Debut or Die - Chapter 453
If you don’t debut, you’ll die of illness Episode 453
Everything happened too suddenly for those who didn’t notice.
I couldn’t help it.
– T1 is like that lol Even though
corrective measures were taken against T1 and Tnet received a warning from the Korea Communications Commission, everyone just passed by with their tongues as it was not a company with a clean image from the beginning.
At that time, the sentiment of ‘T1 did T1 again’ came out more often, even though aggro associating it with Testa did not work well.
[Three directors of T1 Stars arrested on suspicion of stock price manipulation… “T1’s bare face”]
One day, this article suddenly appeared on the news headlines.
The board of directors of Testa’s agency was caught in the middle of the door.
-????
– T-one crazy bastards
– Is it related to Testa?
-Ah, fuck again.
At first, the fans also thought it was a normal bad news.
It’s a level of work where you just have to swear at the agency and have to deal with the aggro of being attracted to the singers in that agency.
‘After a while, they’ll grind the board and pretend they don’t know and rub it in again.’
however… Articles kept popping up.
[< Controversy over stock manipulation > Why did T1 create a large entertainment company?
[T1’s suspicion… Prosecutors’ office “seizes the close relationship with the head office”]
The agency remained silent.
T1 also does not properly publish corresponding articles.
At this point, non-Korean fans also noticed.
… ominous foreboding.
-They turned off their fax machine and didn’t answer the phone
. -This is how things work.
-What exactly is T-1’s situation right now?
A serene and uneasy situation like snow in a typhoon.
Testa’s ambitious comeback schedule was tentatively ended by barely finishing a two-week music broadcast.
All of the schedules previously set or released have been digested, but there are almost no additional schedules.
There must have been schedules that were not disclosed to the public, but they were all canceled.
At this point, most hardcore fans noticed.
That ‘the company is so emergency that it can’t afford to take care of Testa, its flagship’. -Ah,
there’s no publicity or DubApp
by
volume
. not? I thought it would be fine to draw the line well, but it wasn’t a problem with the kids, and
there was a story like this, but the longer the time of silence, the more serious the situation only increased.
and one day
Out of nowhere, this article popped up.
[Tnet < Be My Girls > Is it true that the testimony of those involved in the suspicion of fairness? Prosecutors “I have nothing to say yet.”]
It was an article containing a strange nuance about Tnet’s latest box office survival show.
– Huh
– Are you the crazy Bima girl?
-All the cast members are recruited in advance, and the audition for the general public is to match the assortment…
-PD and writers, all SNS are private, and
people turned their mouths to that fresh controversy.
Tnet faced the growing suspicions and articles head-on without a hand.
They canceled some of the programs they were trying to launch and also quietly reduced the aggressively expanding ‘Global K-Pop’ business.
In the meantime, the story of Testa’s agency became a past event, and the fans felt a little relieved.
In the end, T1 Ent made a decision due to the bombing-like pressure and the station problem that was on the verge of exploding.
[T1 Ent subsidiaries promoting independence promotion agencies starting to stand alone]
Another announcement was made without any notice.
The independence of entertainment agencies, subsidiaries of T1 Ent!
T1 Stars, where Testa Mirinae and Spacer belonged, was no exception.
-Crazy T1 Stars independence?
-Since T1 is such a jerk , it seems like everyone just agreed and decided
to become independent .
Since I haven’t had a good day lately, the public has understood it that way.
Subsidiary’s escape from T-One! Exodus!
Of course, those who thought a little more deeply exchanged sharp impressions, up to ‘Is T1 pretending to cut losses to save its subsidiaries?’ It was there.
The important thing is that most of the people who heard this news judged that the subsidiary would be happy to do this.
-Testa is a label anyway, so it’s okay because the kids produce it themselves, so there’s no way the quality will go down haha –
Rather good
– It’s rather good that the board of directors has been completely changed too
? had a strong desire to see it. Especially on the Testa side.
Didn’t it already rise as it should?
It would have been unsettling if it had been a poorly established group, but now Testa does not need T-One’s halo.
No, rather, I was just fed up with T-One trying to sell it in every case.
I didn’t know that now would be the right time to break up, rather than listening to bullshit and bullshit about “Azusa” being manipulated.
Yes we have nothing to regret!
– Orbit Label Independent Gazza~
It’s something that can’t be undone anyway. It was something I couldn’t get involved in. If so, let’s crack down on the atmosphere.
Fans quickly silenced their doubtful opinions, deliberately driving public opinion to the good side.
Dreaming of activities as a hopeful testa!
* * *
‘It’s X.’
I gritted my teeth.
Beside him, Sejin Keun was flipping through the article with an expression without a smile on his face.
“Did you leave it here?”
“I threw it away.”
T1 cut off its entertainment subsidiary.
A sign sent to the political world, ‘Please look at me as you have caused me this much damage’.
It is a sign of surrender and negotiation.
And that means… Now, this subsidiary means that it is a long-term debt that has been cut off.
‘I’ve lost money once, but there’s no way I’ll push it.’
It would be because I don’t want to see things do better after losing money. Now, the company’s profit from the T1 platform is over.
Liu Qingyu furrowed his brows and rubbed his chin as if embarrassed.
“We are going into contract renewal negotiations next week.”
“We had a positive conversation a few months ago, but… .”
“no.”
“no!”
Two people with the same name, who didn’t usually get along, spoke at the same time and looked at each other.
By the way, I completely agree.
‘It should bounce.’
It was obvious what would happen if they were together on this sinking ship.
An agency that has already been tagged as a T1 line, so it is difficult to get on another line, but the agency lost to T1?
‘It’s over.’
No matter how good our names are, if we don’t promote properly, we won’t last long.
“You should never renew your contract with this place.”
“… !”
If someone said they would renew the contract, I had enough of my mind to persuade them without sleeping for three days and nights. No, there was plenty of time for that.
‘It’s because the current schedule is all gone anyway.’
From the label staff to the manager, all of them can’t get in touch with the company, damn it.
I gripped the smartphone in my hand as if it would break. One or two soft-hearted guys hesitated in bewilderment, then nodded.
“Ughhhh… .”
“but… If so, shouldn’t we all have to sign contracts with other agencies? Should we start looking for an agency suitable for that?”
right. That’s the problem.
Time is running out, and it is doubtful whether there will be an agency that can coordinate Testa’s activities as she has been doing.
‘I have to find a place where I won’t fall into a cash cow while going round and round on tour.’
I finally made a label after picking out the best people, and I have a lot to say even though I left this whole staff behind and opened a store… .
The biggest problem is this too.
“and… There’s a high chance that you won’t be able to use the group name Testa.”
“… !”
“Ahhh… That’s right.”
Testa is a group name created from < Idol Co., Ltd. >, and the agency holds the related trademark rights.
‘Even the guys at the company know that this is their food supply.’
They will never let go easily, whether conventionally, financially, or emotionally.
“… … .”
Naturally, the atmosphere darkened a little in the silence.
It is impossible not to be attached to the group name that was written to fill up 5 years.
But even in the midst of that, Cha Yu-jin shrugged.
“Even if the name is changed, Testa is Testa. I like it. We can come up with a cool name! A fresh new start!”
“Oh oh.”
A few of the members nodded at the ambitious words. Kim Rae-bin also agreed.
“That seems to be a definite advantage. Indeed, there are times when Cha Yu-jin is right, and I think that time is now!”
“I am always right! Raebin Kim thinks I’m wrong. So Rabin Kim is wrong.”
“… ?? … ! I will withdraw! Cha Yoo-jin is right only this time!”
“haha!”
Thanks to the two consistent guys, the atmosphere was a little relaxed.
Like those who have been through all sorts of things before their debut, the mental management this time around has started in a stupendous way.
I chuckled. Big Sejin applauded.
“That’s right~ Our Yujin can come up with a cool English abbreviation!”
“Yeap~ I have a lot of ideas!”
“Ohh~”
Big Sejin responded with a smile.
But in fact, I saw that kid also smile at the group name talk.
That too is unavoidable.
‘okay. If you can… .’
If possible, I would like to take this group name with me.
It was already a symbol. Brand values are not easily re-established, and it is not once or twice that the feeling changes the moment the name is changed.
‘It’s a pretty big risk in the image business.’
… I’ll have to roll my head a little harder.
I clenched my hands as I counted the number of cases.
“First of all, avoid suspicion of the company.”
And each of them started to be assigned a task to do.
First of all, at the contract renewal meeting that the company managed to hold, as the group representative, Ryu Cheong-woo made a well-planned speech.
“Um, would it be okay if we rewrite the contract after we talk a little bit more? It’s also very noisy right now.”
I bought some time by deliberately expressing myself vaguely.
Just to make them misunderstand that we’re scared because the head office is so chaotic over there.
-I’m going to renew the contract, but give me a little more time.
Let’s go with this keynote.
It worked well because Ryu Chung-woo had a trustworthy image.
Bae Se-jin did a good job of using the spare time he had earned to appoint a lawyer for an unexpected situation.
Now, check out other companies that might be contacted in earnest… I have to.
This is it.
‘… Originally, the picture is right for the opponent to come directly.’
Did you see yourself running a business when a hot FA sale came out on the market?
The moment we bow down and enter, it is a shortcut to worsening contract conditions.
Besides, if you go around looking for a company and get caught by your current agency, you might end up with gossip.
but… Even though Testa is in the contract renewal season, few of them visit.
‘There is no other company contact.’
The problem is that the fact that Testa will renew the contract has been rumored to some extent in the industry.
In fact, since the label was created, it has been treated as a confirmed fact, so few companies dare to contact Testa.
‘Even if it’s there, it’s still floating around.’
There are only guys who say that once you get caught, it’s a jackpot.
However, no matter how urgent it is, it is impossible to go to the Dream K-class agency where Bae Se-jin used to be.
It reminds me of Bae Se-jin deleting the KakaoTalk I was watching between contacts as if he was going to breathe fire.
In the end, the guys who stretched out in the living room were on the verge of saying this.
“Ah~ Shall we just set up a company?”
“I think that would be better too… .”
Sun Ah-hyun sighed. It was a rare sight.
“Is it impossible to be independent just like the people at the label… I just want to try changing the name.”
“It seems impossible… .”
“okay… .”
At Kim Rae-bin’s words, Ryu Cheong-wu fell asleep. This was also a rare sight.
‘Everyone is tired.’
I held my breath and picked up my phone.
Yes, if there is no contact, there is no difference. Now that things have turned out this way, get ready to poke yourself in the right places and get a reaction… .
‘hmm.’
But there was a text message on my phone.
It was not an advertisement, no regards, no stalker.
that… It was a congratulatory message.
-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: Congratulations on your independence^^
It’s ridiculous.
‘This bastard… Since when did you know?’
But the moment I read the next letter, I stopped thinking for a moment.
-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: I think I need a new house.
-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: How is it?
“… … .”
… new home?
‘no way… … Are you Leti?’
It was the first Scout offer.
