Soon after, the part in question began to appear on the monitoring screen.

The members including me pulled out their in-ears. And then next.

'...I hope the slipping doesn't stand out too much.'

Seon Ahyun did such a great job that I wondered if he practiced that, but how the before and after were captured was another matter.

But it was a needless worry.

"...!"

"Wow."

This was because Seon Ahyun doing a back-tumble with two people on either side holding his back looked like a completely intentional performance.

'Is it a matter of skill level?'

It was unbelievable that he did it without practice.

The impression of the mid-air move was so powerful that the slipping before that seemed to be part of the action.

The fact that the floor was dark, so people couldn't see the in-ears caught on his feet also played a part.

In addition, thanks to the front film cut that caught the entire choreography, it was hard to see the surprised expressions.

Originally, the choreography for that part had to stop for a moment and the close-up had to be included to make it fit... Let's move on.

'Anyway, it turned out well.'

It was the best result. Keun Sejin whistled.

"Ooh~ Ahyun improvising~"

"It was cool!"

Seon Ahyun's face turned red.

"You are really amazing! Did you prepare this move in advance in case something like this happened?"

"I-it's not like that. J-just... I s-shouldn't fall so I tried...!"

"You were great!"

Seon Ahyun couldn't hide his joy with his face blushing at the continuous praises.

Hmm, I should also compliment him first.

"It came out as if it was intentional. I think it looks cooler than our original choreography."

"...! I-it's not to that extent... but th-thank you. I'll work harder...!"

"Let's applause~"

The members applauded.

When even some of the staff around us laughed and pretended to follow along, Seon Ahyun's face became worked up with embarrassment and pride.

'Let's enjoy it more.'

I deliberately spent a little more time in the waiting room.

Then after the situation calmed down I talked to Seon Ahyun.

"Seon Ahyun."

"H-huh?"

"I'm really grateful that you fixed things up earlier, but I think it will be fine if you don't go that far in the future."

Seon Ahyun's face immediately turned pale.

"W-why...?"

His reaction was more sensitive than I expected. I thought he would be okay after receiving a lot of compliments.

'I should choose my words well.'

"Because you could seriously get hurt. I think it's too dangerous to improvise like that."

Then Ryu Chungwoo, who had a complicated expression, finally spoke up.

"Yes, Ahyun-ah, I'm really grateful that you did so well but... let's be careful of injuries. If you hit your head first, it could be really serious."

As he retired due to the aftereffects of the injury, he seemed to have been concerned about this as well.

"I-I'm sorry."

Seon Ahyun replied in a trembling voice. It seemed that the feeling of self-doubt raised its head when the feeling of excitement disappeared. Ryu Chungwoo was flustered.

"You don't have to apologize! Ahyun-ah, I'm just saying this because I'm worried."

Keun Sejin, who was watching the situation, intervened.

"Um~ Would it be like that? Ahyun majored in dance~ He must have been certain about his body first before doing it~ Right?"

"Y-yeah."

I didn't think so.

Seon Ahyun tended to overdo it in a self-destructive way when under pressure. Perhaps in this case too he thought that he had to deal with it, so he did not consider the risk and made the coolest move he could think of.

However, it was time to appease him. After thinking about it, I opened my mouth.

"...Of course, this time you did better than I imagined. It's just that I was worried for you... It's good to stay healthy for a long time."

"...! Y-ye-yeah! I-I'll be careful!"

"Okay."

Fortunately, Seon Ahyun focused on the fact that I was 'worried', the code seemed to have gone over with emotion. It was fortunate that he was the type to be impressed by trivial interpersonal relationships.

However, this time Bae Sejin apologized to the group members with a dark expression.

'What's up with you again?'

"...Sorry. It's because I dropped the in-ear."

I thought it would be like this.

"That's an accident! Sejin, you must have been surprised, but you finished it well."

"That's right. Since the adjustment was wrong it was completely because of luck."

"Hyung, the in-ear was strange. Not hyung, but in-ear apologize!"

"Th-that's right! In-ear apologize..."

Puzzled, Seon Ahyeon tried to chime in but got caught up in Cha Yujin's grammatical error.

And Keun Sejin, who seemed to become annoyed by this flow, cut off the conversation.

"Haha, why don't we just congratulate each other on how well things were handled and then move on? It ended well, but why is the atmosphere like this?"

That's true.

Ryu Chungwoo smiled and talked.

"Yeah, everyone did a great job today! Let's take care of ourselves and do better in the future. 5 years is a long time."

"Oho~ Hyung-nim, aren't you going to renew the contract with us? 10 years, let's do it for 10 years~"

"Haha! That's true. Let's do well for 10 years!"

"Yes!"

"I like that!"

While Bae Sejin didn't say anything to those frightening words, the group members ended the conversation with self-congratulations.

And I was satisfied too.

'Anyway, the performance was good.'

I wanted to end the responses on the internet with this. Perhaps it could come to a conclusion that 'as expected, TeStar is good at performing'.

I prepared to go to the ending stage with such anticipation. It was a group performance with elderly singers.

"This is my grandmother's favorite song!"

Let me just say that Kim Raebin was especially excited.

And close to midnight, after the broadcast was over.

The public opinion on the Internet, which I checked after getting in the car, was quite interesting.

* * *

The reaction immediately after TeStar's KBC performance was well received as expected by Park Moondae.

The attempts of belittling were neatly blocked. It was completely secured.

However, what Park Moondae did not expect was that the responses to them pulling out the in-ear was good.

Very much so, too.

Most of the scenes clearly captured on camera were of TeStar members grabbing and pulling out the in-ear.

Since it was the chorus part of 'Airplane', the members were captured evenly.

And the fans had a fun and comfortable time after a long time.

Fans were more than happy for this atmosphere where no quarreling or sarcastic remarks appeared.

It was around that time that people watching the performance video noticed something strange.

At first, it was fan accounts for discussions about the editing of video materials.

In an instant, fans began to analyze the details of the video.

And it wasn't long before that the cause of the problem was discovered.

The news of the upset fans soon spread to the general entertainment community.

The opinions of 'yes or no' had become rampant in social media and related community pages.

And interestingly, right after that, there was a real-time communication window with TeStar.

It was TeStar's W Live.

After the controversy over the Rookie of the Year award, real-time communication began with a grand title.
