Debut or Die - Chapter 154

If you can’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 154 Testa

‘s album this time, of course, was expected by fans, but at the same time, some fans were also concerned.

It was because of the announcement of each member’s solo song.

-Ah, it’s already a solo song,

what should I do

?

was not directly indicated.

It’s because it’s released as one album anyway, and it’s exposed together under the group’s name, so in the end, the rankings are different in terms of the popularity of the song.

However, due to the nature of the survival group, it was unavoidable that real-time broadcasting of ‘sound score by testa member’ was expected.

Testa’s teaser was announced when such slight concerns were growing in high expectations.

It was a video preview using WeTube’s first release function.

This means that the video will be released one day later.

[TeSTAR’s ‘Present’ Official Teaser]

A thumbnail with no hint of ‘an arrow stuck in a tree in a dark forest’ appeared together.

It didn’t arouse much interest, so people were amused.

-I think historical dramas are true

-Is this on purpose

-Arrows

?

Because the length of the video was 8 minutes and 12 seconds.

-It’s a teaser! It’s a teaser!

-There is a group that beats the trailer for 8 minutes??

-Guys, what the hell is going on? I’m crazy so curious

. -Isn’t that a mistake?

KPOP music video teasers were usually short, under one minute. Eight minutes was unusually long.

Of course, there was nothing fatal about being long. After all, teasers are now more like fulfilling fans’ expectations rather than promoting them.

Still, among the fans who care about the results, there are people who regret it.

Since it’s a teaser, few people will see it unless they’re already fans, but since it’s 8 minutes long, it was obvious that the number of views would decrease.

It was a situation where appearances on American programs were booming and an influx of overseas K-pop fans was expected, so there was something I wanted to quickly confirm.

– No matter how many teaser views are not used as material… It would be better if it was shorter.

-I think it would have been better to split it up and release it in several pieces, but I don’t know.

-Please, isn’t it a T1 gamseong shinpa no jam story music video? Say no

– I think it’s time to go crazy at this point,

but I hope it’s not. I hope I spent the money wisely.

-It’s so good that it’s 8 minutes. You can see the kids’ faces from the teaser for a long time

. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -I’m so excited

-How can I wait 24 hours

-I waited for the first release and it ended in 30 seconds, I think I’m really going crazy

. I waited impatiently for the release.

and on the day of release.

In the real-time chat of the teaser video, people waiting for the first release were amicably shocked.

-????

-What is it?

As fans speculated, the teaser was very authentic historical drama style.

However, the roles the members played were not people.

The video starts with a huge palace, goes into it as if being sucked in, turns around the corner, opens one of the paper doors, and enters.

It was a library full of books.

Among them, the screen followed an old, worn-out book lying open on the floor.

Inside, an arm rising from the sea was drawn roughly in ink.

At that moment, the video changed to a real beach.

Parruk.

The screen went into the sea in an instant and reflected a human figure lying on a huge rock under the water.

In-young was Seon Ah-hyun with blonde hair in a loose white robe.

Sunlight broke through the blue waters and shimmered on the white faces on the rocks. It was a beautiful but bizarre landscape.

At the bottom, a white subtitle appeared in an old-fashioned font.

[Breath]

It was the name of the song that was on the released track list.

And along with the thrilling gayageum sound, Seon Ah-hyun’s solo song came out.

At that moment, Seon Ah-hyun got up and started dancing slowly in the water.

It wasn’t a choreography set in the song, it was just a beautiful movement.

The hair and application drew a graceful line in the water.

-Wow ㅠㅠㅠ

-Really handsome -Are

you crazy about underwater photography ?

And I thought.

‘Seonahyeon’s solo song is the intro!’

However, as soon as the beautiful underwater performance was over, the camera made eye contact with Seon Ah-hyun in the foam and soared from the sea again.

Then, he approached the sandy beach with a strange circular pattern drawn with mother-of-pearl.

When the evening sun was setting, In-young, who had been crouching in the pattern, stretched out and stood up.

It was Cha Yu-jin who covered her mouth with one hand.

On the cheeks, collarbones, and backs of the hands, the old Hangeul letters in strange handwriting shone like patterns in five-colored mother-of-pearl.

Tiding Ting Ting Tiding!

A new song with an intense beat started with the sound of a gong.

[Rhythm]

It was Cha Yoo-jin’s solo song.

-uh?

-I missed it

-Oh no way

-Crazy Cha Yoo-jinㅠㅠㅠ

The reaction to Cha Yu-jin’s performance and strong speculation about the current situation were mixed in a dizzying mix, and the real-time comment window overflowed.

And their guess was correct.

In this way, the solo songs of all the members were subsequently introduced.

After Cha Yoo-jin, Bae Se-jin, blindfolded, sang a ballad melody while sitting on top of an old tree. There was a subtle chirping sound.

And the vision of the video entering the cave in the forest illuminated Kim Rae-bin, who uses lantern lights like neon.

Kim Rae-bin’s solo song was a future bass with saenghwang as the main sound.

After that, the camera came out of the cave and headed for an old thatched house in the forest.

In the middle of the rotten jangjimun of the thatched house, the strange colorful fabric doesn’t match.

Park Mun-dae was sitting on the veranda.

And the already familiar salt sound of ‘Flower Festival’ rang out.

-Wedding clothes!! Thank you

crazy

.

In the middle of it, Lee Se-jin performed a stunt-like dance to the sound of drums while wearing a huge tail-like waist accessory.

It was an upbeat, easy-listening song.

Naturally, the fans were happy.

-Hey, all the songs are good

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Hemeko good

-Oh, the visuals

-Ah, I want to get the album soon ㅠㅠ

-Please full video

-The most fruitful 8 minutes of my life

But after Lee Se-jin’s dance, he smiled and turned around and disappeared into the palace. The screen is off.

-???

-Where is Cheongwoo

? -Can’t you show the title?

-Is this a teaser?

Fans who were perplexed because they thought that not a single member would appear and the title song would not be shown, let out a sigh of relief when the screen turned back on.

-Is it a traffic error

? -Ah, fortunately

-It’s a problem because it was first released

. Along with the gayageum sound used in the solo song.

– Huh

– Again?

-Repeat error That’s right

It wasn’t an error.

Sun Ah-hyun on the screen stared at the camera for a while and then disappeared, and then Cha Yoo-jin on the sandy beach changed into a cut staring at the camera.

Next was Bae Se-jin.

However, even when the person changes, the sound of the Korean musical instrument in the background does not disappear and continues to accumulate.

-uh?

The members incorporated traditional Korean musical instruments one by one into the beat melody of the solo song.

As the Korean instruments entered harmoniously into the side one by one, a new beat melody began to be created.

Finally, as the screen shines on Lee Se-jin, the sound of drums can be heard and the song begins to take shape.

The moment modern instruments fill it.

The song suddenly stopped.

And on the back screen… A hand appeared.

[…] … .]

A large, sturdy hand picked up a book that had fallen to the floor. It was a book with a strange ink painting that first appeared.

The back of the book caught on camera.

[Records of the Ghost Report]

“Are you going to appear?”

The camera climbed up the hand and caught the owner of the arm.

It was Ryu Cheong-woo, who was wearing a Cheollick.

-You’re handsome

-Aak Chungwoo,

no matter what people say in the comments window, Ryu Chung-woo in the video robs the book with a complicated expression.

And with clear eyes, he answered someone off the screen.

“It should be.”

The melody exploded as I turned around and caught Ryu Cheng-wu’s back as he left the library.

Then, after walking out of the fence, Ryu Cheong-wu took out the bow from his back and aimed it at the forest.

It was a black lacquered national palace.

[They just appeared,

warning again,

the thrill of

approaching slowly]

The arrow flew with a piercing sound and pierced the huge bamboo deeply.

[B.]

The video ended with the arrow pointing into the tree.

It was a thumbnail.

-Crazy, crazy

-wa

-Is that just a title??

-Ahhh

-Is the other members catching?

-I love you, Testa ㅠㅠ

-Ah, is it crazy that all of the solo songs are connected!

The solo songs of the 1 members are connected to form the title song. And through the video, the story of the music video was implied.

In a sense, it was faithfully fulfilling the meaning of the teaser.

And it was a composition that clearly revealed that they thought about the organic perfection within the album.

This point was more clearly revealed in the information that was added to the ‘More’ section of the teaser video.

A list of the copyright holders of all songs in the album was included.

-What kind of songs have the names of the children

? -I made them all together

. It was the same even where it wasn’t his solo song.

And I felt a clear expression of intention from the fact that they dared to connect and show all of these from the teaser video.

‘Album songs are the work of a group’.

It means that even though there may be a line-up in the future with the number of views of the direct cam, the sound source in the album has been presented with a logic to defend against the comparison of each member’s performance.

-They are really serious about being a group

. -We’ll be

going with you until the dinner show.

Most of the fans of the Testa group who liked it and individual fans who were not aggressive were mostly satisfied.

However, Ryu Chung-woo’s fans reacted strangely.

Looking at the end of the teaser, it seems Ryu Chung-woo is the center of the title song, but it’s because he didn’t introduce the solo song.

-Couldn’t it be that there is only a video for Cheongwoo’s solo song?

-It’s crazy to pray for not having a core, but even

neglecting it is unbelievable hahaha ㅋㅋㅋ Disillusionment

– I hate that the atmosphere was set up so that people can’t protest even more.

‘They’re overdoing it before they even open the cover for the comeback’ and ‘The song didn’t appear in the teaser at all, but of course it makes me feel bad’, they exchanged a quiet fight.

Fortunately, it was captured and posted on Testa’s social media before it was displayed as a ‘controversial topic in the Testa fandom’.

————=

Hello Lover. Did you enjoy the teaser?

I’m a bit nervous after hearing the encouragement that my role in this activity is great, but I hope you look forward to the album.

Oh, I’m Ryu Cheong-woo. (Smiling emoticon)

————————=

It was an article with a nuance that said, ‘You don’t have to worry about the amount of Ryu Chung-woo’.

* * *

“Is this enough?”

“yes.”

“Hmm, maybe I’m being a bit cheeky.”

“No, don’t worry.”

“Haha okay. … thank you.”

“… you’re welcome.”

Liu Cheng-wu smiled and turned off his smartphone.

He didn’t seem to care too much about the reaction. It’s because it’s a reaction that will be able to take a look at the contents anyway.

Still, I thought it would be good to reassure them at this time, so I recommended it.

‘This is enough.’

After confirming that Ryu Cheng-wu’s fan opinion was ‘Let’s wait and see’, I brought up the articles I was reading earlier.

‘This takes longer.’

It was an article about the group that included Gold 1.

[Golden Age comeback countdown]

[Can we meet Golden Age testa from < Azusa >?]

[Blue music industry in August… From Testa to Golden Age]

In a word, these are articles that tell us that this group’s comeback coincides with Testa’s active period.

Of course, there was a composition that came to mind as soon as I saw it.

‘At our debut.’

This is the debut of Testa, which was tied with the immovable top-tier V-tic.

It was precisely the simultaneous activities that this composition reminded me of.

‘What?’

I clicked my tongue. Now I can definitely feel it.

These bastards do a good job.
