Chapter 566
Debut or Die
If you canât debut, youâll get a fatal disease Episode 566
I made a declaration.
â⦠So I quickly summoned testers.â
mate mate mate⦠.
Kim Rae-bin was clapping alone, but noticed and stopped.
All the other members are sitting at the kitchen table with expressions like â??â written on their faces.
âsuddenly⦠?â
âhmm. Would you like to go on a trip?â
no.
âItâs about the album.â
At that moment, the expression of âOkay soâ passed across everyoneâs faces.
Still, in that they donât get angry, itâs like a group of workaholics. I nodded my head in satisfaction.
For reference, the members reacted after using their heads following this spinal cord reflex.
â⦠wait for a sec. We already have plans for the album.â
âI know. The schedule should be early next year.â
Yes. In fact, Testaâs next album was already in progress.
Itâs because the previous title âHuntingâ was not a regular album, but a mini album, so itâs time to pick a regular one.
I dropped it in the early and mid-next year.
âOf course, itâs normal not to go this far.â
There are many cases where I wonder whether or not to make a comeback once a year in order to minimize image consumption when this year comes around.
what⦠⦠In fact, image consumption is not the only problem.
âThe company doesnât invest.â
You no longer have to be as aggressive as you need to grow your group. This is because a successful group can spend their time leisurely eating away at the reputation and fan base they have already built up.
Thatâs why the producing staff with proven planning skills are all taken out for the development of newcomers, and so on.
In fact, didnât we almost get beaten when we were in T1?
âOf course, thereâs no such thing as weâre sharing the shares in this company right now.â
Also, money is the best. Itâs hearty like soup.
Anyway, I nodded and opened my mouth.
The album comes out next year. but.
âBut before that, there is something I want to do.â
Suddenly, some of the members swallowed saliva.
â⦠?â
What.
â⦠Do you think there will be some kind of controversy!?â
âGosh⦠⦠Canât we get the grand prize?â
â⦠⦠.â
Even Seon Ah-hyun nodded at me with a serious face.
âItâs nothing. If you run into a problem⦠I want you to talk about it together first before responding.â
â⦠⦠.â
Is this karma or something?
So far, if Iâve given any opinion, itâs connected to the politics of escaping from the crisis. understood.
But this time itâs different.
I rubbed my cheeks.
âActually, this⦠It is not an opinion based on grades or target numbers like before.â
â⦠⦠?â
âIâve been doing it every time, so I want to try something different this time.â
Sejin, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
âWhat if something else?â
âI just thought it would be nice if we did what we wanted to do.â
â⦠!â
âWithout any other calculation.â
Itâs because there is something I realized after going through a recent incident.
âItâs true that the members of this group got together incredibly well.â
It would be rare to find a team where everyone is passionate about group activities and people with unique personalities stick together every day and still get along well.
But to be honest, isnât it common for even guys like that to burn out at least once when theyâre active and say, âIâm not going to do thatâ.
âNo matter how nice a guy is, if he continues to do the same thing, he canât help but feel skeptical.â
I went to the same job for 7 years, but my passion for work always burns and I always feel like it? It should be suspected that the drug was taken.
âBut Testa is doing that now.â
⦠⦠And I think that there is no guy who shows his skepticism about work to the outside even for a moment⦠⦠There are other stimuli.
Simple.
âItâs because I kept almost dying.â
From car accidents to being trapped in time-shifted virtual worlds and even collapsing buildings.
At this point, wouldnât activities in the entertainment industry be like a sweet drink? Now that Iâm dead and alive, Iâm on the verge of such an illusion.
Itâs funny how thereâs something good about such a bizarre experience, but⦠⦠.
âBut thatâs over now.â
Now that the system is gone, the most upsetting and sweaty situations we will ever encounter will come out of activity.
Before that, I thought it would be good to have time to organize my mind.
âI hope you donât go too analytically and only try activities that are âto your likingâ.â
â⦠⦠.â
âThatâs it. Of course, if you object, I will surrender.â
Perhaps he hadnât expected such words to come out, and both of them were silent for a while.
okay. I knew it wasnât a very fitting word for me to say. I have to bring out all the words I have prepared and really persuade them⦠⦠.
âokay. Sounds like a fun job!â
no i will cancel One guy immediately jumped out with a hand. It was Rabin Kim.
As expected, heâs like a ignorant guy⦠⦠.
âfor a moment.â
I looked at the guyâs expression again.
Kim Rae-bin had a slightly blushing expression on his face.
It was a common gesture when I risked some embarrassment.
â⦠⦠.â
okay. Everyone keeps their mouths shut, but thereâs no way Iâm not noticing it.
I just quickly replied that I would support my opinion.
â⦠A naive guy.â
However, the unexpected did not end there.
âOh Kim Raebin is fast! I like it too. We donât have weird tastes. are you okay.â
â⦠Itâs not like that. There wonât be anything you canât use.â
Following Cha Yu-jin, Bae Se-jin also reacted in an attractive way after thinking about it, and the atmosphere naturally rose.
Even the guys who say strange things.
âFor once, I only followed my heart⦠I want to try it together⦠! I donât know how to talk about this so my reply is a little late. Itâs Moondae.â
âI know. Itâs a bit strange, but⦠I think itâs rather good that you said youâd try this.â
â⦠⦠thank you.â
Once the answer started coming out, opinions gathered in an instant.
I was a bit perplexed.
â⦠⦠I thought Iâd have to convince them.â
It was just a while ago that I almost became X alone.
If he suddenly behaved unexpectedly like this, he naturally knew that he would have to persuade the more suspicious guys through various logics.
And the big Sejin also smiled and opened his mouth.
âSo am I~ Honestly, I didnât expect the worldâs top Mundae Park to say such a thing.â
hey.
âYou have a different nuance.â
However, Sejin also shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth with a smile.
âWell, I still believe that Mundae wonât do anything to harm the group.â
â⦠!â
âYes?â
Suddenly I looked around.
All of them seemed to have no objection to Sejinâs words.
Seeing Cha Yoo-jin shouting âYesâ with a sad face, I can be sure.
âah.â
Right.
And I realized
I donât know anything else, but one belief is that I wonât make a choice that will adversely affect this group⦠It seems to have built up well so far.
âIsnât that right, Mundaemundae?â
â⦠⦠of course.â
⦠Thank you very much.
When I was a little bit inspired like that, Keun Se-jin smiled and continued.
âIâm going to try it once without regret.â
âokay.â
âwhat. If you donât receive the Order of Cultural Merit anyway, everyone knows that Sejin-hyung will be enlisting in the army next year, right?â
â⦠⦠.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSo letâs do it without regret before then.â
Bae Se-jin nodded with a blank expression. I touched my forehead.
âLooks like he wanted to oppose it.â
Keun Se-jin smiled sadly when he said very well, âFirst of all, everyone reacts well and you do a good job, so I try it, but at this point, you know that activities that donât produce grades are meaningless.
Whatâs surprising, though, is that he didnât actually oppose it until the end.
That made me think a lot.
âgood. Then, if the company says it can afford it, letâs do it.â
âyes!â
Liu Qingyuâs words concluded.
I looked around.
The friendly gazes I had grown accustomed to by now were looking at me.
These guys⦠There is a corner that unnecessarily excites people.
So I declared more cheerfully than I expected.
âLetâs hit everything we want to do.â
* * *
Everyone is busy at the beginning of the year.
Of course, Testa was also busy attending music programs and award ceremonies while running around.
-Rabbin Kim intro ripped (Rabbit Hall performance video)
-Lemon Music Award Park Moon-dae (1) (photo)
-Look at how T1 guys donât sing Testa far and wide
. Content poured out every week as if watching and grinding .
New remix stage, fresh solo intro and performance! People were amused.
As usual, Testa seemed to have prepared special stages with gnashing of teeth, and that alone made her full.
â Happy New Year~ My favorite month of January~
â Oh, isnât AAB Testa coming out this time? Okay byeâ¦
Anyone can see that it was unreasonable to create new content in parallel with this situation. And no one is thirsty for content.
âIt hasnât been long since I made a comeback, what!â
There was no demand or expectation from the fans.
that was the situation.
One day while watching the testa at the awards ceremony and making a lot of noise, a music video suddenly popped out without warning.
-Eh, what happened!!
In response to a contact from a graduate student friend, Park Moon-daeâs first home horse, who hurriedly looked at his smartphone after leaving the photo he was editing, blinked his eyes.
Something really popped up in the notifications.
[TeSTAR âEpicâ Official MV]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â⦠Epic?â
It was a term that seemed to be attached to a hip-hop survival or mobile game item.
Considering that the former is usually used to express a strong and unique self, and the latter is used to reinforce the concept of a âprecious itemâ⦠⦠.
âhmm. Itâs like a testa.â
It seemed that something strong and conceptual like Testa had come out again.
âCome to think of it, suddenly appearing is like a testa.â
It has become very traditional now.
Homma thought so, but closed her eyes for a moment.
âMundae, if thereâs a lot of content, itâs good for me⦠You can save good things.â
Itâs for the rice cake off-season.
âIf the distribution is wrong, only topicality may decrease⦠⦠.â
However, she couldnât hold back her curiosity about what was already out, so of course she had already pressed play.
âItâs not a regular album, itâs like a pre-release or something like a collaboration.â
It was supposed to be revealed right now, as expected.
Tok.
The screen started with the clear sound of water.
The emotional video with a retro 4:3 aspect ratio started with a cut of Ryu Chung-wuâs upper body, as if he was asleep, leaning back on a chair.
The thin sunlight in the background is shining⦠It is a brown tent.
âhmm?â
Yes. Rather than modern camping, Ryu Cheong-wu was lying on a chair in a huge leather tent that might have been used in modern times.
âuh⦠⦠.â
Homema admitted. The conceptual seems correct.
âNow, when it comes to strong songs⦠.â
However, the accompaniment that started to spread was a bright and cheerful sound that was pleasant to listen to.
Classic guitar sound.
â⦠!!â
Rather than being soft, the throbbing country-style sound looks like itâs beating.
In the middle, the drums come in with a bang.
With Liu Cheng-wuâs talking vocals.
[The heavy yesterday
seemed like it would never end, and
the perfect today
never came.]
And on the screen, I get up from my chair and look at my desk.
A single piece of paper is fixed to the board above which maps and telescopes inkwells books and lamps are scattered.
-Certificate of citizenship
and flashback cuts that pass quickly to the rhythm.
A book recording the shooting arrow monster A wanted newspaper with a red-haired figure hanging from a running steam locomotive train⦠⦠.
It was just a flow that seemed to indicate that he was âreminiscingâ, but he noticed the first homma.
that they are already familiar images.
â⦠⦠!â
These are the retro-edited MV cuts of and .
With the last reminiscence of Cha Yu-jinâs outstretched hand, the screen again reflects Ryu Cheng-wu, who is smiling quietly.
[Yes,
even if there is no perfection,
the end of yesterday and the beginning of today]
â⦠!!â
At that moment, Homma realized.
âthis⦠Liu Cheng-wu!â
Yes.
Ryu Chung-wu on the screen was a man on a high-want notice in who realized that he was a monster through the storyline of .
-Iâm in charge⦠A monster friend.
-Iâd like to know a little bit about what this friend would have done since then.
Options reflecting Ryu Chung-wooâs âwhat he wants to doâ were unfolding on the screen.
[Stepping onto a new land,
no excuses or hesitation]
Tent telescope map.
Liu Chengwu walks out of the tent.
At the end of âThe Yo-kaiâ, who was converted by Cha Yu-jin and became a citizen, he was leaving for a new unknown land.
