Debut or Die - Chapter 228
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 228
Formation of an artist-only team for Testa.
On the surface, it was supposed to be carried out by the Planning and Coordination Office, but in reality, it was expected that the general manager’s influence would also enter.
‘There’s no way he would fall for something like this because of his tendency.’
Even if the words came down from the head office, he would have wanted to somehow adjust the direction to suit his taste.
So I was considering a way to gently stir up the management room one more time in order to intervene under the pretext of mediation.
I thought I would make a gap even if I had to accept the number of kkakdugi there… .
There was no need for that.
‘They just do it.’
– Oh sure! Of course, the opinions of the testers should be reflected… .
It was a declaration of surrender that Testa’s intention would be reflected as much as possible in the planning of the dedicated team just by expressing its intention.
‘What.’
I wondered how this could be possible, but it turned out to be simple.
It was because the activity signal this time was so good.
Even though it’s been just over a week since we’ve been active, the response has been beyond our expectations.
Beyond measurable factors such as album sales and music charts, in terms of feeling.
[Am I doing this… ? Testa call challenge!]
[Follow nail: Testa (TeSTAR) call (Nightmare) ｜ Personal customization and interpretation included! : )]
Even if you’re not a fan, people who watch, follow, or comment on it pop up all of a sudden, and stories come out in communities or everyday life that have nothing to do with idols.
Wetube entertainment programs belonging to popular broadcasting stations quickly pick up music video elements and use them.
To sum this up in one word, this is it.
‘It’s the beginning of a fad.’
In fact, I felt it only on stage.
Yesterday, the stage of a culture and arts promotion event was broadcast on the airwaves, and it was live there.
-Oh oh oh…
It was because I felt that the fans of other groups were especially excited to watch our stage.
Even VTIC fans.
In the meantime, I felt that fans of other idols were responding with appropriate restraint while watching, but that kind of hesitancy has disappeared.
This meant that a consensus on fashion had already been formed.
No matter how much idol fans are the internet and intimate fan base, in just one week.
‘… Of course, the response from our fans was above average.’
The tearing moaning and shouting that had been heard non-stop, all the way to the inside of the in-ear, automatically came to mind.
– Kkeaaaaaaaaaaagh!!
-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
what is this… It could also be due to the nature of the concept.
Anyway, overall, it means that the explosion of tremendous grades and topicality was not unusual.
To put it bluntly, the kid standing on the ending stage of this event started greeting with these words.
-congratulation. Will you hit the target?
-… I don’t know how.
-haha. don’t know what
-… .
– It’s obvious how it will flow.
With those words, Cheong-rye went up to the stage.
‘X feet.’
I don’t think he’ll hit my head with an Ohama anymore, but why does that bastard still have flaws in his head?
‘The dog looked fine.’
Anyway, his solo performance was as high as the group’s, so there’s no reason to blame Testa for coming to a slump.
And in fact… He was right.
‘I think I can get the grand prize.’
If the activities continue without controversy like this, looking at the results and momentum so far, at least one or two places have been confirmed.
‘Usually, divisions are divided into 2 or 3 categories, so even if you omit the VTIC seat, you can see the angle.’
And to sum it all up in one sentence:
The ransom was skyrocketing.
“Did you see the unit price of our advertisement at Moondaemun University?”
“okay.”
It was twice the highest amount at the time of ‘March’.
It seems like the agency chooses only those with good images at the highest price, but it was ridiculously encouraging.
‘Even on the way, the first team treatment started.’
Now, even the story of the generational change against VTIC seems to be coming out with credibility.
So, the agency thought the same way.
‘It’s going to be a long-term battle, so let’s calm them down and maintain a good relationship’.
In the meantime, it was unclear whether or not to renew the contract, so the sign of trying to pull out all the spines that could be pulled out within 5 years somehow disappeared.
It’s too wasteful to eat it after only 5 years.
Of course, at the same time, it seemed like the gags would start trying to catch weaknesses somehow until the contract renewal season, but we’ll talk about that later.
First of all, let’s pay attention to the fact that the agency’s employees act like Eul to please Testa even when she comes out tough.
‘It seems that the fact that Kim Rae-bin handled progress issues in a rather rigid manner with a notice to the agency while working from home also had an impact as a precedent.’
It seems that he even asked if there was a problem with the dedicated team because he was worried that he would mess around with nothing this time.
So, the group’s internal meeting related to the dedicated team was able to split the schedule during this busy period of activity.
But to no avail.
“first… I would like those of the AR team who have worked with us since ‘Magical Boy’ to come.”
Kim Rae-bin raised his hand.
“I totally agree with that statement! And they said they were willing to come too.”
“… ??”
Suddenly, an impromptu spokesperson jumped out.
“Rabin, when… Um, did you ask?”
Rabin Kim said proudly.
“In fact, as soon as rumors of the dedicated team spread, we talked about it and they said they would come!”
“… … .”
“Rabin, there are security issues, so be careful… .”
“Oops sorry! When the AR team brings up the topic first… .”
Because it was like this.
Those who wanted to come already heard the story of knowing and finished appealing to the people involved.
And since the company is suddenly trying to make friendly gestures to Testa, everything seems to be okay.
I touched my chin.
‘This has already been implicitly agreed upon.’
Therefore, there was nothing to agree on other than the company notifying the existing working-level staff and asking for someone to turn to the rookie side.
“Okay, then let’s tell them that we want to be with them.”
“Yeep.”
However, as the silence flowed, Bae Se-jin noticed and opened his mouth.
“… So, isn’t it just for new job seekers? what… Like watching that interview.”
Oh, that’s a fairly reasonable opinion.
It is true that about one-third of the dedicated team decided to add new personnel.
Especially the management staff.
Liu Qingyu nodded.
“Hmm, it would be nice to have some time to get to know the newcomers as well.”
However, there are practical problems.
Big Sejin opened his mouth first before I said anything.
“But I don’t know if we have time for that, right?”
okay. right.
With barely enough time for this meeting, where is the time to watch other people’s interviews?
I crossed my arms.
‘Anyway, it takes time to make a preliminary question to see if the work style is right… .’
ah.
I thought of a way to try it out.
I muttered inwardly.
‘Status window.’
I wonder if it’s time to spin the slot machine one more time.
‘Hmm, I want to say ‘Sleep is to die and sleep’ one more time.’
Or the ability to stretch a day to 30 hours… It’s good to increase work speed.
Check the status once.

! Status Abnormality: If you are not a spectator, death
Points remaining: 1
‘There is a natural increase.’
S- became S, as if the overuse of the neck was worthwhile. Somehow, the reviews have been better lately.
It cannot be denied that there is a sense of accomplishment.
‘good. Then next.’
Other changes… You level up once, and you draw twice for the attributes you accumulated through the pop-up.
‘Because the term hasn’t been that long since the last check.’
To be honest, it was amazing to build this much in just a few months. It also means that Spring Out and this promotion are impressive.
so… For now, I’m thinking of putting the points aside and trying to draw or spend the necessary traits.
‘It’s funny to call it a waste of time after taking it twice.’
Didn’t I eat only one S at the end after turning it 5 times last time?
But now I know for sure.
‘It’s obvious that I’m giving you the characteristics I need right now, so spit it out.’
I stared at the sparkling ‘Click’ phrase in the pop-up window and pressed it while pretending to raise my arm.
Number two.
The lever in the picture turned and the compartments flashed in different colors.
Passing through the candidates I saw once… It was the golden khan that stopped.
Grade B.
It looks like a flat stroke, but if you read the letters in the box, you will change your mind.
Papapang!
[Obtain ‘Bacchus 500 (B)’!]
“… … !!”
[Attribute: Bacchus 500 (B)]
– Clear mind and healthy body!
: All fatigue cumulative speed -50%
The fatigue recovery totem that has been extremely useful has reappeared.
And the unexpected pop-up also appeared.
[Check the same characteristics!]
Do you want to synthesize ‘Bacchus 500 (B)’?
‘also!’
The time has finally come to enhance this essential trait… !
I unknowingly clenched my fists.
“It’s dumb… ?”
“Are you okay?”
It was so good it was awesome.
“I’m looking forward to it and it feels so good to hear that a dedicated team is being formed.”
“That’s right!”
“Hey, I guess it’s really like that. It’s been a while since you’ve answered a question this long.
You can stop making excuses and let’s go.
I immediately clicked ‘yes’.
A round indicator appeared on the status window as if it were loading, and soon a flashy fanfare erupted.
[Synthesis Success!]
Obtained ‘Bacchus 1000 (A)’!
Clear mind and strong body!
-All fatigue cumulative speed -50%
All fatigue recovery speed +100%
.
‘It has more recovery options.’
Isn’t it enough to sleep like this once every two days?
What is certain is that there is no hindrance to activities and you can squeeze in the time to create questions and answers for interviews.
‘It’s a huge benefit in the long run.’
The rebound on vacation… Well, it’s always been like that, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a little worse.
There are no aftereffects, but I lie down for three days. No, since recovery has been added, the taste may not go away during the vacation.
‘Come to think of it, I didn’t go through it this vacation.’
Perhaps taking care of Kim Rae-bin was treated as a kind of work, so the status window did not judge it as a vacation.
Anyway, I didn’t expect this dubious game system to spit out something useful this time.
‘good.’
I hope you will be so cooperative in the future. I don’t know if it’s going to end like this, but I have to do this much.
I looked at the updated properties window in the status window with satisfaction, then nodded.
“Does Moondae nod now?”
“Isn’t it just imagining the people on the dedicated team… ?”
don’t pretend it’s the same
The launch of a dedicated team has already been expected.
To be precise, the effect that the launch will bring.
* * *
Testa’s first manager frowned on his way to work.
‘X feet.’
The work is getting more and more difficult because the kids are hot and arrogant.
They say that if you get star disease, you will treat the staff first, isn’t that just the case?
Even a parachute came in and took away the position he had worked for, and the opportunity for promotion was pushed back.
In his judgment, there was no X small entertainment that seemed to be drawn. The manager was incensed at this unfair situation, but was frustrated because there was no countermeasure.
‘But I just need to hold out for a bit.’
In a few days, Testa will also be celebrating its second anniversary. Then his career will soon fill up 2 years.
Since the number of digits was different, I was thinking of taking this and going to a career position.
‘I’ll hit you all over the back at that time.’
The manager, who knew the confidentiality clause and shouted out loud for no reason, went to the company without hesitation.
Due to working all night, Testa was all in the company conference room.
But the moment you enter the lobby.
He was suddenly called to the personnel team. And then I heard the thunderous news.
“yes?”
“therefore… Because it’s not a joke. You don’t have to come out tomorrow.”
It was the news of the layoff.
The manager looked at the team leader dumbfounded and exchanged a few words, but soon realized that there was no room for negotiation.
“Take off your luggage, huh?”
Immediately, the emotions suppressed by the fear of being fired surged up.
It was anger.
“No, chief. what now… Isn’t this unfair?”
The manager’s expression that he didn’t want to talk more because he was ridiculous made him more angry, but soon the team leader became stiff in the recording he was playing.
-Hyung, we are on the move because Rabin’s grandmother passed out… .
-what? this morning?
-Yes, you should come ‘this morning’. We are on the move right now, so please wait nearby as soon as possible.
-… uh okay
And a small swearing sound as it cuts off.
“… … .”
If Testa wasn’t very popular, or if there was no connection at the head office, or if the manager had a connection, it could be passed over.
I don’t know how I could have been able to criticize him for being rude because he was friendly.
But unfortunately for the manager, not all three.
“Yesterday, the artist’s phone cloud was hacked and almost spread. know?”
“… … uh uh uh.”
“Hey just… go out nicely Huh? If this gets out of the press, you have to leave Korea. Look at the atmosphere right now.”
It was a sentence of no recovery.
The manager left the company on his own accord.
And Park Mun-dae, who heard the news from the upper floor by the AR team who was excited about gossip, laughed.
‘Stupid bastard.’
He had never turned off the call recording setting since high school.
‘I sent one.’
It was cool inside.
He continued to prepare for the next one with his body spinning by nature.
‘… 2nd anniversary.’
Testa’s debut date, June 18th, was just around the corner.
