Debut or Die - Chapter 114
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 114
‘Why is Testa Rookie Award Again?’
I can roughly guess what the story is about, but I clicked once.
————=
[Isn’t Testa a bit like a newcomer?]
: Not a rookie who debuted normally, but something that should be viewed as an extension of Azusa. no?
I think it should be viewed as an entertainment project. Honestly, you’re stealing opportunities from other new groups.
————=
Also.
‘I roughly expected this reaction.’
Isn’t that what I heard when I overlapped with VTIC? They’re destroying the ecosystem.
Honestly, I understand.
‘Azusa should have been popular.’
As a group that debuted with the halo of such a well-known audition program, it was not strange to hear such words as tyranny from broadcasting companies or large corporations.
However, the contestants suffered filth while filming the variety show, and in season 3, the top people knew how to fail and almost gave up, so it’s a bit unfair to be scolded blindly.
‘It’s not even public opinion strong enough to change the tide anyway.’
Looking at the comments, it was an embarrassing one-sided atmosphere to say that they were already fighting.
-That variety show was an idol audition, what are you talking about?
└ It’s an idol audition, so isn’t it more of a foul… ? └ What kind of foul is this?
Anyone
who sees it will know that idol auditions are illegal.
-There are so many idols from audition programs, so do we have to treat them all as fraudulent debuts
?
-I also think the Azusa program itself is deformed, but that doesn’t mean the testa kids don’t have the right to be rookies.
-It was too much.
The later comments almost ended up as mockery of the author.
‘Hmm, this atmosphere isn’t very good either.’
It seemed right that this article was aggro, but the problem was that there were intermittent comments ridiculing the performance of the rookie group that debuted this year.
They don’t seem to be Testa fans, and they just seemed like fun people who could make fun of someone.
-Well, even the best rookies this year barely sold 80,000… … ㅋㅋ
└ㅋㅋㅋ Haha, it’s a level where you can’t even play games
└ Isn’t it kind of a pity to miss the rookie award with this score? Ha ha ha ha empathy ha ha ha
ha ha
It was a little embarrassing, but it wasn’t a big deal.
It wasn’t a particularly popular article that attracted attention, and Testa’s grades weren’t so flat that it couldn’t be criticized by anyone.
I just shrugged and went to another page.
And until the next week, when I was in the middle of preparing for year-end practice, I didn’t worry too much about the rookie award.
* * *
The mirror in the choreography practice room is full of moisture.
“Let’s go back after resting~”
“Heo-eok… … .”
“I’m dying.”
If Cha Yoo-jin said such a thing, I think he explained everything about the other guys’ condition even if he didn’t say it.
‘Cha Yoo-jin… It’s the hardest thing, though.’
This is because the part where Cha Yoo-jin sings the solo choreography for the song we are practicing now is quite long.
I think the finished product will probably be cool because I even put the aerial device in the middle… The problem is that the person who does it is filthy hard.
“Give me water?”
“yes… … .”
I threw a mineral water bottle I was carrying to Cha Yu-jin.
“… Me too.”
“Please have mercy on me too.”
They all threw water at the two Sejin who were far away. And for a moment, the practice room became quiet. Everyone was pouring water through their spouts.
After quite a while, Seon Ah-hyun looked up and said.
“Though… I think it will be cool when you do it.”
“that’s right.”
“I think it will be a great stage if you hold the camera properly.”
At Kim Rae-bin’s words, giggles erupted here and there. And Kim Rae-bin was a little taken aback as he couldn’t figure out why people were laughing.
‘Funny guy.’
I laughed and took out my smartphone. I was thinking of using the intermission to check the progress of the Rookie of the Year voting.
However, the manager came into the choreography practice room with a lot of drinks and naturally put the phone down.
“brother!”
“coffee!”
“Thank you so much for making it iced… … .”
The manager asked while handing over the drink.
“okay… . Guys. How’s the practice going?”
“yes!”
“If I keep practicing like this, I think I will do well at the awards ceremony.”
“Hmm good! But guys, sit down.”
“… … ?”
Ryu Chung-woo, who was relaying the progress as the representative, was a bit taken aback, but soon calmly called the members together.
“why?”
“… Do you have any additional schedules?”
“No, not like that. hmm… … .”
The manager had a troubled face. After hesitating a few times, he spoke seriously.
“tomorrow… You say that the article will appear. Regarding Azusa.”
“… … !”
“Tnet tried to block it as much as possible, but it didn’t seem to work. We are also preparing a response article, so don’t worry too much.”
“… What do you think?”
“Hmm, there are rumors about Azusa’s participation, but it should be okay since there are already all the refutation materials. … In particular, it seems like Chung-woo caught the pod, so don’t panic.”
I barely put up with the silence.
‘It must have exploded now.’
This is 100% a controversy over the relatives of the artist.
‘The writer also kept his mouth shut, so I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal for a year.’
It seems that the group is doing so well that many diggers have joined.
Ryu Cheng-wu must have guessed this, but his face was dark, but he didn’t look embarrassed.
I just asked carefully.
“… Do I have to say anything more?”
“I hadn’t heard of that… … .for a moment.”
The manager went out to call again with a puzzled face.
And the atmosphere of the remaining members naturally slumped. It was because the adrenaline that offset the fatigue from practice had just disappeared with the news.
Big Sejin asked seriously.
“Hyung-nim, you must be tired, but can we briefly explain what’s going on?”
“… of course.”
Ryu Chung-woo repeated the same words to the members just like he told me everything at the last drinking party.
To sum it up, the writer contacted himself, a distant relative whom he had hardly ever seen, through a family reunion.
Most of them were relieved, as if they felt that if the explanation went well, it would not develop into a big problem.
“Well, then you’re not in a relationship~”
“That’s right… . If there is an explanation, I don’t think it will spread much.”
Ryu Cheng-wu still had a bitter face.
“I’m sorry for causing unnecessary controversy at such an important time.”
“It’s okay! Don’t worry too much about your tongue… … .”
“What can I do about something that has already happened~ Let’s hope things work out for us!”
Bae Se-jin quietly added the words.
“… Liu Cheng-wu, if you did, I should have already left the group.”
“… … !”
This guy is even making self-study gags now.
And Cha Yu-jin replied brightly.
“It is!”
“hey!”
“haha!”
The hot-tempered Bae Se-jin was laughing, so the atmosphere was a little relaxed.
“It’s not something to worry about~ Shall we continue practicing?”
“It is a wise decision.”
After finishing the call, the manager was a little taken aback when he saw us starting road practice, but he went back with a sense of relief.
And the next morning after I was worried about fatigue and just went to bed, a series of articles appeared.
[Testa’s Ryu Chung-woo, the writer of Azusa, was recruited as a ‘Chance by Relatives’]
[An inconvenient truth about audition programs, Testa also has the power of blood ties?]
[Testa debuted as Azusa. The artist’s relative was former medalist Ryu Chung-woo.]
It was the expected lineup.
Comments on a few articles that appeared on the social side, not entertainment, increased in an instant.
“Don’t look at the comments.”
“… okay.”
Liu Qingyu had a worried face.
“… … The fans must be having a hard time.”
Fortunately, the refutation articles appeared one after another.
[T1 Stars’ writer is a relative? Ryu Chung-woo is someone I’ve never seen before’]
[Azusa writer Ryu Cheong-woo is more distant than 15th degree… It wasn’t even a relative.]
Usually, in this case, the rebuttal article did not get enough attention.
However, the response was made immediately within a very short time, and because Ryu Cheong-woo’s existing image was good, he was able to rise to the top of the portal news tab.
Of course, the efforts of the fans were great.
-I think I was just trying to contact Ryu Chung-woo somehow and went to the family reunion? At that timing, the writer is a jackpot, but Ryu Cheong-wu was fooled by the mangjusa hahahahaha (????11026 ????1501) -It’s a
man from the 9th degree, but if it’s the 15th degree, he’s on the level of a marshal (??8490 ????422)
-15 villages? It’s honestly like a fault. Even if I’m a writer, if I’m from a national university, I’ll get involved (????6178 ????759)
Most of the fans of the Testa group were convinced, and public opinion quickly entered a recovery phase.
The company’s press and public relations team also contacted me separately.
“They said it wouldn’t be a big problem. But let’s refrain from social media for a while, Chungwoo.”
“… yes. thank you.”
Ryu Chung-woo seemed relieved, but he seemed a bit distraught because he couldn’t post anything, such as an apology or thanks to his fans.
I held back a sigh.
‘… It’s a bit like saying this.’
In fact, it has been confirmed that some communities on the Internet have failed to fully restore public opinion.
————=
[Am I the only one who was offended by Ryu Cheong-woo’s explanation article?]
: It’s simply a distant relative, so it’s not related by blood~ Ryu Cheong-woo You got a really good edit at Azusa.
I think it was a foul from not watching the preliminaries properly and entering as a recruiter. You don’t know what kind of deal there was during the recruiting process.
————=
-All text received
-No, when Ryu Cheong-woo was invited, it was when Azusa season 3 was said to be ruined… Didn’t it go too far?
└ Even after the success of Azusa, Ryu Chung-woo’s portions were consistently good. To be honest, wasn’t it strange that only Liu Cheng-wu continued to promote the image of tragic love?
-I think it is unavoidable to be
suspicious
. Ha ha ha Maybe he said he would send it somehow until the end. It’s annoying. Someone didn’t even get the right amount, but Ryu Chung-wu was hired
?
– To be honest, the other members also… Hahaha I can’t say more because I’m afraid of the fans
└ㅋㅋㅋ I’ll do it for you! No, it was only Ryu Chung-woo~ Actually, all the debut members benefited from the editing~
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sok Siwon
└ This is a place where fans will soon have seizures.
└ Prediction: Who got bad edits? Did you go up on stage without much quantity?
└ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
└ The bad editing was fixed later, blindfolded.
Of course, this atmosphere was not normal, so it did not last long and subsided to some extent.
It’s because people who are tired of not going this far have taken the lead in the second half.
The company seems to have thought that these places would move quickly if another issue broke out.
So, the public opinion that doubted Testa’s legitimacy did not immediately disappear and remained inconvenient.
And it wasn’t long before the story started to come out again.

[Rookie Award for Testa]
: The grades are true, so I can’t help but win the Popularity Award or the main award… I want to give the rookie award to another group ㅠㅠ I feel so sorry for the kids who lost it…
————=
What’s different from the last time is that there are people who actively respond.
