Debut or Die - Chapter 108
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 108 The
stage was still dark.
On the stage without lights, a subtle and heavy bass sound resounded as if a dull machine was moving.
DOON DOON DOON DOON DOON DOON DOON DOON
Most of the fans have already listened to it because they were streaming, but the power of listening to it on set was different.
Tension was created at a faster-than-expected tempo.
And on top of that, the electric sound was plugged in.
Dvvvviiiiii-!
It was the thunderous riff melody that appeared in the trailer.
Then, as if startled by thunder, lights came on like lightning on the stage.
A stage set resembling a back alley in a sci-fi game was revealed under the pale lighting without a hint of yellow. However, school props such as desks and blackboards were placed here and there as if they were thrown away.
Testa turned around and looked in different directions.
Cha Yu-jin slowly turned her head and turned forward.
-Do not trust it
There no justice
Oooohh—.
The moment the low singing rap ends, the riff melody disappears.
And on the spot, Moombahton unfolded.
The first dance break was prematurely entered at a dangerous level with a sense of rhythm but not excitement.
It was a slightly mechanical choreography centered on Cha Yoo-jin.
And the moment Cha Yoo-jin disappeared behind Dae-hyung, the song started.
-Looking back, I can’t figure out
what happened
Umm
-Target Target Target
GOT IT
It was a completely different vocal melody from the trailer song
as it ran and grabbed it .
The reason is unknown, but this sub song ‘Better Me’ seems to have been sampled from the song in the trailer.
However, this was a trendy dance song that seemed much more like an idol.
Thanks to that, Testa on stage was almost flying.
It was a composition that made me wonder if there was room to breathe.
-This clear feeling
(It won’t be erased, it won’t be forgotten)
Even now, I know
(I got that CODE)
The moment we enter the pre-chorus, the vocals of Kim Rae-bin and Keun Se-jin cross over and spread.
The two parted ways after performing a somewhat radical pair choreography that seemed to grab each other.
And the second pre-chorus part.
Park Moon-dae came out and the electric sound of the trailer suddenly returned.
And even the lyrics similar to the trailer came out.
-I will never die
Like I did before
I’m gonna keep ME
Alive-!
The treble went up clearly.
The trailer and vocal melody were completely different, but the level of difficulty was indisputable.
And Moondae Park sang this high note all along with the dynamic choreography that comes out by intertwining with other members.
It’s also in a slightly gloomy mood.
‘and… … .’
Rabin Kim’s fans forgot to cheer and admired him as if they were watching a contest program, but soon regained consciousness and focused on the stage.
Finally, Kim Rae-bin appeared in the chorus!
Kim Rae-bin sang the chorus slightly melancholy with a staring look.
-BUT.
It’s just confusing
I’m just confused
Umm
I don’t know
how far it goes.
The chorus returned to Moombahton and was sparsely woven with flowing, low-pitched vocals and crisp beats.
And Ryu Cheng-wu came out and took over the next chorus.
-Could be confusing
What you want
May be confused
Umm
The lyrics and atmosphere were like wandering about
how to do it , but somehow it was meaningful and abstract.
Thanks to the harmony of the stage, choreography, and costumes, the stage looked like a wandering experience in a dystopian worldview, not reality.
Thanks to this, the neon signs and devices that could be distracting, on the contrary, saved the slightly melancholic taste at the center of the intense song.
-Take me and get that might As
soon as the melodious chorus ends, the choreography for the second verse with Cha Yoo-jin’s rap that seems to shoot like a shot becomes more intense and complex.
-This distant feeling
(trying to erase and forget)
But I know
(I got that CODE)
As if climbing endlessly toward the point of exploding, components continued to be added to the accompaniment and the beat became more and more intense.
And the moment when the chorus bursts through the bridge.
Instead of dropping the song, all accompaniments were removed. And only that intense riff melody returned alone.
Dvvvviiiiii~!
And in a situation where there was no beat, the last chorus burst out competing only with the riff melody.
-BUT.
It’s NOT confusing!
Who I am
I’m NOT confused
Oh!
BETTER ME to be found
Moondae Park, who received vocals from Ryu Chung-woo, captured the sound by filming the last super high note.
It was so loud that the AR could not be heard properly.
‘omg!’
The audience cheered internally.
When I listened to the sound source, both the riff melody and the voice were clear, so I got tired after listening to it a few times, but seeing it on stage was extremely dramatic.
In addition, Moombahton, which started again right after, stuck to my ears.
-BETTER ME
Big Sejin with a big smile jumped out to the center during the final dance break.
And the accompaniment of the first dance break was changed.
As if the conflict had been resolved, a lighter and more upbeat atmosphere continued.
However, the choreography was more impressive in terms of difficulty and spectacle because the section where the feet were moved increased and became extravagant.
-BETTER ME
It wasn’t until the end of the song that the song was finished by singing the title that jumped out as a variation hook.
And the internal shouts immediately burst out.
“Waaaaaagh!!!”
“Ahhh!!”
“oh my god!!”
The sub-song stage, which seemed to be shouted out for performance by anyone, was a great composition that made both the fun of watching and the fun of listening.
Even better was that we would be re-recording it so we could see this stage several more times in the future!
Testa staggered and gasped for breath as if she was running out of breath at the song that had no structure to rest, then waved her hand in gratitude.
Some members fanned themselves by holding up techwear props as if it was too hot.
And after a while, Liu Cheng-wu spoke to the staff.
“Hoo-wook… After the next take… … yes? Like this?”
Testa’s expression brightened.
“Wow, we did it all at once!”
It was a sentence like a thunderstorm.
‘no!!’
Even the rehearsal was finished beforehand to check the equipment, so the only thing fans could see was that stage!
But, of course, there was no turnaround. Testa belatedly figured out the situation and made a fuss.
“Director, don’t you think we got our voices wrong?”
“I didn’t see the camera!”
But not even the seeds were eaten. Thanks to that, they were sorry and disappeared after performing aegyo or dancing.
“… … .”
So, the fans came out of the recording studio 20 minutes after entering.
The only thing in their hands was cream bread and Americano from a restaurant that Testa had prepared.
‘… Raebin Kim!! Park Moondae!! Who says he’s so good!!’
Kim Rae-bin’s fan tore off the cream bread without knowing what he was thinking.
It was delicious, so I got more pissed off.
* * *
That evening, Testa’s sub song and title song stages all finally got on the first broadcast.
Perhaps because the head of the headquarters flew away and there were a lot of recent incidents, the company gave me time to sleep while I was active.
Thanks to that, I was able to see the reaction of the first stage at midnight on the same day at the dorm.
Of course, there were a lot of views on the title on YouTube and other sites, but when I went to social media and communities, the reaction to the sub song was almost the same.
I clicked on a post with over 500 comments.

[Testa’s sub song]
: (SNS video link)
I just came out to a music night, and honestly, the stage reaction was better than the title. ————
=
-This is really for the public
-It’s hard
-He’s good at it;
-The sound source is much better than the title, but I think I can understand why this was chosen as a sub song
.
└ㅇㅇ It’s completely live
-It’s almost like lip-sync hahaha Park Moondae’s part has a lot of AR flavor It’s like Azusa’s too └hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
(video link removed from MR)
-The stage is really good, but what the hell are the lyrics talking about? └We don’t know either, but Kim Raebin wrote
the lyrics.
I’ll come to W Live in a little while and talk about it
. Occasionally, there is an aggro of throwing it and seeing it, but that’s what they always appear.
Of course, among those comments, I also found the story I expected.
-Wow, if Moondae Park is blonde, he’ll come back. -Is
he really Moondae Park with platinum blonde hair? Huh, Moondae Park in my head is frozen in the picture of Azusa Please, but something happened.
-Mundae
is really handsome
. Wee? With that face and singing like that, I think it must have won first place;;
└ This is the guy who poured broadcasting water into his mouth with a water purifier. Don’t be fooled
.
‘It’s worth taking.’
Of course, the reaction of doubt also popped up, but it did not develop further from there.
It’s because the players laid the groundwork.
– Hmmmm, appearance change… It’s not worth it
└ He said he changed the shop
└ How do you know that?
└ Behind the scenes of the comeback Dub Live
└ Aha oops
– If your face changes after you change a shop, I will go to that shop too
└ Surprisingly, this is a common occurrence for idols who wear stage makeup…
└ㅋWho is it?
└I know because the idol I sold changed shops and went bankrupt
└Sorry;
Hmm, as expected, a good excuse came in, so I rubbed it in moderation and moved on.
‘It was fortunate that the company was slowly trying to change shops.’
Thanks to that, I was able to raise my appearance to A- without difficulty.
And why did you take a picture of your appearance… … This is because Ryu Chung-woo, who was recently a B+, went up to an A-.
… … After suffering so much during Azusa, it seemed that the aftermath had disappeared. I can see that my eyesight has improved.
Anyway, if this flow continues, I think I’ll be left alone as B, and I’ll be able to capture and compare the moment, so I invested now at the right timing.
‘It was a good choice.’
Oh, the other one was taken on the song and made it an A+.
As I kept practicing the last chorus of that sub song, I had a strong feeling that one day my throat would go out, so I couldn’t help it.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate, but.’
Actually, it was because I felt like I could naturally upload my singing voice if I waited a little longer. However, I couldn’t help it because the comeback was right around the corner.
‘I’ll have to save the remaining points as planned.’
I shrugged and turned off my phone. I had to go to bed right away because my schedule started tomorrow as well close to dawn.
‘Let’s look at the reaction to the title song more tomorrow.’
And while waiting for the music broadcast the next day and looking at the reaction of the title song, I heard the strange news.
“You guys got a variety shooting next week~”
“Oh~”
“Where are you?”
“I hate birds.”
The manager gave a thumbs up amidst the trembling reactions that couldn’t escape the afterimage of < A Man Who Only Says Verse 1 >.
“It’s an entertainment show where you ride a horse and shoot an arrow!!”
“… … !”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Liu Cheng-wu.
