In recent days, some players of the game “127 Section” were analyzing the music video for “'BETTER ME”.

Due to the connection to the trailer, it was strangely believed that there would be fanservice related to the game.

[I've seen Godstar's new video]

It seems that monsters in school uniforms are part of the fan service.

If you go to the Gangnam Magul Bookstore, you can see the records of the meteorite survivors, but as a result, the appearance of those people changed and the one they show in the video is the same as the one in the game (screenshot of the game)

In other words, Godstar's video has fanservice around the time the meteorite fell seven years ago.

---

─ Has the collaboration deepened to that point? leave me shaking

L Yaaa, that's great

─ I should watch that idol group's mv

─ Isn't that too fanservice?

─ It's been 7 years since then, but it's still the same as the game. Ruins Factory has nothing to lose with this

L What if the whole world is already in a non-human state because it was infected by the meteorites? What if Godstar's concept of superpowers is due to mutation by meteorites?

L Boy you got a good head to think that

L Has your brain taken over the Ruins Factory or are you a very smart fan?

─ Isn't it tempting for those guys to continue working with the Ruins Factory? Or do you think it's a bad idea?

L You are crazy hahahahahahaha

It was somewhat controversial, but as more people watched the music video, they ended up suspecting that the group and the game were more connected than they thought.

The more they watched and talked about the video, it was as if they found a ring. If you put it in your nose, it turns out to be a nose piercing, while if you put it in your ear, it ends up being an earring.

NT: The elements of the video had an ambiguous meaning, but the players believed what they wanted to believe.

─ Do you see the calendar that was in the classroom? It is from the year 2030. “127 Section” is set in 2037, 7 years after the meteor crisis. It's obvious, right? (Screenshot of the blurred background of the mv)

─ Godstar fans have a theory that B11 and Dr. are the same person. That explains why the name of B11 is a code, surely B11 is a clone of him that has an artificial intelligence linked to his drones

L Hahahahahaha these bastards are so funny

However, there wasn't a lot of evidence that they were actually related and the video wasn't designated as an official collaboration, so the story raised a lot of questions.

And, as usual, there were people who complained about the game, especially with issues related to the initial companions of the game.

─ Oh dammit, old Ruins Factory bastards, give me back my sniper hahaha or sell the option to rename characters, I want to name one of my new comrades after the sniper

L Oh, I wish I could…!

L Can you do that?

─ I just started the game, I want to ask something and I hope you will answer me quickly. Why did they all die? Please answer

L That doesn't happen

L Every time I enter the fancafe, I find people like you who wonder the same thing lol

When the theme of the game's initial companions was still important to the game community and fans, TeSTAR uploaded a belated choreography video celebrating Halloween.

In the thumbnail of the video, the boys could be seen lying on the floor.

And as soon as the musical intro of "BETTER ME" began, each of the members gradually woke up, but they occupied a different starting position from the original choreography.

It was the same posture from the illustration that was shown when starting a battle in the game.

The youngsters played their roles very seriously, wearing the same costumes from the trailer, and because their facial expressions were quite similar to the characters in the game, they greatly enhanced the atmosphere.

Even Cha Yoo-jin changed the introduction.

After that, every time it was their turn to sing their part, the members would come out with a small accessory that symbolized the character they were playing and make a short movement that was shown in the battle scenes.

Most of them engaged the choreography with hats, lab flasks and, at most, a bunch of little light bulbs that would hopefully come on, so the atmosphere was light and friendly.

But when Kim RaeBin sang the chorus and dragged the mannequin to appear next to him, the mannequin fell off camera, leaving him embarrassed.

The members held their laughter and moved the mannequin back to the side of the bewildered RaeBin, this made the somber song look somewhat funny as if it were a meme.

In addition, all the impressions the members gave, from the most shameless to the most cold or shy about performing exaggerated combat moves, matched what the characters in the game showed.

Thanks to this, the immersion of the people watching the video intensified and reached its peak in the last part.

Originally, it was a dance drop that elevated the climax of the drama wrapped in a gloomy atmosphere; however, at the final moment, the boys happily waved their hands and said their goodbyes, making the feelings caused by this scene completely match the feelings caused by the game.

The members were just shy and excited about the fun filming, but the storm after that was terrifying.

The comment box was full of people crying who even managed to push the English comments out of the top of the best comments and appear first.

─ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ AAAAHHH!!

─ We'll see you guys again, right? ㅠㅠ Will they collaborate again!?

─ Ah, I can see the stress of a post-traumatic disorder… Are you happy?

─ Wait guys, I'm going to scream now, I won't stop until all my kids in the game are okayㅠㅠ

─ Our children are doing well there, but I was obsessed with the wrong children in the game... Let them go... We'll have to wait until TeSTAR comes back...

There were opinions that connoted conflict with themselves in the comments. Many laughed and cried at the same time.

Even in the gaming community where the video was shared, the mood was the same.

─ The dead companions are back for Halloween.

L Sht

L Don't comment like that, it's sad

L Hahahahahahahaha are you saying that B11 is alive, only that he changed his name?

─ I'm not kidding when we call them “Godstar” (Emoji crying)

─ Godstar is better than the demon bastards from Ruins Factory

Thanks to this, even gamers, non-fans, joined the parade of Loviewers laughing and crying in the comments.

Some felt sorry that foreign fans couldn't understand the situation, but after spreading translated information through social media and them understanding it, everything became even more painful.

This was because “127 Section” hasn't launched its service globally yet...

─ I really want to play that game (laughing and crying emoji)

─ PURE JEALOUSY (angry emoji)

Quite apart from the suffering of overseas fans who didn't even get a chance to cry because they couldn't play the game, the Halloween commemorative choreography video became a hit on the official TeSTAR channel thanks to the immense support it got from part of the gaming community.

In this way, the month of October, which had a stormy collaboration with a game, ended.

* * *

After the content of the collaboration with the game was published, the month of November arrived.

But of course the group's schedule got busier. This is because, during this comeback, we performed better than when we debuted, so our stock price shot up sharply.

The current schedule that I had was living proof of that.

Now, I'm modeling for an ad where they had to pay a high price to get me.

─ Smile raising the corners of your lips a little more ~

I held the light stick and tried to smile as much as I could. Fortunately, after hearing the following instruction from the photographer, it seems that he was satisfied with the above photograph.

─ Look to this side!

Okay…

By the way, they told me that they will then edit my photos and add puppy ears.

"...Don't you think that's already going too far?"

That has nothing to do with the service provided by this advertisement.

The character of this AI was a puppy, so they wanted to use me to promote it.

I was wondering if it would be okay to air this ad with me on TV, but…

In 3 months, this advertisement will give me 350 million won, so I prefer to keep quiet and just follow the instructions of the advertiser. If there is any problem, he will solve it.

—Very well. We're done~

—Thank you very much.

Anyway, the filming went smoothly. The members waiting for me expressed their joy at the end of my filming.

However, Keun SeJin didn't take his eyes off his phone and just greeted me by waving his hand, with a slight smile.

Hmm. He doesn't usually behave that way. Seeing him like this doesn't feel good.

-What are you doing?

-Oh I'm sorry. Is nothing.

SeJin shrugged and put her phone away.

Cha YooJin, who was alternating her gaze between SeJin and his phone from the side, suddenly said something with his eyes sparkling with excitement.

—Was it your girlfriend?

—...!!

—What?! No! No way. Already! What are you talking about~?!

—Wow!

—Don't even think about dating!

—I'm not dating!

SeJin shook YooJin a few times and let him go. Then he smiled and gave a proper explanation.

—The guys from the group I almost debuted in a few years ago contacted me. Hmm~ It's very strange, don't you think?

Beside me, Seon AhHyun looked at him in astonishment.

—Se-SeJin has so many friends!

—Ahaha, well, they're not even my friends~ They're just… acquaintances?

SeJin smiled and drew a line.

"It's like they come to greet you like they're close when they don't even know you."

He shrugged and finished speaking.

—After all, I'll see your faces next month~

—W-what?

—Oh, are you saying that you will see them at the year-end award ceremonies?

SeJin nodded at Ryu CheongWoo's words.

—Yes. Less than a month to go until the awards ceremonies.

—Wow…

—It was something to be expected.

At those words, everyone seemed to have fallen into a dream at the thought of their own radiance. It was clear that they were thinking about all the events that happened this year, from the final of Icorpo to our current activities with the second album.

And I had a feeling.

"We'll go crazy soon when we see our new schedules."

It will be a schedule in which there will be little free time to eat and sleep, because we need to prepare for each presentation that we have in these ceremonies.

It was clear that the agency is still trying to capture the highest-grossing contract offers for us, so our schedule was already busy.

It's probably going to be hard to cut back on job openings, but if we want to prepare, then we're going to have to cut our sleeping hours even shorter. From what I see, I wasn't the only one who thought so much about it, as Kim RaeBin raised his hand and spoke.

—Then, soon we will begin to prepare for the year-end ceremonies.

—Hmm, yes.

—...Do we have to prepare many things?

Bae Sejin's cautious question, who had never paid attention to these kinds of ceremonies, generated enthusiastic responses among those who were fans of these KPOP awards.

—We have to make a special presentation!

—We will probably do three versions with different arrangements. Although we still don't know how many times we will perform at the awards...

—W-we have to make new modi-modifications to the choreographies!

—...

Bae Sejin, who had the lowest dance level, showed a tired expression on his face, but soon nodded. He seemed like e had understood the situation, so his gaze looked determined.

—... Oh. It's okay. I will have to work hard.

—Yes. Let's work hard and attend many award ceremonies.

—I like prizes!

—-Oh, it would be great to win them~

The friendly conversations between all those who gave up leading a normal and quiet life continued. I also did the same.

"I should pay more attention to the 'Rookie Idol Group of the Year' award."

Even if I want to sleep, I'll do it later. First I want to once again check the condition of my status abnormality.

[“Prize or Death”]

We must receive the award at the most prestigious national award ceremony within the specified period.

If we don't get the “Rookie Idol Group of the Year” award at a national award ceremony, I will die.

As long as the criteria for ranking the phrase "most prestigious" are ambiguous, it means that it should win the Rookie of the Year award at least once in one of the three most famous award ceremonies.

"That award is not directly related to how we perform on the day of the ceremonies, but if we don't put in the effort and give a sincere performance, everyone who voted in support of us will lose heart and feel betrayed."

Considering that the awards season will be active for a month, it means that we must also pay close attention to our presentations.

“The good thing is that we are not competing against strong rivals.”

It will definitely be more comfortable than before.

—First of all, MoonDae will be responsible for singing in our live performances. Do you agree with that?

—O-of course!

—Thank you very much as always.

—...That’s fine. Thank you.

—Haha!

As I organized my thoughts, I became a topic of conversation. Anyway, the atmosphere of our team was very good.

And that night, while we were traveling in the car, I received a message.

—...

Isn’t he still having his tour abroad?

Anyway, I didn't want him to try to trick me again, so I answered quickly.

After a while, I received the answer from him.

"I really want to block him."

I turned off chat notifications and connected to the internet. While browsing the forums looking for news about award ceremonies, I found an article that stood out.
