Debut or Die - Chapter 143

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 143

First of all, I asked the company staff to give us some time to talk.

And the discussion started.

“what do you think about it?”

“I want to go to America!”

“okay. I’ll take Eugene as Chansung and talk more about the hyungs.”

“Yeah!”

The moment Cha Yu-jin was about to be excluded from the discussion with Liu Cheng-wu’s gentle words, the big Se-jin intervened.

“Wait a minute~ Eugene, have you heard of this show?”

“‘The Nerdy Andy Show’? no!”

This was the name of the show I was asked to appear on. “The Nerdy Andy Show”. And Cha Yoo-jin really didn’t know this name.

“Maybe it happened recently, so Eugene doesn’t even know… ?”

“that’s right. You said you were on the rise, right?”

The members talked about each other. I took out my smartphone and picked it up.

“Do you want to search for Moondaemundae?”

“huh.”

“Oh look.”

Anyone who sees you will think you’re a guy without a smartphone in your pocket.

Anyway, it was annoying to search, so I proceeded with the members secretly looking at my smartphone screen.

A simple search through a translation program revealed the identity of the show.

“Ah, the page opens.”

Of course, it was not a famous American terrestrial talk show.

But is that a small program completely marginalized? Nor was it.

“Oh, that’s amazing.”

“It feels very specialized.”

It was a broadcast with a pleasant atmosphere in the form of a parody of a famous talk show.

And the content… It is, so to speak, a subculture.

It seems to be mainly dealing with games, comics, and superhero movies, but as the company employee said, the number of views on WeTube was quite high.

“Would you like to see this, Eugene? fun?”

“what?”

Cha Yoo-jin poked her head into my smartphone screen where a talk show clip was playing.

Then, after looking at the screen for a moment, he snorted a small snort.

“… … ?”

Did this guy catch the problem?

“Wouldn’t it be fun… ?”

“I don’t know. I don’t see anything like this. So nerdy.”

“Uh huh?”

… It just doesn’t seem to like it.

Cha Yujin pouted.

Big Sejin asked with a mischievous face.

“But you have to leave here to go to America~? You have to come out and sing the game song!”

“It’s okay to come out. I’m not watching.”

It was a very professional attitude.

‘The question is, are you going to leave?’

Looking at it, it was moderately topical and seemed like a good program.

But I don’t know if I can do this for my first American stage.

‘I don’t want to get involved with games anymore.’

In the long run, the risks are significant.

Because Testa is a K-pop group and will make a K-pop album.

However, even if I went out and did well, I could come out wearing only the game character avatar image.

Then later, when you go abroad with the real Testa’s album, there will be a considerable sense of difference from your first impression.

There was a good chance that it would come back as ridicule or betrayal.

‘If you don’t have much intention to advance to the English region, it’s a good choice for unplay… .’

Anyway, it’s from an American program, so it wouldn’t be bad for an article.

‘It will help to remove the image for domestic use.’

They put up a smoke screen saying, “We are also great at entering the global market.”

In this case, the public opinion of the game community was not too much of a concern.

Even if people say that they are using the game to unfollow, it will quickly subside as long as they don’t do new collaborations.

However, the members did not seem to think this way.

I just took it as a career opportunity.

“Shall we? It’s a rare opportunity.”

“… I don’t care.”

“I also think it is a challenge worthy proposition. It would be nice if we could hear our song, even if it is a game collaboration song.”

It was a very progressive and rookie-like attitude. hmm.

What is surprising is that Ah-Hyun Sun brought out her concerns here.

“Is that okay? Mumundae then… I said it’s not good to do another collaboration… … Will this be okay… ?”

The last question is what I asked myself.

Sejin also intervened here. However, he was also in favor of it.

“Ah~ It’s not like we’re doing a new collaboration, wouldn’t it be nice to have a stage? It’s about making a good impression by being cool.”

It’s not like he doesn’t know the importance of a first impression, but his ambition to enter the US seems to have overcome the risk.

‘I’m going to take care of Morro Garden first.’

To make matters worse, Sun Ah-hyun nodded with her eyes shining.

“Is that so? I wish I had a great stage… !”

I guess I wanted to do it.

And the other guys also started to form a motivated atmosphere in sympathy.

… I can’t help it. I shook my head.

“… okay. I like it too.”

“Oh oh!”

“I just want it to show the group as much as possible.”

“That group?”

“uh.”

I wanted to say something comprehensive, but after the explanation, everyone was convinced.

“great!”

“Hmm~ I need to prepare well.”

“I’m glad I have some free time in my recent schedule.”

The group discussion ended in an excited atmosphere.

And the company staff I met again had opinions similar to what I said earlier.

slightly more specific.

“first… I want to be able to sing one of our titles.”

“Ah! Sure. We will definitely discuss that!”

“yes. thank you For the stage, the program side only requests the selection of songs, and it would be right for us to prepare the rest.”

“yes. that’s right. If there is a concept or setting you want to do, I will do my best to match it. As far as time permits!”

“Good for you.”

time will be very good. I chuckled.

“I want our band to do a live.”

“ah! It’s good.”

“And I don’t need a costume.”

“… … ? yes?”

What nonsense are you talking about? I think it’s time for another explanation from now on.

* * *

The news of Testa’s appearance on an American program went down after taking a picture of the main entertainment news about once.

If the reaction is not good after appearing, it is difficult to play with the media, so the agency seized the opportunity as soon as I was invited.

Fans who enjoyed Testa’s May college festival direct cams and Seon Ah-hyun’s surprise birthday party video quickly received this news.

– Huh, advance to the US??

– It’s time to start talking about overseas, but I thought I’d start with Japan… As expected,

Testa is aiming for a different population

-Ah, finally, Cha Yujin can watch without wanting to speak English. Calli Boy’s cheerful and sexy accent

. Rather than worrying, the atmosphere of ‘the world should know about my proud stone’ was overwhelming.

This is because Testa had so many fans in Korea.

However, after the exact contents of the program and the recruitment process were revealed, it cooled slightly.

-Ah, you were singing a game collaboration song… Somehow, the feeling of broadcasting was a bit that way haha -It’s the first time K-pop appeared on that program

. It’s a meaningful enough achievement

.

Ham First of all, that collaboration song was also heard on the billboard (capture)

-But if the bastards who play games with this have seizures again, I won’t let it go

. It was a word that a personal fan wrote with anger on his private account one by one.

‘Dogs are really pissed off!!’

She hit the keyboard with a bang.

It was because it reminded me of a dog fight with a malicious game user who was talking like a beggar.

‘When I first launched it, I started to play God-star and let it come up, but now I’m cutting my tail just because I’m enjoying the game!’

The fact that the situation has changed and the user base has changed a lot from then did not mean much in front of Kim Rae-bin’s angry fans.

‘I’d rather be fuzzy. under!!’

I just wanted to quit playing this game!

Truth be told, Testa’s success abroad was far from her benefit.

‘If it goes well with this as an opportunity, I won’t be able to come out well because I’m on tour, but either way, it’s not good for me!’

… However, on the day of the testa’s appearance on < The Nerdy Andy Show >, I am still waiting for real-time viewing.

Even smartphone screens are too small and errors are frequent, so I dared to sit in front of the desktop.

‘after… .’

A light strike dominated her shoulders.

I couldn’t help it. Kim Rae-bin and Park Moon-dae were held hostage in a program like this… …

“Hey, are you seeing them again?”

“Yeah off.”

“Yeah you.”

“If I call you you one more time, I will search for you.”

She cursed at her younger brother with her hand and then ignored it. But the little brother looked at her computer screen with a smile.

“Is this it? Singing game songs in America? Are you cosplaying?”

“Hey, get off.”

“I got a concussion~ Ugh! 100 million!”

My younger brother returned to the sofa as if he were running away only after being beaten mercilessly on the back.

Because < 127 Section > was so good, my younger brother had played the game quite deeply, so he knew the news.

‘Have you already heard the cerebral palsy? I’m more pissed off.’

Kim Rae-bin’s personal fan gritted his teeth and glared at the computer screen.

Fortunately, the program started shortly thereafter.

[Welcome to the Show!]

[This is… nerdy!]

[Oh I mean Andy~]

“What are you saying?”

Very American B-grade sensibility CG and subtitles flew around.

And for a while, English poured out of the speaker. The interstitial advertisements that went in there every few minutes were a bonus.

In short, it wasn’t fun.

All I could recognize was a few superhero movie characters.

‘What are you doing… .’

Kim Rae-bin’s personal fan felt deep regret, saying that he should have finished the assignment and read the edited version later.

Still, it was a pity to play it, so as I was watching it, fortunately, Testa’s notice appeared.

exactly… It was a notice about the 〈127 Section〉 OST performance, though.

‘X foot… !’

Isn’t that just promoting the game?

Feeling repulsive, she kicked. The commercial ended soon after my younger brother ignored King Kong talking bullshit.

And the stage was illuminated.

“… … !”

Where Testa will appear… It was full of bands.

‘Looks like a band is going to live.’

She focused on the screen for once.

Shortly thereafter, Testa came up on stage.

But they… … It was in casual clothes.

“uh… ?”

No, it was neat to be just casual wear. However, it was not conceptual like their usual idol stage outfits.

“uh? Aren’t you cosplaying?”

As my younger brother said, it wasn’t even the game character’s costume or hairstyle.

Testa was just natural. It looked like something out of a reality show.

Cha Yoo-jin smiled and took the standing mic.

-What makes people live?

CHOICE!

And the stage of the trailer song started with the live performance of the band.

DOOOM DOOOM DOOOM DOOOM ZZZZ-ING!

-I’m gonna survive.

Like you did before

Park Moon-dae entered the high-pitched introduction very coolly.

Testa sang while holding their own standing microphones.

“… … !”

than the sound… It was nice to hear.

The younger brother shrugged.

“Do you sing?”

Testa was originally good at live.

However, it was the first time a performance was performed that allowed only the music to be listened to without any other elements.

In fact, most of the fans watching this program right now assumed that Testa would somehow direct or choreograph this stage.

But nothing like that.

It was just a stage where you could enjoy the song cleanly and coolly.

He used facial expressions well and his gestures weren’t awkward, so he dragged the stage all the way with just that.

-Choose your way

Choose your side

I felt confident.

-Survive!

Testa brilliantly presented a game collaboration song with the image of a classic singer, not a character performer.

The siblings also opened their mouths in line with the applause and cheers on the screen.

“and… … .”

“Come~ I admit this.”

Kim Rae-bin’s fan didn’t answer, “Are you freaking out about admitting who you are?” Instead, he tapped the desk in excitement.

‘Anyway, the stage is really good!’

There was no perfect line drawing.

‘We’re not part of the game, we’re the < Singer > who made the OST for this game!’ shout out

And because he had enough talent as a singer, the line drawing was natural and worked well.

[Wow~ That’s awesome!]

This composition was also revealed in the small amount of talk after the first stage.
