Debut or Die - Chapter 198

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 198

A few days after Testa returned to Korea to prepare for a full-scale encore concert.

“It’s been a while since Seoul!”

Testa’s first manager, now the only manager, smiled and headed to the company.

It’s not that there are no inconveniences to handle the work alone that originally handled the two of them, but it was somehow easy.

After all, Testa wasn’t such a picky group.

‘It seems like they’re fighting against me these days, but maybe it’s because the kids are swearing at me a lot.’

Besides, most of the work was distributed to the newly contracted tour staff, so the manager was having a more comfortable time than when he was in Korea.

Originally, it was his responsibility to check and manage the condition of each individual, but he gradually let go of it inertia.

Even that was because the leader, a former athlete who was used to this kind of thing, voluntarily took care of it.

-Aren’t there any kids who say they’re sick?

-yes. It seems that only the Mundae upper body massage can be scheduled separately.

In short, it was a bit of a slump.

In this industry, common sense is ridiculous enough to be honey, but originally, people get used to the seat where they sit.

‘Here, I’ll have to hold on well during the prime of my life, then move on after I’m craving for a bit of career.’

Recently, the company has been paying less attention to Testa as it has been focusing on the newly launched female idol.

Rumors also circulated that female idols, who are usually more popular than male idols, suit the current general manager’s taste.

‘Looks like you did something this time?’

The manager recalled Testa’s reaction a few days ago.

– Hyung’s fans really don’t like it… Any other stories from the company?

– He’s so openly a magical boy, even to us, he’s like that~

– Huh? Aren’t agencies like A always using these references a little at a time? Fans will soon forget! Where has this happened once or twice?

I had already received a word from the company saying, ‘If there is any objection, please hand it over in moderation’.

It was natural that it would be easier to deal with Testa than to object to the company.

And the manager was already convinced that it wouldn’t be too difficult.

‘As expected, it was so fuzzy~’

Well, it’s not like Testa is going to ruin just because it’s like this, aren’t they going to do well just by looking at it? There is no problem with the manager’s own career.

So, it was best to calm down and not to do unnecessarily tiring work.

“Ah, everything is here~”

The visiting manager, who arrived at the company thinking, met an unexpected face in the parking lot.

“hello!”

“Oh yeah~”

It was the second manager. No, although now he has been transferred to the manager of the junior group Mirinae.

Even though he thought he was stupid, the manager continued small talk.

“Who are you waiting for?”

“Ah, Mirina is meeting with the manager right now. I am waiting!”

“Oh yeah? what kind of manager are you? Why did we meet?”

“I heard you shouldn’t tell the other team… does it?”

This kind of overbearing part was very annoying.

Isn’t it common sense to have a social life!

‘Won’t it last long?’

It was frustrating, but I was relieved to have sent it away, but I still missed the guy who did the chores.

‘I hope the next guy comes with something a little compliant and nimble.’

The manager passed the time with coffee, thinking about the soon-to-be recruited staff.

And after hearing the story after a formal report from the company, I slowly returned to Testa’s dorm.

‘Brief the schedule appropriately and shout a little fighting in a proud style~’ This was the manager’s expectation for today.

However, the moment I entered the hostel, I realized that something was wrong.

“Oh, you’re here~”

“Welcome!”

There was a table set with some donuts and drinks in the inn.

And a stranger was sitting at the kitchen table, fiddling with his smartphone.

‘what??’

“Guys, who is that… .”

“Oh hello. This is the new manager. i look forward to.”

“… ??”

The guy who was sitting then slowly got up and greeted the first manager casually.

‘What is this bastard?’

A second manager you’ve never heard of? And what is this insincere attitude?

The first manager asked, not hiding his doubts and irritation.

Isn’t it a situation where even a real new manager needs to say something!

“I’ve never heard of a new manager. Who is it? Are you really the manager? who are you?”

“My official duty is next week, so my brother asked me to say hello today. Didn’t you hear today?”

“brother??”

Moondae Park interrupted with a faint smile.

“I heard that you are the management chief’s cousin.”

“… !!”

“Ah, you’re saying this because you don’t believe me.”

The man claiming to be the second manager held out his smartphone with a crooked attitude.

“Would you like to make a phone call?”

On the smartphone screen, a familiar name floated along with the modifier ‘cousin brother’.

The management director was right.

‘What is this… ?!’

The first manager’s eyes widened.

* * *

“Good luck~”

“Yes, see you next week.”

The guy who would become the second manager returned a proper greeting and left soon after.

They said that he had put in a guy who lives as an unemployed man, but he doesn’t seem to have much passion for work, but it didn’t matter. don’t even expect

In the first place, the first manager is also a guy who only does the basics.

‘The important thing is the thoughts of the management chief.’

The gesture that a guy with only that name started making ‘his own line’ for the company was important.

‘It worked well.’

I shrugged and turned away from the porch.

“Would you like another donut?”

Just then, Kim Rae-bin picked up a box of donuts from the table.

“No, not hungry. Eat a lot of you.”

“All right!”

okay. Eat a lot.

The guy who bought those donuts got in because of you anyway.

I recalled the schedule of the first day of entry.

It was a recording studio schedule for a new song for an encore concert.

The style of the team members preferred to tune in to the sound source before practice, so it progressed the fastest.

Of course, it is a position where you work directly with the AR team.

-Hello~

-Thank you very much.

It was the time when each unit was recording after saying hello to the A&R team members who had gotten quite used to it.

I spoke to Kim Rae-bin, who was waiting for the recording.

At a distance where the staff scattered around the recording booth could hear them.

-Do you care a lot?

-yes?

– ‘Magical Boy’ came from another group teaser.

-ah… … .

Kim Rae-bin’s face darkened at once.

-If it’s a decision made by the company, there’s nothing you can do about it, but I think it would be nice if you asked for your understanding first.

-It’s a little unfair.

-yes.

A tuk-tuk will take care of where you are going. Raebin Kim nodded and shrugged his shoulders.

‘excellent.’

I got lucky once again by following the nuance of what Rabin Kim said on the way back from meeting my juniors last time.

-Actually, a lot of your opinions went into the arrangement and concept at that time. me too… We don’t know, but it would have been nice if you had asked for your opinion.

– Oh no! As for the overall concept, Moondae-hyung even decided on the image and symbol, but I think you should have discussed it with him… !

-okay? thanks. However, your efforts are greater.

Let’s get a little more emotional here.

I muttered in a slightly depressed tone.

-… We worked really hard back then. I can barely sleep.

-yes… … . I worked hard… .

Kim Rae-bin is now almost crying. Thinking back to that time, he seemed more immersed.

good.

I deliberately called the AR team nearby.

– I’m sorry, but is there tissue paper here?

– Oh here… !

As expected, the employee seemed to be listening, so he quickly found a tissue paper and held it out.

I pulled out a tissue paper and held it out to Kim Rae-bin’s face so that I could feel sorry for him even more.

Of course, Kim Rae-bin, who was not really crying, tried to answer honestly.

-… ? i’m fine… .

– Just write.

I directly took a picture of his dry face. Kim Rae-bin seemed to have a head full of question marks, but the effect was clear.

On the other side, I could see the staff exchanging glances of ‘maybe it’s good’.

‘The AR team secretly likes Kim Rae-bin the most.’

Because he communicates well and he is a composer, so we interact the most. Besides, he has a gentle personality, so I know that he thinks like the youngest member of the team.

And on that team, many of the staff split together watching Testa struggle during his debut.

This means that there must have been many people who were baffled by the decision to use the concept of the debut song and write the top line.

‘But there is no one to speak out.’

As I collect real exhaustive career positions, there is no one who has personal acquaintance or personal connections with the upper ranks.

‘So next, I encourage people with connections.’

That’s why I contacted the management office.

First of all, I sent a message with a light gift.

-hello. Chief. It’s nothing else, Testa received a lot of help from the management room during the recent tour, so as a token of gratitude… … .

In fact, during the tour, I usually meet people from the management room, so a rough cause is fine.

If you send vitamins in moderation according to the number of employees there, of course, the manager will come back with a thank you gesture.

usually by phone.

-Ah, I received the vitamins well. Thank you. Mr. Moondae

– The members all discussed it and sent it. What? Thanks to the people in the management office who took care of us, we are safely carrying out our schedule throughout this tour.

Throwing rice cakes at this timing.

And this rice cake is based on a fairly plausible grasp of the current situation.

‘The management office fell out of favor with the current head of the headquarters early on.’

Because the head of the headquarters this time is not an idiot, and there is no way he doesn’t know the decisive reason why he came here.

A major accident called industrial espionage occurred in the management office.

Since there is a relationship with the headquarters, there will be no problem in maintaining the position of the head of the management department, but influence is a slightly different issue.

‘I’ll be a bit alienated from the front-line decision-making.’

Still, since the industrial espionage incident, he seems to be working with a lot of tension.

It would have been rare to have experienced being ignored in my life if I had come in by parachute and worked, but the current situation has no choice but to be more intolerable.

going to scrape it off.

-And when we talked about that strange assistant manager, he listened to us seriously… … thank you. There were some people from other companies who pretended not to know, so I wondered if I was being sensitive even though it wasn’t a big deal.

Let’s give a clue that we can distort and beautify the industrial espionage case by ourselves, saying, ‘I was the head of the department, so I was quick to deal with it, but I’m being treated unfairly.’

-Thanks to the director, I am safe and active even now.

-haha! you’re welcome!

Look at this. I ate it without humility.

In addition, if the AR team spreads public opinions such as ‘the head of the headquarters made an excessive number this time’ and ‘they did too much to the testa kids’ to the working-level staff, the manager can make a clearer rationalization.

It is a great delusion that ‘the general manager who is unable to work keeps himself in check’.

I knew that if the condition matured well for a few days, it would act as a driving force to hit the headquarters once.

‘Since it’s a parachute, there’s no fear of being fired if things go wrong, so I’ll just do it with confidence and impulse.’

And fortunately, as if the mulberry was properly filled, the manager immediately put his cousin as the new manager of Testa this morning… it came up to

‘It’s going to be shit.’

I lay on the sofa and watched Yujin Cha finish the remaining donuts.

“Stop eating! Are you a pig?”

“I am a tiger!”

“Tigers are carnivores that don’t eat wheat, but now you eat sugar and flour… .”

hmm peaceful

‘The next one must have exploded soon.’

Of course, it could end in a misfire, so shouldn’t there be several land mines?

‘I think that junior is good at talking.’

I decided to wait patiently for the next bomb.
