Chapter 484
Debut or Die
If you donât debut, youâll get a fatal disease.
Featured in episode 484.
Musician Usually, it means that a guest participates and sings some parts when a singer sings a song.
Usually, it is mainstream for guests with different attributes from the original singer to participate.
Thatâs why it gives the album a different fun or strength.
For example, a vocalist for a rapper, a woman for a man, or a senior singer for publicity for juniors who lack recognition.
By the way.
-VTIC Cheong Ryeo Senior: Junior. Are you not interested in featuring?
Could it be that Iâm in the VTIC song?
â⦠Group 1 male idol to feature in another group 1 male idol song?â
An internet version full of verbal violence immediately comes to mind.
Itâs going to be a terrible piece of shit.
Of course, you can pull it off properly with one aggro, but⦠.
âwhy me?â
Thereâs nothing more to think about.
-Iâm sorry, but we have a lot of new responsibilities right now to take on new challenges.
I stopped looking at the status window for a moment and started replying right away.
âI donât think he really meant to feature himself.â
The intention was to find out what the ulterior motive was to send such a text message.
And not long after, the phone rang again.
The reply I got was⦠.
-VTIC Cheong Gyung-ryeo senior: Really?
-VTIC Cheong Gyung-rye senior: You should be interested.
â⦠⦠.â
-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: Doesnât it feel better to help each other rather than debt? It looks good too.
Look at this.
âAre you telling me not to mention that youâve helped me a few times lately and put it on debt?â
Heâs the guy who tried to break my head, but thereâs definitely a price to pay for it cooperatively and voluntarily.
After that, I received a few decisive help.
âStill, it was both sides.â
Where are you pretending that only you helped me unilaterally? In addition, the back of the head was also beaten a few times.
As if I didnât understand what he was saying, I started texting in the opposite way.
-There is no need for you to feel that you are in debt
.
âhmm.â
I donât think this guy is just trying to scratch.
Itâs a bit upsetting, but itâs also quite interesting. I rubbed my chin and edited my reply before sending it.
-What kind of song is it?
I can say these things out of my mouth, but he knows how to tell the difference like water that has been stagnant for decades.
Iâm not a clear-headed bastard who thinks I want to be with someone just because Iâm close to him.
It is said that there is no way they can ask me to be featured in their album. therefore⦠.
âThis must be a connection.â
Who is it? Hopefully soft and sweet⦠.
Gyiing-
-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: Of course itâs my song.^^
â⦠⦠.â
Are you crazy? this?
I hit the guy on the phone.
âSeniors.â
â Junior.
âIs there anything else you want to explain?â
A small laugh was heard over the phone.
-yes.
Thus, an instant meeting took place.
Although it almost felt like a duel.
* * *
Cheong-rye called me to an outdoor cafe I had already met once.
âDid they even take over?â
Did they borrow the whole thing so quickly or was it really a scam?
Instead, this time the yellow dog was happily running across the grass.
âBecause itâs summer, the grass is growing well, so the beans must have been excited.â
â⦠⦠.â
king!
I set the ball down at my feet and looked at the dog wagging its tail.
what⦠Is it to throw
âItâs old.â
As the soft ball swung across the yard in a parabolic arc, the dog ran after the ball.
And I looked at the human on the other side of the road.
âIf itâs hot, you can go inside.â
âdone.â
The morning was still close to dawn, so it was cool.
I didnât open my mouth first, but crossed my arms and waited for the guy who made the proposal to explain himself.
because thatâs the way
And Dory was kept.
âWell, you know Iâm preparing an album first.â
okay.
âYou know that all VTIC members enlisted, right?â
uh know
He nodded, and the boy nodded his head disgustingly.
âThere is a song I want to use, but there are parts in the bridge that donât match the range.â
â⦠⦠.â
âWell, given the situation, I think junior is the right person for me. how is it?â
Are you serious?
âDoes a guy on vacation not even have a voice?â
Anyone who sees it will think that the main group is going on strike to stop recording.
However, Chung-rye did not blink an eye.
âYou canât engage in profitable activities while serving.â
âThe one I made before enlistment must be an exception.â
âBecause recording while on vacation is not applicable. Itâs difficult when words leak out.â
And smiled softly.
âYour junior will understand.â
â⦠⦠.â
I understand?
I understand that it can be difficult when words leak out⦠.
â⦠ah.â
Damn.
âIt went all the way to this guyâs ears.â
I picked up the ice water and drank it. And he opened his mouth.
âDid you leak it from LeTi?â
Cha Yoo-jin escapes from the dorm.
Thatâs what happened to Wonder Hallâs agency, which was preparing a reverse viral campaign against us, in a short time.
Was the route possibly LeTi?
âLeTi invested almost half of the investment in our company.â
In the process, it is an environment where there is no choice but to create a network of contacts among the people concerned. Of course, it means that there was an exchange of manpower.
And the story of Cha Yu-jinâs escape from the dorm might have leaked out there.
However, Chung-rye lightly changed her words.
âhmm. âI leaked all the way to LeTiâ is the right expression.â
â⦠⦠.â
âI understand. There must be a lot of things to worry about right now. Itâs difficult to even control information, right?â
He pulled his upper body slightly forward and rested his arms on the table.
âIâll let you know where the rat is when my junior is featuring.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSounds like a good exchange. how is it?â
hmm.
I set the glass with only ice on the table.
âFirst, check.â
âhmm?â
âWe need to check whether the information about our company you have heard is correct.â
That means it leaked to LeTi.
Cheong-Ryeo, who had been listening quietly, spoke the correct answer comfortably without hesitation.
âCha Yoo-jin left the dorm.â
âI donât know why you left.â
âConflict among members after stressful hospitalization⦠. Rumors spread like that, but I donât know.â
Doesnât that mean I donât think so?
However, they do not seem to have the slightest doubt that Cha Yu-jin escaped.
âIt kills my confidence.â
Itâs good anyway. I know this guy has a good understanding of the situation.
If so, next.
âWhy are you using me?â
â⦠⦠.â
âfor a moment. Just stop saying Iâm the right person for the situation. I know there are many options besides me when it comes to song quality or publicity.â
Right now, starting with the method of recording before enlistment, Ju Dan discovered songs late, and male soloists who are good at singing are the norm.
âThereâs also a way to fill it up with arrangements.â
But why did they bother to use male idols from the first group of their rivals?
âThere is a reason why you should use me as a feature.â
âthatâs right.â
â⦠!â
Cheong-rye clearly affirmed.
and laughed out loud
âCan you guess?â
Should I kill
âOh, did I get it right? My junior also asked if I could get it right. Itâs okay if you donât know.â
You heard the information and I have to guess, but I donât know where the same âgetâ it.
âLooks like I lose when Iâm pissed off.â
So I just said it.
âIâm not a mind reader, so how can I know what youâre thinking?â
âhmm.â
âBut I can put myself in perspective.â
On the contrary.
âWhat if I was Chung Ryeo and had to use Moon Dae Park as a featuring?â
How can you benefit from using the same male idol competitor as a feature?
âWhat would you do if you had to use me?â
Then you quickly realize
âWhatever you do, take a loss on the cost. Itâs controversial, so you have to defend it.â
Rumors of a fandom split fight.
From there, public opinion will fight and emotions will be hurt, but a great plan was needed to defend it.
The time, money and manpower to create that project?
It would be much more profitable to turn that into an album promotion.
Then what should I do?
âtherefore⦠I think about whether I can somehow prevent the controversy in advance.â
There is only one way.
âIf we were the same company, there would be no controversy.â
â⦠!â
Yes.
Seniors and juniors within the same company are inherently more free in featuring.
It means that the range of âunderstandingâ that fans ideologically is a little wider.
In other words, if Testaâs agency âOrbit Stars Entertainmentâ is completely LeTiâs affiliate⦠that it is
If youâve come this far, you can infer the reason for this guyâs proposal in reverse.
creating an atmosphere.
âBy putting my name in your activities⦠Conversely, are you trying to show more clearly that our company rode the LeTi line?â
⦠However, it is like this.
-?? What is it? Park Moon â
dae -Ah,
itâs
from Testaâs Letty side
.
And laughed.
âYou got it right.â
â⦠⦠.â
âAs you already know, LeTi is also investing in the platform business. Kind of like online concert broadcasting fan social media.â
Cheong-rye touched her cup of Americano and continued.
âAnd the importance of platforms in this industry is⦠Um, juniors must have felt it too.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSo in the long run. Right now, I need to raise Imageâs weight class a bit more.â
This guy is in fact taking control of his own agency called LeTi.
Thatâs why they can boldly invest in their albums to further develop the companyâs business.
âFor the long-term existence of the group.â
Because you can do whatever you want with your company!
âCrazy guy.â
âSo you want to show off your influence on our company a bit more?â
âhmm? Show off. Isnât it realistic? Half of the investment wouldnât have disappeared, junior.â
Cheong-rye stared blankly at me.
âand⦠If you are a junior, you would know.â
what.
âThis is not a one-sided proposition that only benefits LeTi.â
â⦠⦠.â
I cool off the heat of the accident circuit for a while.
Then, calmly started counting again.
âThe benefit of Testa.â
â⦠Make up for the bad relationship with T1 with LeTiâs platform?â
âI know.â
Even so, itâs obvious that Iâll be pushed back by you and kept in check, but what?
Besides, is it still comparable to the platform of a major broadcaster like T1?
âBut itâs not bad to show you riding the line to some extent in the current situation⦠.â
I hid my complicated feelings and answered like a knife.
âItâs a rationalization level. As expected, LeTi is an advantage.â
âI thought you would think that way, so I prepared other rewards, right?â
⦠Cha Yoo-jinâs escape from the dorm.
âhmm.â
I crossed my arms.
The sound of the scales coming and going seemed to be heard in his ears.
It was natural. Itâs not a matter of friendship.
It was then.
Cheongryeo opened her mouth softly again.
âI want to make one thing clear.â
â⦠⦠.â
âI have no intention of doing anything to harm Testa. only⦠.â
Cheong-rye smiled.
âBecause I intend to do everything that I can achieve in the given situation.â
â⦠⦠.â
âYour junior is like that too.â
I realized who he was talking about, even though he didnât bother to name it.
â Ether.
against that rookie.
â⦠⦠.â
âA strategic alliance in that sense.â
Cheong-ryeo held out her hand.
âhow is it.â
â⦠⦠.â
I let out a short sigh.
and asked
âWhat is the deadline?â
âthis year.â
The answer came right away.
I shook hands on the table without any fuss.
âOf course, this is my independent judgment, and if it is rejected at the group level after going back and discussing it, it will be over.â
âis it so.â
Itâs a puck or something.
âAnd one more.â
I corrected my posture.
âYou know, of course, but featuring in the title song is irrational.â
âhmm?â
âNo matter what, just do the b-side songs or the 2nd sub song.â
â⦠⦠.â
This was a natural and commonsense recommendation. Well, it would have been if I hadnât said it.
However, Chung-rye paused for a moment and then smiled faintly.
âThere seems to be a misunderstanding.â
uh?
âI never said I needed a junior featuring on my solo album. You said you needed it for âthe song you want to useâ.â
â⦠⦠.â
âDonât worry. It wonât be a problem for either side.â
â⦠⦠.â
Come on X feet.
yeah i overestimated it
âThat bastard is not a bastard to lose in his album⦠.â
In the future, letâs worry about my stamina while taking care of my nails as much as I care about his career.
I gulped down the melted ice and roughly stroked the dogâs scruff. The sound of the dog panting was deafening.
The guy on the other side opened his mouth again.
âOh and the mouseâ
You are just fine.
âI was going to say it anyway.â
âYou donât have to tell me that.â
â⦠?â
âI will take care of it.â
I laughed heartily.
It was because he knew that even this guy would not be able to fight easily if he had come this far and got on the flow.
âIâd like to make another condition instead.â
As I came to the appointment and during the conversation, I talked about the conditions that gradually materialized.
Cheong-Ryeo, who was listening, gradually changed her face.
âhaha!â
I laughed.
âYour junior is really greedy.â
will you do it alone
I gave the dog a head shake once again and threw the ball back.
âDo you want to cancel?â
âno.â
He stopped laughing and nodded.
âis it so. I will.â
I thought so.
I ended the conversation with him just like that. And in the summer morning sky⦠.
[brother! Do you have any business? I havenât been able to contact you lately⦠.]
Hmm? A pop-up appeared.
âOh big moon.â
Itâs been a while since Iâve been in touch.
For a while, there was a fuss over Cha Yu-jin, so he didnât contact me, so he seemed worried.
I tried to contact you again, but it just went well.
After explaining some background, I simply declared the current situation.
âThe system upload has already been completed.â
[Huh?]
âSome new pop-ups keep popping up. Thereâs also a survey.â
[â¦] A survey?]
Yes, I am embarrassed too.
âSince weâre outside, go back and talk in detail⦠.â
It was then.
âUm, junior.â
What.
But while he hadnât responded yet, the feminine voice was heard again.
Including things you couldnât have imagined.
âA survey?â
â⦠!!â
what?
I turned my head toward Cheongnyeo as if my neck would break.
Heâs exactly me⦠no.
I was looking at the empty space in front of my eyes.
where the pop-up window is.
â⦠⦠.â
no way.
âCan you see it?â
âyes.â
Cheongryeo raised her hand.
and⦠I stabbed the pop-up with my index finger.
âIt looks good.â
[Aaaaaaaagh!]
⦠like that.
An unwanted status window counselor was added.
