Debut or Die - Chapter 328
If I Can’t Debut, I’ll Get a Deadly Disease Episode 328
Certainly, I’ve met Bae Se-jin in the body of Ryu Gun-woo.
‘At most, it’s all about cheering in front of the sink to get out of the situation.’
There were times when I doubted whether Bae Se-jin remembers the experience impressively.
However, I never doubted that he would remember Ryu Gun-woo’s appearance.
There must be tens of thousands of fans who have seen this guy’s face, but he remembers the face of a fan he’s only seen once? The one who even wore a hat?
However, if you point with your finger and exclaim, it means ‘I know you’. There is no doubt about it. I have a face.
‘after.’
Still, I guess I couldn’t hear the bizarre situation where ‘Ryu Gun-woo’ called me hyung because I was wearing earphones. good.
As soon as I guessed the situation, I immediately opened my mouth. naturally.
Talk to the guy in your smartphone.
“Brother, I will contact you again.”
-Uh… ? uh… .
You can’t let Bae Se-jin ride the flow. Cut it off once and let it go.
However, Bae Se-jin moved first. He grabbed my arm and sighed.
“you… I found you!”
“… !”
“That…is that the guy you saw in the video?”
In that moment, I understood the situation correctly.
‘ah. Was it that way?’
right. I remember now Bae Se-jin accompanied me when I checked Ryu Chung-woo’s home video.
I must have remembered seeing it carefully several times back then.
… Or I remember doing crazy things like breaking into a co-worker’s home on holiday night and rummaging through family videos.
I barely answered.
“… … yes. He is the older brother.”
“also!”
Bae Se-jin looks at ‘Ryu Gun-woo’ on the screen with knowing eyes.
‘Even so, he has good eyesight.’
The home video was filmed when I was quite young, and the contents inside have changed, so the impression would be different, but I managed to find out.
-excuse me… Shall I say hello?
no, stay still
I took Bae Se-jin’s question while glancing at the screen.
“How did you find it?”
“Because there is someone in Chungwoo hyung’s family that I have contacted.”
In order to prevent more questions and answers from saying unnecessary things, he explained the situation in more detail.
Let’s finish with this.
“You know, when the two of us went out for a short break a few days ago. Then we met and exchanged contact information.”
“Hmm yes.”
That… It looks like he didn’t even know that Ryu Cheng-wu and I went out that day.
‘Well, he’s not even that big.’
Even though Cha Yoo-jin is my roommate, he’s the one who doesn’t come out of the room often.
In any case, the situation seemed to be entering a calming phase. I nodded and opened my mouth.
“I was going to tell you the news because hyung went with me to check Chungwoo hyung’s home video. thank you.”
“that… no. what did i do Anyway, it went well and uh… Let me know if there is anything I can help with… .”
Bae Se-jin started talking gibberish and soon acted very socially.
He said hello as soon as his eyes met Ryu Gun-woo in the screen.
“So this is you… … Hello.”
-yes? yes… !
Even if he answers, I can only hear it in my earphones, so why are he saying hello together?
-Ah, even if I say this, you can’t hear me over there, right?
I guess now you know
“… What are you talking about?”
“wait a minute.”
Anyway, it would be neat if we exchanged greetings briefly and then hung up.
I deliberately looked at the screen and spoke clearly.
“brother. I couldn’t get through the conversation… If you don’t mind, I’ll unplug the earphones now.”
It means prepare.
-… I get it!
His tone changed, probably because he thought he wouldn’t make a mistake this time. And his expression changed… Are you following me?
The guy pulls the power out of his face and speaks in a firm voice.
-hello. This is Gunwoo Ryu.
doesn’t fit
“Yes, I am Bae Se-jin, who is on the same team as Moondae.”
As soon as communication started, Bae Se-jin returned to his true self, as if the first greeting was a lie. You are covering your face for a while.
Still, it is welcome that the atmosphere has calmed down. It was because the guy on the screen also greeted me politely enough to be excessive.
It’s a good sense of distance. Let’s go like this.
-yes. Testa is cheering for you a lot. Congratulations on the target.
“… … thank you.”
However, Bae Se-jin replied a beat late, then with a strange expression, he got away from the smartphone camera and whispered to me again.
“… Does that person work in broadcasting?”
“… … ?”
what kind of nonsense
“no. why?”
“just… Somehow, the face looks familiar… … .”
Bae Se-jin stopped talking and stared blankly at the guy who was still copying me on the screen.
“… … .”
It’s a very significant sign.
I opened my mouth right away.
“Hyung, then see you next time… … ”
“Wait.”
Bae Se-jin raised his hand and spoke in a tone that he wanted to go to Gingamin.
“Have you met me years ago… It was a performance hall, and we talked about autographs in front of the sink… .”
“… !”
no, no surprise Let’s calm down.
‘I’m not sure.’
As the situation overlaps, it is to check once to see if a flashing thought occurred.
And that guy on the screen didn’t do it anyway. You can answer ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’ without much remorse… … .
-Uh… ! in that bathroom… … .
“… … .”
why are you so excited there?
‘You’ve experienced the same resonance, is this?’
I watched the two excited guys with cold eyes.
On the screen, ‘Ryu Gun-woo’ reacted excessively, and thanks to this, Bae Se-jin was immediately convinced.
“..!! also!”
-Wow, I was wondering if you would remember… .
“… Of course I remember. I was really grateful for that.”
Bae Se-jin seemed to be a bit conflicted, but eventually added another word.
“many… It gave me strength. Thanks to that, I found a lot of good stories.”
-Hmmmm, that’s right.
What are you proudly squinting your eyes at?
It was absurd, but he continued with a slightly excited tone.
-I think I would have been very happy to hear it… !
“… … “
Ryu Gun-woo at that time?
I hope this guy didn’t meet the cold… .
‘Did it mean that I had to listen?’
I was speechless and looked at his screen.
The big moon is twitching the corners of its mouth with a happy face, perhaps forgetting to manage its expression. Bae Se-jin seems to be embarrassed and clears his throat from the side.
“Hmm yes. I am also happy to greet you like this. I couldn’t even sign it back then… .”
“… … .”
yeah what… It’s a good thing that something insignificant has helped Bae Se-jin in the past.
It’s not a big deal, it’s a small joke, so it might be better to wrap it up here and move on than to realize it later and make a fuss.
I smiled.
“I decided to give you a signed album when the next album comes out.”
“Oh, well, that will work.”
-I’m really looking forward to it… .
“It is an honor.”
The atmosphere is slightly relaxed. To be precise, Bae Se-jin alone began to let go of his shyness.
‘It looks like they’re chatting like this.’
There might be loopholes in the conversation any more, so I organized the conversation this time.
“Hyung, I heard that tomorrow is also training. I guess I wasted too much time.
-… ! that’s right Sorry, let’s go in.
“Ah yes. that… yes. thank you.”
Big moon quickly recognized the signal this time, and the call was over.
Tiriling.
Staring at the disconnected screen, Bae Se-jin muttered with a mysterious face.
“… You were a real fan of our group.”
“… … .”
Wouldn’t it be weird if I didn’t ask here?
“Do you two know each other?”
“It’s not like we met… As a fan, I’m cheering you on… … … No, I didn’t know you were the person I was looking for until now because I looked at you for a few seconds! I know I’m looking for you, but I didn’t tell you on purpose… .”
“I guess so. I don’t remember the face of every person I meet.”
“That’s right.”
Bae Se-jin sighed with a slightly relieved expression.
“still… that’s interesting. You and I both got help from the same person… I didn’t know that we could have something in common like this. I also think that human connection is real.”
“Iknow, right.”
“Kuhm… It’s a bit strange to hear that the person who said such a good thing in the beginning is still cheering for me… .”
“It must be because my brother has been doing well in the past.”
“Is that so? Hmmm, not so much… thank you.”
“What.”
Bae Se-jin seems to be net excited now.
“Isn’t it nice to say that in entertainment? is not it?”
“… … .”
let’s go there
“There is also a way to keep it as a memory among us. More than that, the reason you called me… .”
“iced coffee!”
Only then did the guy’s complexion change and he got to the point.
“That’s right, I got a call from the company… !”
hmm.
‘The type of contact that Bae Se-jin will run to find me?’
It’s not like you’re trying to overturn the declaration of surrender. I crossed my arms.
“Your agency?”
“It’s not that company… The company above it!”
Bae Se-jin shouted with a slightly excited face.
“I got a direct call from T1 Enter!”
“… !!”
It was the parent company’s appearance.
I followed Saejin Bae into the room. A few people gathered in the room ahead of him, as if Cha Yu-jin had also been ordered.
“I came home!! As you warned, we got out quietly without being noticed by anyone on the AR Team!”
“That’s right.”
When Kim Rae-bin, who had gone to the studio for the last time, also joined, the briefing finally began.
“Nothing else, I have an offer.”
“A suggestion?”
Liu Cheng-wu explained briefly.
T1 Entertainment sent an email directly without going through the agency. The opinion of the board of directors was sent directly to the person in charge who talked about the problem of the dedicated team last time… .
I rubbed my chin while listening to the words and summarized them in a light sentence.
“therefore… It means they’re going to take us out as a direct label.”
“yes.”
Not under their subsidiary, T1 Stars, but as a direct affiliate of the real T1 ENT.
‘You’re crazy.’
It was an incredibly generous offer. It is said that they even sent a plan to reorganize the settlement structure and explained how profitable we were.
“Then, where is your current agency?”
“There was no mention of it.”
It was worth it.
‘They’re just X’s, so I wrote them down myself.’
Originally, even if you set up a label, planning and activities would be carried out independently anyway, and the accounting structure such as sales processing would belong to T1 Stars.
‘It means that our sales will continue to be captured by this agency.’
Because it is an affiliate label.
However, if this happens, the relationship with the agency will come to an end.
Literally transfer.
Even we will carry all the dedicated teams, so the company will be hit hard because there is an emergency.
However, there is no need to worry about retaliation as the parent company is raising its fist behind the scenes.
“if it goes like this… It’s coming out of that agency!”
“Oooh~”
The perfect breakout timing that could only be dreamed of.
Maybe it was a cool situation, but there are already people clapping their hands… .
‘hmm. It’s not good.’
I twitched my eyebrows.
This is an unconventional Daewoo High School, and anyone interested in the entertainment industry will judge Testa as the enemy of T1, and it is a big deal change.
so that’s the problem
‘Don’t get too involved with the T1 image.’
T1, like a large company that runs an octopus-eating business, is said to have trashed its image.
Even in the culture business, there is a lot of talk about ‘ruining the industry’s ecosystem’ with a strategy to suck up aggressive KPOP represented by the Tnet channel.
By the way, such a business signboard image that T1 grabs and pushes each?
It’s the worst if it sticks.
‘It’s not just about benefiting from large companies, it’s about becoming the main player in T1’s entertainment business.’
Even at the Rookie of the Year award, they said that they were tyranny of a major broadcasting company, but there is a high probability that T1 will join us whenever T1 is fooling around.
If something happens in the future, it’s perfect for being framed as the strong perpetrator.
‘That’s not all.’
There is one most important reason.
‘… We shouldn’t get caught in the image as if the company is entirely on our side.’
In business, not everything can suit everyone’s taste. Obviously a problem arises.
It was the same with the idol business.
Then, when a problem arises, there is also a place of responsibility… If the company starts by feeding us well and respecting us, then we end up taking all the aggro.
-T-One did T
-One -Ah b*t let my kids
go
-LOL.LOL..Guys, please do it right
.
The number of people saying this is increasing. Absolutely not.
‘T1 must be an image that does not align with our interests.’
The moment this is broken, even if the company makes a mistake, they think the same as the idols, and instead try to protect them more than enough, or even bring the idols together and blame them.
It is a handshake in the long run.
“… … .”
“What do you all think? I am… I think I’m fine!”
“Me too.”
The problem is, I don’t know if I can properly convince these guys who are already excited just because I think so.
‘Honestly, the reason is a bit dirty.’
Isn’t it true that people say that we should make the company blame everything on us, but we shouldn’t make it difficult.
I see at least three guys who won’t be persuaded by these words.
‘… It would be perfect if there was an emotional cause.’
At that time, Kim Rae-bin quietly muttered with a drooping voice next to him.
“Then, some members of the AR team will completely change their affiliations and break up… … .”
this bastard… well spoken
This is it.
“Um, can’t we just bring them all?”
“That will be difficult. I don’t think the agency will come out so lightly.”
I answered as if I was deliberately conclusive.
“Even if we take out a dedicated team, it would be a huge blow to the agency, but it would be difficult to get other people out.”
“Um… .”
“Well then… What about those who can’t go together?”
“You will be working in a more difficult environment than before.”
Kim Rae-bin’s face turned pale. I crossed my arms.
“But we don’t have to be forced to stay for them. Because everyone lives their own lives.”
“yes… … .”
It was then. Seon Ah-hyun carefully raised her hand.
“There… .”
“huh.”
“Then why don’t we just stay here and drive out all the bad guys? Is it impossible… .”
I answered calmly.
“It’s hard to get rid of.”
“Ugh. Also… .”
It was then. Ryu Cheng-wu opened his mouth.
“By the way, can’t you make me stop doing bad things in the future?”
“… !”
“Right?”
Surprisingly, this also makes some backups. I nodded.
“That works.”
“Oh, I like that. Fight!”
Cha Yoo-jin immediately changed his stance. It was like a guy. And Bae Se-jin muttered.
“Not bad… .”
okay. I thought this would be your taste too.
“Then let’s consider this as well.”
A pretty good response came back.
‘Okay.’
I clasped my hands.
“Then, until everyone is completely convinced of one side… Let’s wait for the timing.”
“period?”
“Since the conversation has already progressed, I think it will be okay.”
I turned to the guy sitting next to me.
Big Sejin.
“Like he said last time, if everyone is gifted, our right to speak will be greater.”
“… !”
That is, until the other guys get their most restless.
Big Sejin opened his eyes wide and then smiled.
I laughed along too.
“Let’s wait until then.”
Testa then received a total of 32 award trophies during the awards season at the beginning of the year.
And 5 of them were grand prize trophies.
Our deal started moving at that point.
