《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 151

Advertisement

I scrolled down a bit.

'It's already popped out.'

The aggro I had already expected since the first week's filming aired, started rampaging on the Internet.

'They usually lightly sound it out first.'

As if they were complimenting.

'Found it.'

I clicked on the post.

Usually, these kinds of set-ups would be quickly dispelled by fans but the situation now was slightly different.

This was because the popularity of the show had just reached its peak, and ordinary viewers, who did not know about the idol fan base, openly responded favorably.

It looked good, but the fact that it was clearly better than usual was a problem.

'It's good to be used as firewood.'

That was when this was posted later.

In such a post, the reaction screenshot of the 'Park Moondae going solo' post was well put together and uploaded.

And the main thing was the attitude controversy.

'...It's still uncomfortable.'

I knew that the contents filmed when I was in a bad condition would someday become prey. This post was a prime example that used it well.

But honestly, it was not general public opinion that was being aimed at here.

'Bluntly speaking, whether I go solo or not isn't a big problem.'

Rather, it would be better for them to mock me for getting bad scores if I really went solo, but right now, I was most likable and was getting a lot of support.

This is how it was.

The comments became longer because of the fights and were categorized as popular posts but public opinion couldn't be changed. Therefore, what they were aiming for here was... to create discord within the TeStar fandom.

It was to strain the atmosphere of the fandom that liked the group itself and create space for malicious fans of individual members to comfortably disturb and keep each other in check.

So another argument was brought up here.

It was the fact that the airing date of Park Moondae's second filming of was on the same day as TeStar's first anniversary.

I would have rearranged the schedule had I known thatwould have such a good response.

'...I just wanted to give something reasonably entertaining to fans.'

Who would have thought that it would become more of a hot topic than the group's first anniversary? I thought it would become a double celebration.

In any case, if more time passed with this, the flow of the controversy would become strengthened. It would incite skepticism about the group's activity itself.

If the first anniversary was so important, there was no way each member would post a message asking to go separately from the day after the first anniversary.

'So the ones posting these aren't fans of the whole group in the first place.'

Of course, TeStar has shaken off the fact that we were from a survival show group that received individual votes. Meaning that our identity as a group had solidified a lot through the album's visions and various contents.

However, there were still quite a few fans of individual members, and if things were shaken up like this, there would definitely be people who got swayed.

...That being said, this was a known topic for everyone who was interested in it.

Therefore, obviously, preparing countermeasures would be the basic behavior for a member of society.

I changed the smartphone screen to a phone call screen.

"Yes, hello. ...Yes. Thank you. It's nothing unusual but I would like to ask for something."

After a brief conversation with the company, I talked to the person sitting next to me.

"Raebin-ah."

"Yes?"

Kim Raebin, who was preoccupied with listening to his own song, looked back in surprise.

"The interview, they said we'll go right in the evening."

It was as scheduled.

"Ah!"

At that moment, Kim Raebin's face brightened. Well, he still looked menacing, though.

"It's a very meaningful interview, so I'm already looking forward to it!"

"Me too."

I leaned my back against the backrest.

This kind of thing didn't even bother me.

From the outside, Park Moondae's popularity was still rising due to 'Groom of May', but inside the fandom, it was an evening for the aggro to go rampant.

An interview appeared on WeTube.

It was an interview content run by a WeTube channel under MBS, which was a broadcasting channel that produced .

In the thumbnail, there was Park Moondae... and Kim Raebin.

'Kim Raebin?'

'Both of them...?'

Those, who clicked a little flustered by the sudden appearance of another member, soon learned the whole story.

First, a heartwarming and obvious story about how Kim Raebin gave advice to Park Moondae on the arrangements in each round came out.

The main point was after that.

His talking was quickly fast-forwarded as it was difficult to withstand it. It was also a way for fans to acknowledge it.

And a large caption appeared.

Anyway, the delivery of the content was clear. The song 'Groom of May' sung in the finals was composed by a member of TeStar.

In other words, it was an unreleased self-composed song.

If so, why was this song unreleased?

That's right.

The song in question, 'The Eve of Flower', was one of the songs in TeStar's next album.

//TN: It's the word 'eve' as in Christmas eve or New year's eve. To be specific, the original Korean word is 'geumeum' '그믐' which means 'the last day of the lunar month'

In short, he sang the song to also promote the group album.

The subtitles burst into laughter at Park Moondae's struggle.

The interview was conducted in a light and humorous way without being too rude, and a proper personal conversation was also drawn out.

Actually, this part wasn't even intended by Park Moondae.

It was just a question that was put in to reassure people who might have been worried for a month, but it became an additional jackpot.

Anyway, the cast and the interviewer, who shook off the topic casually, continued to exchange questions and answers, and the short 12-minute interview video ended.

The interview ended with Park Moondae smiling and holding the marriage registration form.

And at the same time, articles popped up here and there.

Half of those were prepared, and half were responses to the interview.

Naturally, the news of the comeback quickly drew the fans' attention.

To top it off, TeStar uploaded photos of their first-anniversary party to their account.

It was to show off, 'it wasn't even a scheduled event, but we are close enough to prepare a cake for the first anniversary by ourselves and eat it together'.

Since the teaser for the interview was posted on social media quite early, it became unreasonable to keep biting and saying 'they're doing this as an excuse to stop the controversy'.

The controversy, which was initially like a typhoon in a teacup, was quickly subsided by people who were excited about the comeback news.

As Park Moondae predicted, the buzz about 'Groom of May' was not consumed much and got smoothly connected to TeStar's comeback.

And Park Moondae, the person involved in all this, was in the middle of a new schedule.

"Long time no see, hoobae-nim."
