On Sunday evening, I reorganized the choreography and woke up after being bitter, and it became next week.

This means that it is time to check sales figures for the first week.

The result was terrifying.

"…670,000 copies?”

"Yes!"

I asked the manager again.

"Sales, not pre-orders?”

"…do you know that? Anyway, sales volume is right!"

“…….”

For reference, pre-order volume means the amount of pre-order from the retailer in anticipation of the album being sold.

"I tend to put in more than the first time, so I suspected it would be this way."’

I can't believe 670,000 went out.

‘I can't believe it.’

Although the recent album sales inflation is severe, the sales volume is really numb.

It was even more enormous considering that TeSTAR's fan base was formed mainly in Korea as a former audition program.

It's even more than it used to be.

"Wasn't it originally 600,000?"’

Obviously, the initial number of the group that will debut with "Ajusa" is 600,000 copies. I didn't know where the 70,000 came from...….

"...the sales of our boy idol's debut album is breaking a new record?

"Oh, oh, oh...….”

"Holy moly."

The other guys were overwhelmed rather than happy.

If it were about 300,000 copies, I would have rolled the floor and been happy, but when the double score came up, I felt a little scared.

Soon, of course, a sober man popped out. It means that he has begun to make realistic judgments.

"...Can we win first place next week?"

“…!!”

For a moment, the tension rose.

Ryu Chung-woo opened his mouth.

"VTIC, what's your sales this week?"”

"Let me check."

Kim Raebin immediately started searching.

Weekly sales were immediately available on the album chart.

[LONG NIGHT / VTIC 312,608]"

“……!”

"Wow."

It was an unbelievable figure for the second week.

"Even if it's the last day of my first day, that's true.’

It was like the total sales volume of popular male idols.

At this point, I'm really curious about the beginning of this album.

"…Wait a minute."

I touched Kim Raebin's smartphone screen a few times to check VTIC's first seven days of album sales and initial sales.

[1,872,863]

“…….”

Oh, that's wrong.

"Wow~

"Ha ha."

"No.1, if you work hard, there will be a day when you do it!"

The tension disappeared suddenly. Members began to cheer each other up with laughter.

I expected it, but as the basic score was so different, the winning spirit disappeared.

This tally, which is twice the difference in album sales, was the right time, but it seemed difficult because it was pushed back from the music source.

"There's no way that we'll be able to sell our albums well even after the beginning of the year."

‘...It's probably hard in the second week, too.’

The ranking of the music charts continued to rise, but it was also skeptical that it would be able to push out the VTIC, which is built into the top spot.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Should I get ready to go out?"

"That's better."

"Fighting today!"

Members scattered to change into outdoor clothes.

The manager said, 'This isn't it....' I murmured the same thing a few times, but soon I sighed deeply to see if I had accepted the reality.

'I guess you had other thoughts.’

Well, he'll take care of it.

It was just after getting in the car that the manager took his new chance.

"You know that the fan signing event starts two days later, right?"”

"Already?"

Members were on high alert. I heard about it when I started my activities, but I forgot the date because I was busy with my schedule. The manager nodded.

"Yeah, you bought me a lot of albums and cheered me on. I'll do my best. Treat you with sincerity."

"Oh, of course!"

Maybe the first time he threw the album sales was to build it up like this. You look relieved to say it now.

"Fan signing event."

You need to cheer up to talk to 100 people in a row at a time so you don't

However, some members seemed to have acted as an adverse effect. This is because Sun Ah-hyun's face turned blue at once.

"I, I, I don't think I can do it."

"Why?"

"Huh? Hey, I'm not good at talking.?”

"…? You're good at Korean right now.”

Sun Ahyun, who was involved in Cha Yu-jin's opening, began to be more confused.

I sighed and interrupted.

"You're a cautious person, so you won't make a mistake. Don't worry too much."

"...thank you.”

Sun Ah-hyun answered with a faint smile, but she wasn't very worried.

'It's understandable.’

I haven't even talked to my fans much in the first place.

I sometimes see fans at close range while coming and going during my schedule, but I usually had to quickly exchange greetings and fan services and get on the car.

Sometimes, it's hard to put it in a sample because it's not a fan but a sketch that's persistent near the accommodation or at a convenience store.

"I'm trying to talk to you one-on-one, so any member of the team should be nervous...….”

"Time needs to go fast so that I can see my fans."

“…….”

Except for him.

Big Se-jin in the front seat is humming and rummaging through his smartphone.

"I'm confident. This is it."’

I didn't expect to see an example of an idol troupe ahead of a fan signing event.

…How am I?

"I don't know."

If it's a fan signing event open to famous idols, I've been to take pictures on behalf of them for a few times.

However, I have never heard of what the two are talking about while receiving autographs.

This is because the space itself is more noisy than I thought, so most of the sounds are crushed.

"Well... I've seen you wear headbands a lot.’

It's like that. It's embarrassing, but there's nothing you can't do, so let's

I clicked my tongue while looking back at the brain with only a pure image. There's no substance.

"What kind of conversation do you usually have?"’

I'm on the move, so I'm in the car, but there's no reality camera. I immediately accessed SNS on my smartphone and started searching.

"Since you put 'Review' on the back, you can skip home-ma photos".

But even before I moved to the Popular Post tab, I caught my eye with a recent post that just popped up.

“……!”

Hold on.

=========================

=========================

The image attached to the article was a capture of the proof that 100 copies were bought and fell.

“…….”

120 pictures?

To be honest, I thought of this as soon as I saw it.

How much is this?’

TeSTAR's debut mini album costs 15,000 won. Even if you increase the discount rate through joint purchases...…about 11,000 won would be the lowest price.

'Even with that...…’

It's 1.32 million won.

"……huh."

My brain was pounding.

"Even if the conversation was long, it would have been 1 or 2 minutes."

Since there are seven testas, it means that each person should be worth more than 180,000 won.

Isn't this too low in efficiency?’

Can I talk for a minute and be worth 100,000 won? Of course I'm not confident.

"Should I just do everything you ask me to do?"’

Other than that, no special measures came to mind. I put down my smartphone and pressed my forehead.

I've been to take pictures of people with more than 100 fan signing cuts, but I didn't expect to be involved.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

* * *

Park Moon-dae's first homma arrived at an art hall in Mokdong, where a fan signing event was held.

The small stage and audience seats accommodated 300 people without difficulty.

And the waiting number was distributed.

"Hooray for the first number!"’

Homma happily set up the camera quickly, saying that she could talk to him before he got tired.

And when it's a little past 7:30.

TeSTAR entered from the side of the stage.

At that moment, a deafening roar filled the small art hall. Originally, the sound of taking pictures would have been heard first, but before that, the excitement of the first fan signing was full.

TeSTAR, who was entering slightly shyly waving her hands, nodded in front of the autographed table set on the stage.

"Take your STAR! Hello, we're TeSTAR!"

"Wow!"

It was an official greeting like a rookie who was not used to fan signing events yet. The fans cheered enthusiastically, but inside, they were shouting for their own cheering members.

The same was true of Park Moon-dae's homma.

"Black hair at Moondae!"

Oh, I love it's so good!!’

Park Moon-dae's black hair was not the first time he had been to the pre-recording several times, but it was good every time I saw him.

It may be because Park Moon-dae had black hair at the time she first became a fan.

"Blonde hair was good, but black hair is the best."’

She briefly recalled her friend, a hard blonde, but soon erased it and quickly focused on the camera.

I had to take a good picture and spread that face.

"I think you get handsome every time I see you."’

Perhaps because of the album concept, black-haired Park Moon-dae, wearing a white summer uniform, now a stage costume, had a strangely refreshing atmosphere.

‘This is not a silly comment, it's the truth.!’

While she was muttering like that, Testa, who had finished greeting, crept back to the table and sat down.

"You're at the end of your vocal cords."’

Homma muttered, "I'm glad I brought gifts from other members just in case." I don't want anyone to give it to me while holding a gift to the end of the door.

"Starting in order of numbers∼”

Soon, the fan signing event was held in earnest.

She was able to start getting autographs without waiting long because she got the first number. Moon Dae was about to meet the first number of fans.

The first batter was Ryu Chung-woo.

"Hello!"

"Oh, hello."

When he saw Ryu Chung-woo greeting first, Homma stammered slightly.

"He's handsome, too."’

I saw it called by a nickname like a hot Confucian man on social media, but when I saw it closely, I thought I knew why.

"You look like a sports student who will appear as the main character in the webtoon."…’

She shared a few light small talks, high-fives and handed over a small box of red ginseng.

"Wow, thank you!"

"No, it's not."

The first sign ended warmly. And next.

"Where should I sign for you?”

It was Lee Se-jin, a child actor. Lee Se-jin, with a delicate and neat impression, was not particularly active, but was also not insincere.

"Who are you here to see?”

Surprisingly, he asked questions first.

"I'm here to see all the tests."∼”

"Really? Thank you."

Lee Se-jin answered easily without being particularly sensitive and finished signing neatly.

"It's fresher than I thought."’

Somehow, the image that was renewed as each person received an autograph was good.

The same was true of the members who received their signatures next.

"Well, then I'll try to find the space that stands out as much as possible without covering my face…’

Kim Rae-bin, who showed his nervousness and shyly signed his autograph, was also good.

"Which album cover do you like the most?"

"I like violet the most!"

Cha Yu-jin, who was more excited than a fan receiving an autograph, put all kinds of graffiti around her autograph and threw a question bomb, was also cute.

"In the beginning, I was really mean."

She praised herself, saying that it was good not to say anything useless then.

Then came the big Sejin.

"Welcome~ How was it coming to your first fan signing event?" I was so nervous!

"I was nervous, too!"

"I don't think you're nervous."

With her friendly tone, Big Se-jin made what she did that day, her mood, condition, and worries blow in an instantaneously.

In addition, I didn't say anything, but high-five came out automatically.

"See you next time."

"Yes..."

‘I think we've gotten close’

I felt like I had built an internal friendship with a handsome business department alone. In fact, he vaguely guessed that his opponent treats all his motives in a friendly manner.

Although she was impressed by the insider's vibe felt by only two and a half minutes of conversation, she was in full swing for the upcoming Mundae turn.

'Now the next thing will bite...!’

I was so excited that I was going to pass Sun Ahyun quickly.

‘It was too much of a face to say...…’

"F, nice to meet you…"!”

Sun Ah-hyun listened carefully to her with a smile. Thanks to that, she was almost bewitched by the autograph.

Sun Ah-hyun even put a sincere p.s. underneath it.

'…a natural monument is right.’

That face and personality. It would be hard to maintain a character.

…and now, the long-awaited favorite.

She gulped and looked back at the doorstep.
