Debut or Die - Chapter 127
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 127
The abnormal condition related to the rookie award was resolved faster than expected.
‘I thought it would take until February.’
The fact that I was released as soon as I received the award at the last large awards ceremony… That would mean that the current public opinion is overwhelming.
It must have been the influence of breaking through when it was a mess due to the rookie award controversy. I didn’t know that this would extend until the status ailment was lifted.
‘Well, it’s good to be able to check quickly.’
I didn’t intend to click ‘Check Truth’ for a while anyway, so there was no point in getting a new status ailment prematurely just because it was achieved quickly.
“thank you!”
While I was thinking about it, Keun Se-jin, who finished his testimony, moved away and gave me a seat in front of the stand mic.
That meant it was my turn.
I slowly walked out and stood in front of the microphone.
A flashing wave in front of him disturbed his vision.
It is Testa’s cheering stick with luminous power that can be easily seen from a distance.
‘… There are overwhelmingly more than other awards ceremonies.’
It was probably because VTIC was absent. I checked the scene and put my mouth on the microphone.
“First of all, I would like to start my impressions by saying thank you.”
I’m not afraid to share my acceptance speech, but I’ve never felt the urge to do so.
‘I did it because I was just taking turns.’
But now I see… It seems like a good way to express gratitude.
“… Testa is not a group that has been prepared as a team for a long time. We, who have not been verified as a team, put a lot of thought and effort into debuting as a group after a short preparation period.”
Of course, I wasn’t just worrying about it, but I was also greedy for the company, but it was the truth without lies anyway.
And so was the next sentence.
“And the driving force… It seems that there are people who have been waiting for it.”
… … It wasn’t just preparation for the debut.
It was the same in the Rookie of the Year controversy. Because I knew there were people who would respond right away if the situation was reversed… I could have chosen such a primitive method.
Isn’t it really strange and amazing that there are people waiting to like it as long as you put out a good result?
“Thank you for trusting and waiting for us.”
Thank you for not giving up on your expectations even in tired public opinion and annoying situations.
“When thinking about Testa’s tomorrow, we will continue to do our best without forgetting our present feelings so that we can become a group that gives excitement rather than worry. thank you.”
I bowed my head. And we continued to say hello for a while.
Brilliant cheers poured over their heads.
The sound, which was as powerful as the luminous power of the light stick, somehow felt hot.
And I felt hands tapping on my back.
‘They must be members.’
Just as I was about to think positively that it would be a good picture, I heard a slightly embarrassed whisper.
‘Are you okay?’
‘Are you crying?’
I don’t cry.
The other guy whispered seriously.
‘If it’s something like raising your head straight, cover your face and turn around.’
Why do you think you can’t lift your head because you’re embarrassed by crying?
‘Isn’t it normal to think that greetings are prolonged with emotion and gratitude?’
I held my breath and looked up.
Then, the cheering rod, which was as brilliant as the cheers, swayed and rippled countless times.
Somehow, it looked bigger than before, like the Milky Way.
“… … .”
‘It almost got into trouble.’
If I lifted my head without thinking, I would really kick myself and almost shed tears.
Thanks to those who misunderstood that it was crying, it cooled down and thanks to being neutralized, I avoided being funny.
‘I’m breaking out in a cold sweat.’
And at the same time, it reminded me of a trait I threw away a few months ago.
[Attribute: Faucet under the eyes (B)]
-Easy to open and close!
: Tears control ability MAX
A little chilly up the spine.
‘… I’m sure it won’t be necessary.’
I doubted for a moment that it might be like the immobility that I needed as soon as I abandoned it… Soon, I shook my head.
‘No matter how much, I can’t give up other characteristics with something like this.’
It’s okay if you’re a little embarrassing.
And how often does that happen? It was a day like today when complicated circumstances overlapped.
‘Let’s shake hands.’
I waved my hand toward the audience and nodded my head along with the guys trying to stab me in the side with the attitude of saying, ‘I thought you were crying!’
The light was still hot.
* * *
After the award ceremony season was over, preparations for the concert began in earnest.
Among them, of course, there was a unit stage preparation process with a camera.
[Magical boy Testa’s magical AI assistant!]
“Is WiTube coming out now?”
“It’s Chungwoo hyung!”
As Cha Yoo-jin said, Ryu Chung-woo appeared on the TV screen connected to Witube.
Ryu Cheong-wu, who had a picture of a bird’s wing synthesized over his shoulder, smiled and winked and made a slight shooting motion with his index finger and thumb.
[Catch Curious!]
It was a very normal commercial scene in which Ryu Cheong-woo appeared as a cheerful and handsome man.
“what!”
“Why is only hyung doing cool things?”
“… … Aren’t they animals?”
The last Bae Se-jin’s question sounded almost gloomy.
However, Liu Cheng-wu was embarrassed even by this and just laughed and shaved his head.
“Haha, that’s not cool… Fans compared me to ‘Bird’ a lot, so I guess it turned out like this.”
However, the reaction of the members was cold.
“I could have done it with a peep-peep chick, but you did something cool.”
“I was going to press skip, but I didn’t have to.”
“No, it’s not something I decided on, guys!”
Ryu Chung-woo was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that it was a reaction out of light resentment, so he smiled and looked at the situation cutely and passed it over.
‘… It would be nice if the image animal was a hawk.’
Someone pushed a dog and it ended up like that.
I quickly shook off my ad cuts that came to mind and focused on the video playing.
[Je te donne des fleurs que… ]
A slow and beautiful chanson was playing on the screen. It was a unit song chosen by Kim Rae-bin and Ryu Chung-woo.
Big Sejin asked with inertial admiration.
“Oh you want to write that song?”
“yes.”
Rabin Kim nodded and his eyes twinkled.
“I think it’s a melody that goes well with Chung Woo-hyung’s voice. If you change the rhythm to kitschy, leaving only the sound of the keyboard instrument, it will be a very sensual instrument… !”
“okay. I’m looking forward to it because Rabin seems to be having fun.”
Liu Qingyu smiled and nodded.
I could guess what kind of atmosphere this team was in.
‘I’m letting Kim Rae-bin go wild.’
Since it is a unit stage anyway, Ryu Chung-woo does not make conservative judgments and seems to fully accept Kim Rae-bin’s ideas.
‘An interesting picture will come out.’
It was pretty interesting.
And next, Cha Yu-jin was excited and searched for a video and played it.
An old pop song played against the brown album cover.
‘… Why a pop song?’
I wondered if the selection would be too advantageous for Cha Yoo-jin, a Korean-American, but I soon realized that it couldn’t be.
Perhaps Sejin Keun chose the song he wanted after taking care of Yoojin Cha.
‘If that guy makes concessions in this game, he will go to the castle.’
It’s already Galin Castle, but I walked through it one more time.
When Sejin met my eyes, he furrowed his eyebrows as if he couldn’t see them. I thought maybe that pop song was the one he induced.
“I like this song! I look forward to it!”
“That’s right, let’s make a great stage~”
“Make it!”
Cha Yu-jin excitedly raised her hand, and Se-jin Cha responded with an exciting high-five.
‘Well, I’m satisfied with both of them.’
So far, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.
“Well then… We’ll play the song we’ve chosen… !”
“Ohh~”
The last group was me, Bae Se-jin, and Seon Ah-hyun.
Sun Ah-hyun came forward and manipulated the WiTube screen as per the script.
Then the rustic and laid-back band accompaniment began to flow.
[right! I can hear my heart~]
“Huh?”
Looking at the other Joe’s guys who were a bit flustered, I explained with a smile.
“It’s Miso sunbaenim’s < You’re Amazing >.”
It was a song by a female solo singer who was active in the late 80s. Moderately bright and moderately emotional.
The chorus of this song, ‘Uh-ooh~ Amazing!’, is so well known that even teenagers or 20-somethings have heard it at least once in variety shows.
But that was all.
Probably, for a song to be used at a recent concert, both the impact and the atmosphere didn’t seem right.
Liu Qingyu had a slightly shocked face.
“Can the three of you sing this song?”
“yes.”
I calmly nodded, and the other two team members also affirmed with slightly flushed faces.
Liu Qingyu looked at that face and then barely nodded.
“okay… Did Mundae choose you?”
“… ? no. Sun Ah-hyun and Se-jin hyung chose it.”
The two of them put it on the candidate list first, and after discussing it, they chose it together.
“… … hmm. I see.”
Liu Chengyu immediately nodded, but it was felt that he was hiding his concern.
‘If I didn’t have a camera, I would have already asked if it would be okay with this.’
Seon Ah-hyun, who did not notice the sign, just muttered with an excited face.
“I’m already looking forward to it because I think it will suit us well!”
Bae Se-jin also had a hesitant expression on whether to speak or not, but eventually opened his mouth while looking at the camera.
“… I think it will be a great stage, so you can look forward to it.”
Liu Qingyu’s face became more and more relaxed after seeing the rare positive expression of the two people.
I don’t know if he likes it that much, but he must have thought that there was something attractive about this song.
Liu Qingyu glanced at me for the last time. And he asked with a face hoping for one last assurance.
“… Do you have confidence in Mundae too?”
“It’s hard to be confident on any stage. We will do our best to complete it.”
“… … .”
“We all do our best!”
“Let’s do our best!”
“Testa fighting!”
As soon as the filming was over, Ryu Chung-woo asked, “Are you really okay?” three times, and I nodded my head all three times.
Only then did Ryu Cheong-wu disappear to brew coffee with a slightly relieved face.
‘Did I just play a joke?’
I was planning to play around with Russian roulette alone, but it worked better than I expected because he was a guy with a strong sense of responsibility.
‘Actually, what I’m worried about is the other part.’
My concern is… It was a stage for a new song.
‘It’s the first stage at a concert before the sound source is even released.’
Title song and sub song. I had to make it enjoyable for the audience to enjoy two songs that were unfamiliar and unverified to the public.
It was important to drag out so that the atmosphere would not deteriorate.
“… … hmm.”
After thinking about it, I came up with a short and clear answer.
‘Let’s pour capital.’
Fortunately, the company had plenty of money.

The time when Testa is in the middle of preparing for a concert and a new album.
The concert date has finally been announced.

And the moment their expectations became reality, people let out screams of joy and immediately started preparing for ticketing.
-If you want to go to a concert in a local area, quickly find a lodging and take it easy, then make a reservation right away and the price goes up a lot. -Where do you

– Is there anything to prepare for the fan club pre-sale?
– I really want to stand,
but I’m really desperate, but before they calmly start preparing for ticketing, new news pours in.
-Hey, they say we’re taking reservations for our new album from next month? (Notice link)
└?? What is it
└Suddenly?
└April 1st comeback already announced?
└ Huh, it’s the day after the concert

Fans were already baffled there, but the news isn’t over yet.
-An article appeared… It is said that the new song will be released for the first time at the concert (link to the article)
└ Yes… ?
└ No, what is this

└ I think I will go crazy if I can’t go to a crazy concert…

└Wait, all of a sudden it’s too much hahahahaha
└You say you’re doing a unit stage and making a reality show?
└ It’s so good that I can’t stop doubting. There’s no way T-One can work… ?
Fans frantically struggled to digest the news, but only one fact was firmly established.
‘Concert competition must be insanely high!’
And in this whirlpool of confusion and tension. Testa posts an SNS post.
