《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 64
Advertisement
It was correct that the videos that Park Moondae watched were taken by me, and at that time the phrase that I attached to the channel while deleting the WeTube fancam account was also the same.
I wrote that because I didn't want to reveal any personal information as to why I really deleted the account.
Then a flash of realization came into my mind.
'Don't tell me that's the reason why the status window pops up...!'
Did the karma come back to me with the game system as an excuse?
'...I don't think I've done anything wrong enough to get me a sudden death.'
Isn't it rather strange to think that there are people who give meaning to the fancams I've nonsensically taken?
Still...this left a bad aftertaste.
If the bizarre flashback I saw earlier is really the 'truth', Park Moondae really had stopped breathing back then and then I woke up.
So, it means that Park Moondae, who lived in this body before, is really dead. Did he do something wrong enough to die like that?
'Hoping that there is someone who would help...is tiring.'
To one's surprise, people are not interested in other people. Except when it comes to swearing at others, of course.
Anyway, the process by which I entered this body... To be honest, it is realistically impossible, but I can see what justification it was made of.
'It was me who Park Moondae felt a sense of emotional solidarity with.'
However, since I deleted the account and took that away from him, an abnormality such as sudden death was included. It doesn't matter whether the person who created the status window did it because they felt sorry for Park Moondae, or because this was a postmortem mechanism.
'I'm sure this guy must be satisfied with this.'

Thanks to this, the person who was filming the fancams you liked became an idol with your body, and will be filmed on fancams as much as you want.
I felt sorry and refreshed at the same time. Even if only half of the situation cleared up, it seems that I could live.
"This is the 7 members ofthat you have invested in! We look forward to your continued support and investment in the future!"
At the words of the MC shouting, the confetti bursts from above.
"Fighting!"
"You've worked hard!"
"Let's do well!"
As the successful participants smiled and exchanged handshakes and hugs, the lights on the broadcast cameras went out.
It was the ending.
One after another, people collapsed down as if their legs had loosened.
Various groups of people appeared on the stage, from successful participants who approached those who were eliminated and exchanged congratulations and consolations to crying participants. And endless waves of cheers and slogans.
I took a breath.
'Now, there are just promotions left...'
Ring.
"..."
Son of a bitch.
If I meet the bastard who made the system, I'm not going to leave them be. Without fail...!

During the moment when Park Moondae was the most angry in his life.
Articles and posts confirming the debut members of were posted on all kinds of social medias and communities.
Despite the slow 3-hour development of , the viewership ratings were updated again in the final episode, and the topic ran wild. Thanks to this both those who watched the broadcast and those who did not watch the show commented on it with excitement.
Naturally there were quite a lot of conversations about Park Moondae's rapid rise to the first place.
Most of them were celebrating, but there were occasionally some people who sarcastically said (he took first place by selling his family history). There was even an article that analyzed the situation.

Of course, as soon as the fans, who were immersed in the emotion of victory, came to their senses, they began to dissect the article like a knife.
While the fans were fighting, the light viewers, who just enjoyed the broadcast without a particularly favorite participant, giggled as they shared their impressions of the last episode.
And in this other side of social media, there was a lot of talk about Park Moondae's choice.
Most were favorable. It was the moment when Park Moon-dae's judgment won.
In the meantime, the malicious fans of the eliminated participants and the antis of the successful candidates leaked subtle messages to somehow drive a wedge between the debut members.
Even if fans tried to block it, there was a limit to it, and the comments that ruined the atmosphere kept coming up. In particular, the attack on Lee Sejin, who barely got the first place benefit at the end, was intense.
Thanks to the numerous reports and blocks, after a few days, the number of swearing directed at the debuting members decreased significantly.
Instead, the the fans' excitement of waiting for the debut members' activities was overflowing here and there.
People who newly entered the idol fandom through the successful audition program waited for their debut album with common sense predictions of hope. And, as is always the case, common sense was a dream, not a hope.
Thanks to this, there was tension between people with deep experience in being an idol fan.
Overall, there was an atmosphere of caution that a large conglomerate without any experience would go crazy with money and career and use it in vain.
Fortunately, right when people were about to get tired, new shiny content popped out.
TeStar's official social media account was opened. The photo attached to the first post showed TeStar members sitting as a group and smiling in a living room.
It clearly looked like they were in a new dormitory since they dressed freely and looked comfortable in the picture.
The fans were greatly relieved by just one social media post. In an instant, TeStar's social media followers and the amount of shares began to run in thousands of units per minute. People enjoyed the posted picture at a nano level.
Since the group was formed through an audition, there were still a lot more people who mentioned only their favorite members. The members who had a lot of team battles together received a favorable impression.
However, depending on the result, the group they liked in the first place was slightly divided.
With full of excitement and anticipation, while holding some elements of anxiety at the same time, TeStar seemed to be starting their full-fledged activities. And the people involved were already facing these elements of anxiety.
* * *
"Huu"
How did I get into the dormitory? I held my breath as I entered the hallway. When I think of the fact that the group accommodation contract went slow during the lethargic week-long conflict between companies, I sighed. Of course, I didn't make it obvious. It was a field of cameras from here to the bedroom.
"Hey! I really love it!"
"It's cool!"
"Wow..."
We started with our reality show contract.
//TN: Sorry, I didn't really put in much effort translating this chapter because the parts with internet comments are kinda confusing to me. They use a lot of internet slang that I don't always understand so I just really roughly translated it in a way that would kinda make sense since they aren't super relevant to the plot.
