《Debut or die》021

The first donation message was straightforward.
#Why did you choose chicken feet? Haha
People buzzed in the comments saying that it was a great question. Park Moondae thought for a bit and then answered honestly.
“Well actually, my keyword for the collaboration item was frozen food, not chicken feet.”
– Wow, how shady
– Looking back at the chicken feet now, it looks like a fairy
– Why would they put frozen food on an idol’s PR……?
– Why would they put Mandu in the nominations when there is a T1 carbonated water hahaha
Park Moondae, who could not read the comments, calmly continued.
“Out of all the frozen food I received as a sample, the chicken feet tasted the best. So I chose chicken feet.”
– !!
– Samples…… you tried all of them?
– This participant is ‘real’
– At this point on, I can’t even laugh because he is working hard haha
“Since it’s an advertisement… it would be hard to say that bad food tasted good.”
As Park Moondae answered, he grabbed a chicken feet and put it back in his mouth. And immediately afterwards, a spam of donations flowed in.
#What’s your favorite food besides chicken feet?
#Who are you the closest with?
#Then what criteria did you use for choosing the triangular kimbap hahaha

“I am not picky about the food I eat. For the participant I am the closest to…… If I say it, it will be a spoiler, so I will skip it.”
– He is so thorough hahaha
– Then it’s true that Moondae has someone he is close to? Grandma believes in Moondae!*^^
– In the next broadcast over, Seon Ahyun said he was close to him hahahaha
– Hahaha Okay, Moondae-ya, are you close with Ahyun?
From Park Moondae’s standpoint, he thought that speaking directly to someone could be a risk factor, so he was a bit evasive.
However, the comments were playing with even that as a subject.
And around the time Park Moondae was meticulously explaining why he chose the triangular kimbap, the delayed donations burst in succession.
“The tuna mayonnaise is thick and goes well with chicken feet as a sauce… Ah.”
#Moondae-ya, please sing a song for me ㅠㅠ
#Don’t eat too much and introduce yourself hahaha
#Do you have any secrets to being good at singing?
“Well, a song.”
Park Moondae put down the last chicken feet he was about to eat.
-Fi na lly
-Did his idol ego wake up?
-He was revived when there was only one chicken foot left, is that meaningful……
– No, Moondae’s song is great, I watched the team match and it was awesome ㅠㅠ
-It was good on the show, but what about live?
In the midst of a lot of comments, Park Moondae started singing.
“I’m standing on the stage, you won’t know it yet~”
It was the show’s theme song 〈It’s Me〉.
Park Moondae only selected songs that had already been well-received by trainers without much thought, but from the viewers’ point of view, it was nothing but solidifying the character.
– Park Moondae, he is a pro
– Isn’t he the most sincere participant in the show?
– It’s really unpredictable, It’s not the criminal’s mindset.
– This is so funny its driving me crazy ahahaha
The comments were overflowing with people joking around. But that wasn’t all.
– But he is a good singer.
– Why is it so sweet even though there are chicken feet in the same cut?

– It’s good to listen to even without accompaniment
– Good job Moondae-ya, now sing another song ㅠㅠ
Despite the fact that 77 people were broadcasting live at the same time with low-cost equipment, Park Moondae’s voice was clearly transmitted.
Without equivocation or blurring parts, Park Moondae coolly carried on singing.
It was a nice voice to listen to without a single unstable note.
As if they were concentrating, the speed of the comments slowed down a bit. The reaction was occasionally mixed with exclamation.
And past the last part of the pre-chorus, it was when the chorus began.
“Now on stage……”
Tirriririring!!
An alarm rang loudly from the clock on the desk.
It was an alarm to warn that there were 30 seconds left. Five minutes of extra time was over.
“Ah, the time is up.”
Park Moondae Immediately stopped singing.
It’s because he didn’t intend to create more room for controversy by wasting time and adding more songs.
The problem was that he quit too abruptly.
– No, you can’t stop there.
– Just before the chorus hahaha
– Ahhh, it’s frustrating, I’ll just sing it instead. The one who shines on this stage today is me!! Arghhh!!
-Don’t you know that this is the big picture to make you want to watch episode 2? Moondae-ssi is serious about the program.
-If he ate just one less chicken feet, would he have been able to sing all of the first verse?
-I wish he would sing even one verse right now ㅠㅠ Oh my gosh Moondae-ya
One delayed donation appeared on the screen.
#I love your voice!
In contrast to the current comment atmosphere, the donations carried on a gentle tone.
“Thank you. I will do my best. Well, come to think of it, the remaining donation questions……”
Park Moondae quickly looked over the questions again, and his eye was caught on ‘self-introduction’ and ‘secret to being good at singing’. And he thought.
‘I am lucky that I don’t have enough time.’
In fact, Park Moondaewas delaying the answer for the next donation by wasting time with songs on purpose. Because he had a hard time answering.
First, introduce yourself… There was nothing to say because he had entered someone else’s body.
He still did not fully understand the background of ‘Park Moondae’. Moreover, the background he had already grasped was quite dark.
The secret to singing was even more difficult to say.
‘Because the system window helped? That’s crazy.’
Park Moondae made his decision in an instant and continued his speech.

“Let me introduce myself first.”
At that moment, the screen went black.
[Live is over.]
The broadcast time was over.
– ??
– What
– I think it’s over?
-The production team ended the broadcast.
The remaining viewers were confused, but soon understood the situation and began to laugh.
– Ahahahahahahaha
– In the end, we didn’t hear him say a single word about himself……
– I feel like I just watched the mukbang as an ad.
– Oh, it’s been a while since I had so much fun
– No, Park Moondae is really funny hahaha
People left one word at a time in the real-time comment box that was still going on.
However, quite a number of people remained for quite a while, so they continued to leave comments.
They were the people who became fond of Park Moondae.
They had a lot of fun comparing Park Moondae from episode 1 with Park Moondae in the previous PR live.

– But Moondae is really cute… With such a disinterested face, he eats well and sings well ㅠㅠ He is the best even without using tricks
– His face is trendy, so it’s a hot spot. If he takes a little more care of it, he’ll look really good
– Okay, I need to open a fan account today
– Where can I vote?
– Idol Joint-Stock Company website -> This is the stock purchase window. If you purchase the Collaboration Bundle for 1 vote per day, you can gain additional votes
– Upstairs is so clever
– Since Moondae is so cute, I gave him one vote
Criticism continued in the comments about the strong voting method, but soon the topic returned to Park Moondae’s recent broadcast
-In the meantime, he ate the chicken feet so deliciously ㅠㅠ I ended up going to the link and bought it
– I ordered delivery right now. Thank you, Moondae-ya, I broke my diet at night because of chicken feet
Then, suddenly, a comment came out saying something out of the ordinary.
– But why does Moondae’s eating style feel so familiar? I think I saw it somewhere.
– Really?
– Did he film an advertisement for formula when he was a baby? (Badam)
– Hahahaha I heard he doesn’t have any experience in the entertainment industry
– Oh, I found it. This is it. Identical (link)
The link was linked to a video of a chicken foot mukbang.
The appearance of putting chicken feet in one bite and chewing them was similar to the live broadcast they watched earlier.
Only the species was different.
[A country dog eating chicken feet!]
In the video, a large dog of unknown origin was eating raw chicken feet.
The channel name was ‘Exploring the diet of countryside species’.
The prickly-eared, black-haired dog wagged its tail with a sullen-looking face and eagerly put the chicken feet into its mouth.
On top of that figure, Park Moondae’s indifferent mukbang suddenly overlapped.
– Oh my god
At that moment, Park Moondae’s first nickname was decided.
* * *
– Look at this, the two are the same. From today onwards, Park Moondae is Moon puppy (screenshot of countryside dogs eating stream) (screenshot of Park Moondae’s live)
The picture of me putting boneless chicken feet in my mouth in the form of ‘Park Moondae’ and a picture of a big dog biting chicken feet was shared in SNS over 4,000 times.
I was a little confused.
First of all, my goal of getting rid of the negative image by creating a sense of familiarity… seemed to have been a success.
“Moon Puppy……”
I never thought I would have such an embarrassing nickname at 29 years old.
I have been told several times in my life that I ate well.
‘Maybe it’s because I didn’t leave food behind, and didn’t care…… ’
It was simply because I couldn’t afford to throw away food after my parents died.
So, I never thought that I would get such a reaction just because I ate some chicken feet.
“It’s the fourth.”
A PR video was uploaded not long after the live ended, and the current number of views of my video was in my fingers.
It was still on the rise. It seemed it would be able to go over Lee Sejin’s, a former child actor, who was ranked third.
I decided to adapt to the situation.
‘It’s embarrassing, but whatever, it’s a good situation.’
I couldn’t be picky when I was facing sudden death. Moreover, the excitement was greater than the embarrassment. A little… I was very thankful.
‘Thanks to you, I am one step away from sudden death.’
I briefly thanked the people who posted the SNS post and the people who shared it, and started thinking about the next step.
Now there was one near problem.

How will my editing come out in the second episode, which will air soon?
In particular, I was worried about the part where I received platinum on the evaluation.
‘Even if the editing is a bit poor, I think there will be a response like ‘He should have received it, but Park Moondae received it instead’.”
I turned on the on-air window on my smartphone with a little nervousness.
Still, the 2nd episode was a bit more comfortable because I didn’t have to film unnecessary reactions. Thanks to that, I was able to get a can of beer as well.
[Relisting! Idol~ Joint-Stock Company!]
Listening to Youngrin’s voice inserted in the opening, I slowly drank the beer. And focused on the content.
“……”
By the end of episode 2, there were two cans of beer next to my smartphone.
I took the last sip of beer and thought.
‘It was okay.’
The production team also put great effort into editing my evaluation.
Through the mouths of the judges, the judges once again verified that the choreography was completely performed and that the pitch was correct, and stamped that it was good.
Even the scene where I got the platinum rating did not shed much light. They just treated it with a nuance like ‘Of course, the participants who do this much should get it~’.
They did not raise controversy over the judgment at all.
“What are they thinking?”
I feel like I’ve been influenced by alcohol. I carefully recited the direction of my editing.
‘The thing that bothers me is…… is.’
They didn’t show anything about how I practiced without sleeping for a week.
They can’t show all the circumstances of the 77 people, but even if that was the case, it was strange that they sent out the scene where I asked Seon Ahyun for the choreography.
It also bothered me that it was edited in a way that made it seem like I watched the choreography once and copied it.
‘Come to think of it, they put in an interview that made it seem like I wasn’t interested even when receiving a grade.’
Well, after summarizing it so far, I had a feeling.
The production team seemed to keep pushing the character of ‘Park Moondae’ in the first episode.
To put it bluntly… the character of ‘my-face talented ordinary person with no sense’.
Fortunately, thanks to the PR Live, the public opinion on the Internet had already given me the image of a chicken-feet puppy.
‘I guess I can let it slide.’
I immediately turned on social media and checked it out. As expected, the people who treated Park Moondae in episode 2 like a clever puppy caught the public opinion first.
That was a relief since I couldn’t let my guard down. Because editing wins everything.
‘Should I save more puppies?’
Diiing!
While thinking, my smartphone rang.
It was Keun Sejin. I felt the meticulousness from texting, not from the message app.
[Moondae-ya, our team is going to watch episode 3 together, how about it?]
Should I do that? I immediately started writing replies.
‘I’m sorry, but I have something to do……’ The moment I was about to say no with a reasonable excuse, another text message arrived one after another.
[No way… Don’t sad things happen when only Moondae is missing ?ㅜㅜ Lee Sejin -yung said he was coming too!]
“……”
Did they all already reach an agreement?
Only read this at europalation (dot) wordpress (dot) com, please do not repost
This guy was the guy who told the production team that we saw it together and sent a photo as proof.
The editing direction was already suspicious, but I didn’t know what would happen if I was the only one left out.
I slowly corrected the text.
[Oh yeah. I can come.]
A reply came right away.
[Hehe I knew Moondae would like it too~ I’ll see you then!]
“……”
No wonder… I felt like I lost.

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
