Debut or Die - Chapter 242
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 242
A few hours ago. Behind the stage set for Testa’s non-face-to-face donation concert.
“Do you need water?”
“it’s okay.”
Cheongryeo was used to backstage.
From a modest local festival at the time when ‘things didn’t go well’ to a stadium filled entirely with VTIC staff.
He repeatedly experienced all stages of the industry, and the familiarity was building up a deep layer inside him.
That’s why the members of VTIC were also used to the calmness of the leader.
He seemed to be born to do this invisible job under any circumstances.
So, after their debut, they quickly became calm as if contagious.
“Wow, this seems to be shaking secretly.”
“Iknow, right. I guess this is the burden on the guest.”
“that’s right. Originally, you should do better at someone else’s banquet!”
VTIC chatted eloquently in front of their WeTube upload camera and waited for Cheongrye to come in at the right time as usual.
It was an appropriate decision.
“It’s a meaningful project, so I hope it will be of help to Testa’s juniors.”
“That’s right~ Thank you for inviting me to a good place, Junior Testa!”
The members smiled and waved their hands at the camera, and Cheong-rye thought with a smile.
‘No, it’s a loss.’
Seriously, do you say such nonsensical things?
It was unavoidable because the members were selected only by considering the accident rate and stage quality, but no one was quick to notice.
If this is the case, it is common to end up filling other people’s stomachs.
‘If I do well, I’ll be retired if I don’t.’
All of the guests at the concert of the juniors who are pure blue, as well as the seniors in the same industry who sing songs for the juniors.
Of course, I couldn’t blame only the members.
‘I can’t help it because the trap looks so good.’
Cheong Ryeo recalled the conversation at the time of visiting Park Moon-dae in the hospital when this appearance was made.
Moondae Park’s first proposal for a donation concert.
-How about co-hosting?
-well.
At this time, VTIC’s schedule was on the verge of turning murderous.
It was because they were preparing for a complete comeback.
After the great success of Chung Ryeo’s solo album, VTIC’s range of motion was greatly freed.
It means that the attitude of the board of directors, who were hesitant about releasing domestic albums, worried about the VTIC decline becoming visible, has disappeared.
Thanks to this, the preparation of the album gained momentum without the need for Cheongryeo to make any adjustments.
And, like all idols who were in the position of VTIC, they were scheduled to go abroad after appearing on a domestic music show for a week.
But rehearsing for the stadium tour and preparing for a new concert at the same time?
‘It’s impossible.’
There will be no time to sleep. Even now, Cheongryeo’s sleep time has decreased just by visiting Park Moondae’s hospital room.
It was like this during the preparation period, but there was nothing to say after the comeback. It was a future determined enough to be embarrassing to even call it a prediction.
Cheong-rye told the truth.
– Since you are active, you won’t have time.
Park Moon-dae was not too embarrassed.
-Then, as a guest?
-hmm.
-If you see a bud that will do well anyway, you’ll want to take a step on the platform.
Moondae Park’s explanation was clear.
The format of this donation concert will be exclusively contracted with LeTi’s platform.
Then, as a gesture of friendship and publicity, LeTi brings Cheong-ryeo, who just happens to be friends with Park Moon-dae, into the show.
-So, just do a random stage and put a spoon on it.
Chung-rye knew it at that moment.
‘You already know?’
Knowing that joint planning was impossible due to VTIC’s current schedule, Park Moon-dae led the discussion with this structure.
Cheong-ryeo narrowed her eyes.
‘Use me as a guest… la.’
And the words that I want to do one on any stage.
At first glance, it seems that he was considerate of the senior’s busy schedule, but in fact, it means that you can come without tea and bags.
While Testa performs a special stage for a concert that she trained separately, Chung-ryeo performs a general performance alone.
It was a matter of weight class.
If you do, the reputation of Cheongryeo will be damaged.
It may not be as good as Moondae Park appearing as a guest on VTIC’s tour, but it was a risky act.
-how is it.
However, unilateral refusal is also a dangerous situation.
he didn’t forget
‘Recording.’
A recording of the conversation at the time of the abduction will be in Park Moon-dae’s cloud.
The main vocal has already decorated the social side once. The moment this explodes, it is safe to say that VTIC’s career is over.
However, Cheongryeo judged that there was little possibility of releasing the recording of Park Mundae.
‘It’s going to be a mud fight.’
Park Moon-dae will also have a big hindrance to his activities. So, it is a hand that can never be used when the mission is left.
but… Park Mun-dae’s survival is at stake right now, so he can threaten Cheong-ryeo by mentioning the recording as a bluff.
And at that moment, this friendly relationship was catastrophic.
Cheongryeo didn’t want that either.
So after quick judgment, I smiled.
-great. guest appearance.
-then… .
-Ah, VTIC is about to go out.
-… … !
– Are you okay? I think there will be more viewers.
It was crazy.
If Chung-ryeo appeared alone, she could end up with the least damage with the image of a ‘guest invited thanks to friendship’ even in the event of an emergency.
Perhaps Park Moon-dae also thought only that much of the worst case that would go back to Cheong-ryeo.
However, Chung-ryo did not intend to unilaterally remove her flesh.
-… … .
Park Moon-dae was silent for a moment, but then nodded calmly.
-okay.
-yes. then by doing that
So, it was kind of a win-win.
VTIC comes out, there is a risk of being hit much harder than Cheongrye alone.
But at the same time, the gains are greater. Because the two groups are directly compared.
And since Cheong-Ryeo knew VTIC’s stage quality, she clearly judged the odds.
‘More than 70%.’
And I made the plate bigger.
– I think it would be fun to change songs with each other.
Wouldn’t it be sure to fill the number of people at Bakmundae?
“… … .”
After reminiscing, Cheong-ryeo smiled.
In the end, it was the plate he put his hand on.
It would be natural for the members to go over with the thought that ‘the purpose is good and it looks fun’. Because he chose the members like that. with things that are easy to handle.
However, their strength was entirely in their main job.
Cheong-Ryeo recalls the condition of Park Moon-Dae.
‘400,000 people.’
Do you know what the daily attendance figure was for their online concert last year?
It was 610,000.
It is only a master counted for a fee on this platform.
So, as long as VTIC’s participation in the group has been decided, there is no problem with Moondae Park’s survival.
‘I’ll have to bear with the leakage of Testa’s fandom.’
Isn’t that what you did yourself?
He couldn’t take responsibility for Park Moon-dae’s regrets.
‘Well, should I let Kongi meet?’
Cheong-rye thought about how to comfort her briefly, thinking about her dog.
“let’s go.”
“Vtic wins today too! Ah, Victorious~”
The cheery cheering slogan given by the director at the time of their debut came out like a joke from the member.
Even after so many restarts, that one thing didn’t change. Maybe it’s because he didn’t bother to change.
Because he always wanted to win.
“10 seconds to end the VCR!”
Cheong-ryeo felt a strange tingle creep up her back as she watched the stage structure open in front of her eyes.
It’s been such a long time, so it was unfamiliar.
The sense of taking risks and running toward uncertain results.
It was a challenge.
[Ah.]
A short test sound heard through the in-ear.
And the stage began.
* * *
The moment when VTIC walked onto the stage and formed a leisurely formation.
Comments were filled with all sorts of question marks and exclamation marks and were replaced without reading.
It’s not just the comments here.
-Hey V-tic
-Real V
-tic me out -Tikas uhhhhhh
-Crazy
social media and other real-time appreciation, frightened people access the Testa concert one after another.
And the platform’s timely pop-up notifications sent to VTIC subscribers caused hundreds of thousands of people to click in bewilderment.
[VTIC has appeared!]
In front of the pop-up notification, there was a logo of VTIC made with emoticons.
And in that moment of confusion, VTIC took the stage.
Weeing- Weeing- Weeing!
Along with sirens, low drums begin to sound like formal applause.
Rough, fast, intense percussion and brass instruments that build tension.
And the symbolic riff melody that falls.
-going
-sf coming?
It was Testa’s representative song procession.
However, the elegant oriental feel of the parade has disappeared without a trace.
Instead, technical electronic sounds and an orchestra sprint over an intense trap beat.
And VTIC, wearing a black harness and gloves over a tight-fitting suit, interpreted the choreography of the parade in a faster and more modern way.
– You are going. today-.
Even if you struggle,
you will not be able to avoid it. you are going
And the raps are slower and more grooved, deftly underpinning the performance.
There is no place for choreography that embodies a huge beast. Instead, it is covered with an angular group dance with an authoritative feeling like a commando with a formation.
Like capturing a beast.
Then there’s the salute-like gesture that follows and the soaring bass.
-You’ve just appeared. Warning and warning. Slow and
thrilling approach.
Me, me, me.
-Take off
. It pours like a run and encourages aggression. and chorus.
-The day that finally came, come!
Oh Oh Oh… … .
The accompaniment was suddenly dropped at a different moment from the original song.
-Never get away from me Yeah
Lazy wave choreography full of intimidation. And again,
in front of the dancers with flags moving like fast-paced jockeys, VTIC pushed the stage movement to the limit and drove like crazy.
They no longer have a main vocalist.
However, the lack of vocals was pushed back by rap and performance.
Absent and naked, so that the viewers hold their breath and be overwhelmed.
– and
the comment window suddenly slowed down. The state of extreme concentration makes you forget the act equivalent to applause.
VTIC went wild in the red and blue lasers and the lower and grander riff melody.
And the introduction of verse 2 is omitted along with the performance. The accompaniment jumped right into the part where the bridge of the parade should go.
The members pause and turn around to form a formation.
But instead of the promised melody, a familiar rap chorus comes in.
-Sangun
Their claws are hella sharp
Readily tear you apart
No
you can’t.
And an iconic choreography using hands and waist.
-??
-Sangoon-
and
one of their signature songs here. It is < Sangun >.
Melody and bass are intertwined according to the context, and the mountain group gradually grows.
With the addition of the song’s most iconic traditional wind instrument reference.
-Make me a Boss
That’s right,
VTIC weaved two songs with the keyword ‘beast’ and pulled the keyword ‘traditional style’ towards them.
As if to show who did it first.
As if he completely rearranged 〈Arrows〉 and made it out of its imitation.
And the attempt was very plausible.
-X I’m cool
. -Sangun! Sangun! Sangun!
-Look at the grandeur of the Daesang song
It is because the public and fans of VTIC, who were excited about the appearance of a large-scale hit, showed enthusiastic reactions to Sangun eating up the procession and dominating the second half.
The stage had all the persuasive power at the funny moment.
-Sangun
Their claws are hella sharp
Let me prove it
explosive final dance break.
And the stage ended with VTIC forming a four-man formation between huge flags.
However, the comments were endlessly sentimental.
-Ripped
-Crazy as expected
V
-tic -Why
are
the kids here?
Then, the staff sat down on a chair and even talked about a few words.
[Thank you for choosing a good option, everyone!]
[It was really fun~]
Even if I picked number 1, it was going to come out anyway, but they savvyly applauded and praised the intention of planning the concert.
Of course, I didn’t forget the jokes either.
[Oh come to think of it! We are also having a concert~]
[If you are interested, please come and see it! Haha!]
People howled in the comments.
-Guys, I don’t have tickets…
-This is too deceitful
. -I can see why you became close with Testa.
And some fans with votes also cried under the water.
-ㅠㅠㅠ Crazy guys, if you’re going to do something like this, give me a
notice 1000 years, 1000 years, Muggles ㅠㅠ
-I bought a resale ticket. Fuck me for buying something like this
.
– Hahahahaha, but it’s a bit cool, I think the cool guys are going haha Of course, Tika who missed the real-time will be pissed off, but I watched the real-time ^^ The atmosphere was completely
over.
I couldn’t find anything that disparaged VTIC right away, except for something like ‘This is an evil dance to beat juniors.’
It meant that Antido could not bring this stage down without mental victory.
And Park Moon-dae was watching all of this from backstage.
* * *
If it was a real performance, there would have been a lot of screaming.
I put the water bottle in my mouth.
Scary baby.
‘It’s like calling a real tiger.’
Of course, I plan to peel off the skin well and dry it.
‘I can’t let the flow pass like this.’
Testa’s next stage was just around the corner.
