Episode 201,
the day of Testa’s encore concert in Seoul.
A graduate student entering Gocheok Sky Dome was smiling faintly.
‘I finally… First cone… !’
Thanks to the encore concert starting on Saturday, we were able to barely make it in time.
It was finally time to enjoy the concert without spoilers!
Although he was a graduate student standing at the crossroads of becoming a doctor or getting a master’s degree, he had only one concern today.
‘Does Moondae look good? This seat is the best, isn’t it?’
Yes. The graduate student succeeded in ticketing for a seat in front of the protruding front.
At the last concert, it was the same area where the controversy arose because Season 4 of Azusa took over.
Her friend, who was taking pictures of Park Mun-dae, congratulated her while shedding tears and enviing her.
-I just entered. My heart is about to jump outㅠㅠㅠ
The graduate student entered and sat down in his seat, replying to a message from a friend who came a few tens of minutes ago.
It really felt like my heart would jump out!
Encore concerts usually have similar set lists and even venues, so estimates have already been made.
‘I’ll see at least four songs on the protruding stage!’
She waited for the start of the performance, holding on to the cheering rod, expecting to see Park Moon-dae’s stage right in front of her nose.
and after some time
“Aaaaaa!!”
“Oooo!!”
Graduate students were also cheering among the people whose adrenaline exploded at the raging performance.
‘Ah so good!!’
Watching a concert from a place with a good view in the center was an almost artistic experience.
“Park Moondae!! It’s Moondae!!”
Park Moon-dae’s solo stage that just ended was an example.
This stage, which showed a performance of removing the chair used during the tour and floating in the air again, felt the intention more clearly when I saw it from the center.
A flurry of primary-colored fabrics, like a whirlpool of emotions.
A fleeting love affair floating in the air beyond the fabric falling from the center under the lighting.
The graduate student silently nodded and recited an intoxicating note.
‘Park Moon-dae… He’s a genius.’
And it wasn’t just because of the good seats that all those emotions came to me clearly.
‘Mundae is so good.’
Power that is cooler than last time.
Since it is the same venue, the sound must have been the same, but strangely, the emotion that touched someone somewhere in the voice felt more raw.
If graduate students had access to social media, they would have been able to see these comments from people watching the broadcast.
-Clap your hands while
lying in bed
.
-Please give me Dip D for the encore con
as well. As the level of immersion changed, the quality of emotions on stage changed.
It was the ‘time of indulgence (S)’ effect that was more certain than Park Moon-dae’s own expectations.
And Park Moon-dae himself, who had just turned off the stage equipment on the backstage, felt it too.
“…Whoa.”
My hands trembled.
Not because of the pain or spasms, but because of the afterglow.
Up to the top of my head, the feeling of emptiness and refreshment was excessive, as if I had been submerged in the water of emotion and then lifted up.
‘still…It was a better choice than expected.’
It was because I was satisfied with the stage just now.
The immersion of entering right away without any conscious steps made people more uplifted.
In particular, it was added because I did a song that was terrifyingly emotional by myself.
‘It’s stronger than usual.’
Park Moon-dae drank an ion drink to regain his composure and tidied up his brain.
“Mumundae! Are there any places where you feel uncomfortable? ?”
“It’s comfortable.”
“That’s right. thank god…. Still, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me!”
“I will.”
“Eww! …ah! Just before the end of the flower, the plaza was so cool… !”
“Yes, thank you. You were nice too.”
As I listened to Seon Ah-hyun, who had changed her costume, and listened to her concerns under the guise of a conversation using an interlude, the time approached.
‘The group song continues and the impromptu stage VCR goes a little longer… .’
“Seven minutes left!”
‘The unit right before the encore.’
During concerts, Moondae Park thought that time flies faster than you think.
So I had to be more careful.
‘Do it properly.’
After making up his mind, Moondae Park moved down the hallway to wait under the stage again.
Then, he came out in time with the chorus of Chungwoo Ryu’s solo stage and began to immerse himself in the stage again.
Wow!!
In fact, it was a difficult environment not to be immersed in.
* * *
Now, while the stage of the title song, which is quite a lot, passed and the cute impromptu stage passed, the audience was thoroughly enjoying the offline experience after a long time.
Yet, everyone knew.
Judging from the past experience of completing the review through VOD, the concert was now clearly in the second half.
So, at the end of this reality show by Testa, which was a big hit, the ‘unit stage’ with publicity was coming soon.
‘There wasn’t much change in the set list!’
‘I think I put a lot of effort into the unit stage… ….’
Especially at the moment when the VCR, which overlapped with the last concert, came on, calculations ran in my head as if it were during a break even in the midst of excitement.
And without disappointing that expectation, the unit stage appeared at the right time.
[Falling- like falling autumn stars, to you fall fall Fallen.]
First, Seon Ah-hyeon and Ryu Cheong-wu.
The audience watched the stage with a fresh feeling with a combination they had never experienced before.
The two performed the debut song of T-Holic, a famous male idol senior, in a refreshing way.
‘Oh~ nice!’
This was the opinion of a graduate student who is a fan of Park Moon University.
Next is Sejin Bae, Sejin Lee, and Raebin Kim.
[I’m aiming for you, my target, I won’t miss my enemy.]
I took a female idol song with a strong concept called Hitman and distributed the parts appropriately.
‘Isn’t it nice?’
Except for Park Moon University, graduate students with ordinary people’s sensibilities appropriately gave good reviews.
Both unit stages have become much larger and larger than the first concert.
Thanks to that, I put strength into my back on my own.
‘Now that Moondae is left… !’
As the previous two stages were great, expectations were high as to what kind of stage Park Moon-dae and Cha Yu-jin, who were in charge of the finale, would prepare.
‘Everyone expected it on social media too!’
If you look a little deeper, there are plenty of opinions that are worried about biting your nails, but the graduate students aren’t that friendly with the Internet yet.
So, I just came across the last unit stage with 100% expectations.
[…] ….]
After the entire stage, a short video was played on the electronic display board, on top of the darkened stage.
Ding-
The bell of the grandfather clock rang and the lights suddenly returned.
On the black-and-white stage, there was a tall male figure in an angular choreographic formation with eight dancers.
It was Cha Yoo-jin.
‘Moondae… ?’
Even before the graduate student’s thoughts were completed into sentences, the music began to pour in.
It was the melody of a pop song I had heard at least once.
Bambam night night!
-listen!
No matter how hard
I think about it.
I can not hold it
Cha Yoo-jin started the movement, leading the dancers on top of the light and nimble electric swing sound.
Among the many people, the person himself, wearing a black shirt and everything from a harness to a jewelry chain, was the appearance of a solo singer.
-Why Why~
are you not a monster?
Cha Yoo-jin was gorgeous.
The use of sparkling lights, cheerful voices, and glitter effects in the background as part of the choreography made my mouth open.
Cha Yoo-jin was enjoying the stage as if she were possessed.
-Umm Umm Umm~
The screams and cheers did not stop.
So, the graduate student came to his senses only when he got out of the center and strode to the left.
‘No, that’s why you ask?’
However, Cha Yoo-jin entered the chorus without mercy.
Thanks to the song being in the form of a hook song, it was an iconic part that was quickly repeated four times.
-Monster monster
you got me so
I grabbed you
bebe babe
Cha Yoo-jin performed the most complex choreography among the dancers lightly and effortlessly by herself.
It seemed to draw attention.
-bebe babe!
After a swiftly rising motion, Cha Yoo-jin drew her mouth with her index finger and laughed.
“and….”
Even Park Moon-dae’s fans reflexively admired it.
But the closing moment of the first chorus is so impressive.
The accompaniment suddenly changed.
Whoa-!
‘uh?’
Sophisticated arrangements using extremely modern electronic instruments disappeared as if they were being eaten.
And instead, a radical band orchestra stormed the spot.
“…?!”
“…??”
Before the sound of embarrassment came out of the audience.
The background opened with a brilliant light flashing in the center of the stage.
“…!!”
And a golden chair like a throne began to appear on the huge blue carpet structure.
The person who sat obliquely on that magnificent chair… It was Park Moon-dae wearing glasses and wearing a school uniform with a noticeable knit.
‘what’s this??’
Park Mun-dae started singing with a naturally distressed face.
-okay.
Just thinking about it,
I can’t stand
you anymore.
It was the lyrics of a Korean pop song.
Park Moon-dae led the song with a clear and distinct voice. Somehow it sounds a bit exaggerated and emotional than usual… .
‘No, wait.’
The graduate student, who almost fell in love with it, realized that Park Moon-dae’s arrangement was also quite familiar.
It wasn’t just an adaptation.
‘…It’s a musical!’
Yes.
This pop song ‘Monster Baby’ was also one of the famous numbers of a musical made by collecting the singer’s songs. -You don’t even look like
a person
!
Park Moon-dae, dressed in a neat school uniform, sat comfortably on a chair and continued to sing.
It was because he was digesting a song sung by a modern student who got lost in a shipwreck in a bizarre 17th-century castle.
And it didn’t end there.
Woo woo woo woo woo~
Around Park Mun-dae, figures in raucous modern clothes appeared and started to dance and sing the chorus.
It was a musical ensemble from anyone’s point of view.
Thanks to this, the audience, whether or not a few people knew the background, could roughly guess.
That you are recreating a musical scene.
‘omg.’
It was a stage that showed the same song in the opposite form, but the audience forgot their embarrassment and got involved because it was so powerful.
-Monster Monster
grabs me and
pulls me
like that!
While Mundae Park choreographed the dance on top of a giant golden chair, the structure itself moved around in the hands of the ensemble to match the lyrics and story.
– Like that all the time!
Amid the intersection of colorful lighting and flamboyant period drama elements that seem like feathers going out of their minds, Park Moon-dae’s vocals split the venue all the way.
It was the taste of an explosive and dramatic musical.
“Wow!”
First, the audience reflexively clapped again. Because it was the quality that gave me goosebumps.
However, there was nothing called a unit stage.
‘Almost just… A solo stage showdown?’
‘It’s not a unit.’
Some people predict that the story of knowing will come out the moment you get out of the elation of this concert.
Gying!
The interlude trembled, and In-young, dressed in a stylish black-and-white suit, rushed into the center stage from the dimmed lights on the left side of the stage.
“uh?”
It was Cha Yoo-jin and the dancers.
And they pushed Park Mundae and the ensemble all the way to the right, who were singing on chairs and carpet structures!
“…??”
The musical set was pushed out as if toppling over… .
and.
Baba bam bam – baba bam!
In line with the synthesizer and brass that came in again, Cha Yoo-jin and the dancers pulled out their sticks this time.
The rods are connected and dismantled according to the movement, adding to the dynamics and splendor of the choreography.
“wow.”
At the moment the luminous color flashed from the stick, numerous lights gathered in the air to assist Cha Yu-jin’s movements.
It was a luminous drone performance.
Cha Yoo-jin smiled crookedly and handled the drone as if it were alive.
-bebe babe!
The moment when the chorus is finished once again like that.
This time, without a break, Park Moon-dae pushed into the center of the stage in an instant.
Standing on a golden chair and crossing his arms, Park Moon-dae hung a huge chandelier on the structure as if he couldn’t lose it.
And, as if declaring war, the ensemble and high-pitched chords were chucked in.
– I thought about it today too,
I can’t stand it anymore!
The lyrics were exquisite. The chandelier flashed light, teasing the dancers’ eyes.
‘crazy!’
Now the audience started laughing.
However, there was comfort and anticipation to enjoy the finished stage, not because I couldn’t help but laugh.
This is because somewhat meta humor that transcends genres was brazenly performed on stage.
Because Cha Yoo-jin and Park Moon-dae, the parties involved, were so naturally virtuous, the stage became very enjoyable instead of embarrassing.
Drrrrr-!
After agitating like that, the two of them eventually jumped out onto the stage and started to perform while having a silent fight in the final chorus.
As synth sounds and orchestras merged, the song became loud and grand enough to be used for festivals or carnivals.
-Monster Monster
bebe babe!
Grab it and pull it
like that!
Original language and adapted lyrics were mixed. Dancers entered between the ensembles.
Cha Yoo-jin climbed onto the golden chair and sang a different song, while Park Moon-dae danced with a drone.
The stage was heated with a sense of runaway invading each other’s territory without hesitation.
-Monster like that!
Peeing!
Firecrackers of all colors exploded, bringing the harmony and choreography to a climax.
The two disparate elements of the stage met the ending by making use of each other’s destructive feeling more radically.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
People’s screams over the sound of firecrackers and electric accompaniment shook the scene as if it were part of a performance.
“Yaaaaa!!”
The graduate students unknowingly hit the cheering stick with their palms and applauded.
I didn’t know yet that I would be shocked to realize that this stage was only 4 minutes and 20 seconds long on my way home an hour later.
* * *
“Awesome! Awesome!”
“I get it.”
Cha Yoo-jin shook my shoulder while repeating the same words throughout the VCR. It seems that he really liked the stage just now.
I got it. I was also a bit surprised.
‘This is how it works.’
It was a composition that was difficult to immerse in unless you have a fairly thick face, but I didn’t feel a single bit of solemnity.
‘I thought it was a joke, but was it worth the S grade?’
On the contrary, I feel like it’s a VCR and I want to continue the stage without stopping… .
“Do it again! Do it a hundred times! oh my god!”
Of course not to that extent. let go
“okay. Let’s organize a large one.”
“yes!”
This sudden consumption of stamina is not allowed. Tonight, I had to keep my mind straight.
Besides this unit stage challenge, today’s event remains.
‘…Is it really over now?’
About 30 minutes until the end of the concert.
The status ailment was really right around the corner.
