Chapter 450
Debut or Die
If you donât debut, youâll get a fatal disease. Episode 450
Seeing Chung-rye at the awards ceremony is nothing new.
Whether itâs VTIC or Testa, since their debut, theyâve never had a performance they wouldnât be proud of at an awards ceremony.
But it had been a very long time since I had seen it from this location.
So in the composition where I take a camera and take a picture of him from the audience.
â⦠hmm.â
Cheong-Ryeo was wearing a suit.
He is still a guy who feels like the unit price would be good. Iâve been there for decades, so maybe itâs natural momentum.
âItâs not like Iâm going to sell it anymore.â
I left a few sheets out of habit.
It was then.
â⦠!â
Cheongryeo turned her gaze. And slowly he raised his hand.
â⦠⦠.â
light hand greetings.
Unfortunately, the direction is the audience seat near where I am.
To the extent that it feels as if our eyes met through the viewfinder.
â⦠no way.â
⦠⦠Did you notice?
no Does that bastard even make sense in a situation where there are no hints?
âWhat can I see with the GM function that will remain in that guy⦠.â
At that moment, a pop-up appeared in front of my eyes.
[brother! Are you here?]
Itâs a big month.
â⦠! okay.â
As I opened my mouth to answer, I replied inwardly, ignoring the gaze from the seat next to me.
âHasnât VTIC sitting next to you talked to you?â
[uh⦠no? Itâs not like Iâm talking or not. ⦠Shall I talk to you?]
âNo.â
just dodge it
[Whew.]
What did you ask while you were about to breathe a sigh of relief?
I shook my head and answered.
âYou donât have to worry about that. Itâs okay as long as you sit quietly.â
Unlike the radio, there are no comments, so there is only one role. sit nice.
[Right?]
Then.
Oh right.
âBe sure to concentrate when other singers are on stage.â
This is because the stomach tube may be covered with it the moment you yawn or frown.
âEven if I canât help but relax once or twice⦠.â
[â¦] Iâll never relax!]
Iâd like to tell you thereâs no such thing as that, but itâs actually the best way. Letâs do some cheering.
I picked up the camera I had removed from my eyes and turned it back to the singerâs seat.
Cheong-rye had already turned her gaze toward the road stage.
âWas it an illusion?â
I clicked my tongue briefly and took a few more shots of Testana.
The same goes for Park Moondae, where the big moon is located. A guy with a lot of spirit is quite⦠It seemed plausible.
that you followed me
â⦠Is this how it feels?â
I kept pressing the shutter without a word.
It was a bit strange for me to film Testa Park Moondae myself.
âHey, Iâm sorry, but give me your hand.â
âyes.â
During that time, the person sitting next to me bumped into my arm several times. Heâs a pretty reckless photographer.
I turned my shoulders and glanced at the person who was talking to me.
Seeing that the shooting angle is similar, this person is also taking a testa⦠⦠.
â⦠!!â
⦠Thatâs right.
Itâs a familiar face.
The problem was that it was a face that Ryu Gun-woo also knew.
â⦠Ryu Seo-jin.â
Sitting next to him is a senior from the same photography club in college. Writer Ryu Seo-rinâs younger sister.
therefore⦠Itâs a home mom who takes a big picture with me.
* * *
âThe lights are garbage.â
Ryu Seo-jin grumbled and set the camera. There were a lot of people around him with cameras similar to his own.
Itâs probably because this location is perfect for taking pictures.
âBesides, this awards ceremony is easy to film without having to hold an audience with a camera.â
The people who were taking pictures flocked in droves.
It was the same with the seat next to him. A well-built man wearing a black mask was holding a camera.
However, it was a little strange that he was dressed in a black suit. Anyone can see that it is a healthy and neat âworkâ outfit.
âAre they related?â
Thatâs why I donât have a pass around my neck, but I could have kept it in my pocket.
You can guess how old he is by looking at his age, but⦠.
âHow are you?â
She was too busy taking pictures of idol faces, and it didnât matter what the face of the man next to her looked like.
Ryu Seo-jin fixed his gaze on the camera again.
âDid these bastards fight?â
I thought that it would be difficult to get a good two-shot between Lee Se-jin and Park Moon-dae because they seemed strangely distant.
And soon the stage began.
[This is the spacer for the Hot Performance Award of the Year.]
Several groups of singers line up on stage.
Of the hundreds of thousands of groups that were active last year, only about 20 teams came here, but even within them, the ranks and positions were divided.
âThe exchange quantity must match.â
Deciding to exchange data with other singers in other seats, she put a lot of effort into taking pictures of several teams.
However, he didnât have the loyalty or stamina to film a team he wasnât interested in. Because Iâm an office worker who just got off work.
âShould I do this?â
Besides, Testa was also absent from the singerâs seat for a while, so she rubbed her shoulders and lowered the camera for a moment.
and saw the moment
click.
The flashy camera of the man in the suit sitting next to you.
â⦠Thatâs it.â
ruler⦠Take good pictures.
You can tell just by looking at the camera.
Stable support, smooth movement, and skillful operation.
Besides, from the camera angle⦠⦠.
â⦠You only shoot the ones that will sell the best, right?â
Itâs not just a picture of a popular member.
Demand soars in the supply and demand line of data, so only those who are in an exquisite period of shortage of supply are found and filmed.
For example, a member like Mirinaeâs Park Min-ha.
Recently, in a variety show he appeared as an individual, he appealed to the light fan base rather than the public, and his fandom popularity rose instantly.
Or a member who is so good at the stage that the demand is constantly overflowing. I was only aiming for idols like that.
âwhat.â
It was an impossible action unless you were completely familiar with this board.
âIs that an official or a data arm?â
He is currently a first-team idol, but he is a former data arm.
Twin Homma, who couldnât even guess that fact, just clicked her tongue and regretted it.
âI wish I could have sat on the other side.â
The angle was almost the same as the one I took, so there was no need to buy that data.
âWell, if it was that way in the first place, among the testers, Cha Yu-jin would have taken it.â
Thinking nonchalantly, she was about to recheck her data, but suddenly realized.
â⦠?â
The man next to me in a suit⦠Strangely, the habit of taking pictures was familiar to me.
resemble yourself
âHmm.â
I looked closely again.
To be precise, it wasnât just him. At first glance, I could see things like tips and attitudes shared by members of the club.
âCome to think of it, somehow the physique seems familiar⦠.â
In the end, it was the moment when she tried to carefully check Ryu Gun-wooâs face.
âHey Younglin!â
A voice called from the back seat.
At the name of such a famous singer, she reflexively turned her head to the stage.
Indeed, Youngrin was coming up on stage.
âalready?â
It should come out a little later, in terms of yearly leave or grades. Was it after Testa in the leaked cue sheet?
However, if you look closely, it was during the stage of her juniors that Youngrin appeared.
It was a kind of surprise featuring stage.
âoh.â
Youngrin neatly entered the performance formation.
Although she was very successful as a solo artist, it was a stage where you could feel that Youngrin was originally a member of a group.
âMy juniors are pushing me away.â
If it was intended to encourage juniors, it was a failure of the agency. It was time for Ryu Seo-jin to make a cool evaluation.
Youngrin looked this way and gestured.
âAagh!â
âYoung Rin!!â
The surroundings became noisy as if my ears would burst from the surround sound. Each seemed to think they had met their eyes.
Usually, in this case, âYoungrin-nim saw me!â Ryuâs mistake, but⦠.
âhmm?â
Seojin Ryu slightly frowned.
I didnât think I saw myself.
âYoungrin⦠Didnât you see the data pal sitting next to me?â
* * *
[Thank you!]
I took a few more shots of the award-winning testa on stage.
Itâs like a habit, but there is also an intention to check Keundalâs attitude one more time.
âItâs fine.â
Even though I gave it a good grade, I didnât bother to take the camera away from my face.
In fact, there is one more reason to keep doing this.
â⦠Cover your face.â
Just in case Ryu Seo-jin recognizes me. Well, since Iâm wearing a mask and itâs been a few years, I think thereâs little chance.
âShould I be more careful until I change my body?â
I carefully decided to film all kinds of idols with a camera.
Naturally, the unit price rankings are automatically updated in the head, as was the habit of the data arm days, but one of the highest ranking female idols appeared a little earlier.
âYounglin.â
The main character of the first great fancam that made me earn tuition for one semester. I wonder if Youngrin, who was unknown, also emerged because of that.
âIt was a fancam filmed on a rainy day.â
Without much thought, I continued to stare through the viewfinder.
It was then.
Youngrin pointed at my camera with her hand.
â⦠⦠!â
I froze with the camera for a moment.
If Iâm not mistaken⦠.
âCould I remember?â
No way.
That was about 10 years ago. Thereâs no way he still remembers it, and even if he did, how could he have recognized it right away at this moment?
âbut⦠⦠.â
Right before the final ending, Youngrin looked away again when she was not caught by the broadcast camera.
-Remember me
eye contact. and hand shape.
It was a familiar hand gesture.
The signature gesture of the song that was captured on the rainwater fancam I filmed at the time.
This⦠It couldnât have been an illusion.
â⦠⦠.â
-Wow!!
The stage ended with cheers. Youngrinâs gaze also disappeared along with the lighting.
however⦠I felt strange.
âHow do I remember.â
I wasnât even a fan at the time. After that, there were times when I took pictures of Youngrin a few times at events, but there was never anything like that.
I thought it was a matter of seat selection that made direct cams with amazingly good eye contact.
perhaps⦠.
â⦠Did it leave an impression?â
I mean the audience holding the camera that took the direct cam that made them rise.
I thought it was bullshit before, but now I know.
that there is a possibility.
âBecause weâre doing the same thing.â
That feeling when you look at the audience on stage, when you look at your own fancam, when you look at peopleâs reactions.
And no matter how you feel when you see the camera of a fancam that has returned after a few years.
â⦠⦠.â
I lowered the camera.
And I saw the time displayed at the top of the screen.
-PM 11:21
âAh.â
The time has come.
I took a slow breath and counted down.

That moment.
Flash.
â⦠after.â
I closed and opened my eyes.
perspective has changed. sound too.
â Wow!
Cheers resounded from a seat a little farther away, not right next to it like before.
I was sitting in the singerâs seat next to the speaker.
and.
âIt came just in time.â
There was a hand tapping on my shoulder. Itâs Ryu Cheng-wu.
When he raised his head, he seemed to notice that the other guys were also checking the time.
â⦠! Moondae hyungâ
âAre you okay?â
of course.
I nodded my head as I looked around, not awkwardly in the appropriate line.
The members greeted each other as quietly as possible by grinning or handing out water.
If it wasnât for the singerâs seat, it would have made more noise.
âAnd with this, I would have asked if the body change was over.â
Actually, Iâm also curious⦠.
â⦠⦠.â
I didnât see any popups and turned it off first.
Elements that will affect the stage are blocked for now.
âItâs the same over there.â
When I turned my head, the seat at VTIC where Cheongryeo had been sitting earlier was right next to it.
But the seat was already empty. Itâs because he also woke up to prepare for the stage.
âokay.â
it was better Right now, there is only one thing that is most urgent.
Because itâs about time now.
[Singer of the Year / Album â 2nd Quarter]
[Congratulations.]
[Testa / Savior (Jikimi)]
A few minutes later.
I went backstage to go up on stage.
The long awaited comeback stage was right in front of them.
* * *
âWait a minute over there.â
âYes yes?â
âOh right. Ryu Gun-woo.â
â⦠??â
âItâs been a while. Youâre still doing this.â
â⦠brother!!â
⦠For reference, I couldnât have imagined that Keundal was going through something like this in the audience.
