《Debut or Die (MTL)》70

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
When I opened the locked door and walked into the room, Lee Se-jin, who was sitting in his bed depressed, freaked out.
"Ugh..."
"Get a hold of yourself."
I sat on the opposite bed. Ryu Chung-woo and Keun Se-jin, who were expected to follow immediately, were not seen.
'…you must have lost your grip.’
Those two deserve it.
Well, that's enough. Now that Lee Se-jin is like that, I can't go to bed right away, so let's find out what you're thinking.
'I wish I had a drink.’
There was no way there was such a thing in the idol group's accommodation that was about to be launched. I just brought it up.
"Bro, you know we're going to have an interview at work tomorrow morning or dawn
“……!”
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just organize your thoughts here? It's not a situation where you can avoid it."
The characteristic of "That's right to hear" might not work this time, but Lee Se-jin opened his mouth after quite a while.
"…I don't know."
"I don't know.”
"What do I want to do...….”
“…?”
Isn't it too late to worry about your career now?
"Do you want to go back to your former agency and continue acting?”
"…I don't want to go back."
"So you want to act?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Lee Se-jin buried his face in his palm.
"In the first place, I didn't even think about idols....”
“…….”
This reminds me of you when something's wrong with this...?
I kicked my tongue.
‘I guess you didn't participate in the audition on your own.’
" must have joined because of your former agency."
"…Yes, I rested for a long time…… I heard that you have to do something like that to get a job."
"Well."
I said it casually.
"You worked so hard for that."
"…you have to work hard. Because I can't."
Lee Se-jin was a little angry.
"Well, it was different from that."
I remembered what he said to me in the final.
‘You'll debut, so it won't end, do you mean? That would be wonderful.’
Doesn't that mean you want to continue? In addition, Lee Se-jin's status window was also visible.
‘There's no F now.’
Lee Se-jin raised the dance stats that were F when he started filming to D+ now.
It was never a growth that could be achieved because it had to be done without any impression.
So I had a rough idea.
"Actually, it was fun"
“……!”
"It was fun and you ended up working harder without realizing it."
Lee Se-jin kept his mouth shut. He can't deny it.
"Yes… it was good to be on stage. I wanted to continue. But the acting... I want to continue.”
"…? Go ahead."
"What?"
I don't know why I'm thinking about this.
"After a couple of years, the agency here will put in personal activities. Act. If you fill five years, it's renewal season, so if you want to stop being an idol, you just have to continue acting."

Lee Se-jin, who listened with his mouth open for a while, immediately lowered his head with a bitter smile.
"…I can't."
"What?"
"You don't know what kind of place my former agency is."
“…….”
Well, I didn't know that. Actor wasn't my thing.
Lee Se-jin might have given up half of it, so he called a series of situations.
"Dream K there... It's not a good agency. I don't know what I'm going to do if I stay here like this."
"Do you have any weaknesses?"
If any drugs come out of here, I will recommend withdrawal ahead of time.
Fortunately, Lee Se-jin frowned.
"I didn't live like that. …I mean, I'm going to pop anything in the form of a tabloid."
According to the explanation that followed, it seemed that there were already several actors who sent them like that because they did not renew their contracts.
When the contract renewal season comes, they deliberately lower their ransom by releasing rumors.
‘It's a bad project that looks like it's painted’
"Well, if there's any anticipated lineup of rumors?”
"It's obvious to me.... First of all, the audition was for an actor's comeback and idols didn't even want to do it, so I set the mood."
"Well."
"And then there's an affair... Well, anyway, it's not a crime, it's a strange propaganda leaflet that you can't prove."
"Well, we're investing in T1, so I don't think we're going to be able to go that far."
"That's the purpose of setting the mood by exploding electrons first. They're gonna cut me off on the T1 side
Lee Se-jin muttered to write.
"Anyways... it's extra at the last minute."
“…….”
"My public opinion is not good on the Internet right now. There are a lot of people who want to do it without me.... Because I'm not good at it..”
"……well"
You must have looked it all up.
There's certainly been a bit of that going around.
It means that the additional successful candidate, former actor, and the worst ability, so it will be a much better group if you go without him.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"That public opinion, we'll be weak when we debut."
"……It was useless consolation."
"No, I just mean it will be."
"…what?"
"It's the same as VTIC's It means that we're going to be united internally to keep you in check right now."
“…!!”
Originally, when there is a strong enemy outside, the inside is bound to stick together.
"And if you go out, someone else will be the target. That's how it is. So I don't think you need to think about it as a basis."
It was a behavior seen in any group to want to exclude people who looked like the weakest. This means that this did not happen especially because it was Lee Se-jin.
Lee Se-jin seemed a little choked up, but soon collected himself and shook his head.
"But... there's no way to stop the former agency right away. Just because I tell my agency now, it doesn't mean I can block rumors."

"Then you can do it yourself."
"What?"
I folded my arms.
"You can announce it yourself."
"… First?
"I was forced to participate by my agency, but I found my aptitude and posted that I don't want to go back. Make sure to emphasize ""Forced, Coercive"" from your previous agency. Thanks to the audition, you escaped well."
“……!”
"Then it won't work even if there's a rumor."
This means that the former agency is spraying rumors~ and creates an atmosphere for fans to defend.
Once the public opinion turns, the entire agency will feel burdened to drag the lawsuit, and then T1, who doesn't want to give the stake, will end it well on its own.
Lee Se-jin was silent with his mouth open for a while.
"…what did you do after dropping out?”
"The audition came out."
This repertoire doesn't change. It was fortunate that the NIS did not come out this time.
"Then let's talk about it with the agency."
"…yes."
Anyway, the situation has been roughly sorted out. For the rest, Ryu Chung-woo will pat himself on the back. I held back a sigh.
"…Should I post it on my SNS account?"
"Say that you will write it in your own handwriting."
* * *
After the news of Lee Se-jin's former agency, Dream K's lawsuit, more than one related content was filled in the Internet entertainment article.
In fact, since the unfair contract was correct, various reactions came out in conjunction with the broadcasting station's power trip problem.
-It was too much to steal someone who had left the contract. They're gonna keep the contract, they're gonna keep the operation
- Then it's not double-paying. They're not outsourcing. Why should they do that? That's better for idols
- Honestly, didn't your former agency send you out for an audition because you didn't do anything right?LOL It's transparent that you're asking me to give it back because it's going well now!
-If you're going to train a trainee and pay for this and that, it's unfair for the former agency.
- Ah, because of Lee Sejin, let's just give it to the six of us and do it. Without it, the mood of the quality team will be helpful
In particular, there was a strong reaction from people who insisted on excluding Lee Se-jin.
- Oh, he's not helping at all helpful
- Let's just say that we're doing well and let's take them out ㅠㅠ
- A week before our debut, what's going on?
HJ: He forced himself to come out of the audition, so he kept on going, so who debuted somehow? Who wants to see his face? No, right?
- I couldn't sleep, cried, and ran to the stage. I didn't think it would suit you, so let's take it out
The vicious cycle of Lee Se-jin's fans being hurt by the words was repeated.
And the next morning.
TeSTAR's SNS, which had no alarm since the first article, received a new text alarm.
Fans who clicked at the speed of light saw an article with a picture of a handwritten letter.
-…!
It was Lee Se-jin's writing.
Carefully written in neat handwriting, the content began with a story about his childhood in the entertainment industry.
To sum up, it meant that the former agency abused its young self tremendously.
And as soon as he managed to recover and try new things, it was said that he was forced to participate in the audition by his former agency.
And the audition that I participated in.
Lee Se-jin wrote that he had an unexpected great pleasure there.
Lee Se-jin concluded with saying that he really wants to make his debut as a Testa with these friends.
Shortly after this article was posted, the public opinion of Testa fans, who were even a little favorable to Lee Se-jin, revived.
- ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Sejin wants to be an idol! Just let me do it ㅠㅠ
- Where's the conscience of your former agency? How unfair is that to a 12-year-old kid? Isn't it unfair that you guys did it?
-This time, T1 was right. And Dream K said a slap on the wrist.
- Honestly, I thought Sejin became a test taster... I sometimes wondered if I really wanted to do it. ㅠㅠ I'm sorry
- Those who have been fans since they were child actors were more heartbroken.
- It makes me nervous to think that a 12-year-old kid was on the show smiling even though he was having a hard time.
- I thought Sejin's personality got calmer because he grew up a lot. Oh, my...
- I wanted to see Sejin acting... Rather, I want to see Sejin do what he wants to do. You can't go back to that agency.
And once public opinion was dampened, people who enjoyed rejecting Lee Se-jin fell off quite a bit.
Of course, there were still many sarcastic people, but first of all, it was a form of falling behind in the number of heads.
- Sejin is pretty sentimental too. But what can I do if I'm not good at it?
- You're doing better than a life where you blow up a 23-year-old and write malicious comments!Haha
- ㅋHe's killing me
- It means that Lee Sejin wants to keep making it because he's okay. I feel sorry for those who failed after 3 years
- 대체How much trouble did it take to interpret it so shadyly?
- 이런These guys are characteristic: In other articles, people who were eliminated because they were behind Lee Se-jin
Due to the empathy that Lee Se-jin feels about his writings as a fan of the audition successful candidates, tester individual fandom began to feel rejected by malicious comments about the case.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tnet grabbed Dream K with some carrots and overflowing sticks.
The day when the articles quietly went down and the atmosphere of the fans was reversed.
Like a wedge, another teaser came out at midnight.
However, it was not posted on the official channel of TeSTAR Witube this time.
Instead, it was added as a test reality item on Tnet.
‘Is this channel a mistake?’
‘It's not a magical boy.?’
Fans thought so for a while, and for now, they quickly clicked on the video.
“……!”

Ruthless Reincarnator
Its a first try at a different approach of the "i've reincarnated in another world" genre. No "i wanna go back home", or "i wanna make friends" stuff. In fact, the most emotional moments will probably happen in the Intermission chapters. On the bright side, i have already completed the main story! And it is a short one, of course. Only 100~~something pages long (i'm writting the intermission chapters for now) and every chapter shall be mostly 1 or 2 pages long only. So everyone should have something to read for the next 2 months or something. Obs: I have also opened a Patrenon. I intend on posting 1 chapter every day and asking for donations in case people want more. Why ? ´cause i like money. Have a good reading everyone.
