Debut or Die - Chapter 112
for episode 112 of
BETTER ME, I can see Park Moon-dae’s face staring at the camera.
It is the appearance of a purple eyelight trailer with a black hood.
[…] … .]
Moondae Park reached out for the camera without saying a word.
and manipulated the camera.
Click.
support position.
As the video rewinds, scenes from the trailer begin to pass backwards.
water tank. sewer. Mannequin Falling Gun. biohazard mark.
And the screen finally began to show a worn-out cloth doll with cogwheels.
The rewind stopped there.
And the song started.
-Do not trust it
There no justice
Oooohh… .
At that moment, the cut changed to Cha Yoo-jin, who was holding a clean, like-new doll instead of an old cloth doll.
And the screen was pushed all the way and I took a full shot of the entire surroundings.
It was an ordinary classroom with students taking classes. And I saw Testa members sitting all over the classroom. Everyday expressions and appearances as if they were attending class were caught on camera.
However, immediately after, when the rhythmic Moombahton accompaniment began to play, the atmosphere in the classroom changed completely.
support position.
All the students except for Testa disappeared and an X was written on each desk with luminous paint for graffiti.
Then, an intense group choreography cut in a dark classroom began.
-Even looking back, I can’t figure out
what happened
Umm
Between the choreography scenes, cuts were inserted where the members were alone in distinctive places such as the school’s music room and gymnasium for each of their parts.
However, each space has changed into a strange atmosphere related to the abilities of each testa that has been revealed since ‘Magical Boy’.
So, the testas wearing techwear outfits similar to those seen in the concept photo seemed to have created their own areas, like a game mid-boss room.
-Target Target Target
GOT IT
As they ran and snatched them,
they were woven into their own space and sang, and they looked conceptual and bored.
however. The moment the trailer’s thunderous riff melody fell, the atmosphere changed completely.
DDVVViiii-!!
The image of Testa running away or running away from the monsters in school uniform whizzed past in a quick cut-scene, and the screen stopped at the class instruction on the blackboard.
Rough red graffiti was painted over the clichéd black letters.
[WINNER-TAKE-All : )]
[LOSER? Good bye : (]
Blood splattered over the English word meaning ‘goodbye’.
And the chorus started to flow.
-BUT.
It’s just confusing
since when
I’m just confused
Umm I don’t
know how far it goes, it doesn’t go well
with the melancholy chorus The desperate game of survival continued.
In the music video, the lyrics began to contain completely specific meanings.
And as the song progressed, Testa’s moves became more and more violent.
Cutscenes fighting became more frequent than acting together, and the last monster The moment he collapsed, the tension peaked.
[……]
The moment Kim Rae-bin looked back and lifted the awl, Ryu Chung-woo shot him in the back. -After Umm, the
music
video has a cut scene in which they hunt each other, centering on a more intense performance cut. The composition was changed to an indirectly eerie protruding composition
and the bridge of the song .
During verse 2, Bae Se-jin, who had not been cut much, was close-up.
While singing his part, Bae Se-jin suddenly got up and walked out of his school entrance -When we
cut our Paradox line, which
we couldn’t handle
,
the
payback got
bigger
The paint was caught.
The moment Bae Se-jin threw something in his hand, the last chorus came out.
-BUT
.
It’s NOT confusing! I’m
NOT
confused
who I am
Oh!
The lock that flew in a parabolic line shattered and fell. The shattered class training frame was caught in slow motion.
And the moment the frame fell to the floor, the Moombahton accompaniment began to play.
Bae Se-jin grinned.
-BETTER ME
With a splendid choreography The timeline in the video began to be corrected:
Kim Rae-bin’s awl, which he lifted after the last monster fell, was stopped by Park Moon-dae’s smartphone shutter baptism. The late Testa disbanded in annoyance with each other.
Their faces looked innocent.
Then, the screen went back to the cut of Cha Yoo-jin holding an old cloth doll.
[…] … ]
But this time, Cha Yoo-jin did not turn the gear.
[♫♪~]
Cha Yoo-jin whistled, threw the doll into the corner, and started walking down the smashed hallway.
A fixed camera caught the breezy gait from behind, and ‘BETTER ME’ appeared on the screen as a white subtitle.
-BETTER ME
The video ended with the last hook.
And the Testa fandom faced an unexpected MV era.
* * *
“Hyung, what are you watching?”
“Interpretation of our music video.”
“Why interpret?”
“… hmm. Do you want to see it too?”
“yes!”
It was better to let Cha Yoo-jin in than to be stuck in the loop of endless questions and answers.
I connected the Witube I was watching on TV and launched it.
A duck character appeared on the screen.
[Hello Witube friends! This is the duck and potato that interprets the music video.]
[Today, the hot topic game, the hot topic group! I’ve prepared an interpretation of Testa’s ‘BETTER ME’ music video that was just released.] [
Actually, I was sobbing while playing the game, so I may have my own opinion on this interpretation. I ask for your understanding in advance.] [※
〈Section 127 〉 Spoiler alert!]
[Then let’s begin!]
Ori introduced the simple plot of the ‘BETTER ME’ music video and explained the overall story.
[The monsters in school uniforms appearing in the middle of the music video seem to be students who were in the same classroom as Testa.] [Like
this, all the monsters’ uniforms had name tags on them. Name badges with the same color and the same name can be seen in the peaceful classroom cut.]
It was mainly like this.
‘You’re very observant.’
I listened to the duck with interest.
However, as soon as the contents of the music video were finished, this duck threw a tremendous sound.
[In fact, there was a theory of Testa’s worldview that I had been speculating on since ‘Airplane’, but after watching the ‘BETTER ME’ music video, I’m really convinced.] [In Testa’s worldview, Moondae Park and Sejin Bae are probably the same
. It must be a person.]
“Fu-heuk.”
Bae Se-jin, who was drinking coffee and leaving the kitchen, heard a sigh. Cha Yoo-jin blinked her eyes and waited for Ori’s next words.
[Since ‘Magical Boy’, the two of them have shown conflicting moves. Park Moon-dae locks the front door of the school with a padlock and Bae Se-jin breaks the door down] [
And in this ‘BETTER ME’ music video, Park Moon-dae closes the time by turning the camera around, and Bae Se-jin breaks the class training frame that symbolizes this terrible time]
[If you look at it like this, they have completely opposite abilities, so why are they the same person? That’s because the abilities of these two are in fact on the same line.]
[Both deal with the constraints of time and space, but Park Moon-dae is the one who imposes the constraints. Bae Se-jin uses his ability to destroy the constraints.]
“What is your character?”
“On board. They are on the same line.”
Saejin Bae answered and sat down next to the sofa. It seems that you are interested in the interpretation video.
[As I mentioned in the last video, Park Moon-dae’s magic props are assorted as if they were books, but they are actually ‘sleep’. Park Moon-dae goes back to the past through actions such as sleeping or covering the view symbolized by sleeping.]
On the screen, a hand covering the camera and Park Mun-dae standing at the front gate of the school appeared.
And the video continued to open the door and run into the school.
It was a scene from an airplane music video.
[By the way, aren’t you familiar with this cut? you’re right. It also appeared in this BETTER ME music video.]
[But it’s Bae Se-jin, not Park Moon-dae.]
The cut of Bae Se-jin running down the school hallway was repeated in the video. Certainly the composition was the same.
[Besides, what is the next item Bae Se-jin threw that broke the class training frame? It’s the same lock Moondae Park put on the front door in ‘Magical Boy’.]
That was a detail I put in for you to notice.
[Based on these parts, I hypothesized that these two are actually different personalities of the same person.]
And the evidence continued.
[Did you just see it? In the airplane music video, there are only 6 dorm beds. And in the BETTER ME music video, Moondae Park sits alone in the back seat in the far corner. In fact, it wouldn’t be strange even if there were no students.]
[And there hasn’t been a single cut where someone other than Bae Se-jin has spoken directly to Park Moon-dae.]
The members were impressed.
“Oh oh.”
“… It’s plausible.”
That was right.
But the problem is that it’s just a misunderstanding.
The lock was taken from the front door, but it was cut out due to time, and the director just happened to like the composition of the hallway, so I just went in the same way.
There are no cuts where I talked with the other members… No, I don’t think Sun Ah-hyun was there in the first place, right?
However, the number of views and comments were great, as if the fans had a lot of knowledge about this theory.
‘… Shall I suggest that we just use that setting from the next album onwards?’
Shouldn’t we offer what the buyer likes, not what the seller likes?
Anyway, the music video ended the ‘Park Moon-dae and Bae Se-jin coterie characters’ and went back to explaining the worldview connection.
[The timeline follows ‘Airplane’ – > ‘Magic Boy’ – > ‘BETTER ME’ and the trailer video ‘BONUSBOOK’, considering the type slip through Moondae Park’s dream.] [However, the trailer video is the official flow
. In this ‘BETTER ME’ music video, Bae Se-jin stopped the incident and ended it with ‘something that didn’t happen’.] The screen is a trailer
video of Cha Yu-jin blowing up a doll, and this music video video not blowing it up. was shown as a split.
‘I guessed this correctly.’
It was a device made to not get too involved with the game.
We don’t want to be dragged along by the game’s story, and the game side probably doesn’t want to rush into our worldview at all.
‘I treated it as an IF version.’
Looking at people’s reactions to the game now, I think it was a good choice. … Even so, there were quite a few people who went crazy, but I couldn’t give them a bigger shock.
[< 127 Section >] Considering the ending they fit, it can be said that it’s a good thing… It’s really sad that there’s still a long way to see the future of our first teammates in the future.]
And the subtitles below [The moment B11 dies, a sobbing duck] appeared.
“… … .”
It seems that the influence was stronger than expected.
[However, the abilities of the members used in the trailer will be reflected in the future worldview, so I am looking forward to this duck! 꿱꿱!]
[Then, everyone, see you with the next music video interpretation~]
“See you~”
“The duck is smart.”
I handed over the TV to Yujin Cha and checked the video comments on my smartphone.
-Wow, Testa is really crazy
. -The world view is spinning
. -I get goosebumps as if they are the same person.
-I thought it would feel like a battle royale from the moment I saw Baromi, but seeing it this way is more interesting. I’m going to have fun watching it~^^
It seems that this person is almost established as an established theory. Even if you sort by the latest comment, no one criticizes or pinches.
‘It’s fun.’
It was interesting to see a new interpretation of it, neatly fitting even the parts that no one intended.
Also, the game enthusiasts who accidentally flowed in in the middle stood out.
-So what should I do to see Biil? └ I come to Moondae’s SNS often
, so it’s good if you follow me
~ haha
└ No, I’m a game
duck.
Looking at this reminded me. Come to think of it, there was an additional release during this week.
It’s just content released as fan service, but I don’t know if there will be a reaction from this side unexpectedly.
‘It might be a bit embarrassing.’
I turned off my phone while touching the back of my neck.
And at 10:31 the next evening, another new video was uploaded to Testa’s official YouTube channel.
[TeSTAR’s ‘BETTER ME’ choreography video late Halloween Ver]
It was a Halloween costume version of Testa’s choreography video, dressed as an early colleague of 〈Section 127〉.
