirae will kill him.
2. Pick Mirae → Minho will kill him.
3. Jump into the ocean.
Joon: "I choose… THE SYSTEM!"
System: [Request denied.]
Joon: "YOU TRAITOR!"

Meanwhile, Backstage…
Minho smirked. "You looked cute today, Joon."
Joon choked on air. "WHAT?!"
Mirae crossed her arms. "Tch. You're not stealing my screen time, Minho."
