《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 79
Advertisement
As social media was buzzing with the reviews of the fansign event, due to the late malicious accounts that were caught up in social media after TeStar's fansign event, some of Park Moondae's fans suffered from PTSD.
The antis tried to incite public opinion against Park Moondae by giving arguments with cleverly twisted logic in all kinds of internet communities.
The main arguments were 'selfish for preparing a gift alone', 'stingy cost-effectiveness barely made with lollipops' and 'useless attention-seeking with fansign items'.
Of course, there were hardly any places where that logic worked properly, but just defending against them would consume mental energy. Since if a fan starts to emotionally come out, that would be used against them.
When bafflement turned into exhaustion.
There was a notification on TeStar's account.
Attached were Park Moondae's selfies, wearing each fansign items he received. Looking at the background, he seemed to be in the car.
That was not the end.
An additional notification popped up immediately.
Pictures of other members with a similar concept were also uploaded one after another.
They even exchanged the fansign items they received and took care of the new ones. It was puzzling how well the photos were compositioned and professionally taken.
Another post was uploaded before the fandom could respond to the sudden treat.
It was a post with Keun Sejin's selfie holding a V under his chin while Park Moondae was seen in the background opening a package. It could be clearly seen that the package contained colorful lollipops.
That's right. In the first place, Park Moondae didn't make the plans by himself.
This is because he was wary of orchestrating anything alone since TeStar fandom still consisted of individual fandoms.
And, of course, the first person he invited to do this was Keun Sejin, who was full of confidence at the fansign event.
Fans were instantly blown away.
//TN: ChaRaeMoonKeun = Cha Yujin, Raebin, Moondae, Keun Sejin
And Park Moondae's fans felt at ease.
Now, no matter what kind of bullshit comes out, it can just be beaten and kicked out.
In this way, without needing to say anything more, the comments disappeared with a 'This comment has already been deleted'.
Fans were able to sleep sweetly with their hearts refreshed after running excitedly on social media until the fansign event the next day.
And in that festive atmosphere, a huge conflict came to many people.
The agency announced a schedule for an additional fansign event with a reasoning that this is an opportunity that should not be missed.
Some time later, no one knew yet that the additional fansign copies, which rose to 180 copies, would make everyone scream, regardless of whether they got the fansign ticket.

Rattle.
I woke up to my body moving. I heard a hoarse voice in front of me.
"...Hmh, did we arrive?"
"Not yet. There's a bit more."
"Okay..."
A conversation between the sleepy Ryu Chungwoo and the manager passed by.
'...That's right.'
We were on the move now.
I felt like I was going to fall asleep again after I stopped thinking for a while, so I moved my body.
First I turned on the smartphone.
'It's been... two and a half hours since we began to move.'
This schedule was really amazing. I stroked my throbbing head.
'I was relieved that there was no pre-recordings this week but instead we're filming a variety show at dawn?'
I never imagined that I would have to go all the way to Gyeongsang-do. Thanks to this, I couldn't even touch the settlement for the fansign event yesterday.
'Should I post something?'
After pondering over it and accessing the TeStar account, I uploaded some group photos taken at the dorms.
'...Hmm, is that too much?'
Looking at it, I wonder how does it matter if we're wearing pajamas.
Many people ask idols to share some TMI, but they often get disappointed when they get it, so you had to carefully choose the information to share.
'I'll look at the reactions and adjust.'
As soon as I finished uploading, there was a sign of activity next to me.
"Uhmmm..."
Seon Ahyun opened his eyes while half-asleep and got startled when his eyes met mine, who was completely awake.
"...! Did we arrive?"
"No."
"Oh..."
"Sleep more."
After saying that, I also closed my eyes again.
There were still two hours left until we arrived, so I was going to sleep a little more.
Because of Seon Ahyun's personality, I knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if the person next to him was awake.
"..."
But when I opened my eyes, we had already reached the destination. Fatigue took over me.
In addition, unexpected demands awaited.
"A blindfold?"
"Yes. It's important to get your reactions when you find out what kind of job you will experience for a day."
"Hmm, I understand~"
The manager came forward and organized it, so I had no choice but to wear the blindfold. In the meantime, it was thoroughly blocked so that the outside could not be seen.
It doesn't really matter, but when the other sleepy guys were putting on the blindfold, some of them didn't seem to be able to think straight.
Cha Yujin, who was about to doze off again, only came to his senses after being stabbed in his side.

"Ugh...ah!"
"Come on, let's go!"
Like that, we clumsily moved following the production team's instructions.
"Take off your blindfolds now~"
"Yes!"
After removing the blindfold I saw the Gwanggyeongwen Lake and the plains.
"...??"
'What's this?'
Of course, I wasn't the only one confused.
"...I'm awake, right?"
"Where is this?"
Before we could say anything more, a movable banner appeared in front of TeStar brought out by the staff.
The colourful, iridescent bird painting fluttered.
"...???"
The underlined clear Gothic font flashed.
"...??"
When I turned my head, even Lee Sejin was looking at the banner with his mouth open. It looked like he couldn't accept the situation.
And before anyone could say anything, a kind-looking elderly man appeared with a smile.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Kim Jeongwon, a bird researcher!"
"Ah, hello!"
"Hello!"
Wherever their survival show filming experience had gone, everyone came back to their senses in an instant and bowed.
'...I'm wide awake.'
But there were still faces that didn't understand the situation.
The bird researcher smiled and asked for a handshake.
"I heard that you're going to experience bird research here today~"
"Yes? Yes. That it's a one-day job experience..."
"Yes, that's right. Let's do the basic work of a bird researcher today with me~"
"A bird research...?!"
When an unimaginable job popped up, everyone was puzzled. But the bird researcher didn't even care.
"Oh, they are very charming friends. We're going to have time to observe them more closely today."
"Oh..."
"I'm going to film a migratory bird!"
"Heok."
Cameras were distributed in an instant. TeStar came to their senses only after accepting the items that the staff had brought along the banner.
"Ah, Aah!"
"Birds are nice!"
"I'll do my best!"
The bird researcher laughed happily.
"Haha! These friends are young, so they have a lot of energy~"
"Hahaha!"
Finally, a harmonious laugh erupted. Seon Ahyun seemed relieved and spoke with a slightly excited face.
"I-it seems kind of fun..."
"That's right. Moondae, you're good at taking pictures too!"
"..."
These guys... obviously don't know.
However, I checked the camera and managed to change my answer.
"...It will be enjoyable."
"Haha, that's right!"
Yes, indeed, it will be worthwhile...
I recalled the teary story I heard from a senior in my club, whose name I couldn't remember.
"..."
I'm already worried about whether these guys will be able to make a sane appearance on the afternoon music show.
"Hahaha! Then let's move!"
"Yes!"
The laughter of the bird researcher sounded like a college professor who was slowly seizing a master's degree. TeStar, like undergraduates who didn't know anything, moved along with the researcher.
"Wow, the weather is nice!"
"It's bright now because the sun is up early."
I silently moved my feet, listening to the conversation of those who would be desperate for shade soon.
And we kept moving.
...and moving.
"...?"
Among those bewildered by the never-ending march, Ryu Chungwoo took the lead.
"Sir?"
"Yes?"
"Um, how much longer do we have to move?"
The bird researcher smiled brightly.
"Haha! You have to walk until you see a migratory bird!"
"...!"
"Oh~ By any chance, can you tell when we would be able to see it?"
Keun Sejin quickly chimed in. The bird researcher waved his hand.
"Ohhoh~ I'd be a god if I knew that~"
"...!!"
Just before the people who slowly figured out the situation froze, Keun Sejin quickly opened his mouth again.
"As expected, right? In that case, I'm so lucky to have a god protecting me here that I hope to see one soon~ Haha! Right?"
It was a sign to not ruin the atmosphere in the variety shows and to just laugh.
"Ahaha!"
"You're right."
The atmosphere was forced back to be friendly. And the march continued again.
Trudge, trudge.
Endless reservoirs and greens followed.
If we kept walking like this, it would become an experience documentary rather than a variety show.
Fortunately, Keun Sejin constantly talked to the bird researcher and pulled out the content. Since he was bubbly, the conversation continued well as it was perfect for the elderly's taste.
"That's why they're so skinny in the summer."
"Ah~ Then the pictures we see on the internet are not the ones in summer!"
Thanks to this, I was able to move while only reacting.
'You're paying for the meal...'
However, no matter what they talk about, I don't know what portion would come out when the answer returned to a conversation about Korean crow-tits.
And at some point.
The bird researcher raised his arm.
"Do you see the willow over there?" There's a bird!"
"Ooh!"
"Wow!"
At the thought that the march was finally over, everyone's faces brightened in an instant. Cha Yujin openly tried to run towards it.
"Ah, you can't get too close! The bird will run away!"
"Oh, yes..."
The bird researcher smiled softly and grabbed Cha Yujin's shoulder, who was trying to walk carefully again.
"Now, let's sit down and then move."
"..."
After a while.
Everyone began to do squat walks towards the shore.
'What kind of training camp experience is this?'
I think I can see why the first episode of this variety show was ruined.
