Debut or Die - Chapter 388

If you can’t debut, you’ll die. Episode 388,

< Wise > filming day.

This time, I went right into the content as soon as the president announced the honors and inferior classes at the dorm, without any shooting cuts from the stage.

‘It’s not a stage performance for those who got eliminated, but an event for idols before that.’

Following the public service advertisement photo shoot, the next hitter is… .

“This event is a street guerilla concert.”

“and!”

“omg… .”

I think there was some kind of deal with the local government, but it means that we ended up performing at a temporary stage facility in the middle of Myeong-dong.

[Oh, that must be fun!]

Viewers can do that. But from a participant’s point of view… well

[yes… ? Uh uh, weren’t you doing it all over again? ]

That’s right.

‘But the number of people has changed.’

There must have been a lot of changes to the movement and parts because there were people who dropped out and new people who came in.

“Coming Friday at 6pm!”

Look, I’ll give you two days due to the shooting schedule.

‘It’s all night.’

[…] … . extreme job… .]

Now that it’s like that, this time overtime is confirmed.

No matter how much I or those who have memories, I can’t go in early and sleep even if I pick them quickly. All lines must fit together.

‘Of course there are people who will work more than me.’

This is the guy talking to me as I unpack my things in bed. In fact, the guy who leads the choreography practice in the debut group of this agency.

“Come on bro. I knew you would be here soon, really.”

“Oh thank you.”

Shin Jae-hyeon, warmly welcoming Ryu Kun-woo, who returned to the honors class for today’s shooting, extends his hand without turning his back to the camera.

‘As expected, I don’t miss the opportunity.’

I pulled out a cutscene while shaking hands with Cheong-ryeok, who had never unloaded her luggage in the bedroom of the honor class.

‘Is this guy going to keep going with this image?’

With a perfect leader position that has never fallen out of an honor class.

If there is that much consistency, it will become a narrative and the character will be solid.

“The class set by the program is just a random moment. Regardless of that, let’s work hard thinking that we are all debuting together.”

“yes… !”

I wonder how many times I’ve used that touching line.

I spent two days watching him roll to the limit pretending to take care of other trainees.

and on the day.

[Oh oh… ! A lot of people are already gathered?]

That’s natural, since it’s written as a guerrilla and announced 3 hours in advance.

It seems that as soon as it spread on the Internet, viewers ran to it.

‘Even if it wasn’t like that, there were quite a few tourists.’

Since it is Myeongdong, there were many foreigners interested in KPOP.

It was a time when there was still a trend of preferring to select paintings that foreigners cheered for. There must have been something aiming for it.

In any case, whether it’s been a while or the first time, the participants are a bit excited in front of the outdoor stage.

“Let’s shout our slogan once and go up.”

“Yes I am! Wise fighting!”

And it is to go up to the small stage where the violin concert of a certain university was held until just before.

Wow!

The shout of the raw. Unorganized peripheral reactions from cheering phrases to screams.

smell of sunlight.

The performance held outdoors after a long time had a different taste.

‘It feels like running an event.’

Of course, it’s a strange feeling that the set list is filled with all other people’s songs, not familiar songs.

And it seems I’m not the only one who felt that way.

Out of the backstage camera.

“I miss you a bit.”

Ryu Chung-woo, a 5-year-old idol who performed the theme song and filled a vacancy on the team stage at the same time, murmurs.

Cha Yoo-jin grumbled.

“I want to sing our song.”

Both of them are excellent at speaking without subjects in case they get caught in the microphone. I nodded slowly.

“Geonwoo hyung!”

“hmm?”

Kim Rae-bin, who was warming up next to me, whispered to me with a serious face.

Now that I think about it, he doesn’t even have any memories, so he might have given the impression that he was suspicious… .

“Could the theme song be suddenly removed from the setlist?”

“… ?”

“If the ‘our song’ that Yujin Cha refers to is a song for a common performance, it would be a theme song, but the expression ‘I want to’ presupposes that I can’t currently do it.”

“… … .”

“Then the conclusion that it was excluded from the set list… .”

I barely opened my mouth.

“It must mean you want to do it quickly. They do the theme song at the very end.”

“… ! okay! Thank you for your kind explanation.”

He’s a really unique guy. It’s a pity that the camera couldn’t catch that.

‘If I had a memory, I’m sure I would have been tormented by the pain of my conscience that it wasn’t fair by myself.’

Even if Kim Rae-bin comes out of the mate selection right away, I will have to wake him up after this program ends.

Even after that, the mini-concert continued to fill up 50 minutes.

The deathmatch stage with Jin Chae-yul, who was wearing a marine look, was also reproduced quite later.

Of course, it wasn’t a marine look, but he wore a baseball jumper appropriately, but in the end, it seems that the president, who compromised with the public’s evaluation, couldn’t take the song off the list and included it.

Indeed, it is a capitalist judgment worthy of the CEO of an entertainment company.

I think Chae-yul is a little excited, perhaps because he thinks he has simply been recognized.

“President Kim Tae-in must have recognized our true value after seeing our stage several times! You might like this stage as soon as you see it… .”

“that’s right!”

His giggling with Shin-Oh is the same as when he was very VTIC.

Every time this guy’s bright-headed side is revealed on air, fans seem to attach. Doesn’t it look wrinkled?

Even when it was VTIC, it seems that the data that captured this behavior well was expensive… Well, he’s definitely in demand anyway.

‘I’ll stick with it.’

After a brief conclusion, I waved at people and walked off the stage.

and at the end of the performance.

“thank you!”

Kyaaaaaagh! Aww!

After the performance of the theme song was finished, the number of people increased to the point where it became a hindrance to the passage. It is a crowd mentality where the crowd calls the crowd.

‘I think it’s fun to just cheer… .’

Geonwoo! oh wow handsome!

yes… thank you

Anyway, I reacted as soon as my name was called. No one feels bad when receiving praise.

After that, the camera won enough people’s response.

Finally, a surprise event that was not notified to the participants in advance breaks out.

“We will bring the passionate viewers who came to today’s guerrilla concert up on the podium~”

“Ouch!”

“Now?”

It is a surprise fan meeting.

‘It seemed like this.’

Before I went up on the stage, I saw that they were sorting out a few people and sending them to the front.

“Hmmmm.”

“welcome… . Just since.”

I shook my head inwardly as I looked at the faces of the participants who were starting to get more excited and nervous.

‘long time no see.’

Since I was hit with a plastic bottle during my debut showcase, I was afraid that I might have an accident, so I rarely did an instant lottery for an unspecified number of people.

Then two or three people come upstairs. And each of them goes towards the participant they are rooting for.

“Wow! oh my god!”

“You can come over here and say hi to me.”

“Ahh!”

I walked up the stage and shook hands with a few people who came in front of me and gave me a light hug.

Most of them were trembling, not knowing whether they were excited or nervous. It must be a public place. This… There is no big difference from when I was Park Moon-dae.

So what’s the difference?

“Uhhhhhh, he’s so handsome… ”

“Thank you. … … I’ll take good care of it… ?”

“Ah so good… .”

The frequency of ‘handsome’ is overwhelmingly higher than ‘cute’.

and… They don’t even ask for a ball cock.

‘… Maybe it’s an instant lottery.’

Or is it because it’s a broadcast, not just idol fans? I don’t know, but it feels like I’m treating them more carefully.

In other words, less comfortable.

‘… But because Ryu Gun-woo doesn’t have a good impression.’

No, it’s not that I’m sorry.

In any case, the production team seemed to have chosen it appropriately, and there was no unfortunate incident where only one participant did not go.

People also went to Ryu Chung-woo, whose appearance was barely aired just before.

[This is… … It’s the kind of thing where you look back years later and think it was a really ridiculously lucky experience, isn’t it? ]

Hey, you shouldn’t be here until a few years later.

[Ah.]

Whenever there was no one in front of me, I chatted with him and waited for the next batter.

“I will serve the last people~”

And when the three or four people who had been waiting the longest came on stage.

“… !!”

Among them, I immediately recognized the first person to step onto the stage.

That person… .

[uh? Hyung fans!]

Yes.

me so… He was a fan of Testa Park Moon-dae. How do you find out?

‘… Because it was the first cannon.’

At the < Azusa > production presentation, it was the first home run that strongly asked me to cock the ball.

We also met when I wore a dog mask and went to the billboard certification. It’s hard to forget this much, but I watched it steadily after that.

[Wow~ I can see it here too!]

… I know.

I gave my strength back to the posture that I almost loosened at the moment. And he kept his face.

‘He’s a madman when he finds out.’

be quiet let’s be quiet

[Because I’m glad to see you all! You only did it when it was the status window!]

This guy is making a fuss instead, so there’s no need for me to do it anymore.

And the fan came towards the contestants standing on the stage with quite brave steps and came right in front of me.

and passed by

“hello!”

… Towards Jin Chae-yul’s seat next to me.

“I am really, really rooting for you. Absolutely cute, cool and the best. Do whatever Chae-yul wants to do.”

“Ugh! thank you!”

“… … .”

I quietly corrected my standing posture.

Ryu Gun-woo’s guerrilla fan meeting ended like that.

* * *

Knew.

Ryu Gun-woo and Park Moon-dae have quite different impressions, and no matter how much they are mixed, there is a difference in appearance.

Is it only outside? There are also differences in public image.

‘Demand is bound to be different.’

So there is no law that people who like Park Moon-dae will necessarily like Ryu Kun-woo.

[brother… … .]

OK.

Coincidentally, after the guerrilla concert ended, there was a gap for a few hours of filming preparation before the performance content started.

just… Now that I have time, I organize my thoughts.

To be aware of reality.

‘This isn’t pure stupidity.’

This place is not reality, so why did you naturally believe that it would flow the same way?

And even if it is real, isn’t it up to you whether or not each individual will continue to support idols?

There is nothing more to think about.

… As an idol, Gunwoo Ryu is not Moondae Park. let’s not forget

[I think hyung is cool no matter what he looks like! Really!]

It’s because this guy is altruistic and has no greed to the point of seeming heartless.

Even if you know they’re actually the same person, you might prefer one or the other. It’s not a real interpersonal relationship, isn’t it natural from the point of view of one-sided support?

[Not necessarily! There must be that feeling of being an idol that only hyung has, and even if your appearance changes, don’t… … .]

“… … .”

I was reading the pop-up that I wrote down the words of consolation, and I suddenly had such a thought.

No matter how altruistic this guy is, this… Isn’t that a bit excessive?

Especially considering this guy’s position.

‘you… Don’t you hate the fact that I’m sitting in the same body you put on the civil service exam?’

[…] … .]

Even if you don’t hate me, shouldn’t you at least feel repulsive about this situation?

I used up both of my bodies while he was floating without a body.

The pop-up shakes.

[but… I’m really okay.]

I felt a strange sense of incongruity as I watched the pop-up pop up quietly one by one.

This wasn’t trying to comfort me, it was really sincere.

And I myself felt uncomfortable with it.

[Is this strange? I do not know. I’m not a person anymore… … .]

‘You’re a person.’

I said cut right away.

‘What if someone who worries about others isn’t human?’

[Oh no, we… Because it’s not the rest ㅠㅠ Heuk heuk Thank you anyway… … .]

The pop-up returned to the usual atmosphere as if relieved, but in my head it became more complicated, although I did not express it.

‘The phenomenon of losing humanity has intensified… Is it a situation that can be sorted out?’

Maybe I’m the only one to talk to in this situation, but even with me, I don’t have much conversation about myself, so I don’t know if it’s accelerated.

‘… I need to talk properly.’

But damn, my head is complicated right now, so I don’t know what to do first.

‘It’s pitiful.’

I sat quietly in the hallway without cameras, lowered my head and closed my eyes. I intended to do so until my head understood the current situation.

how much time has passed like that

“I… Are you okay?”

A low voice was heard. Not a participant, but a step.

Some guy was lost in the hallway, so he must have talked to him just in case.

“yes.”

I nodded my head slightly, meaning that I will go in when I come to my senses.

I don’t think it looks bad, so I took the camera and came… No, if it’s the broadcasting station guys, they’ll stay like that.

And sure enough, I heard the sound of footsteps running lightly down the hallway, and soon came back.

Did you bring your camera?

“here.”

But the one that gets hit in the face… warm water vapor

Smoke rising from steam.

I opened my eyes.

“I like to drink a warm drink when I’m not feeling well or have no energy.”

I can see a hand holding a white paper cup from nowhere.

A black drink can be seen in a steaming paper cup.

“Of course, each person is different, but… Because the warm temperature is the same. Try some.”

I took it and drank it.

… It was hot chocolate.

I raised my head.

“how is it?”

black hair.

“Even people who don’t like sweet things say it’s okay at times like this. Would you like to try some more?”

Seon Ah-hyun, in her mid-twenties, was there.
