If you can’t debut, you’ll die from an illness Episode 571
It’s no different from everyday life that Testa holds a meeting every time something happens and tries to solve it.
Now, it means that all the members are skilled enough not to be surprised when something happens.
“yes? Oh meeting. yes.”
So, as soon as the schedule was over, we calmly gathered in the living room without anyone panicking about the meeting or asking questions.
Although there were times when Keun Se-jin looked at people as if they were a little admirable.
“Is that why Moondaemundae’s face was so bad? But I’ll tell you right now.”
If you know, let’s move on quickly.
…Being calm doesn’t mean that you can’t accept the seriousness.
After hearing the full story of the incident, their faces soon became serious.
“…hmm. so…The downtrend image is the problem.”
“okay.”
No matter what you choose from your next album, your fandom and popularity will suffer.
It could be a signal flare of an out of control downward flow.
Kim Rae-bin’s face darkened.
“Because I lack skills….”
“No, absolutely not.”
When I heard about the album, I knew this guy would do this.
Kim Rae-bin’s dark expression disappeared only after he heard the explanation in detail, “It was rather twisted because it worked well.”
Instead, he thought deeply and finally said:
“There is a saying that extremely well-made things are beyond taste! If so, I will work harder and write a new song that can satisfy both the public and lovers!”
“Oh, he’s like this again.”
“Kim Raebin is an idiot.”
“…?!”
I put both hands on Kim Rae-bin’s shoulders.
“Listen, Rabin.”
“yes!”
“You are a genius.”
“…!?”
“And your songs were always so good that it was nonsensical.”
Except for a few slumps, he was a crazy talent with no weaknesses in terms of quality and speed.
‘Honestly, without this guy, the work would have been several times more difficult.’
It means that the songs made by Raebin Kim so far have not been of a lower level.
“However, a good song does not necessarily become a mega hit. It’s a matter of timing or luck.”
“that….”
“Well, what you said is 100% right! Even if this isn’t necessarily a song, it’s a word that goes universally in many places~ right bro?”
“uh?”
Bae Se-jin seemed a little taken aback by Se-jin’s words, but soon nodded calmly.
“…that’s right. There is a movie that I enjoyed the most among the ones I appeared in when I was young, but it didn’t do well at the box office.”
“ah….”
“So it wouldn’t be possible to make something like that artificially.”
Rabin Kim nodded slightly.
Yes.
No matter how well you make it and how hard you put in the promotion, a trend that satisfies everyone cannot be deliberately produced.
‘It’s best to set a target group and catch them.’
Then, sometimes luck and timing are right and everyone likes it.
Cha Yoo-jin, who was listening to the story, shrugged.
“I don’t know. Why do you only make one song? Why can’t we make both?”
“huh?”
“We can do both difficult and easy things Double title!”
“ah.”
double title.
It’s not about making one perfect song that satisfies everyone, it’s about diversifying investments and targeting both the public and the fandom.
The reason this doesn’t happen is simple.
“There is no time.”
To make it a double title, just think of it as doubling what we’re doing now.
‘No, it’s added unilaterally, so if you think about adjusting the schedule, it will cost more than twice as much.’
The choreography, costume and concept music video should be filmed one more time to achieve perfection that does not create a sense of incongruity with other double titles.
Then what will happen?
“With a double title, you might have to release your next album later than scheduled, let alone release it sooner.”
In the end, the leak of the fandom is left unattended for a longer period of time.
The premise itself of ‘acting quickly to prevent the fandom from escaping’ is inconsistent.
Of course, I could have tried to meet the deadline somehow.
“You work a lot fast! We’re all hard-working people.”
It’s changing our bodies.
To be honest, I am a person who is attracted to this word.
but….
“Then, if you go to the goal due to overwork, who will be responsible?”
It will be more work intensity than anything you’ve ever experienced.
The schedule isn’t easy right now, but if I put in double the work here, I didn’t know if a guy who really collapsed would come out.
‘I can’t do that.’
…In the long run, the health of this group will also need to be taken care of.
From the other side of the hill, Liu Qingyu could be seen smiling slightly.
Are you proud? okay. what…It’s good.
Cha Yoo-jin also nodded softly, as if he had accepted….
“OK. Consider your age.”
“….”
Sejin Bae opened his mouth.
“you…I won’t bring candy from now on.”
“What?!”
While ignoring Cha Yoo-jin, who was shocked by the fact that she could no longer suck on the handmade candy sent by Bae Se-jin’s mother, the members fell into their own troubles.
“then…Should I leave it to chance?”
The guy’s face didn’t like it, probably because it was an overly defeatist idea for Sejin to accept.
And the faces of the other members were also a little shaken. It’s because I’ve never heard a comfortable sound like ‘let’s leave it to luck’ until now.
Meanwhile, Seon Ah-hyun raised her hand slightly.
“I’d rather…How about explaining this activity directly to the fans?”
“hmm?”
“W app or…You can also post a letter on social media.”
Sun Ah-hyun’s proposal was, in the end, this.
-It wasn’t made by each of us! I also caught the activity in a hurry!
-If you thought that we would go less vigorously because our passion has cooled, you are all wrong!
Let’s break this down and be honest.
What process did we go through to get this done in two weeks, and how did we rush to prepare for promotions after this song suddenly went well?
It is to carefully explain and convince the fans.
“If you tell me what process we went through and how we worked like this…I thought you would be relieved.”
“And are we preparing for the album step by step according to schedule?”
“yes…!”
Seon Ah-hyun’s words were straight forward.
There were problems, though.
I rubbed my chin.
‘I don’t think you can believe it.’
If I did it right now, it seemed desperate, so it was counterproductive. If you think that these guys are trying to explain because they are scared, your credibility will fall and your image will suffer.
-Stop it… It’s too late to make excuses,
so the empathy level is coming
. It’s a little embarrassing. I just had to bring the next album, but
…
It was difficult.
Now is the time to choose everything carefully and restore the image well.
And there was no need to cruelly explain this.
“Hmm, to be honest, I want to follow Ahyeon’s opinion, but…. If you want to speak naturally, you have to do it in passing, right? Then I don’t think it will get much attention.”
“ah…!”
“Of course, those who listen will be able to convince them, but we are perfect for more people now! I have to make an impression.”
The big Sejin passed the words skillfully. Sun Ah-hyun nodded her head firmly with an understanding face.
“Yes. Then, after all, it’s better to show it with clear actions… !”
“yes.”
however…I still don’t know how to release this guy’s album.
“…I can’t even postpone the album at all. hmm. I have to reassure the fans.”
“Hmm.”
Whether the album was released or delayed, no matter which concept was chosen, risks and losses were unavoidable.
There was a brief silence between the men clutching their heads.
And Bae Se-jin clenched his fist.
“How about just ignoring everything and preparing hard? This…It’s not about taking chances, it’s about just trusting the way we used to.”
“brother….”
At Bae Se-jin’s words, Kim Rae-bin blinked as if he was slightly moved.
And the big Sejin also looked at the guy with melancholy eyes.
“That sounds great, but…Isn’t this the way we’ve been doing so far? Strategize hard.”
“…uh?”
that…yes.
“Hyung, this attitude of trying to analyze the situation fiercely and respond! Wouldn’t this be my best testa?”
“that…Hmm, it seems like that.”
Bae Se-jin looked a bit dazed, but eventually nodded.
Persuasion was successful among people with the same name who were not compatible. It was a rare scene.
“And more and more, the industry stimulates people’s interest in more stimulating ways. Same with Haloheim this time.”
“Halo Heim?”
“It’s a group that writes love reality as its own content, and it’s number one on the music chart right now.”
“what?”
Big Sejin explained what bizarre marketing methods the mixed group used.
And he said in a firm voice to the astonished Bae Se-jin, “Why are entertainment agencies becoming more and more immoral like this?”
“Our competitor is risking his life on marketing like that.”
“….”
“Well, it could be that we were walking alone on a well-made single road, and then one day people recognized us and we ran in the opposite direction…It’s too precious for that. This is our environment now.”
At those serious words, some guys nodded their heads.
“I see what you mean.”
Bae Se-jin also became serious.
It was to shake my head.
“But I don’t want to promote our album that way.”
I thought we agreed, but we don’t.
Even Seon Ah-hyun opened her mouth with a somewhat firm face.
“I…me too.”
“….”
“I can’t help it if I have to, but…It seems a bit strange. It feels like cheating the fans.”
“…okay.”
Sejin Keun did not insist further and skillfully took out his opinion.
“In the first place, we didn’t mean to use it that way either. Let’s consider using a somewhat bizarre and stimulating method.”
“Yes.”
“…okay. know.”
Bae Se-jin also nodded.
Now, it might be hard to see those two fighting like dogs while shouting ‘why do you have that way of thinking?’.
That was a good thing.
‘Yeah but… .’
The purpose of the meeting remains unfulfilled.
No matter how much I proceeded, no sharp numbers came out.
I rubbed my chin.
No matter what you do, it’s either one or the other, and no matter how you release an album, you lose… ….
“….”
wait for a sec.
‘album?’
I felt sparks flickering in my head.
“Why did you only think of it as an album?”
“uh?”
“It doesn’t have to be an album.”
Yes.
From activities to the next regular album.
Since the cause and process of all these things are related to the active period, I naturally thought of only the album that made the active period as a countermeasure.
But in fact, it’s not just activities that Testa can show something with an album and make a comeback.
“How many large-scale contents have we made other than albums so far?”
In-house content, concert tour, and even a collaboration game.
Big Sejin snapped his fingers.
“Oh yes! We can show a new and intense stage in the content that fans watch a lot!”
“…!”
The atmosphere of the meeting changed in response.
“That’s right! If you make it well, all the fans will see it… ….”
“Ohhhhhh!”
“But isn’t it a bit more informal than an album?”
“That’s the best part.”
I grinned.
“It has nothing to do with sexuality.”
“…!!”
An indicator that attracts attention well is that you can do as strong a concept as you want without considering the music rankings or album sales.
“In the first place, it is the content that fans mainly watch. The general public doesn’t care as much.”
Maybe Testa passed by without even knowing it came out like that.
There is no reason to be disappointed that it is not an easy-listening song that the public is currently expecting, and there is nothing to compare it to Epic’s digital music rankings!
“…And, by any chance, it was good enough to become a hot topic even if it received attention from the public?”
“Yes.”
this is the correct answer
When I was able to answer all the questions, my head was spinning.
I turned my gaze to the group leader with an adrenaline rush.
Ryu Cheng-wu opened his mouth.
“What is the content closest to our schedule?”
***
After some time.
At the end of the broadcasting of the programs Testa filmed as activities, a video was uploaded to their official WeTube.
But this time no one was surprised.
[202X TeSTAR ‘HUNT or BE HUNTED’ WORLD TOUR TRAILER]
This was because the fans already knew all about it.
Testa’s tour resumes.
-The kids’ tour is starting again
. Since it’s a FMO video
– Eng Tour has a new sub too Hunt All Be Hunted?
Fans clicked on the video, puzzled by the details.
I guessed that it was released now because the schedule was pushed back.
[Hello.]
The video, as always, was gorgeous.
The previous title song < Hunt > was arranged somewhat elegantly and more intensely, and while passing by, a few props from a classic hotel passed by.
Golden doorbell ornate lobby metal key vintage telephone.
‘Is old travel a concept?’
And a close-up of the black and white upper body of the members wearing suits interspersed!
However, because the face was shaded, the face could not be seen properly.
‘….’
There wasn’t enough stimulation.
‘There’s nothing really new.’
The 32-second video was just a formal introduction to the tour trailer concept.
But the last 5 seconds.
It was the moment when the beautiful exterior of the hotel was illuminated and the title ‘HUNT or BE HUNTED’ popped up in line with the final melody of the arranged < Hunting >.
Suddenly, a soft color appeared in the building, and BGM arranged in a classical style began to flow.
‘…?’
and.
[- > Enters the hotel.]
[- > Leaves.]
‘…!’
options popped up.
