Those who couldn't get TeSTAR concert tickets showed up everywhere.
— I'm looking for tickets for the concert on the 31st. I don't have a ticket yet ㅠㅠ
— Please schedule an additional time. It doesn't matter if they do it on a business day
— I don't have a ticket, I just came to read the comments hehe. It's funny that there are so many people like me lol
L It's not funny (Photo)
There were many comments, which doubled when people who were interested in the concert joined.
— Ah, today is the TeSTAR concert?
They had no intention of getting the tickets, but they were curious about what the performances would be like.
This is because the video of TeSTAR's failed attempt to buy tickets briefly circulated on social media and communities, so the public consciousness, which had been formed beforehand at Icorpo, was already aware of the scope of the concert.
Therefore, the concert was being broadcast live or uploading videos recorded by phones with very low quality.
— Oh, they have wires
— Park MoonDae is very good at performing live
— Was that AhHyun who just passed by? He was great, but the broadcaster shook his phone, so I couldn't get a good look at it. That's the bad thing ㅠㅠ
— Of course, it was illegal, but the quality of the broadcasts was not high enough to affect the demand for the VOD of the concert, so it could be sneakily leaked so that people could talk about the concert they couldn't attend.
— Are the main songs finished yet? What will they sing in the second half of the concert?
— Let me know when the B side songs are done haha
— TeSTAR is very good at dancing. As I guessed, I like his first concert. My idols are like this at the first concert, ah!
— Wow the stage decorations hahaha T1 has spent quite a lot of money haha
— Of course, not everyone who watched those videos had a favorable interest in the group.
— Oh... TeSTAR's live performance isn't as good as I thought ㅠ I expected it to be amazing, but it's not perfect... I guess they'll fix the mistakes in the broadcast video edits
L Don't you think they're good?
L You judge when you sneakily watch an illegal broadcast lol
L Why are the fans so aggressive? Can't you shut up?
L You were the one who came to mess with TeSTAR fans hahahaha
L While they are busy doing their concert, you are here, pulling your hair
L Yeah, just watch the video even if it has poor quality
Aggression attempts were blocked at all times.
There was a limit to judging singers' abilities through bootleg videos that weren't officially broadcast, unless they went bankrupt in front of the public.
— However, it was obvious that the TeSTAR members were really good.
— Cowboys? Hahaha they are amazing
— It's nice to see your dance steps so synchronized
— From the moment I saw this sub-unit, I thought its presentation would be a lot of fun. The dance line is very cool
— i really want to see this
The favorable opinions of the presentation of the first sub-unit, generated expectations to know who will follow,
But that doubt did not last long.
Who will form the other sub-units? hahaha
— Do not know who will follow? I think they follow CheongWoo-RaeBin and then MoonDae-AhHyun-BaeSe
L Yes, yes, one of those teams
L Oh I have no idea who will show up next

L hahahahahahahaha yeah
L I've seen the reality show, but I don't know. Both teams chose an old song
This is because it was a combination of members whose top positions did not match, so it was unknown what the outcome of their performances would be.
Because of that, the expectations about what they could expect from the other sub-units were dashed.
— They are doing BETTER ME
— What came out was a huge golden flag? Did Cha YooJin get on it? They must really like having so much money
— Wow, I like it a lot. I hope they collaborate with 127 Section again ㅠㅠ
— It would be great if they could do that performance with a live band.
— How is it that TeSTAR can keep breathing? They do too many dance steps
People immersed themselves in the concert broadcast, enjoying the intense performances of the full group that continued after a ballad.
Until the middle talk resumed, but this time, there were only two people holding their microphones.
— ??
— Where are the others?
— Is it Cha YooJin and Keun SeJin?
— Both of them were breathing hard though they tried to be smiling.
— Hahahahaha Cha YooJin is so cute when he looks in a good mood
— Guys you need to catch your breath lol
— It reminds me of how they felt in Icorpo ㅠㅠ
L You reminded me of Icorpo…
— After exchanging light jokes, the two announced the upcoming sub-unit performance to the audience, who responded positively.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
The two ran across the stage with a smile, leaving the message "See the details on the screen" to the cheering audience.
And a few seconds later, three people appeared in it.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
What was displayed on the screen was clearly visible to those watching through the transmission.
— It's Park MoonDae's sub-unit
— Ooooh
— I'm curious what they will show us
— Seon AhHyun will dance, Park MoonDae will sing, and Bae Sejin… will he act?
L Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
L What the hell have they prepared...? It is very likely that the one who sings the most is MoonDae
L Because of the member selection, I don't think it's very fun ㅠㅠ
People wrote various comments while waiting for the VCR to finish.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
The screen went black after the three of them waved their hands goodbye to the video.
And a few seconds later, the transmitted video began to shake with great force.
— ???
— What?
— What happens to the transmission?
While that was happening, “Eh? EEH?!!" and soon there was such loud cheering that it seemed as if the audience present at the concert were tearing their throats out with the fury with which they shouted.
The wave of screaming reached the point of making the sound quality of the song on the broadcast drop tremendously and only noise could be heard.
— What is this?
— Am I the only one who thinks the broadcast got weird?
— Hahahahahahaha how about reaction from the public
— What the heck did they do?
— Will they be undressed?
L Hahahahahaha you're crazy!
— I'm dying of curiosity ㅠㅠ
Those who were spying on the concert through the illegal broadcasts began to get scared and excited by the tremendous reaction.
They didn't know what had happened, but they were sure something great had happened, as there were some transmissions that were completely cut off.
— Hul hahahaha
— What happened to the transmission?
— He must have dropped his phone and the screen turned off heh ㅠㅠ
Advertisement
— Does anyone know what is going on? ㅠㅠ
— I can only hear the screams of the fans hahahahaha
In the midst of these confused reactions, an article with the circumstances was finally published.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
In the attached picture… Park MoonDae was wearing a shiny pink sequin headband on her head!
ㅤㅤ
* * *
Inside the Gymnastics Arena, where the concert was taking place, the presentation of the second sub-unit began when the lights focused on some telephone booths.
Riiiiiiiing-
The three telephone booths, which were raised to the stage by means of a lifting device, were painted in soft pastel colors.
"Yes! I will definitely make sure to take photos!”
Park MoonDae's fansite master grabbed the camera from him and gulped as she thought.
"Will they do the concept of singing supported inside a booth?"
Since it was an emotional song from the 80's, he thought maybe they arranged the song to be a slow ballad.
“I wish MoonDae-ya sings a lot of verses!”
At that moment, the intro began to play.
The refreshing sound of the xylophone and the lively sound of synthesized brass instruments mixed together and made a rousing rhythm.
Following the exciting rhythm, the cabin doors opened one by one.
ㅤㅤ
Ppyam! Ppyam! Ppyam!
ㅤㅤ
All kinds of flashy decorations, confetti, and balloons appeared on the stage as each booth opened.
— ...?!
And when they finished falling, the young people could be seen leaning inside the cabin.
"Blond hair!"
Park MoonDae was inside the middle booth.
…He had on skinny jeans, a white T-shirt, and a baggy denim jacket that fell below his shoulders!
“That outfit!!”
The moment the master was about to pick up her camera, Park MoonDae walked out of the booth and immediately began the choreography and first verse.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
As soon as MoonDae started singing with a smile in her eyes, he took out what he was hiding behind his back and put it in his blonde hair.
It was a shiny… huge ribbon.
“Huuuh!”
The choreography, which had cute aegyo gestures that could not cause cuteness if he had no talent, was performed using the flexibility of his body, causing a refreshing feeling to everyone who saw it.
As she sang, her face was shown on the giant screen. Under Park MoonDae's eyes, there were shiny stickers.
“What madness! Park MoonDae, you are insanely impressive!”
It was a classic female solo song from the 80s, but it was being performed in an idol style!
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
Bae Sejin continued the song, also adjusting a sparkly sky blue ribbon headband.
Since the choreography focuses on flexible movements and beautiful poses, Bae SeJin, who lacked greater physical strength, was able to dance quite well.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
And Seon AhHyun came out and sang the pre-chorus in a sentimental voice. The bright purple ribbon fluttered above his head.
"He looks incredible…"
The blue denim jacket and white t-shirt seemed to have been created for Seon AhHyun to wear.
In the choir, everyone sang and danced together.
Depending on the choreography, the denim jacket was pulled over the shoulders and then back down to the elbows, showing that the shirt was short-sleeved.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
Whether in the costumes, hairstyle, direction, choreography or arrangement; she felt the will to show off the incredible talents of idols.
But that determination could be blocked if it was not executed properly. If appearance and talent were not shown to be on the same level, then the public might think that they were excessively devoted towards only one of them.
But thanks to the excellent effort, the audience watching the performance was at the peak of happiness, satisfaction, and immersion.
“Huh…”
The master, who could barely see the fancam she was recording as she was staring at the stage, suddenly realized that the surroundings were filled with tremendous shouts and cheers.
She didn't even know that it was so noisy because she was focused on Park MoonDae, that he showed his talent to the 200%.
"...I probably yelled too, right?"
Maybe her fancam includes her own screams.
“But if there was a fan who didn't scream even once after seeing this stage, then she would be a very strange person!!”
She suppressed her screams and didn't take her eyes off the stage even in the middle of the song.
The idols, who once again brought out balloons from their phone booths, ended the performance splendidly by performing beautiful choreography carrying balloons attached to strings.
— Ooooh…
The master leaned back in her seat sobbing with excitement as she realized that the sub-unit had done a great job singing live in the same vocal range as the female soloist.
It was a side effect of the talent shows.
[ : Talent shows are held annually in all kindergartens in Korea. They are beautiful, entertaining and controversial events for abusing children, forcing them to perfect their talents with difficult presentations of singing, dancing, theater, etc. If they do not do well, they are criticized and even beaten and food is forbidden as punishment. Our boys struggled to sing the tones of the original female vocalist because they were put through a rigorous vocal training regimen like that of traumatic talent shows. ]

— O-our fans loved it!
As soon as we got off the stage, AhHyun exclaimed excitedly. He rarely expressed himself with that level of conviction.
"Well, it's hard to doubt that after hearing them."
Even though I was wearing the In-Ears, I could hear countless tremendous screams to the point that I almost started my verse half a second late in the middle of the song.
Bae Sejin, who was doubtful if the stage would be successful when we started rehearsals, also calmly admitted as he took off his ribbon headband.
— The concept we did… it was a good idea, right?
— Y-yes it was…!
AhHyun nodded vehemently. Anyone who sees it will think it was his idea.
"Well, the two of them chose the song... To a certain extent, it's true that it was AhHyun's idea."
But the one who suggested this concept after choosing the song, was me.
"I thought it would be most appropriate for a concert."
And this choice... was also a matter of the overall composition of the concert.
"There was no other song that brightened the mood so much."
At least "Hi-Five!" was an enthusiastic song, but the rest of the setlist in the middle of the concert were songs with other types of concepts that were too different.
It was necessary to include a song in the middle of the concert that would make the audience smile.
So I thought that the reaction would be good because it would cause a refreshing atmosphere... but I was surprised because it was much better than I expected.
"...It was fun."
However, there was no time to think further. I have to change and fix my makeup before the VCR ends.
In fact, while everyone was talking to us, I was just moving.
— Yaaa~ Ribbons look so cool!
— They are impressive!
We ran to finish getting ready and the other members, who had been waiting and had already dressed up in advance, praised us.
I accepted their compliments and concentrated on changing. The boys smiled as they checked out our new outfits.
— I already want them to hear this song.
— Me too.
Everyone knew we didn't have much time, so the conversation was cut short.
Uuuuung-
The sliding equipment on the stage in front of me opened and I could see the audience.
Sparkling lights rippled throughout the vast space. Adrenaline rushed at the sight, like in a science fiction movie.
When I heard the wave of screams again, I began to sing the first verse.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
It was the song that we presented in the third Team Battle of Icorpo.
"I like Waiting", by the "Moon Rabbit" team, resounded throughout the stadium.

The Guild
The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse. Gates open periodically, leading to alien worlds, while dungeons form from damaged minds, creating nightmares for the unsuspecting. Some might see it as the end times. A hellscape. A story of humans pushed to their breaking points, desperately grasping for the last bits of humanity as the world crumbles around them. But a few might disagree. One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
