Debut or Die - Chapter 70
If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 070 When
I opened the locked door and walked into the room, Lee Se-jin, who was sitting gloomily on his bed, was startled.
“eww… !”
“Calm down.”
I sat on the bed opposite. Ryu Cheong-wu and Big Se-jin, who thought they would follow immediately, were nowhere to be seen.
‘… It must have slipped away.’
If it’s just the two of them, that’s okay.
what happened Anyway, since Lee Se-jin is like that, he can’t go to bed right now, so let’s hear what he thinks.
‘I wish I had some alcohol.’
There was no way that there would be such a thing in the dorm for an idol group that was about to launch. Unfortunately, I just spoke out.
“Hyung, you know that we’re going to have an interview tomorrow morning or early morning anyway.”
“… … !”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to just relax and organize your thoughts here? It’s not a situation that can be avoided by avoiding it.”
It was only after quite some time had passed that Lee Se-jin opened his mouth, as if the trait of ‘I heard it was right’ didn’t explode this time.
“… I don’t know.”
“I don’t know what.”
“What do I want to do… … .”
“… ?”
Isn’t it too late to start thinking about your career path now?
“Do you want to go back to your former agency and continue acting?”
“… I don’t want to go back.”
“So you’re saying you want to act?”
“… … Isn’t that obvious?”
Sejin Lee buried his face in his palms.
“I didn’t even think about becoming an idol in the first place… .”
“… … .”
This somehow reminds me of when something goes wrong… ?
I clicked my tongue.
‘I guess I didn’t participate in the audition voluntarily.’
“I guess I participated in < Azusa > because of my former agency.”
“… that’s right. I took a long break… … Just because you have to do something like that to get a sense of work.”
“hmm.”
I said nonchalantly.
“You seem to be working hard for something like that.”
“… you don’t have to work hard Because I can’t.”
Lee Se-jin was a little hot.
‘Hmm, that one had a different texture.’
I remembered what he said to me in the finals.
– You’re debuting, so it’s not over, you mean? … that would be nice
Doesn’t that mean you want to continue? In addition, the change in Lee Se-jin’s status window was also visible.
‘There is no F anymore.’
Lee Se-jin’s dance stat, which was F at the beginning of filming, has now risen to D+.
It was never a growth that could be achieved because I just had to do it without any inspiration.
So I got a rough idea.
“It was actually fun.”
“… … !”
“It was fun to do, so it made me work harder without realizing it.”
Isejin kept his mouth shut. I can’t deny it.
“that’s right… . It was nice to be on stage. I thought I would like to continue. But also acting… I want to continue.”
“… ? do.”
“what… ?”
I don’t know why you are worrying about this.
“After a couple of years, the agency here will take care of it and put in individual activities. postpone it. If you fill up 5 years, it’s the contract renewal season, so if you want to stop being an idol, you just have to continue acting.”
Lee Se-jin, who listened with his mouth open for a moment, soon shook his head with a wry smile.
“… can not.”
“yes?”
“You don’t know where my former agency is.”
“… … .”
I didn’t know what Learning wasn’t my sport.
Lee Se-jin seemed to have given up halfway through the situation.
“Dream K there… It’s not a quality agency. If I belong here like this, I don’t know what I’ll explode for offense.”
“Have you caught any weaknesses?”
If drugs come out here, I will be the first to recommend withdrawal.
Fortunately, Lee Se-jin frowned.
“It wasn’t that dead. … It means that I will explode anything plausible in the form of a chirashi.”
According to the explanation that followed, it seemed that there were already several actors who had been sent away because they had not renewed their contracts.
When the contract renewal season comes, they deliberately dispel rumors to lower the ransom.
‘You’re buying a vicious plan that looks like a picture?’
“Hmm, what if there is a lineup of rumors that you can expect?”
“It’s me, it’s obvious… . First of all, the audition was for the purpose of becoming an actor, and I set the mood by saying that I didn’t even want to become an idol.”
“hmm.”
“Then adultery… Well, anyway, since it’s not a crime, I’ll release a strange propaganda paper and send it to the line where I can’t prove it.”
“Well, since our investment is T1, I don’t think we can get out of there so quickly.”
“First of all, the goal is to explode the electrons and set the mood. It’s making me cut on the T1 side.”
Lee Se-jin muttered bitterly.
“anyway… It was added at the last minute.”
“… … .”
“My public opinion on the Internet is not good right now. A lot of people tell me to do it without me… . Because I’m not good at it… .”
“… … Um”
You must have looked it all up.
Certainly, there were some stories like that.
It means that the group who passed the additional pass will be a much better group if they exclude him because they have the lowest ability as an actor.
I shrugged.
“That public opinion will weaken when we debut.”
“… … It’s useless comfort.”
“No, I just mean that.”
“… what?”
“It’s the same as VTIC. It means that we will unite internally to keep you in check.”
“… !!”
Originally, when a strong enemy is formed on the outside, the inside is bound to unite.
“Besides, if hyung leaves, someone else will be the target. originally it is So I guess you don’t have to think about it.”
Wanting to get rid of someone who looked like the weakest was a common behavior in any group. It means that this did not happen especially because it was Lee Se-jin.
Lee Se-jin seemed to be a little bit emotional, but he soon calmed down and shook his head.
“still… There is no way to stop my former agency right now. Even if I talk to the agency now, it doesn’t mean that we can block the chirashi at the source.”
“Then I guess I can do it myself.”
“what?”
I crossed my arms.
“Hyung can announce it himself first.”
“… first?”
“I participated because my agency forced me to, but I write that I don’t want to go back because I found my aptitude. Be sure to emphasize the ‘forced coercion’ of your former agency. Like, thanks to the audition, I escaped well.”
“… … !”
“Then, won’t it work well even if I come out with a chirashi?”
It means to create an atmosphere so that the fans can defend themselves saying that the former agency is spreading rumors.
Once the public opinion turns around, the former agency will feel burdened to drag out the lawsuit, and then T1, who doesn’t want to give a stake, will take care of it.
Lee Se-jin was silent for a moment with her mouth open.
“… What were you doing after you dropped out?”
“I auditioned.”
This repertoire does not change. It was fortunate that the NIS did not come out this time.
“Then let’s talk that way with the agency.”
“… okay.”
Anyway, the situation was sorted out. Ryu Cheng-wu will take care of the rest. I held back a sigh.
“… Should I post it on my social media account?”
“Be sure to write in your own handwriting.”

After the news of Lee Se-jin’s former agency Dream K’s lawsuit came out, the internet entertainment articles section was filled with at least one related content.
In fact, it was an unfair contract, so various reactions came out in conjunction with the problem of power abuse at the broadcasting station.
– It was too much to steal someone who had the remaining contract period. They should maintain the contract and only manage the operation
-Then it’s a double settlement. For idols, that’s better
– To be honest, the former agency didn’t do anything right, so didn’t they even send out auditions?
– If you train trainees and pay for this and that, it’s true that your former agency is unfair.
-Ah, I’m tired because of Lee Se-jin. What’s happening? Just give it away and let’s do it with 6 people. Without it anyway, the stage quality and the atmosphere of the team are all helpful
.
-Ah, he’s really of no help
. -My kids are doing well, but let’s pretend it’s
bad luck and leave without it. -What happened to this a week before the debut ?
huh isn’t it?
-I couldn’t sleep, cried, and only watched the stage and ran to the testa that passed. The actor didn’t suit me, so
please take it out.
and the next morning.
A new post notification came on Testa’s SNS, which hadn’t been notified since the first post.
Fans who clicked at the speed of light saw a post with a picture of a handwritten letter attached.
-… !
It was Lee Se-jin’s writing.
————=
[Hello. I am Sejin Lee, a member of Testa.]
: I am writing to convey my thoughts on recent news and stories.
————=
The text, carefully written in neat handwriting, began with a story about her childhood life in the entertainment industry.
To sum it up, it meant that the former agency abused the young self tremendously.
————=
[…] Due to such an excessive schedule, my health suffered and I stopped working as a child actor. It seems that it was difficult for a 12-year-old to handle the schedule of not sleeping properly for 3 hours a day.]
————————=
And barely recovered So, the moment I was about to take on a new challenge, word continued that I was forced to participate in the audition by my former agency.
————=
[…] I turned it down several times because I had never been on stage before. However, ‘if you don’t appear in this program, you won’t get any work.’ I was put under great pressure from the explanations, etc., and participated in < Idol Co., Ltd. >]
————=
Then I participated in the audition.
Lee Se-jin wrote that he felt a great unexpected pleasure there.
————=
[It was so much fun to make the stage with good friends who approached me, who was passive in peer relationships, and with them. It was very thrilling and happy to stand on that stage.
I didn’t expect it at all, but I really wanted to keep doing this. It became desperate.
And I’m really thankful that that dream has come true and now that I can debut with good friends is a very precious opportunity for me.]
———————— =
Lee Se-jin finished the article by saying that he really wants to debut as a testa with these friends.
————=
[Sorry for not being able to deliver the first post with good news. In the next article, we will come back with news that can give you joy as a testa member. Thank you for reading this long article.]
————=
Testa fans who were even a little friendly to Lee Se-jin not long after this article was posted. Their public opinion came to life.
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Sejin said he would become an idol! Just let them do it ㅠㅠ
– No, where did the conscience of the former agency go? What kind of unfair thing is it to say to a 12-year-old kid ㅋㅋ Isn’t it unfair what you guys did?
-Only this time, T1 was correct. And Dream K made the sound of being slapped.
-Actually, I also became a tester for Sejin. I sometimes wondered if it was something I really wanted to do
.
-It makes me sick to think of a 12-year-old kid who appeared on the air with a big smile even though he was having such a hard time…
– I thought that Sejin’s personality became calmer as he grew up a lot… under…
-I wanted to see Sejin acting, but… More than that, I want to see Sejin do what he wants to do. I can’t go back to that agency once.
And once public opinion collapsed, people who enjoyed rejecting Lee Se-jin fell away quite a bit.
Of course, there were still many people who were sarcastic, but for now, it has become a form of being pushed out of the number of heads.
-Lee Se-jin is also a little emotional lol But what can you do with the worst?
└Because I’m angry at a 23-year-old, I’m doing better than life! Haha
└ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
we’re saying that we want to keep doing it because it’s ok when we’ve become idols hahahaha I feel sorry for the kids who were eliminated as if they were about to escape after 3 years of
trying How messed up the accident is, how do you interpret it in such a shady way…
└ Characteristics of these guys: Sarcastic kids who were eliminated because they were pushed by Lee Se-jin in another article.
As a fan of the audition pass, they felt sympathy with Lee Se-jin’s writings, so Testa’s individual fandom began to feel repulsive about the malicious comments about this case.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tnet caught Dream K with some carrots and an overflowing stick.
The day when the knights quietly descended and the atmosphere of the fans reversed.
As if to drive a wedge, another teaser surfaced at midnight.
However, this time it was not uploaded to the official Testa Witube channel.
Instead, it was added as a testa reality item on Tnet.
[TeSTAR (Testa) ‘Hi-five’ Official Teaser]
‘Is the channel real?’
‘I’m not a magical boy… ?’
Fans thought that way for a while, and they quickly clicked on the video.
“… … !”
