If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 155
It was obvious what the agency of Gold 1 was thinking.
‘You’re saying that you won’t be able to win first place anyway, so you won’t be able to make an impact.’
Anyway, that group had a hard time winning first place no matter how good the song was.
Even if you took a good eye print with your debut song, it means that it was popular among those who are interested in idols.
Male idols who are not from the big 3 companies. Low public awareness.
It means that there are a lot of people who don’t even try to listen to these guys’ songs.
‘So it’s worth making a frame.’
It would have been beneficial for these guys to connect with Testa somehow.
While emphasizing that they are from the same Azusa area, they will do their best to find the composition of Testa’s rival challenger by playing the media like it is similar to the composition at the time of Vtic-Testa’s simultaneous activities.
It’s a move worth throwing even if it gets some glare from Testa’s fans and some checks.
As there are many people who try to scratch Testa somehow, they will be supported on the contrary.
Of course, it will end with a laugh if it’s not very good.
‘…You seem to have some confidence in your song.’
From the time of Choi Won-gil until now, the company’s skills have been excellent.
It would have been nice if my agency had been a bit more uptight, but judging from my experience so far, let’s be thankful for the present, where even a payment bot sits down without a choice.
Jiying.
At that time, a pop-up appeared on the smartphone screen and vibrated.
…They said that even a tiger would come if I said it, and it was a message from Gold 1.
[Guys, our activities overlap!]
[Hmmmm, I’ll see you on a music broadcast, seniors.]
“….”
The child… He’s a good guy.
Perhaps, even if he vaguely noticed the situation, he would not have thought that this would cause any damage to Testa.
I would be grateful and somewhat embarrassed.
‘I can’t ignore it anyway.’
Right now, Testa’s social position was too superior to Gold 1.
The moment one of the Testa members shows discomfort to Gold 1, that agency seems to be excited and hastily attached an image of ‘splitting people in a hurry’.
‘Should I just skip this activity?’
Anyway, after this season, I will go to the picture of capturing another suitable group and winning. After raising the class, you have to show the taste of victory because the narrative is beautiful.
Besides, honestly… I was confident in Testa’s album this time.
‘Well made.’
I don’t just talk about the degree of perfection, but I think that the charm as an idol activity has been sufficiently worked on.
First of all, the response to the teaser that was released right away was extremely good as expected.
‘It seems to be a career high.’
I had a strong feeling of foreboding.
I predicted the results of this activity by replying to Gold 1’s message that was posted in the group message room.
and after a few days
I heard the good news in the waiting room before I even started pre-recording for my first music show.
“850,000 copies?”
“okay! You guys hit the jackpot!”
I already passed the Initial Chodong of the previous album on the 4th day.
If we roughly lean on trends and convert future sales… It meant that there was a very high chance that the Initial Chodong number would exceed 1 million.
‘It’s Tier 1.’
Now, it has really reached a level that can be placed in the top four or five of the male idol groups in Korea.
The members who reached that point seemed to be at the level of a big fan, but the rest of them were also happy enough.
“oh my god….”
“If I dare to speculate, I think overseas sales will have increased! As this concept is very traditional, it appeals to the existing K-pop preference… ….”
“The album is great! So yes!”
I was a little excited and went into a collective monologue, but it soon went to the side of fighting.
“Let’s do a great job on our comeback stage and show why our album is so popular.”
“Ohhh!!”
“That is an excellent word~”
“I want to show you a wonderful image…!”
You are full of enthusiasm. It was a good atmosphere to come out right before the stage recording.
“ah! Testa shows something today!”
“let’s go!”
‘It almost became an official slogan.’
As the frequency increased, they shouted slogans that were not even embarrassing and went up to the recording site.
Aaaaaaaaa!
A familiar shout was heard.
It was a pre-recording for a music show that felt like a long time ago.
* * *
‘This album is unusual.’
Homma Park Mun-dae tried to calm her mind.
But it was hard. The metrics were so good… !
‘What’s wrong with overseas orders!’
It was a joyful scream.
And the metric wasn’t just album sales.
After Testa became quite a hot topic in the overseas K-pop community through an American talk show, the number of SNS followers of Park Moon-dae’s hometown increased at a faster rate than usual.
Then, after this comeback, the number of shares attached to Park Moon-dae’s photos almost doubled.
The number of views of Witube’s various testa sales contents also jumped with English subtitles by users or humorous videos made in English by fans.
And above all… ….
‘Music video views have increased dramatically… …
It passed 10 million views in 26 hours.
It was not yet at the level of a male idol in the same weight class in Korea, but it was still encouraging.
Even word of mouth, the rate of increase in views was still considerable. At the same time, the number of teaser views is also increasing.
‘It seemed so.’
When Homma recalled the music video for the title track of this album, ‘A Parade’, her heart was filled with excitement.
‘It’s really the best.’
It was a pity that Ryu Chung-woo, not Park Moon-dae, was the center of the music video, but the music video itself came out very well.
‘Ryu Chung-wu is going to come up quite a bit this time??’
Now, there is no need to compare rankings between individuals, but Homma, like a habit, prepared to cheer while thinking about that.
‘Coming soon!’
Long strings printed with album cover patterns were tied in various shapes to light sticks that could be seen here and there.
It was a mini daenggi for decorating light sticks that was included as an album reservation privilege.
Since the light stick looks like a pure magic wand, it seemed like an accessory that I came up with to give a sense of unity with the song while cheering. It was very pretty.
‘This is cute and nice!’
However, Homma’s moderately satisfied thoughts disappeared the moment Testa stepped up to the stage.
Testa was wearing a suit-style outfit that brought appropriate elements of hanbok from her clothes and patterns.
And a cloth ornament was tied to the wrist or neck earring.
It was the same daenggi that the fans hung on their light sticks.
“Aaaaaaa!”
‘Who is Cody!’
Thank you so much.
Fortunately, instead of rushing straight to the stage, a light greeting came out to see if there was time or if the filming was not ready yet.
[Everyone, the music video was okay….]
“Uh uh uh!!!”
“yes!!”
“Awesome!!”
[Haha, that’s right!]
[Shall we talk about our favorite parts very briefly one by one? Now, starting with our brother Chungwoo, who spoke up~!]
Testa, who came up on stage, took the time by talking moderately. A year had passed since then, but compared to the beginning of their debut, they seemed much more proficient.
‘It’s really cute… ….’
Homma muttered warmly, but couldn’t take her eyes off Park Mun-dae.
Park Moon-dae’s hair style has changed, just as it has already appeared in the music video.
Thanks to the preparation, I endured excessive screaming.
‘It’s been a long time since I had black hair… ….’
Homma was intoxicated by the vague first memory of the < Azusa > production presentation.
Park Mun-dae had black hair that was quite a bit longer than usual. It wasn’t long hair, but the bangs were long enough to be slipped to the sides, which gave off a subtle classic beauty.
‘excellent…!’
Homma swallowed all kinds of food in her mouth and waved the cheering stick to Park Moon-dae, who was waving her hand.
[Everyone, this black hair came out after a lot of hard work?]
[Honest feedback please.]
“Good!!”
“So good!!”
Homma couldn’t stand it any longer and screamed loudly. Similar sounds came from everywhere.
Mundae, who asked with a nonchalant face like a Tibetan fox, smiled a little at the response.
[Thank you.]
‘Best!!’
Homma cried madly, saying that she would come to the workshop for this taste.
But the highlight of the day hasn’t even started yet.
I mean the stage.
[Can we go in?]
[Yes.]
After exchanging signals with the staff, Testa quickly settled down after greeting the staff.
The members gathered in a semicircle and crouched with their arms hanging down.
[…] ….]
The stage began on a stage set composed of pine trees and black and red cloth.
Tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang
tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang tang and drum accompaniment began with a very modern structure with modified traditional musical instrument sounds.
It was trap hip hop.
At that moment, the choreography unfolded as they spread their legs on the floor.
It was a choreography that made it seem like a quadrupedal animal was moving.
As soon as the triangular formation was formed with that strange movement, the prelude ended and Cha Yoo-jin jumped out. –
So that even
if you struggle, you can’t avoid it,
you’re going to go
today
.
However, because of the unique sound of traditional Korean musical instruments, a very strange taste was added.
– A predator approaching silently,
a sharp claw,
a chaser
scratching the night
. Contrasted with the deliberately sharp rapping, the song was enriched.
Above all, no matter what part we did, there was no time to rest in the choreography.
‘Shouldn’t that be corrected… ?’
In Seon Ah-hyun’s part, Homma thought reflexively while watching the part where everyone lay down on the floor and got up with a reaction.
But I soon forgot. Because it was a waste to even think of anything else.
– A sound that swallows the world and
melts it
hotly.
Ryu Chung-woo stood at the center of the formation that returned in the shape of an arrow.
Along with the chorus, the tempo slowed dramatically. And the daunting static choreography suppressed the atmosphere.
-He appeared now.
Warning Again,
the accompaniment exploded with
the slow thrilling
-na drop
that was approaching .
-The day I finally came,
finally
here today
(never get away from me ye)
Park Moon-dae’s high pitch and Kim Rae-bin’s low rap overlapped.
-I can’t run away even if I lower my head.
Look carefully. Now
the thrill follows
Se-jin Lee from the side and nods his head.
A dance break unfolded.
–
Thanks to generously pushing the catchy beat melody, the song stuck to my ears well even during the dance break section where I occasionally spit out just one word.
However, the more spectacular dance break caught the attention.
The choreography, which moves the formation as if a huge beast is changing its posture, gave a strange feeling to the sound of running salt and gayageum.
‘Crazy.’
It was the first time for all fans to see the stage from beginning to end like this because they only saw the choreography in the music video.
The force was great.
Even in the second half, he even entered vocal feats.
-My footsteps coming
strongly
and loudly
As soon as Bakmundae of the bridge uttered a high-pitched note, the final dance break immediately followed.
-Coming to
‘Mundae, are you taking a break?!’
Homma, who had never expected to perform live until this point, was speechless with emotion and worry.
I was at a level where I was worried about whether I could continue to do this live in the future.
‘I understand why this side is Sanhok!!’
Thinking that he realized the reason why he recorded the title song instead of the sub song, Homma looked at the stage with his mouth open.
However, no mistakes were made until the end.
The moment the explosive dance break ended, the choreography was organized and formed as if they were being sucked in by rewinding.
Unlike the introduction that was like a four-legged beast, the ending was like a well-rounded squad.
The stage ended with Ryu Cheong-wu, who was in the middle, nodding slightly to the sound of the Taepyeongso.
‘I love dogs!!’
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
It was the first time since Testa’s debut that a performance song was used as a title in such an open manner. The fans were excited and cheered generously.
[Whoa… Thank you!]
There was no disturbance in the recording, saying ‘It’s unfortunate’.
In particular, Ryu Cheong-woo, who has good physical strength, seemed more stable, probably because he was in charge of the introduction and ending of the chorus.
‘I understand why they gave me the center.’
Homma was able to nod her head without feeling ill because the amount of text was good.
[Go back carefully!]
[I hope you have enough breakfast!]
After three shoots, Testa finished recording and left.
Maybe it was delayed in the beginning, but I didn’t have time for the ending ment because I went out quickly for the next team, but it was enough.
Because the stage was so good!
‘Oh, it feels good!!’
Thinking that it would be good to go on like this, Homma put the medicine she received as a snack into her mouth as she left.
It was sweet!
I hope the road ahead of our college of education can only suck on honey!!
* * *
The feeling came.
‘The honey was sucked.’
The moment I heard the refrain of my group’s title song sent by Gold 1, saying, “Tell me how it feels,” I felt it.
This song was so much better than I thought.
