Debut or Die - Chapter 191
If you don’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 191 Actually,
when this reality program was planned, it was a simple travel and healing concept.
With the addition of the director’s American bottle and the addition of a part that reacts to American culture, the composition was very obvious.
‘I guess it’ll end after seeing only some fans.’
Just got an estimate.
Well-known idols appear only to heal, so how can they remain popular for so long?
That’s why the reality show crews were also languishing. It seemed that it was because they were already having fun picking out provocative pictures that harassed the cast.
So it was rather easy to catch.
– Wouldn’t it be more fun if the program had some curves? Whether we earn our own travel expenses… … .
-Isn’t that right??
I was fishing right away.
The general manager was already preoccupied with the prospective junior group, so he passed the change easily.
And, as expected, the reality crew started to reconstruct the concept of ‘making money and playing’ in the most stimulating way.
… On the first day of filming, it means that I did not expect that I would go through the back with a debt claim.
“Ah, it was so worn that day that it was so difficult to restore it.”
“That is correct. I learned the importance of responsible consumption… .”
“What did we eat then? Lobster?”
“Lobster and King Crab! It is very delicious!”
“Yeah, it was delicious… … .”
Cha Yoo-jin’s clear remarks made some of them look sad. It was worth it.
‘The production crew deliberately drove it to an expensive course.’
-No~ You can really go anywhere!
By saying it this way.
All the members commented that the nuance sounded like ‘playing to your heart’s content on the first day will motivate you to work hard to go back to play’.
So, on the first day, I watched dolphins, ate lobster, and slept at a luxury resort in Cape May, a resort city in New Jersey.
And here is the amount charged:
“But I didn’t expect to charge you $4,000 raw.”
“therefore.”
It is about 4.5 million won in Korean currency.
At least, I would still be in debt if I hadn’t reduced the price to 1,800 dollars by asking, “Shouldn’t I stay at the accommodation even if I’m not playing?”
It was a very shocking start, but looking back, I think it was definitely fun.
It’s not that I don’t really have that money, it’s betrayal and shock in entertainment, so there’s nothing particularly sadistic about it.
‘All the staff laughed… … .’
I remember Bae Se-jin looking at them with a face full of betrayal.
Anyway, after that, I worked like a cow, paid off the debt in three days, and saved $800 for the theme park tomorrow.
It’s a pleasure beyond expectations.
‘… I was so immersed in it because making money is addictive.’
Cash comes and goes, but it felt different when it was really in my hands.
I played one more time in the middle, but I don’t think it had much of an impact because all I did was run around the beach snacking on things to play as cheaply as possible.
‘So this time, it’s better to edit with some stimulation.’
“Okay, let’s plan and use it well tomorrow.”
“Hwa fighting!”
“Testa was great today too~”
It seemed like the theme park tomorrow would be a good opportunity. I’m going to spend all my savings and go back into debt.
The combination of the amusement park and safari tickets alone will already blow away $450, so that’s about $350 left… Spending 50,000 won per person is an instant.
‘It’s easy.’
This is all you need to do is attack Yujin Cha.
I untied my apron and hung it by the sink.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the program.

Testa’s reality show was released in two episodes each week.
However, only those who signed up for a paid membership could watch the sequel right away, and general users had to wait three more days to watch the sequel.
It was a preview composition that felt the will to take care of both money and topicality.
And the will worked well.
[Today’s Testa Exchange Warhol Reality]
The reaction to Episode 1, when Testa got scammed by the production team at the airport and ended up working on a part-time job for repayment of an interest-free loan, was very enthusiastic.
The percentage of paid membership subscribers increased noticeably.
In addition, there was one more goal of Park Moon-dae mixed in here.
That nuance was revealed from the scene where Testa finally realized the existence of debt.
[There is a small~ very small shop we rented! You can make a profit there!]
[Kim Rae-bin: Uh-huh.]
[Ryu Cheong-wu: Is there a fixed event? What kind of store is this?]
[There is no such thing, but if the cost exceeds 100 dollars, it will be added to the debt!]
[Lee Se-jin: Huh.]
Then a brazen subtitle appeared
[Ah~ you can sell anything you want haha]
But right after that, there was no expression. Park Moon-dae, who calmly listened to the production team, said this.
[Park Moon-dae: Then, let’s sell hotteok.]
[????]
[Seon Ah-hyun: Hotteok?]
[Lee Se-jin: Do you want to eat Mundae hotteok?]
[Park Moon-dae: No, it’s not an obvious menu, but I thought it would be competitive. The cost is cheap and the taste is good. I guess I just need to be good at inviting guests… I think everyone will do well.]
It was a persuasive tone. Sounds like ‘Oh’ and ‘It’s okay’ started coming out here and there.
Idols who got used to being hit in the back of the head a lot even before their debut quickly understood the situation on their own and started pioneering a survival route.
The weak point that if Testa is dragged too one-sidedly by the production team, it can be boring and frustrating, has disappeared.
And on the contrary, the producers started to panic.
[Lee Se-jin: But is there a place that sells them?]
[Seon Ah-hyun: There might be a Korean mart nearby… ? Many Koreans live in New Jersey… I think I heard it!]
[Park Moon-dae: Uh. And I make hotteok well.]
[Lee Se-jin: Oh~ Confidence!]
[Cha Yu-jin: I’m in! (Expression of confidence)]
[Cheongwoo Ryu: That’s good. Oh, it would go well with chocolate or ice cream on top.]
Even Bae Se-jin nodded nervously, and the agreement was over in an instant.
Ryu Cheong-woo answered the production team in a refreshing way.
[Cheongwoo Ryu: Okay. We’ll sell hotteok.]
[PD: Is that so? Anything else you’d like to consider? Well, it doesn’t have to be food, there are many of them~]
[Cha Yujin: None!]
The member’s cheerful refusal and the PD looking at the sky were included in the cutscene.
[Expecting Testa’s numerous trials and errors]
[We prepared numerous mini-games.]
[But in the end, we couldn’t use any of them and sent them back to Korea… .]
Along with the blue sky, cheerful country music played funny.
[☆Decision to open Testa’s hotteok shop☆]
[(Takes 5 minutes)]
That’s how Testa started selling hotteok in a corner of the American beach… was a composition.
It was a choice that caught all three popular types of money, food, and gukppong.
[That employee is cute!]
[Hotteok? It’s crispy and very delicious.]
And after a lot of twists and turns while hearing compliments from foreigners who don’t know Testa, the scene of selling hotteok was briefly inserted into the trailer.
It was no wonder that people couldn’t stand this familiar taste of entertainment and paid for paid memberships.
-There is no such thing as a devil in the production
team. It’s funny hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-Wow, idol reality shows do this too. It’s amazing
. This taste…
It’s the taste of gukppong!
-I didn’t know it would be so funny.
Comments from people who were a bit excited for the next episode quickly ran.
Fortunately, that expectation was not betrayed.
In the second part that followed, Testa started running the store, boasting quite good teamwork.
And a few days later, the reality show progressed at a fun and fast tempo until the 3rd episode, when I took time off to see the beach.
[What kind of club are you? College student? High school students?]
[Similar! Dancing and singing~]
The scene where Cha Yoo-jin smiles and speaks half-seriously made the taste of the so-called ‘meta that hides power’ truly felt.
People’s reactions to episodes 2 and 3, which faithfully filled the expected scenes, did not cool down.
-Hey, these guys are really good at their work. I won’t starve anywhere hahaha
-The fact that they spread food tasting and drink coupons on the beach for publicity is really smart. Lee Se-jin is a genius as expected;
-Cheongwoo is hot even by American standards… I thought so. -Hotteok ice cream is really crazy
. They
call
delivery. Only Americans eat it, but
even
Lovers
eat
it .
Only hamster hahahahahaha
└Our hamster works hard.
As the entertainment type character was discovered, there was also an effect that some of the members’ images became somewhat softer.
And finally, the thrilling moment of going to the theme park with sales exceeding 1,000 dollars.
The scene in which Testa, who had deliberately decided to spend only her savings, was smashed to death caused laughter as it went through editing.
The trigger was Park Moon-dae as determined by Park Moon-dae.
[Park Moon-dae: That’s cute.]
[Lee Se-jin: Huh~ Buying something like that would end our budget!]
[Park Moon-dae: … yes. I’m sorry.]
Park Moon-dae reacted slightly sullenly to Lee Se-jin’s gag conte at the souvenir shop.
After the big exclamation mark, the editing with countless exclamation marks came in, and then Cha Yu-jin intervened.
[Cha Yoo-jin: Buy! Let’s buy it!]
[Raebin Kim: Huh??]
[Ahyeon Sun: Yes, I think it’ll be fine… !]
[Cha Yujin: Working again! Earn again!]
[Bae Se-jin: That’s true, but.]
Ryu Chung-woo was away at the same time.
The moment Bae Se-jin, the eldest, was taken aback by Cha Yu-jin’s assertive assertion, Cha Yu-jin deliberately pretended to be pitiful.
[Cha Yujin: Enjoy today! We’re working hard… … ]
[Bae Se-jin: … Then, just this time.]
[Cha Yoo-jin : Yeah!]
So Testa went shopping at a souvenir shop with the rationalization of ‘buying this only this time’.
The subtitles of the happy production team went in.
[Of course, it didn’t end just this time♡]
That’s right.
Saying it was easy once you did it once, Testa went through a similar pattern and started buying all sorts of souvenirs and snacks.
And in the end, he started to reach out to the production team finances.
[This is the amount you can earn even if you work for three hours!]
[Ahyeon Sun: That’s true, but… … .]
[Cha Yoo-jin: That’s right!]
[Bae Se-jin: (confused)]
[I don’t even have interest! It’s everyone’s first trip to the US!]
The result of falling for this trick.
[Today’s settlement… hey! Minus 1 012 dollars!]
[!!!!]
It ended like this.
[You must work hard, everyone~]
Episode 4 ended with Testa embracing a doll and a hat full of cushions, returning to the dorm with a confused face.
-ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ I have all the money.
-This is why loan advertisements are
so dangerous .
First time seeing good sound
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Even the Gold Disc Awards ceremony was held just in time for the week when Testa’s history of the theme park was over.
It means that it was the state where Testa entered the country.
Reality viewers have already been waiting for that day.
It was because it was an opportunity to laugh if the number of cases was caught even a little.
-Add Hotteok to Testa’s cheering method
-Ah, just looking at her face makes me smile
-I want to see her soon, guys, it’s real hahahaha
-If it’s certified as a souvenir, it would be a legend,
but it wasn’t just their fans who were waiting for Testa’s schedule in Korea.
* * *
“Whoa.”
The evening of the day Testa entered the country.
Sitting in the lobby for company officials, the rookie idol waited quite a while to meet Testa.
‘… He said he was stopping by the office today.’
The news was delivered by their manager, who also worked as Testa’s manager, so it was a reliable word.
The idol thought calmly as he clasped his hands together.
‘Calm down. I have to speak well today.’
Then the automatic door to the parking lot opened.
“… … !”
What comes after that… There were several tall men wearing hats and masks.
It was a testa.
‘come… !’
The rookie idol jumped up and ran towards it.
“Hello, senior!”
The contestant who debuted in second place in Season 4 of < Azusa >, a newcomer from the same company as Testa, bowed his head to them.
“yes? ah yes hello.”
“Ah, nice to meet you.”
“Yes! I’m really sorry, but if you don’t mind, can I talk to you for a moment… !”
“… … .”
It was extremely polite and desperate.
There was no particular attitude of the new employee toward the boss.
“uh… … .”
Among Testa, who exchanged glances with a little embarrassment, Park Moon-dae was slightly impressed.
‘oh.’
A feeling came.
I felt like I was going to unravel the story of the general manager.
