Episode 261 of "Disease of Death" if you can't debut

As soon as the live broadcast was over, I called the company and talked to the management office's on-call.

I'm going to release it at the same time as Young-rin.

And the company is said to have gone awry. It was worth it. To summarize Young-rin's recent grades, this is how it is.

"Third place on the biggest music site in Korea."

To provide comparative data, Testa's latest song, "Call," ranked 37th annually.

In addition, there are four songs by Young-rin in the top 50 in this annual chart. Two title songs, one OST, and one variety show collaboration song.

It was a disgrace to deceive.

"I can't beat you."

Not only is it medium-sized, but it also has a fairly solid fandom, so there is no place to dig in.

In short, the simultaneous release of the song... It was nothing short of an honorable death.

Of course, the company is not the only one who is overturned.

"With YOUNGLIN?"

"Yes."

"Ha...."

Even within the group, the first meeting of the new year was convened on its own.

The New Year was celebrated by setting things up, but in fact, it is not important compared to this situation.

I judged with perfect composure.

'You told me on purpose.'

It was impossible to change the date with four days left until the comeback.

Cheongnyangni told him to prepare his mind at least in a situation where it is impossible to take a big deal anyway.

If it's a favor, it can be seen as a favor, so there's no need for emotional exhaustion. From the perspective of competing in the first place, this is a little harsh, but the benefits are correct.

...Yes, I'm right to be mad.

"The door."

"Why?"

"Are you sure about that information? Where did you hear that?"

"VTIC told me."

Big Se-jin looked this way with mysterious eyes. To roughly interpret it, it is "Didn't you mean to screw you up?"

Yeah, I checked that out just in case.

I said this, throwing and hitting my smartphone.

"Just in case, I asked Young-rin herself. That's right."

"Whoa."

With less than four days left and the comeback period overlapping, Young-rin did not lie.

I was just curious.

- It hasn't been long since I made my decision, but it's amazing that Moondae knows.

I heard the staff say it, but they said they asked just in case.

The crew I work with will be under pressure, but compared to the current situation, there is no time to care about it.

"I'm going crazy."

I pressed my temples. Then, Cha Yu-jin raised her hand.

"Hey! I have a question!"

"Yes, tell me, Yujin."

"Why don't you promote with Young Rin?"

Ryu Chung-woo replied.

Young-rin has a strong image of trusting and listening. We're going to lose a lot on the music charts."

"I don't know before I do it! Try it!"

Yeah, I'm ambitious, but... This was a matter of atmosphere.

How much will the morale drop if it fails to reach the top of the real-time music charts even though it has completed its full-length album.

And Young-rin will have more users as time goes by, so this situation, which was just released a day after Young-rin's new song, was the worst.

Young-rin's new song release is at its peak.

"You can't get first place unless it's a site on the outskirts."

The regular record is about to collapse.

"......."

And Cha Yu-jin shrugged her shoulders when she saw the atmosphere of the members still in thought and thought.

"OK. It's okay if we don't win first place!" We're good. You just have to do a great performance!"

"...!"

"Let's win first place on the stage!"

It was a simple word. But the atmosphere was a bit evocative.

"Yeah, it's been a while since we released an album, so it's important to finish it well."

"E, That's right. Girl, I've been working hard on it. If you focus on showing good performance, wouldn't it be a fun activity??"

Yeah, that's a good idea, too.

It's just that... I like to win.

Let's think.

I tapped my finger on the living room floor.

"How to beat Young Rin on music charts?"

First of all, Young-rin is not promoting the song at all, and it was clear that there was little publicity in the industry.

Young-rin's own reaction and the company's reaction are the same.

"I'm still T1, but I know all the rumors about big singers' comeback."'

Young-rin himself said that it has only been a few days since it was confirmed as the new year, so in this case, Cheong-ryeo has a particularly good information power, and most of them do not know.

"Then for that, if Testa were to turn its popularity around to entertainment...".'

No, this is not it. Everything that will go out at the end of the year has already been released, and there are already enough entertainment programs that we caught at the beginning of the year. Increasing it further will only increase image consumption.

"Well."

I rubbed the back of my neck, and my eyes met with Kim Rap-in, who had a dark expression.

"...does it bother you a lot?"

"What? Oh, no!"

Yeah, you deserve more attention. You touched half of this album.

I was honestly embarrassed when I found out that I had worked with a reliable battery even when I was in a disaster on an uninhabited.

"I'm just... I'm a bit worried that there are many listeners who don't even try to listen to our song because Young-rin's new song is satisfied."

Yes, it means that there is a lot of worry that the sentence pours out like this just once.

And he was getting the point right.

"That's right. When a person with a strong popularity gets all the attention, it's easy for a person with a relatively stronger fandom than the public to become their own league."

It was an inevitable flow.

"......."

I pondered a little more, and finally opened my mouth.

"So first of all, I think we have to assume that we can't win no matter what we do on the music charts."

"...I suppose so."

"Hmm~"

"But I think we'll win first place on a music show."

Bae Se-jin, who had a serious face, was a little surprised.

"...how?"

"That's it. Young-rin only releases songs. We're an album." There's a record score

"Ah."

Yes, we're a regular in a long time, and Young-rin is just a surprise single for the New Year.

"The fans will try to raise the score and give you first place."'

Trophy is important.

Thank you and sorry, but the public response from this was not difficult to predict.

HJ: Honestly, Youngrin should have won first place, but she pushed it with her fans

-LOLSolo who didn't promote at all vs. a guy who's good at reading stories. Aren't you embarrassed?

-Testa~ -The fans worked hard

Wow, that's so distorted. In reality, everyone only listens to Young-rin's songs

It is time to raise the group's story for a long time with the first regular after the accident.

At a time when people watching the testa should be filled with mulberries, the only hurtful victory will cool down.

So eventually, there comes a line that cannot be backed down.

"Even if you give the song, you can't lose the topic."

It is necessary to maintain the perception that "it deserves to win first place" and the popular influence. This is the Maginot Line.

"The song is aimed at hitting the average based on losing, and somehow all-in-one to make it famous is... I'd like to make a suggestion."

"...!"

"Promotion, PR, Mention, Disclosure Order... Everything."

Extreme choice and concentration were needed.

I said, and each member seemed lost in thought.

And big Sejin raised his hand first.

"I agree. That's the most reasonable There's no other way."

"Yeah, strategy is important."

Kim also nodded.

"I believe that if our activities become popular, more and more people will try to listen to it late."

He is quite a firm fellow.

I smiled and nodded.

Bae Se-jin opened his mouth with a nervous face.

"So, do you have any thoughts on making this a hot topic?"

"We need to discuss more details, but... Shock is the answer."

This was right if Young-rin wanted to steal the topic of conversation that would be sucked in with a surprise announcement.

"Let's hit the back of the head first."

"...??"

The twist. The unexpected.

* * *

January 5th after the date.

The music video for Testa's new song was released smoothly at midnight on the day.

The title is "Wheel".

Turn the wheel

To fly far away

The melody echoes beautiful

Touch my heart, let it pop

The music video was beautiful.

an amusement park in the middle of the day when the sun breaks

The dreamy filter and the effect of overlapping time and space felt a mysterious atmosphere.

It once boasted excellent visual beauty in an old amusement park as beautiful as a novel, caught by a fixed camera.

And the uncomfortable unrealistic scenery, with another member on the front in the corner of the screen, saved the strange feeling.

-Dok-dok-dok-dok-dok-dok

a mixture of time and space

In front of the spinning golden ferris wheel, the boy standing with open arms and the blue sky.

Anyone could tell that it was a spiritual and authentic succession to his debut song, "Magic Boy." It is a trick that is filled with subtle emotions as it is faithful to the worldview.

It was just... a little boring.

The song is really good

- It's good to listen to in the new year

It feels like a carol and makes my heart flutter

Fans couldn't erase the sad feeling of being "bitten" while saying so.

Yesterday, the momentum of Young-rin's new song, which will be released suddenly, was enormous.

-Awesome. Young-rinLOL

What about my tester?

- So much fun (popcorn)

-Testa's song is... I express my condolences in advance... Too bad. I heard it's a full-length album

Fans were perplexed and shocked by the dry sky and the day before the comeback, saying, "What kind of smash is this?"

Among the goals, the music category was almost unachievable.

Why?

- We prepared it so well. - What's wrong with you?T

I bet everything on it. I'm so upset right now. I feel like I've been hit by cold water.

-LOLI can't even set a date for the comeback. I'm so mad. I'm going to hang up the Internet

- Please, before you open the lid... It's been a while since we promoted as a tester. Let's enjoy it. We can work hard

Still, I waited for the music video, but I lamented that what Testa brought was for the music that anyone could hear.

In addition, some of the expected factors missed and the excitement cooled further.

It's black

It'sorry. I think it was a reflective light

HJ: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhm

In particular, fans who were excited by looking at Park Moon-dae's year-end photos and saying that it was clear that he had dyed his hair black were somehow discouraged.

The same was true of the other members. It was all natural. There is an atmosphere, but there was a lack of impact somewhere.

A comeback with a beginner who can't win no matter what.

He slipped several times in the most important regular season, and he felt weak and defeated for no reason.

Let's just stream it hard

HJ: It's a great song again, so let's do it properly. SW: The members worked hard like this is a bit

Fans tried hard to stream the title song, which was pre-released among the albums, on music sites, but the results were as expected.

[Failed to win the first place in real-time test]

[Comparing Young Rin and test entry graph]

[Testa's song is a bit shocking]

TESTA's agroes, who were excited for the first time in a while on all kinds of sites, went wild.

As many people wanted Testa to do better, many people were interested in their slump.

-Testa songs are good, but there's a limit to male idols. There's a big difference in users

HJ: The fans are all clenched and streamed, so this is definitely Young-rin's Muggle Pick

-Did you try to focus on the pre-release of the title? If I had lined up the tracks, I would have looked cool, but it looks like I'm losing shape

Even though he made a comeback, he was in a situation where he was rather exhausted.

It would have been nice to just cover your eyes and ears and enjoy the content, but when the fans are having a hard time because of the heart of the person who can't.

[202X ToneA / 01. 08. Fri]

The day has come when the T1A awards ceremony, which will feature Testa's first comeback stage, will air.

Fans recovered their expectations and energy that they could still see the stage, waiting for the members' performance.

I expect it will be a relaxed and light stage, just like during "Picnic."

But their predictions were shattered.

-????

-Insane Beauty;;ㄴ

in a good sense

After a long wait of three hours, what appeared behind the scenes... It was a seven-person swimming wearing a huge doll mask that could be used by an amusement park employee.

However, the sentimental and clear feeling of the pre-released music video was nowhere to be found.

It was the intense glow, puncture, and zippers and luster that took the place.

a black gangster

Everywhere the lights passed, the glow-in-the-dark paint splashed on the doll masks.

[Crying]

Dressed up like bullies, they walked out of the stage without hesitation and posed, picking up doll masks that looked so cute that they felt uncomfortable.

And the beginning, the flashy movement of a human motorcycle.

Drr, Drr, Drrrrrrrrrr-!

A base that sounds like an engine exhaust, beating like a gallop.

The electronic sound, a mixture of snare and ringtone of clapping beats on top of it, heightened the atmosphere.

The lights flashed back and forth between yellow and blue.

The members quickly balanced themselves with a choreography that quickly snatched each other.

And in the middle of the formation, pulling from both sides, the member who will ride the dog jumped out!

He threw a mask.

[Hi?]

It was Park Moondae.

Pink hair flutters with a perm on its side.

HJ: What?

The double title song of this album that we waited for without pre-releasing it.

The 'Drill' has begun.

Episode 262 of "Debuting Illness"!

When Testa's new music video was first released, the stage style that people expected was like this.

- Dance style. Something ticklish?

- I think it's refreshing sweet. Jeans white shirt school uniform

- Refreshing and soft feeling. Like the picnic feeling

And the stage that's unfolding right now is exactly... It was the other way around.

Black costumes flashed on the black stage, fluorescent LED lights and white spotlights.

In the introduction, each member entering the center threw the doll mask he was wearing roughly to one side of the stage, showing his proud face.

in a twitch.

The gloss of the eyeballs on the doll mask glistened in the moving spotlight.

[Good luck! Come on in

Step on today, faster

Run, hurry up

a burning giant

an immortal night]

Dressed in a rider jacket and leather pants that fit in their arms, the seven made a slippery and thrilling choreography across the dark stage.

Whenever the LED glow-in-the-dark paint in the background scatters between movement and collision, the overwhelming walker boots cut the beat.

There was even a member who kicked the doll mask with a walker like a choreography. It was Lee Sejin's part.

Power and relaxation gave me a bad feeling.

Not only Park Moon-dae, who was the first batter, but also colorful colors popped out of it whenever the members took off their masks.

It was a strong color contrasting with the black outfit.

[Bouncing hitting]

a piston joint

The engine is heating up]

The song was composed of only extreme elements such as extremely low notes or high-pitched melodies and rap, but it also stuck well to the first ear because of its good hook and composition.

[Run! Faster!]

cleave the sky

This is acrobatics that goes beyond the night]

And the rush, which had been rising until just before the drop of the pre-chorus, changes its face with a stretching exclamation.

[Yeaaaaah—]

After the subdued accompaniment and voice, breaking the short silence... Whistle.

[Whistle]

And the iKONIC choreography of the chorus where everyone moves like one person.

The riff melody that sticks well to the song makes it addictive and rhythmic.

The playful mime-like choreography, which uses all the whistling sounds and small beats, harmonized well.

[Jump off]

Cha Yu-jin, who has black hair alone at the center, grinned.

It was rather noticeable that the member who was usually a dyeing agent had black hair alone.

In addition, it has colorful scarlet colored lenses in its eyes.

[I don't need a parachute]

Just run

I'm going in. Come in]

The sound of hard boots scratching the smooth floor went into the microphone.

The whistling melody was fast and cheerful, but I felt uneasy and bad because I used a minor note.

[At night, at night]

Just wake up

I'm going in. Come in]

The screaming siren became a beat with a melody.

[Like a drill

Warning Warning Emergency]

As if on a ride, the choreography of crossing the members' arms and legs and falling after making exquisite poses was intense.

Regardless of likes and dislikes, it was at the level of performance for survival programs.

[That's ma thrill, Ha!]

Ending with a rush.

The dancers, who had already brought doll masks, put them on Sun Ah-hyun, the center of the last dance break, like a performance.

And in the meantime, the members wearing the same doll mask will have the ending formation.

It was a powerful and humorous movement that twisted the neck wearing a doll mask like a wooden doll.

(Screaming)

The sound of a bike with a brake was circling on the stage.

The light goes out suddenly.

[Drill]

That's how the stage ended.

However, the audience's response has just begun.

* * *

-Wow me

-(Laughing) (Laughing)

-Testa! Testa 1! -Testa! Testa!

-LOLThat's crazy

Screaming, admiration, and laughter flowed from the audience at the scene to real-time broadcasting posts on the Internet.

There was no noble interpretation or meaning on the stage.

People were excited about the crazy performance and song that was full of aim for WOW points.

That's why we made this song.

I love it. As expected, the taste of watching the performance of testas is the best

- This restaurant is good at unexpected things

What's with Park Moondae's rap? What's with everyone's hair color? I love it

I got goosebumps when I took off my doll mask

It was a stage with three virtues: intense and fun performances, popularity to digest a little maniac elements with individuality, and unexpectedness that fans like.

More authentic fans enjoyed the taste of new activities until night while ripping off the stage.

The atmosphere of the fandom, which had cooled once with Young-rin, heated up again.
