Debut or Die

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 566

I made a declaration.

“… So I quickly summoned testers.”

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 ‘??’ written on their faces.

“suddenly… ?”

“hmm. Would you like to go on a trip?”

no.

“It’s about the album.”

At that moment, the expression of ‘Okay so’ passed across everyone’s faces.

Still, in that they don’t get angry, it’s 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.

“… wait for a sec. We already have plans for the album.”

“I know. The schedule should be early next year.”

Yes. In fact, Testa’s next album was already in progress.

It’s because the previous title ‘Hunting’ was not a regular album, but a mini album, so it’s time to pick a regular one.

I dropped it in the early and mid-next year.

‘Of course, it’s normal not to go this far.’

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.

‘The company doesn’t invest.’

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.

That’s why the producing staff with proven planning skills are all taken out for the development of newcomers, and so on.

In fact, didn’t we almost get beaten when we were in T1?

‘Of course, there’s no such thing as we’re sharing the shares in this company right now.’

Also, money is the best. It’s hearty like soup.

Anyway, I nodded and opened my mouth.

The album comes out next year. but.

“But before that, there is something I want to do.”

Suddenly, some of the members swallowed saliva.

‘… ?’

What.

“… Do you think there will be some kind of controversy!?”

“Gosh… … Can’t we get the grand prize?”

“… … .”

Even Seon Ah-hyun nodded at me with a serious face.

“It’s nothing. If you run into a problem… I want you to talk about it together first before responding.”

“… … .”

Is this karma or something?

So far, if I’ve given any opinion, it’s connected to the politics of escaping from the crisis. understood.

But this time it’s different.

I rubbed my cheeks.

“Actually, this… It is not an opinion based on grades or target numbers like before.”

“… … ?”

“I’ve been doing it every time, so I want to try something different this time.”

Sejin, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“What if something else?”

“I just thought it would be nice if we did what we wanted to do.”

“… !”

“Without any other calculation.”

It’s because there is something I realized after going through a recent incident.

‘It’s true that the members of this group got together incredibly well.’

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, isn’t it common for even guys like that to burn out at least once when they’re active and say, ‘I’m not going to do that’.

‘No matter how nice a guy is, if he continues to do the same thing, he can’t help but feel skeptical.’

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.

‘But Testa is doing that now.’

… … 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.

‘It’s because I kept almost dying.’

From car accidents to being trapped in time-shifted virtual worlds and even collapsing buildings.

At this point, wouldn’t activities in the entertainment industry be like a sweet drink? Now that I’m dead and alive, I’m on the verge of such an illusion.

It’s funny how there’s something good about such a bizarre experience, but… … .

‘But that’s over now.’

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.

“I hope you don’t go too analytically and only try activities that are ‘to your liking’.”

“… … .”

“That’s it. Of course, if you object, I will surrender.”

Perhaps he hadn’t expected such words to come out, and both of them were silent for a while.

okay. I knew it wasn’t a very fitting word for me to say. I have to bring out all the words I have prepared and really persuade them… … .

“okay. Sounds like a fun job!”

no i will cancel One guy immediately jumped out with a hand. It was Rabin Kim.

As expected, he’s like a ignorant guy… … .

‘for a moment.’

I looked at the guy’s expression again.

Kim Rae-bin had a slightly blushing expression on his face.

It was a common gesture when I risked some embarrassment.

“… … .”

okay. Everyone keeps their mouths shut, but there’s no way I’m not noticing it.

I just quickly replied that I would support my opinion.

‘… A naive guy.’

However, the unexpected did not end there.

“Oh Kim Raebin is fast! I like it too. We don’t have weird tastes. are you okay.”

“… It’s not like that. There won’t be anything you can’t use.”

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.

“For once, I only followed my heart… I want to try it together… ! I don’t know how to talk about this so my reply is a little late. It’s Moondae.”

“I know. It’s a bit strange, but… I think it’s rather good that you said you’d try this.”

“… … thank you.”

Once the answer started coming out, opinions gathered in an instant.

I was a bit perplexed.

‘… … I thought I’d have to convince them.’

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.

“So am I~ Honestly, I didn’t expect the world’s top Mundae Park to say such a thing.”

hey.

‘You have a different nuance.’

However, Sejin also shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth with a smile.

“Well, I still believe that Mundae won’t do anything to harm the group.”

“… !”

“Yes?”

Suddenly I looked around.

All of them seemed to have no objection to Sejin’s words.

Seeing Cha Yoo-jin shouting ‘Yes’ with a sad face, I can be sure.

‘ah.’

Right.

And I realized

I don’t know anything else, but one belief is that I won’t make a choice that will adversely affect this group… It seems to have built up well so far.

“Isn’t that right, Mundaemundae?”

“… … of course.”

… Thank you very much.

When I was a little bit inspired like that, Keun Se-jin smiled and continued.

“I’m going to try it once without regret.”

“okay.”

“what. If you don’t receive the Order of Cultural Merit anyway, everyone knows that Sejin-hyung will be enlisting in the army next year, right?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“So let’s do it without regret before then.”

Bae Se-jin nodded with a blank expression. I touched my forehead.

‘Looks like he wanted to oppose it.’

Keun Se-jin smiled sadly when he said very well, ‘First of all, everyone reacts well and you do a good job, so I try it, but at this point, you know that activities that don’t produce grades are meaningless.

What’s surprising, though, is that he didn’t actually oppose it until the end.

That made me think a lot.

“good. Then, if the company says it can afford it, let’s do it.”

“yes!”

Liu Qingyu’s 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.

“Let’s hit everything we want to do.”

* * *

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 don’t 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.

– Happy New Year~ My favorite month of January~

– Oh, isn’t AAB Testa coming out this time? Okay bye…

Anyone can see that it was unreasonable to create new content in parallel with this situation. And no one is thirsty for content.

‘It hasn’t been long since I made a comeback, what!’

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-dae’s 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 ‘Epic’ Official MV]

“… Epic?”

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 ‘precious item’… … .

‘hmm. It’s like a testa.’

It seemed that something strong and conceptual like Testa had come out again.

‘Come to think of it, suddenly appearing is like a testa.’

It has become very traditional now.

Homma thought so, but closed her eyes for a moment.

‘Mundae, if there’s a lot of content, it’s good for me… You can save good things.’

It’s for the rice cake off-season.

‘If the distribution is wrong, only topicality may decrease… … .’

However, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity about what was already out, so of course she had already pressed play.

‘It’s not a regular album, it’s like a pre-release or something like a collaboration.’

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-wu’s 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.

‘hmm?’

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.

“uh… … .”

Homema admitted. The conceptual seems correct.

‘Now, when it comes to strong songs… .’

However, the accompaniment that started to spread was a bright and cheerful sound that was pleasant to listen to.

Classic guitar sound.

“… !!”

Rather than being soft, the throbbing country-style sound looks like it’s beating.

In the middle, the drums come in with a bang.

With Liu Cheng-wu’s 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 ‘reminiscing’, but he noticed the first homma.

that they are already familiar images.

“… … !”

These are the retro-edited MV cuts of < Arrival > and .

With the last reminiscence of Cha Yu-jin’s 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]

“… !!”

At that moment, Homma realized.

‘this… < Coming > Liu Cheng-wu!’

Yes.

Ryu Chung-wu on the screen was a man on a high-want notice in < Arena > who realized that he was a monster through the storyline of < Arrival >.

-I’m in charge… A monster friend.

-I’d like to know a little bit about what this friend would have done since then.

Options reflecting Ryu Chung-woo’s ‘what he wants to do’ 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 “The Yo-kai”, who was converted by Cha Yu-jin and became a citizen, he was leaving for a new unknown land.
