《Debut or Die/ If I fail to debut I'll get a killer disease》[Debut or Die Chapter 025]
Advertisement
Seon AhHyun held the balls that MoonDae had given him and froze.
Seconds later, it was showed a cut of his interview.
And, as if turning back time, the footage of the interview went dark and another cut came out of a recording taken by a still camera elsewhere.
AhHyun's figure, who had his head down on the bed because he wasn't feeling well, was barely visible thanks to the light coming from the bathroom in the room.
Park MoonDae left the bedroom and came back a little later.
The explanation reappeared as a subtitle.
That happened after the first evaluation. At that time, MoonDae had activated the "Sleep will be after death" state, so he didn't sleep that night as he preferred to use his time to practice choreography for the theme song. Thanks to that, he was able to respond to his voice of conscience telling him that he should help AhHyun in exchange for the chocolate he had offered him to eat earlier.
By the way, MoonDae had completely forgotten about this fact when he prepared for the PR broadcast. Seon AhHyun, who was unaware of this, mentioned it in the interview with an expression of regret and gratitude.
And of course, the attached cut of MoonDae was cut from another interview that had nothing to do with the topic. But it looked pretty good.
I never imagined that would be the cause
That was the reason why he ended up eating chicken feet.
If he didn't tell us why before, could it be that he's a little shy?
MoonDae made him feel better hehe
The public reacted so positively that more MoonDae fans became.
MoonDae is prone to malicious misunderstandings because he doesn't express himself much, but in fact, he seems to be the kind of person who cares for those around him.
Our little Puppy... he really is a little Puppy.
Oh MoonDae, you're such a good fool ㅠㅠ You did well to choose the chicken feet but why did you give him your two golden balls? ㅠㅠ
MoonDae, you would have chosen the flower crown
Moon Puppy is so sweet
The master of Park MoonDae's first fansite was very happy for the good editing and favorable responses, but she also felt a bit anxious.
"It hurts me a little that they sell his image so much, but it's good because that way they will buy his shares."
Showing the attractiveness of his personality helped his image and that was perfect for moving forward even when the wind was against him, especially as the show progressed into the second half. She had to drag a certain participant down to get a seat for the one she supported.
The image could be easily ruined if the contestant was reported to have behaved immorally when she was studying at school. Some of the other contestants had already uploaded their graduation photos.

"Come to think of it, nothing is known about MoonDae."
Perhaps he was a very quiet student?
Or maybe he has studied abroad or in some province. She imagined Park MoonDae sitting in a school pavilion perched on top of a paddy field, wearing a straw hat and wearing his classic nonchalant expression.
"That looks very suitable on you...!"
Originally, when it was her first days as a fan, she sensed that no matter where or how MoonDae was, she could take pictures of him and they would come out really well.
Meanwhile, the broadcast showed several contestants preparing for their live PRs. From Kim RaeBin, who played Idol Corporation's new theme song while promoting an electronic piano, to Keun SeJin, who promoted sneakers by dancing to a cover of a random idol group's hit song.
There were a lot of pretty funny scenes.
Then, after showing some of the best participants, the situation of the contestants who could not find any balls was briefly reflected.
Of course, most of them didn't make it to the top 33 in the PR streaming rankings and barely managed to keep streaming for 10 minutes because there was no way it was fun to have a dozen people doing the same boring content at the same time.
They briefly showed the contestants promoting unusual collaboration items, and evidently, Park MoonDae came out there.
The reaction of Cha YooJin, who was staring with his mouth open, passed briefly.
The moment MoonDae's PR was shown made all social media and internet pages abuzz with the word "cute" again. Even the same master of his fansite wrote it.
MoonDae looks so cute eating the chicken feet ㅠㅠ
The process of preparing the PR video broadcast ended in a moderately affectionate way, as if all the live videos had ended well. It was as if it had never happened that some participants accidentally exposed their partners' secrets or talked about sensitive issues that came up during filming.
Even after being harassed on the internet, there were two contestants who left the show voluntarily.
As long as the show continued to be popular, there was no need to mention the controversy of the contestants on the main broadcast.
As you may have guessed by now, most of the viewers sarcastically criticized once or twice and then focused on the next content.
They were the results of the long-awaited individual competition of each team.
On the screen, several participants were brought into focus muttering "I wish it was me".
And after the MC stretched out the time a bit by adding useless words with dazzling skills, he called out the winners of each team.
Obviously most of the participants pretended to celebrate.
Especially the controversial members of Ryu CheongWoo's team, who tried their best not to lose face when their leader CheongWoo won 1st place.
However, it was re-aired in a strange atmosphere on the show.

"I don't like it, they are very bad."
Having gotten used to this pattern, she was quite unsympathetic to the editing. Perhaps viewers of the show felt something similar.
It's time to announce the 1st place of Park MoonDae's team, Aktober 31.
AhHyun, who was surprised by the announcement, was surrounded by Aktober 31 members.
The boys were happy and harmonious.
"It's a relief!"
She felt relieved, but a little sad.
"I thought MoonDae would win."
Even though she knew there was no real merit in receiving that and, should she win it, she would be the target of more attacks on the nets, still she thought it was a pity.
In social networks, posts and comments began to appear that thought in a similar way.
Congrats AhHyun~
I'm a little disappointed, but I liked the warm response he received
I thought our blonde MoonDae would win! Owwㅠㅠ but he's still very happy
All the guys are so good so no matter who gets it, they deserve it TT TT
Moon Puppy told him that he did a great job~
Perhaps, if she did a more explicit search... he would find another type of reaction soon.
MoonDae made the arrangement and kept his mental care but Seon AhHyun still won without doing anything lol I hope they destroy him
It was an "akgae".
Fortunately, the topic quickly changed thanks to the new visual appearance of MoonDae, who said words of congratulations in the foreground.
The photographer took a screenshot at the perfect moment and uploaded it to the networks.
I don't know who did it, but thank you very much for dyeing his hair blonde... (Screenshot)
On the show, the MC said something important.
She wasn't at all interested in the contestants' reactions, but she was interested in something else.
"Please don't call MoonDae too quickly!..."
She was nervous, waiting for Park MoonDae to be called when she had already passed more than half of the rankings.
She had every intention of making a sales video for WeTube as the lower rankings passed by, but her hand couldn't hold her mouse properly.
"Why the heck do I feel so nervous...?!"
When she couldn't take it anymore, she went to get a soda to drink and sat down again. After a while, the slideshow finally made it to the top 30, but the ratings were interrupted again to show PPL content for some drinks he wasn't interested in.
"Why don't you show MoonDae with that drink...?!"
It was because he didn't touch the drink again when he almost spit it out that time they filmed the contestants' reactions to the 1st episode, but that was a reason unknown to the viewers.
It was around the time that 31st place was announced that there was a scene that might interest you.
He was another Aktober 31 member participant, the boy MoonDae had dubbed "Gold 2". Among the people who came out to the podium to congratulate him was Park MoonDae.
He was so cute when he awkwardly high-fived HeeSeung when he was trying to show his serious expression as usual.
The MC came up with a bad joke.
Starting with Kwon HeeSeung, members of the Aktober 31 team began to be called to the podium sporadically. Choi WonGil and Ha IlJoon (Gold 1) were called up in the middle of the 20th places.
The next to be called was thirteenth place.
SeJin and Sejin reflexively raised their heads, one of them smiling softly and the other keeping a firm expression on his face.
Keun SeJin smiled excitedly and asked Lee Sejin to shake his hand, the other one accepted and shook his hand trembling.
After that, SeJin walked up to the podium to cheers from all the contestants who treated him like he was a star and he pretended not to hear them.
SeJin made a joke to improve the situation with the MC's previous joke.
And after neatly finishing the heartfelt thanks and words of encouragement for the other contestants, he went upstairs.
-MoonDae is in the top 12!
The photographer swallowed hard at his anxiety and waited for the next call.
Since Park MoonDae didn't have a good pre-established image before the 1st episode aired, this alone was quite an achievement.
And until eleventh place, MoonDae's name was not called. Finally, numbers came that he could easily count on his fingers.
Rank 10, Rank 9...
"That means...!"
She relaxed hher shoulders and exhaled. Maybe he'll call MoonDae, she thought it was almost a done deal.
First of all, child actor Lee Sejin got overwhelming recognition from the first stage and Seon AhHyun got a lot of support due to his last performance, so she thought that both of them would be named after MoonDae.
After lighting and focusing on the remaining three Aktober 31 contestants for quite some time, the MC continued.
Sejin stood up with a stiff face. AhHyun and MoonDae, who were still in their seats, congratulated him as usual.
Lee Sejin smiled slightly and awkwardly walked towards the podium.
She couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
-OOOH?!
Posts and comments on the show also overflowed.
Oh my God
Oh Lee Sejin
I thought it would be in the top 5
8th place?
I thought it would be better for him if he continued to try hard, even though he needs to improve his personality a bit more.
Still, it's fascinating that he's so close to debuting;
I think the other contestants are behind in the rankings because he is so popular.
Lee Sejin bowed his head and left the podium, leaving a short and bold comment, "Thank you, I'll do my best to not be eliminated."
Immediately, she took the mouse from her computer.
"So what position will MoonDae get?"

Thomas the Brawler
Thomas doesn't remember what his last name was, before it became Bluebrim, a name belonging to another universe. He's also pretty sure he wasn't this stupid before he arrived, but what can you do, when a day that was supposed to begin with an interview to set your life back on track instead begins in a universe that makes no sense, with rules you can't begin to understand? Maybe he should have paid more attention to the avatar creation screen ... Content warnings: All of them. Seriously. Expect lots of blue screens to begin with. Don't expect a power-leveling fantasy, in which the lone hero beats up all the bad guys, and gets a harem of women. There's just a guy who treats character creation like an annoying series of pop-up advertisements, and the story is basically the ramifications of that. The main character has to learn to take the world he's found himself in seriously, and he'll learn the way most of us do, by doing it wrong first. This is, insofar as it is successful, a dark comedy fantasy. Also a bit of horror, particularly but not exclusively body horror. I'm pretty sure I've earned those Content Warning tags, so, uh, yeah. This is practice. Hopefully things improve as I go, and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I make no guarantees things will ever get better. I've already made mistakes, I'll make more, and I'm happy to notice them each time I make them. You don't improve unless you fail. (On the plus side, it probably won't get much worse.) Feel free to point out anything you think I'm doing wrong; I don't promise to change anything, particularly if it's a matter of taste, but I am looking to improve, and figuring out what I need to improve goes faster if I don't have to try to figure it out myself. I've updated the earlier chapters for formatting, in the hope that it would make everything easier to read on mobile devices. Hopefully things work slightly better now, but please let me know if there are any issues anywhere.
