If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 568
With the feeling of ‘Let’s do everything we want to do’, after two weeks, the self-produced song suddenly hits the current trend and goes bad.
The testas did their best.
It means that we really prepared for this performance with a clenched fist within the limited time.
-Forward… …Let’s not suddenly create new things at the beginning of the year… ….
-yes….
-….
-Ohhhh!! Sejin hyung is dead!
‘I thought it would end.’
And today, he finally appeared on the air and succeeded in showing a proper stage.
[I turn the page,
go to the next chapter]
Bae Se-jin’s simple and beautiful freestyle becomes an official choreography and unfolds in perfect harmony with the formation.
In the intro or build-up section, each of them does a solo part and entrusts the dance to a dancer, then gathers together only the chorus and shows a coordinated group dance.
‘It was a method that would not work without skill stats… ….’
Still, after monitoring, when combined with the one-take camera move, the movement came to life, and a stage worth seeing came out.
-Since the music video was also a one-take, there are points of connection in terms of the story. um that’s fine
It was as Big Sejin said.
It was different from the rigorous way we usually do, but this style, which emphasized the balance with the vocals, didn’t seem to have any problems with quality.
That’s how Time Attack was successful.
“Oh no, I have nothing to comment on. It was Testa’s self-produced idol!”
The fuss of the MC who hosts the program was also excellent.
Originally, he was an MC who was known for being gentle, but he became more gentle in line with the program’s characteristics of ‘Introduction to this week’s topical musician’, which is close to culture.
Deep questions related to music creep in.
“I often use the word ‘Epic’ with a strong and unique feeling, but it originally means ‘epic’. It’s like writing an old adventure story or something like that.”
“Yes that’s right!”
Rabin Kim nodded with a happy expression.
“It sounds like the testers used the word ‘Epic’ with a more emotional meaning closer to its original meaning, is that correct?”
“That is correct. Just as there are always twists and turns in a story, so are our lives, and I wanted to emphasize that everything is not just a process, it has meaning in itself!”
“We affirm the reality of the present progressive tense. It is very beautiful.”
A meticulous question-and-answer that proceeds step by step.
A plain and sincere conversation without aggro comes and goes. It was a luxury I had never experienced since debuting.
Truly hypoallergenic healing!
“There were many responses saying the lyrics were really pretty! He spoke very little English and spoke Korean very well. I’ve seen a lot of comments like this. As far as I know, that member Bae Se-jin took the lead in writing it… ?”
“Oh hmm. yes…. That’s right.”
“This older brother reads a lot!”
“Ah, you’ve been through reading!”
Normally, people who hate the idol concept would say that they stick together and cringe, but grades are the law of publicity.
Because it was the beginning of the year, people who were full of emotions rated the lyrics highly because they were full of mulberry.
Thanks to this, Bae Se-jin, who greatly participated in writing the lyrics, looks embarrassed but proud.
Even when an MC from a famous singer-songwriter praised him, saying that the singing method, the way the song was developed, and the pronunciation of the lyrics matched, he couldn’t control his mouth.
“Mr. Sejin.”
“yes?”
“It’s okay to laugh as much as you like.”
Ahaha!
The audience is comfortable and laughing happily. Bae Se-jin, whose face was a bit red, also laughed at the end.
Stress-free shooting!
There are no controversies, no competitions, no flirtatious questions.
“Then, please say goodbye!”
“yep! I didn’t expect to receive so much love at the start of the year, but it’s such an honor. In the future, our testa will… ….”
After a truly ‘healing’ music talk show in a very calm atmosphere, the members left the set with warm faces.
“It was very helpful.”
“Yes. He was a good person.”
Because it was a program like this in the first place, ‘Hey, it’s boring, it’s no fun.’ Not having the same impression was one of the advantages.
Besides, the fun doesn’t end here.
“Hmm, this stage clip has a good response on social media.”
“okay?”
Even a short clip of this stage titled ‘Testa Live’ went viral on social media once again.
Since it was a special appearance in a liberal arts program without a broadcast stage, it was rare, so it seems that expectations and demand were concentrated in one point.
-This
is a
singer
.
It was witnessed that people who were not very interested showed interest in order to jump on the bandwagon and show off ‘I know the trend well’.
There was no album at all, and there was no pre-promotion, so there was nothing to catch the pod with other grades.
Truly blocking the source of aggro!
And this demand was reflected in reality as well.
“I heard that there was a request for an invitation from a concert held by Five Star Card.”
“Ah, that’s where VTIC seniors came from last year, right?”
Now it was almost like a formal activity period.
Occasionally, there were many requests for this song to be included in the setlist even when attending an advertising event or a KPOP concert.
Then, in fact, the song that consumes the lowest stamina ever becomes a highlight stage.
“Whoa….”
“Hmm.”
Even after the stage, there were guys who touched the ribs as if their lungs were about to pop out, feeling out of breath.
“It’s less of a burden.”
“Yes.”
It was almost the first time I wrote a song for an event that had no choreography.
It was different from before when I made a choreography that somehow didn’t exist with ad-libs and emphasized it far and wide.
– Epic! Epic!
[Yes, the song you’ve been waiting for is now out.]
-Ohhh!
It is enough to sing the song properly.
At the concert, he said he wanted to write a more colorful and strong choreography, and when he saw Sejin Kim arranging the song, the company secretly tipped it off to the leader.
“It’s an activity that I hadn’t planned before, so I came up with an opinion that it would be better not to overdo it…. You are preparing for the next comeback at the same time.”
“hmm…yes. We will adjust well considering the members’ physical condition.”
The song itself is so good that the response is good.
My body is much more comfortable, but when I perform, I can even hear a huge group of people.
The big Sejin muttered as if he was in a good mood but a little nervous.
“Oh~ This must be Youngrin sunbae-nim’s impression, right?”
“I think it is a very grateful and meaningful experience to meet diversity from the point of view of a composer!”
Like I said, it was fresh.
Every day continued with everyone digesting their schedules with faces like, “This can happen.”
Of course, everyone thought that this would end someday.
‘The timing was good.’
So, just as if I was enjoying a pleasant event, I spent my days working and sleeping while being hectic.
Then, a few weeks later, one day.
“hmm.”
Dawn after finishing the schedule. I found an article on a portal site while lying on my bed and using my smartphone.
[The monster rookie who pushed Testa off the charts…]
I got a feeling before I even finished reading it.
‘A knight for press play.’
Are you a monster rookie again?
Still, if you look at the expression ‘pushed off the chart’, it meant that it was pushed out of the top spot on this music chart.
‘It means that there is a team that came up while I wasn’t monitoring deeply.’
I clicked to see the article content properly.
Of course, I have no intention of saying bullshit like ‘How can a rookie beat our group?’.
‘I’m grateful that I’ve been working with this sound source for a few weeks.’
In addition, if it was a female idol or a solo artist, it happened quite often that the newcomer’s sound source jumped up. I mean, there’s nothing surprising about it.
Annual leave is a meaningless industry.
‘Among the new female idols from the big leagues, the team that made a comeback or debuted… . Mmm, maybe a rapper.’
So I skimmed through the article while predicting a few teams and names.
And I was faced with an unexpected explanation.
-The mixed-gender idol group HaloHe-im drew attention with the #Look_up challenge on video platforms and the MZ generation….
“….”
Rereading it didn’t change the description.
‘concoction?’
A mixed-gender idol group makes their debut with each other… After hitting the jackpot on social media… did you get first place?
It was an explanation that I didn’t know where to start and what to refute.
‘I thought the mixed group was extinct.’
Of course, there are exceptions to every formula and trend.
Instead of snoring, I immediately put the group in and ran a search.
– Haloheim.
It’s only been a week since they debuted.
‘also.’
I thought it wouldn’t be long.
The image teaser was released on January 1st, and it seems that the promotion and virality continued, mainly on video platforms such as TikTacTok.
And the company… .
‘Hmm, this is the first label I’ve heard of.’
Of course, there is little chance of being a real zero-base small business.
‘also.’
With a little further exploration, I even found out that this label is affiliated with a young company.
The main judge of < Azusa > and… The idol who first taught me that idol data can make money.
It is even said that Youngrin was in charge of producing.
– St. U’s Youngrin works as a producer, completing the construction of Haloheim’s musical worldview… ….
The explanation continued that he made it hand in hand with the image director who created his heyday.
‘Is that where the topic came from?’
Even so, being a mixed-gender idol group was a risky endeavor.
This is because they are vulnerable to dating rumors, and their fandom doesn’t unite well in the first place, or it’s easy to become too light.
‘It is several times more difficult to maintain the value of the name in the long run.’
Making such an experimental attempt at a company worthy of that name, risking enough trainees to debut?
Bet on the front that the company’s signboard idol produced it?
I pressed my forehead.
‘…Youngrin’s personality to play with children’s lives… ….’
no i don’t know
I am…I just sold my data. There’s no way I know what kind of personality Youngrin is.
Still, it was time to restart the search, frowning in embarrassment.
‘I need to find out how it floated… .’
At that moment, my eyes went to Haloheim’s profile.
‘…?’
Apparently, because of my job, I reflexively checked my direct competitors first, so I looked at the men’s faces first.
female members.
Those faces… Something familiar.
“….”
I immediately moved my hand and put the names of the members in question and turned the search again.
This time via YouTube.
And among the pouring videos, I found the Lekka account.
– What made them debut after eating together with Testa?
“….”
X feet.
* * *
“Hey.”
“Why Moondaemundae?”
“Do you remember this group?”
I handed the smartphone screen over to Sejin the big one. The guy who was getting ready to sleep in bed had a ‘suddenly something’ expression on his face, but he accepted the smartphone without saying anything.
And check the screen.
“Ah~”
Of course, Sejin nodded his head.
And, conscious of Seon Ah-hyun, who was already asleep, he said softly in a low voice.
“Um, those who almost debuted with < Be My Girls >…Right? It was originally our agency.”
Yes.
< Be My Girls >.
It is another idol survival program that T1 has been running since the hit of < Idol Inc. >.
The winners of this program also belonged to T1 Stars as a matter of course, and were scheduled to be the next female idol group beforehand.
the problem is…That it was all manipulation.
–< Be My Girls > ranking was manipulated…
It was a bomb that exploded on the surface when T1, arrested by the production team, got beaten up by being involved with the political world.
Thanks to that, we eventually escaped from T1… .
This side didn’t even debut, but because of the contract, they were tied up for several years.
So Orbit, the company Testa made after escaping, did this.
“The contract was released when we acquired T1 Stars before our company started.”
It was a natural choice.
This is what happens when you keep tying this group to the company without even letting them debut.
-Are you carrying a manipulative
stone?
Controversy over support of manipulation.
-They didn’t even let them debut and they
didn’t let them go. Wow, the lives of the kids are pitiful. What
should I do? It’s a mean way, even kids use it… It’s
really heartbreaking .
‘It’s normal to let them go if they’re not going to debut in the first place.’
The risk and conscience-smashing voices were too loud to have in the Nolbu meta, where if I can’t use it, others can’t use it.
I thought it was over without harming each other like that.
I didn’t know it would turn out this well.
“…1 on the music chart right now?”
“okay.”
“hmm.”
Big Sejin rubbed his chin… shrugged.
“Wow~ We only have 2 weeks? At most, I didn’t monitor for 3 weeks, so look at how the situation has changed. It’s a really dynamic industry.”
The boy immediately woke up from bed.
“Let’s check.”
I thought so.
We immediately and quietly moved into the living room and started monitoring the industry properly… .
“What are you guys doing?”
“…!”
When I turned my head, Cha Yoo-jin, who had come out to drink water, was staring blankly at me.
I thought my liver was falling.
“Sit down.”
“What….”
That’s how the three early morning overtime shifts began.
The item is competitor analysis.
