Debut or Die - Chapter 84
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 084
“Hmm… … .”
The living room of the dorm suddenly became quiet.
I won first place, but after drinking alcohol, my tension was relieved, and most of them were sleeping stretched out, probably from the accumulated fatigue.
The two minors also dozed off and fell asleep. Lee Se-jin had already entered the room in the middle, perhaps due to physical problems.
He must have been asleep too.
So what’s left of the living room… …
“Mundae, are you okay?”
It’s just me and Ryu Cheng-wu.
It was because the alcohol was strong over there and I was still able to stay awake thanks to the ‘Bacchus 500’ characteristics.
“yes. it’s okay.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Liu Cheng-wu smiled and drank the beer in his hand.
‘How many cans did he drink?’
It doesn’t matter, since I don’t think I’m nearly drunk anyway, but I’m sure I’ve had more than half a dozen cans.
It was clear that the amount of alcohol was enormous.
“Hmm, how about being active?”
“I have something to do.”
“Haha Mundae is always calm.”
Ryu Cheng-wu carefully folded the can of beer he had finished drinking and put it down. His expression looked very sad.
‘Why is that again?’
I even got 1st place, but I was worried about something else, so my face was really bad.
“I wish I had a calmer personality like you.”
“… Do you think you are calm enough?”
Considering the attitude he took for the past two months after < Azusa >, it was an unexpected statement. However, Liu Chengwu shook his head.
“No, I think I have poor judgment at the crucial moment. It’s like the fact that I couldn’t properly express my feelings when I won first place today… Overall yes.”
“… … ?”
this is more absurd
‘My first place impression was already a mess, but what?’
“Hyung, you’ve been a good leader since the audition. I don’t think you had any problems with that.”
“I was the leader because I was the elder, not because I was good at it. The team never ran right… Yes, except for the second time we were together.”
It’s honestly not Ryu Chung-woo’s fault.
‘It’s just that you didn’t have bad luck on the team.’
I reluctantly opened another beer.
“During < Azusa >, it was a survival game in a short period of time, so there were fewer teams that did well. And anyway, Testa seems to be running well.”
“… I’m worried that it’s going well and that my mistake might cause a problem.”
Ryu Cheng-wu smiled bitterly.
“Honestly, the only position I could contribute to this team was the leader, so I entrusted it… It seems a bit limiting. I’m not the type to put up with things this far.”
“hmm.”
Somehow, after the formation of Testa, it was said that Ryu Cheng-wu’s attitude had become more conservative and moderate, but he had suppressed it.
‘When I think about it in the second round, I originally had a more challenging and cheerful personality.’
The conflicts I experienced during Azusa must have had a strange learning effect.
In the meantime, Liu Cheng-wu continued to speak. It seems that he was quite upset.
“Even when I was very young, I was a bit worried. I wonder if coming here was really the right choice… … .”
“… … .”
Come to think of it, even after winning a gold medal, there was no reason to quit archery and appear on a failed audition program.
“How did you come out?”
“Oh, I don’t know everyone. I had a relative among the Azusa writers.”
“… … !”
for a moment.
“Could it be Ryu Seo-rin?”
“that’s right. Did you know right away because we have the same last name?”
Liu Chengyu laughed, but I couldn’t.
“My older sister asked for something… I also took a new career this way anyway, so I came out.”
I broke out in a cold sweat.
‘Wouldn’t it be a scandal if you caught this now… ?’
It wouldn’t matter if the audition failed anyway, but now Season 3 of < Azusa > has established itself as an insanely successful program.
But one of the members who debuted is a relative of the writer?
‘Even Ryu Cheng-wu only received friendly edits all the time.’
this is perfect… It’s a scandal.
Liu Cheng-wu added a smile as if he noticed that much.
“There will be no harm to you. They’re distant relatives anyway, and I barely knew them. One day, I suddenly got a call… Because it was like an invitation.”
It probably means that in terms of format, it is no different from what Park Moon-dae received.
However, when the article appeared, there was no way they would kindly mark it.
It’s just ‘Testa members were actually relatives of the writer Azusa’ ‘Relatives who were recruited until their debut… A title like Azusa’s Shadow’ will come out.
I barely opened my mouth.
“… Don’t tell anyone.”
“Um, don’t worry about that either. It’s the first time I’m talking to you.”
Writer Ryu Seo-rin also said that as soon as the first episode aired and saw the reaction, she called and asked for confirmation.
‘… It just needs to pass this period.’
〈Azusa〉 By the time the next season comes out, so… If it explodes after two or three years, it will go away without a hitch.
And if it hasn’t exploded throughout the broadcast and hasn’t exploded yet, it would be right that everyone doesn’t know yet.
Just in case, I checked with Ryu Cheng-wu once again.
“How far are you related to the author?”
“hmm… Except for the fact that they are from the same Poongsan Ryu family… I don’t even know how many villages it is. That much.”
“… … .”
If that’s enough, it can be an excuse that it’s not even a relative. It can be solved by simply saying that recruiting was easy because the family is the same.
A little bit relaxed.
I don’t know what the next status ailment will be, but it seems that I was a little nervous because I was sure that bad things would happen to the team.
And other thoughts come to mind.
‘Come to think of it, I guess I was also from the Poongsan Ryu family.’
I’m not sure because I didn’t really care after my parents died, but I think it was.
If so, maybe Ryu Cheng-wu and Hang-ryeol were similar. Gun-Woo Ryu and Cheong-Woo Ryu.
hmm.
‘It must be a U character rotation.’
What is it? I shrugged.
“Strangely, I came to say this to you… Normally, I don’t talk about things like this to my younger siblings. haha.”
“… … .”
Did you instinctively know that you were older?
I changed the subject.
“then… The fact that you’re invited means you’re already preparing to become a singer.”
“huh. I can’t continue archery.”
Ryu Cheng-wu pretended to slightly turn his shoulders.
“I was in a car accident when I was young… I wonder if I touched something wrong, and aftereffects appear only after I grow up, but my hands shake when I apply force.”
“… … .”
“So I quit the year before last… I was exploring a new career path, what I was good at. haha.”
It was an attitude that was characteristic of someone who had already overcome.
‘It means it’s over.’
I just nodded.
Then there was a sound of someone stomping beside my feet.
“… Big.”
“… … ??”
“Sorry. I heard… … .”
Cha Yoo-jin, who had been sleeping on her stomach next to her, woke up with tears streaming down her face. And Kim Rae-bin, who was lying behind him, sniffed and moved his body.
“Somehow, I came to my senses… sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop… … .”
“no. Heung”
“… … .”
The two guys who didn’t have alcohol seemed to come to their senses right away at the sound.
Liu Qingyu was embarrassed for a moment, but soon smiled.
“It’s my fault for talking in the middle of the living room. Don’t worry and go to bed.”
However, the two men hesitated and left more words.
“brother. I’ll do better… … .”
“Cheongwoo hyung is cool. Well done idol!”
“… … Uhm”
Ryu Cheng-wu nodded with a complex and delicate face. I put on a horse.
“I think you’ll listen well now, but from now on, wouldn’t it be okay to not hold back and be a little more comfortable? leader.”
“… What are you thinking of doing?”
“yes? Of course, I will give up halfway and be ruined.”
“… … .”
am i the leader? I’m sure one or two of them will lose money because they’re pissed off.
Liu Cheng-wu seemed to be feeling sincere, and his face became speechless. It’s a bit of an odd expression.
“… … Phew.”
But he answered in a more relaxed manner.
“… okay. Got it. Leader, I will continue.”
“and!”
“Instead, you guys stop me if I try to do useless things. Now I can’t just apply the brakes unconditionally.”
“sure.”
Liu Cheng-wu muttered something like “I am,” and then stretched himself and went into his room. Perhaps because he had confessed his true feelings, his steps seemed lighter.
And in the living room… Only food waste and fallen human bodies remained.
“… … .”
“… Shall we go in?”
“yes.”
When you wake up, you’ll know. Let it be.

Immediately after Testa solved the joy and regret of winning first place.
Fans endured until Testa’s first No. It was because he didn’t want to team kill the good news from Testa.
-Let’s keep
asking questions.
However, in the end, even after a few days, I did not receive any feedback.
-Are these bastards out of their minds?
Public opinion, which had been bubbling under the surface, eventually exploded, and fans eventually issued a statement to the agency.
————= [
Statement requesting support for artist activities]
Criticizes the irrational management of the company and demands respect for the legitimate rights of artists and consumers (fans). Before debut… … ]
————————=
Because it was not tied to any individual member, even the individual fan community of all members united and scaled has grown like crazy.
Fortunately for the fans who are slowly preparing to protest by fax and post-it as the next means if the statement cannot be made, the agency’s response came.
————=
[Hello. This is T1 Stars Entertainment.]
[We are doing our best to support Testa’s activities, and the recent fans’ concerns will be implemented in time… … ]
————————=
It was a declaration of surrender.
There were fans who were annoyed at the nuance of ‘I was already preparing and you guys overdid it!’, but the atmosphere was somewhat subdued by the story that I would try something soon.
-As expected, does X cow listen to words…
-Honestly, you guys are talking about the fact that the fandom name would have come out only when the 2nd album hadn’t made a fuss right now, right? Haha Actually, I think so too ㅇㅇ
-Lightsticks are also lightsticks, but from now on, please don’t hold the kids’ comeback schedule like a beggar. No matter how good the money is, stop squeezing the kids.
-Next time, if there is an article about this damn comeback within a month, I will send a protest truck, so know that lol
The agency secretly tried to raise their luck with an article as if they were going to do an Azusa-style event like ‘the fandom name that fans choose themselves’, but the fans attacked. sunk in
-please! stop! make it! We’re tired of voting stocks now. Just do
what Testa wants to do. -Genius idols who make top-notch song concepts
