Chapter 571
Debut or Die
If you canât debut, youâll die from an illness Episode 571
Itâs no different from everyday life that Testa holds a meeting every time something happens and tries to solve it.
Now, it means that all the members are skilled enough not to be surprised when something happens.
âyes? Oh meeting. yes.â
So, as soon as the schedule was over, we calmly gathered in the living room without anyone panicking about the meeting or asking questions.
Although there were times when Keun Se-jin looked at people as if they were a little admirable.
âIs that why Moondaemundaeâs face was so bad? But Iâll tell you right now.â
If you know, letâs move on quickly.
⦠Being calm doesnât mean that you canât accept the seriousness.
After hearing the full story of the incident, their faces soon became serious.
â⦠hmm. so⦠⦠The downtrend image is the problem.â
âokay.â
No matter what you choose from your next album, your fandom and popularity will suffer.
It could be a signal flare of an out of control downward flow.
Kim Rae-binâs face darkened.
âBecause I lack skills⦠.â
âNo, absolutely not.â
When I heard about the album, I knew this guy would do this.
Kim Rae-binâs dark expression disappeared only after he heard the explanation in detail, âIt was rather twisted because it worked well.â
Instead, he thought deeply and finally said:n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThere is a saying that extremely well-made things are beyond taste! If so, I will work harder and write a new song that can satisfy both the public and lovers!â
âOh, heâs like this again.â
âKim Raebin is an idiot.â
â⦠?!â
I put both hands on Kim Rae-binâs shoulders.
âListen, Rabin.â
âyes!â
âYou are a genius.â
â⦠!?â
âAnd your songs were always so good that it was nonsensical.â
Except for a few slumps, he was a crazy talent with no weaknesses in terms of quality and speed.
âHonestly, without this guy, the work would have been several times more difficult.â
It means that the songs made by Raebin Kim so far have not been of a lower level.
âHowever, a good song does not necessarily become a mega hit. Itâs a matter of timing or luck.â
âthat⦠⦠.â
âWell, what you said is 100% right! Even if this isnât necessarily a song, itâs a word that goes universally in many places~ right bro?â
âuh?â
Bae Se-jin seemed a little taken aback by Se-jinâs words, but soon nodded calmly.
â⦠thatâs right. There is a movie that I enjoyed the most among the ones I appeared in when I was young, but it didnât do well at the box office.â
âah⦠⦠.â
âSo it wouldnât be possible to make something like that artificially.â
Rabin Kim nodded slightly.
Yes.
No matter how well you make it and how hard you put in the promotion, a trend that satisfies everyone cannot be deliberately produced.
âItâs best to set a target group and catch them.â
Then, sometimes luck and timing are right and everyone likes it.
Cha Yoo-jin, who was listening to the story, shrugged.
âI donât know. Why do you only make one song? Why canât we make both?â
âhuh?â
âWe can do both difficult and easy things Double title!â
âah.â
double title.
Itâs not about making one perfect song that satisfies everyone, itâs about diversifying investments and targeting both the public and the fandom.
The reason this doesnât happen is simple.
âThere is no time.â
To make it a double title, just think of it as doubling what weâre doing now.
âNo, itâs added unilaterally, so if you think about adjusting the schedule, it will cost more than twice as much.â
The choreography, costume and concept music video should be filmed one more time to achieve perfection that does not create a sense of incongruity with other double titles.
Then what will happen?
âWith a double title, you might have to release your next album later than scheduled, let alone release it sooner.â
In the end, the leak of the fandom is left unattended for a longer period of time.
The premise itself of âacting quickly to prevent the fandom from escapingâ is inconsistent.
Of course, I could have tried to meet the deadline somehow.
âYou work a lot fast! Weâre all hard-working people.â
Itâs changing our bodies.
To be honest, I am a person who is attracted to this word.
but⦠.
âThen, if you go to the goal due to overwork, who will be responsible?â
It will be more work intensity than anything youâve ever experienced.
The schedule isnât easy right now, but if I put in double the work here, I didnât know if a guy who really collapsed would come out.
âI canât do that.â
⦠In the long run, the health of this group will also need to be taken care of.
From the other side of the hill, Liu Qingyu could be seen smiling slightly.
Are you proud? okay. what⦠Itâs good.
Cha Yoo-jin also nodded softly, as if he had accepted⦠⦠.
âOK. Consider your age.â
â⦠⦠.â
Sejin Bae opened his mouth.
âyou⦠I wonât bring candy from now on.â
âWhat?!â
While ignoring Cha Yoo-jin, who was shocked by the fact that she could no longer suck on the handmade candy sent by Bae Se-jinâs mother, the members fell into their own troubles.
âthen⦠Should I leave it to chance?â
The guyâs face didnât like it, probably because it was an overly defeatist idea for Sejin to accept.
And the faces of the other members were also a little shaken. Itâs because Iâve never heard a comfortable sound like âletâs leave it to luckâ until now.
Meanwhile, Seon Ah-hyun raised her hand slightly.
âIâd rather⦠How about explaining this activity directly to the fans?â
âhmm?â
âW app or⦠You can also post a letter on social media.â
Sun Ah-hyunâs proposal was, in the end, this.
-It wasnât made by each of us! I also caught the activity in a hurry!
-If you thought that we would go less vigorously because our passion has cooled, you are all wrong!
Letâs break this down and be honest.
What process did we go through to get this done in two weeks, and how did we rush to prepare for promotions after this song suddenly went well?
It is to carefully explain and convince the fans.
âIf you tell me what process we went through and how we worked like this⦠I thought you would be relieved.â
âAnd are we preparing for the album step by step according to schedule?â
âyes⦠!â
Seon Ah-hyunâs words were straight forward.
There were problems, though.
I rubbed my chin.
âI donât think you can believe it.â
If I did it right now, it seemed desperate, so it was counterproductive. If you think that these guys are trying to explain because they are scared, your credibility will fall and your image will suffer.
-Stop it⦠Itâs too late to make excuses,
so the empathy level is coming
. Itâs a little embarrassing. I just had to bring the next album, but
â¦
It was difficult.
Now is the time to choose everything carefully and restore the image well.
And there was no need to cruelly explain this.
âHmm, to be honest, I want to follow Ahyeonâs opinion, but⦠. If you want to speak naturally, you have to do it in passing, right? Then I donât think it will get much attention.â
âah⦠!â
âOf course, those who listen will be able to convince them, but we are perfect for more people now! I have to make an impression.â
The big Sejin passed the words skillfully. Sun Ah-hyun nodded her head firmly with an understanding face.
âYes. Then, after all, itâs better to show it with clear actions⦠!â
âyes.â
however⦠I still donât know how to release this guyâs album.
â⦠I canât even postpone the album at all. hmm. I have to reassure the fans.â
âHmm.â
Whether the album was released or delayed, no matter which concept was chosen, risks and losses were unavoidable.
There was a brief silence between the men clutching their heads.
And Bae Se-jin clenched his fist.
âHow about just ignoring everything and preparing hard? This⦠Itâs not about taking chances, itâs about just trusting the way we used to.â
âbrother⦠⦠.â
At Bae Se-jinâs words, Kim Rae-bin blinked as if he was slightly moved.
And the big Sejin also looked at the guy with melancholy eyes.
âThat sounds great, but⦠Isnât this the way weâve been doing so far? Strategize hard.â
â⦠⦠uh?â
that⦠yes.
âHyung, this attitude of trying to analyze the situation fiercely and respond! Wouldnât this be my best testa?â
âthat⦠Hmm, it seems like that.â
Bae Se-jin looked a bit dazed, but eventually nodded.
Persuasion was successful among people with the same name who were not compatible. It was a rare scene.
âAnd more and more, the industry stimulates peopleâs interest in more stimulating ways. Same with Haloheim this time.â
âHalo Heim?â
âItâs a group that writes love reality as its own content, and itâs number one on the music chart right now.â
âwhat?â
Big Sejin explained what bizarre marketing methods the mixed group used.
And he said in a firm voice to the astonished Bae Se-jin, âWhy are entertainment agencies becoming more and more immoral like this?â
âOur competitor is risking his life on marketing like that.â
â⦠⦠.â
âWell, it could be that we were walking alone on a well-made single road, and then one day people recognized us and we ran in the opposite direction⦠Itâs too precious for that. This is our environment now.â
At those serious words, some guys nodded their heads.
âI see what you mean.â
Bae Se-jin also became serious.
It was to shake my head.
âBut I donât want to promote our album that way.â
I thought we agreed, but we donât.
Even Seon Ah-hyun opened her mouth with a somewhat firm face.
âI⦠me too.â
â⦠⦠.â
âI canât help it if I have to, but⦠⦠It seems a bit strange. It feels like cheating the fans.â
â⦠okay.â
Sejin Keun did not insist further and skillfully took out his opinion.
âIn the first place, we didnât mean to use it that way either. Letâs consider using a somewhat bizarre and stimulating method.â
âYes.â
â⦠⦠okay. know.â
Bae Se-jin also nodded.
Now, it might be hard to see those two fighting like dogs while shouting âwhy do you have that way of thinking?â.
That was a good thing.
âYeah but⦠.â
The purpose of the meeting remains unfulfilled.
No matter how much I proceeded, no sharp numbers came out.
I rubbed my chin.
No matter what you do, itâs either one or the other, and no matter how you release an album, you lose⦠⦠.
â⦠⦠.â
wait for a sec.
âalbum?â
I felt sparks flickering in my head.
âWhy did you only think of it as an album?â
âuh?â
âIt doesnât have to be an album.â
Yes.
From activities to the next regular album.
Since the cause and process of all these things are related to the active period, I naturally thought of only the album that made the active period as a countermeasure.
But in fact, itâs not just activities that Testa can show something with an album and make a comeback.
âHow many large-scale contents have we made other than albums so far?â
In-house content, concert tour, and even a collaboration game.
Big Sejin snapped his fingers.
âOh yes! We can show a new and intense stage in the content that fans watch a lot!â
â⦠!â
The atmosphere of the meeting changed in response.
âThatâs right! If you make it well, all the fans will see it⦠⦠.â
âOhhhhhh!â
âBut isnât it a bit more informal than an album?â
âThatâs the best part.â
I grinned.
âIt has nothing to do with sexuality.â
â⦠!!â
An indicator that attracts attention well is that you can do as strong a concept as you want without considering the music rankings or album sales.
âIn the first place, it is the content that fans mainly watch. The general public doesnât care as much.â
Maybe Testa passed by without even knowing it came out like that.
There is no reason to be disappointed that it is not an easy-listening song that the public is currently expecting, and there is nothing to compare it to Epicâs digital music rankings!
â⦠And, by any chance, it was good enough to become a hot topic even if it received attention from the public?â
âYes.â
this is the correct answer
When I was able to answer all the questions, my head was spinning.
I turned my gaze to the group leader with an adrenaline rush.
Ryu Cheng-wu opened his mouth.
âWhat is the content closest to our schedule?â
***
After some time.
At the end of the broadcasting of the programs Testa filmed as activities, a video was uploaded to their official WeTube.
But this time no one was surprised.
[202X TeSTAR âHUNT or BE HUNTEDâ WORLD TOUR TRAILER]
This was because the fans already knew all about it.
Testaâs tour resumes.
-The kidsâ tour is starting again
. Since itâs a FMO video
â Eng Tour has a new sub too Hunt All Be Hunted?
Fans clicked on the video, puzzled by the details.
I guessed that it was released now because the schedule was pushed back.
[Hello.]
The video, as always, was gorgeous.
The previous title song was arranged somewhat elegantly and more intensely, and while passing by, a few props from a classic hotel passed by.
Golden doorbell ornate lobby metal key vintage telephone.
âIs old travel a concept?â
And a close-up of the black and white upper body of the members wearing suits interspersed!
However, because the face was shaded, the face could not be seen properly.
â⦠⦠.â
There wasnât enough stimulation.
âThereâs nothing really new.â
The 32-second video was just a formal introduction to the tour trailer concept.
But the last 5 seconds.
It was the moment when the beautiful exterior of the hotel was illuminated and the title âHUNT or BE HUNTEDâ popped up in line with the final melody of the arranged .
Suddenly, a soft color appeared in the building, and BGM arranged in a classical style began to flow.
â⦠⦠?â
and.
[- > Enters the hotel.]
[- > Leaves.]
â⦠⦠!â
options popped up.
