Chapter 295

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 295

Agency’s group concert.

Usually, it is an event that can be held by a company that has at least one male and female idol group each, and even a promising newcomer.

In that sense, you might think that this agency, which has three groups from 〈Azusa〉, met the minimum requirements… It is an illusion.

I frowned as I checked the plan I had brought home.

‘I don’t think anyone will like it.’

Isn’t there a color unique to this hastily made agency, even if you wash your eyes and look for it?

This is what is commonly referred to as the ‘feeling unique to that agency’.

‘For audience satisfaction, there must be a common demand between the teams.’

I don’t know what kind of guts a group of winners of an audition program or an agency that has received a lot of money from, has the guts to even plan their own concert.

Of course, the purpose is roughly guessed.

“Um~ I guess you’re trying to show off the newly debuted kids?”

Big Sejin shrugged and said.

“Look, I even gave them a composition to cover some of our songs~ our season songs are also in Xian.”

“Mmm.”

And Bae Se-jin, who was drinking water in the kitchen, speaks with a slightly nervous face.

“… Isn’t this an attempt to change generations?”

“Generation change?”

“Why is it that we don’t even have time left on our contract… There is something that induces fans to like rookie groups!”

“that… ! Are you misjudging that this group has already exhausted its potential?”

Kim Rae-bin is frightened as if it sounded plausible. Bae Se-jin nodded seriously.

“… It could be.”

me really

‘Have you seen it anywhere on YouTube?’

After watching so many KPOP related channels, it seems that he has some clumsy knowledge.

I smiled and shook my head.

“I don’t think so. It seems like they’re just trying to bring some buzz to the group.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Maybe the previous season didn’t go as well as our season, so I think I’m trying to make some gains. Don’t worry too much.”

We’ve barely built up a friendly relationship, but it’s too much of a waste from the company’s point of view to give up on Testa here.

‘He must be thinking that we will renew the contract.’

The benefits attached to the testa weight class will stop at the level of eating metallurgy metallurgy.

‘There’s no great merit in splitting the belly of the goose that lays the golden eggs.’

Big Sejin readily agreed.

“I agree! Still, it’s good to be alert~ Hmm, I think hyung-nim’s words are in a good direction.”

“… okay.”

“That is a great word.”

Bae Se-jin and Kim Rae-bin quickly discarded the conspiracy theory. And Cha Yu-jin intervenes without hesitation.

“So when do we do that? Are you quick?”

“see… 25 days later?”

Ryu Chung-woo pointed to the ‘August rental completion’ part of the plan with his finger. I paid more attention to other parts.

‘It’s smaller than I thought’

Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium has a scale of 11,000 people.

At least ‘Testa + Mirinae + Rookie? Let’s go to the stadium!’ It is that they did not figure out the demand with the same stupid fan count calculation.

This is an insight into the industry that you can’t expect from this agency.

‘The headquarters intervened.’

It seems that T1 breath has entered.

Seeing that the concert itself was aired on Tnet in the first place, it seems that T1 pushed it forward and the agency rushed it forward.

‘TaKon’s response is so good, it seems like he wants to take another round.’

I feel like I’m going to be cursed at by the fans… Well, Testa has little to lose.

‘If part of the concert stage gets airwaves, it will have a publicity effect.’

It’s the second half of the contract, so if there are no problems later, it’s time to go without friction with T1, so I think it’s okay to accept this much without a boycott.

“I only need to prepare five songs in total.”

I chuckled and tapped the plan.

‘Bring some buzz.’

However, you have to take responsibility for knowing what kind of topic it will be.

Two male idol groups of a similar age from the same audition series… Even the same song?

It will be compared like crazy.

And we have no burden.

“Well, about three and a half weeks. It’s tight.”

“It goes similar to the theme of the last concert, so I don’t think it will be too much~”

“I need to inquire about the details to see if a separate arrangement is needed.”

I called up the status window of one of the guys who are talking hard right now.

[Name: Raebin Kim]

Rap: A+ (S+)

(Singing: C+)

Dance: B+ (A+)

Appearance: A- (A+)

Talent: A (S

) Trait:

Maestro I mean.

Even compared to , there are numerous guys whose stats have risen by at least 3 points.

‘In the meantime, Kim Rae-bin went up to the attribute level.’

It might be natural for each album to be voluntarily divided into short-term works.

The weakest was Bae Se-jin, but it seems like he learned a strange trick these days.

-This was just memorizing the entire movement according to the lyrics… !

-… ??

Having become accustomed to the basic dance routine, he became much more plausible by following these tricks, focusing on reproducing movements rather than dancing with a rhythm.

‘Isn’t that more difficult?’

What made me feel more comfortable?

Anyway, the important thing is that opinions criticizing Testa as a stage are now rarely seen on the Internet.

‘Cover difficulty extreme.’

Already at the Rookie of the Year award, the case of Onyx, who changed the song and performed, seemed to have an impression, and the conclusion was drawn from an image on the Internet.

Besides, this time, the other side covers us unilaterally.

The moment there is a difference in the basic stats and the amount of practice, the result is already fixed.

So it’s even more strange to worry about leaking the fandom with something like this.

‘It’s enough if you only care about the way you treat your juniors.’

Rather, what worries me is this stage, which was put in to match the assortment. Just then, Liu Cheng-wu touched it with his hand.

Joint stage (TBD) / 2 people per team

“And there is one joint stage among the five.”

“yes.”

It is a joint stage where some of our members go on stage with our juniors.

Excluding the rustic composition of singing a national song together at the ending, it is the first and last stage where Testa and his juniors go up together.

‘It looks like someone will come out with noise in the foreground.’

Then Cha Yu-jin raised her hand again.

“I will! Let’s do the joint stage!”

“haha.”

I thought so.

None of the members gave a definite answer to Cha Yoo-jin’s active support. If the atmosphere here is okay, the real Cha Yoo-jin will do it.

‘I think it would be a bit harsh to let Cha Yu-jin go.’

It doesn’t matter to us, but it’s a matter of public opinion.

It is like sending a strategic weapon to a friendly match.

I decided to put this on hold for now as there are some corners worth thinking about.

And soon after, at the first group meeting and practice schedule, it becomes clear that this worry was worthwhile.

“This is the new setlist.”

In the paper that arrived earlier than the scheduled time, the joint stage part had changed.

Joint stage (undecided) / 2 testers Mirinae 2

‘These bastards are missing.’

The debut group this time was left out of the joint stage roster.

The reason is ‘I have to prepare for my debut, but the new stage to prepare for is too heavy’ begging.

“If you don’t mind, I’m going to arrange a seat for these guys in the form of a story development that naturally leads to the next stage at the end of this stage.”

The director’s explanation was plausible, but it’s a very strategic decision to see it as a separate rookie group’s choice.

The excuse was plausible, but… The timing is exquisite.

“hmm.”

… It’s a pretty interesting situation.

I’ll have to get over it and deal with what’s happening right now.

I started revising the plan for this joint stage while the director was away on another call.

It wasn’t long before Mirina arrived at full speed.

bang!

“hello!”

It’s not too late, but it looks like you’re also busy preparing for a comeback. After some greetings and preparation staff moved, Liu Cheng-wu kindly explained.

“It is said that there has been some change in the preliminary plan. It sounds like we’re doing a joint stage together.”

“Ah yes.”

2nd place so… Park Min-ha said with an empty face.

“Plan… We didn’t get that, senior… .”

Due to the fate of a group with less time available, Mirinae seems to have participated after receiving a one-sided notice.

‘No, it’s not a matter of time, but is Testa a special case.’

The incidents overlapped and took the initiative, but usually it’s time to listen to the company for a long time, even if it’s the 4th year.

‘hmm.’

Big Se-jin quickly intervened to liven up the atmosphere.

“Ay, is that initial plan important? It’s important that we create a great stage right now! Please take good care of me~”

“Yep. That is very true. I will work hard unconditionally. i look forward to!”

Cha Yoo-jin cheerfully holds out her hand for a handshake.

“Yeees! Please do well on stage with me too… .”

“for a moment.”

Without changing the color of my face, I calmly pulled Cha Yu-jin’s shoulder.

“Eugene, it’s not ‘like’.”

“… ??”

“Oh right… . I don’t do that stage together.”

Cha Yoo-jin got a little sullen and put her hand back.

Yes. Cha Yoo-jin was taken out of the joint stage due to an emergency meeting just now.

-What? I’m good!

-Yes, I know you are good at it. So let’s do a bigger stage at our concert.

-What’s bigger?

-therefore… … .

… Let me just say that I used a lot of carrots. And the reason why I did this is different from what I initially considered.

‘This guy is too friendly, so I can’t.’

At the same time, there is no hesitation. I will perform a picture suitable for the stage without hesitation, so if I am rude, it will cross the line that the fans can comfortably tolerate.

‘There are so many things to consider when it comes to one-on-one male and female idol group performances, so it’s difficult.’

In a situation like this, it’s safest to only do those who know how to use their brains.

So the answer is only one.

“that… What a rush!”

“Yes, yes!”

Sejin smiled and put his arm around me.

“I think the joint stage will be like this with me at Mundae. Please take good care of me!”

It happened.

If you do this, even in the worst case, you’ll just hear that it’s out of place and funny.

“Oh, really! Is it okay if I actively express my opinion? I hope we do something cool!”

“Yulgi Yaaaak.”

“Why? Am I a little weird?”

At Mirinae’s remarks, the members around her clung to her while lowering their heads while making strange noises.

2nd place nodded quietly with a face that gave up everything.

“yes. We are Yulgi and I.”

1st and 2nd placed side by side.

It means that I won’t lose momentum… It’s probably the line made by that number two.

‘Did you guess that Testa would try to win, whether it’s mixed or naked?’

Is it because we are all from audition? This was also a unique situation.

If this continues, we can keep each other in check, just like the audition program team battle, but then there will always be noise in the process.

“Wow, that’s reassuring~ Let’s work hard!”

Besides, even the guy who would normally have said something like ‘Let’s make a slogan, let’s break up a group room’ was just doing his job, so he showed a rough idea of how things would go.

‘If I had to choose a good quality guy… .’

So is this all there is?

Of the stage concept candidates I envisioned, I naturally left only one and excluded the rest.

And I ran a few simulations in my head to make the flow of the meeting flow as naturally as possible.

* * *

After the director returns and a few important announcements and discussions have all come and gone.

Additional meetings were held separately for the members to prepare for the joint stage.

Let’s start with the things that can’t be easily changed later… stage equipment.

‘also.’

In addition, as this joint stage is added to the existing stages of each group, the devices used in the front and back stages are already preoccupied.

“Didn’t the director say it’s better not to overlap like this?”

“Yes, yes.”

hmm.

Then disconnect the wire once. In addition, pollen lift is also used at the back stage, so it is excluded.

“Water can be difficult. After all, the next stage is our title, so it would be a bit like a direct comparison, right?”

“Nep.”

Big Sejin naturally erases the things Testa was trying to use on the main stage. you’re good.

However, Mirinae’s 1st place seemed a bit frustrating.

“Why don’t we start by choosing a song like we usually do? Now that I can only say things that aren’t very good, I feel more energetic!”

“Oh sister!”

“That’s right.”

well said

“What do you want to do?”

“ah! First of all, I like hip-hop too… .”

I waited for Mirinae to tell me how to sing as many songs as I wanted.

Until all kinds of candidates come to mind with excitement.

‘Looking at his personality, he’s the type to want to learn a lot.’

And if you talk about it, the songs I was considering will also come out.

“If you look at it that way, ‘Attack’ is also… .”

yes it came out

In this way, the song will feel like you chose it.

After a little more time, I gave a signal to Sejin and intervened.

“Come to think of it, you said earlier that you wanted to do something cool.”

“yes yes!”

“Then, about the song you just mentioned… How do you like this concept?”

I wrote lines and letters on the paper.

Concept Expected Effect Arrangement Direction…

Like brainstorming in moderation to make it look like you came up with it on the fly.

“It feels like this.”

Since it was small, I was interested in it, so it became more natural like impromptu.

I hit the paper once and looked up.

Mirinae’s No. 1 eyes were shining.

It worked.

“I like it!”

“me too… no yes I think you gave me a really good opinion!”

good. It may have been a bit mixed with my social life, but I think it’s sincere.

Then, this is the timing for the next build-up.

“Ah~ everyone’s heart goes in this direction. Then, the stage element is also easy? I think it would be perfect to use this!”

After listening to the two of them, Keun Se-jin naturally pointed to one of the remaining stage sets with his finger.

-Laser

The picture was completed without wasting time due to checks like that.
