Debut or Die

If you can’t debut, you’ll die. Episode 536,

< True Match > started the first stage of the second half with a large audience as if it were an opening ceremony.

I hope that there will be a stage with a great narrative that the audience will want to talk about because it is okay to sprinkle spoilers.

‘There are a lot of Testa fans.’

Park Moon-dae and Lee Se-jin’s twin homie office worker, himself a Testa fan, sat down with such thoughts in mind.

As Ryu Seo-rin’s younger sister and Ryu Gun-woo’s club senior, of course she didn’t even guess that Ryu Gun-woo became a Bak Mun-dae, but she sometimes kept in touch with Ryu Gun-woo, a big moon.

Actually, I asked if you were thinking of coming today… .

-it’s okay. I think it’s hard because I’m busy with work because it’s the end of the year.

got a reply saying

‘I wanted to take a picture from a different angle… Tsk.’

The office worker clicked his tongue, saying he is still a blunt guy.

Keundal was frightened and restless, and said, ‘I… The fact that he replied by shouting ‘It’s Geonwoo hyung!’ was never going to be revealed.

Anyway, after carefully setting the camera so as not to get caught, she sat down and explored her surroundings with a sharp eye.

‘It seems that almost half of Testa fans are.’

If this was the case, it would have been a matter of winning the 2nd place unless Testa ruined the stage.

But that didn’t mean it was good.

‘I thought it was too blatant to want to push Eter.’

At this rate, when Ether gets 3rd place or lower

– It wasn’t a stage to be ranked that high honestly – half of the audience there were

Testa fans.

could also give

The thought of hearing such a thing against Ether made even this twin hommage uncomfortable.

‘How much money will they earn in the future to think about what the kids will know… .’

It was her idea that there should be professionalism and responsibility as long as money is earned.

Anyway, isn’t it the same as Aether who benefited from what Wonder Hall did?

[…] Welcome to the audience now~] The

MC’s opening remarks ended just as Homma, an office worker, was fixing the camera so that she could not see it with her hands while thinking about that in her head.

‘It’s starting.’

She straightened up and sat down. While thinking of taking a few pictures of the other groups besides Testa for test shots.

[The first stage… Oh, and he is also the winner of the first half stage. Soft and sweet!]

And as soon as she heard the name of the first order, she predicted it.

‘The next one or the next one will be the next one.’

The production team must have deliberately given iter the first order. Because it fits the image of a challenger.

‘And there must have been something trying to separate the order of the contest with Testa.’

Testa is unconditionally the last or just before the end for viewer ratings. It was obvious without looking.

And the analysis that if they performed consecutively in front of them, they would be directly compared to Testa, so at least two or three teams would have been sandwiched between them.

[This order is… It’s Ether!]

‘That’s right.’

She narrowed her eyes as Ether appeared after the soft and sweet performance.

Wow!

In the background of cheers from the audience following the guidance of the staff, Ether took their place on the stage and formed a formation.

And after a short silence, the stage starts with an intense accompaniment that is about to explode.

[Feel the sunrise!]

The song I saw in the pre-release started to unfold with strong sound effects.

Angled like a knife, it is the title track of T-Holic’s 3rd album.

It is an intense and harsh social criticism song that T-Holic released as the title song only once, and it was a song to appeal to teenagers performing in classic black school uniforms. [Escape the pain and

fill this space with the sound of

gear up again ]

The lyrics fit perfectly with the current situation of Eter.

Even considering the theme of the stage, ‘Who am I’, it was a stage that left many interesting things to think about… .

‘also.’

It was immediately visible to someone who had been watching Testa consistently and found pleasure in the details on their stage.

Gesture expression similar to Testa.

“… … .”

It was evident that it was referenced. Twin Hommies crossed their arms.

‘That agency doesn’t know how much.’

Originally, when a person reached his limit, he lost his reason.

Wasn’t this once or twice?

Up until now, everyone was holding back because they thought Testa could have a headwind. After this aired properly, they didn’t know what the Testa fans would do.

‘… for a moment. Do you rather want that?’

Twin Homma questioned for a moment and soon realized that it was the truth.

Wonder Hall intentionally allowed Ether to refer to Testa.

-If Testa fans argue, it becomes noise marketing.

If Ether does well on stage, the public will empathize with him and fight for him.

– Do you want to see the newcomer having such a hard time?

└ I wonder if the staff was cursing because Testa fans were so nasty ㅠ

└ Kingly God-heart hahahaha

– Testa seems to hate you more, not

Eter.

A performance that seems to have been unfolded by pouring all desperate energy into it.

He filled up the lack of technique and talent with the amount of practice and the momentum that seemed to risk his life.

With red and yellow lighting effects as if the sun was rising in the background, Eter caught the ending cut with full energy.

[Feel the sun rise!]

Wow!

The stage ended with cheers.

The reactions of some of the audience with subtle faces between the cheering people who seem to have been impressed are hard to see.

“under.”

The office worker looked at Ether on stage with a complicated mind.

They nodded to the audience, gasping for breath, with tears in their eyes, and then went down.

‘Those who like rookies will have their eyes closed.’

At that time, there were quite a few types of people who were only impressed by Rising, who was full of vigor and earnestness.

‘The unit price… I’m going up.’

And the twin homma realized that she hadn’t taken a single picture of Ether despite this.

If it was originally the same, the unit price would rise, and the team would have filmed it because it was left to film first.

‘Is it my own loyalty?’

She watched the rest of the stage holding back a laugh.

My heart, which had been a little uneasy, had calmed down in the meantime.

and.

[This stage is a testa!]

Finally, the reason for this visit came.

Wow!!

It was filled with screaming cheers. In the meantime, Homma calmly developed her thoughts.

‘At the time of the midterm evaluation… .’

Intermediate evaluation Testa arranged a famous song from a band in the 2000s like a KPOP idol, and presented a stage that looked good and felt good.

It is a stage that has changed the national song to fit their identity as idols.

Relaxed and skillful charm.

However, seeing that almost no amount was given in the pre-release, I don’t think the production team did a good job editing it… .

‘No, it’s fine.’

It is a stage that is the opposite of the desperate performance that Eter did.

If this is the case, there is a high probability that public opinion will go over smoothly to the point of ‘both were good’ without needless comparisons.

Then, even if Testa fans are pissed off at Eter, they will be able to endure it once more after seeing the situation.

This is the smart way to do it.

‘Since there are kids on the team who can use their brains in politics, I wouldn’t have rushed to change them conscious of the midterm evaluation.’

She trusted the quick brain rotation and cool judgment of the two members she filmed.

[…] … .]

In the meantime, thick darkness spread over the stage.

And the twinkling light came alive.

Not one, but numerous lights filled the stage with star-like sparkles.

A voice rising above it.

[Wait, because you stand up, even

if the floor is cold,

your life is so br-ight!]

“… !!”

There was none of the slick dance-pop that was seen in midterms.

A powerful rock sound that is colorful and sexual, yet brings out the popular taste to the fullest.

[Yeeees

Ride the clouds and

Shoot out into the skyyyy-!]

Glam metal rang everywhere.

‘ah.’

Riding on the thumping sound, the terrifyingly controlled group dance forms and rushes in.

Blond-dyed hair, a black rider jacket and a white printed T-shirt stood out exquisitely.

The performers come out to the front of the stage like light in an aggressive and splendid way.

[Pouring as a comet,

last night’s pain

shines on the asphalt

City of lights]

Perhaps the theme consciousness of ‘Who am I’ was easier to understand in the version at the time of the midterm evaluation.

It was because they showed their identity as ‘Daesang-level KPOP idols’.

‘Testa is a group that always challenges conceptually, so I thought this was like us’ was less direct.

however.

[

Your tears, shining like stars and running,

Shining like the nightscape]

The stage came more directly.

The moment I saw Park Moon-dae, who lifted his hand at the end of a high note and brushed his hair, turning over his jacket.

‘driving me crazy.’

The worker knew.

This was a stage that I changed after seeing the midterm evaluation to win with energy.

The moment the brief thought of what the hell was doing this passed by.

‘for a moment.’

[Now come to me,

cross the sky,

cross the sea]

Testa’s gestures are flashy, as is common in metal bands.

And those gestures… .

‘He’s doing exactly what Eter did!’

Yes.

Almost every gesture Ether did came out as the part moved.

From raising your hands, resting your chin, closing your eyes lightly, then opening them as if you knew them and nodding your head.

Even though it was an attitude that fit perfectly with this glam metal.

‘These crazy guys!’

[Come to me now,

forget the tears

and leave the pain behind]

Testa came out openly like when he faced Onyx during the Rookie of the Year award someday.

And this was a mistake that Homma thought Testa would never make.

‘If I make a mistake, I’ll be ruined.’

For the strong to be conscious of the weak and try to win, it could arouse resentment.

It’s easy to ruin your image when you hear that you’re trying to fight with your juniors or that you’re just greedy.

So I thought that Testa, who had never made a stupid choice until now, would never make this choice here… .

[The world is yours,

I want to give it all,

this must be love]

They made a choice.

A thrill like a pleasant goosebump rising from his chest warmed his head.

‘Oh X-foot… … .’

Homma sighed.

There was something strange about the momentum of going all-in like crazy without calculating, making the viewer cry.

Cha Yoo-jin, frowning with her piercings sparkling on stage, holds a handheld microphone and performs, while Moon-dae Park strikes a chord in the back.

[Wait, because you stand up, so your life is so br-ight

even without streetlights

!]

The performance and vocals stormed to the level of two-much like a bombardment.

Homma, an office worker, managed to catch a realistic reason in the gap.

‘reality… If you look at it as an enemy.’

I had to be really overwhelmingly good at expressing myself to give a sense of being compared to my juniors for a long time.

To the point where anyone can feel the originality from Testa.

[Yeeees

Ride the clouds and

Shoot out into the skyyyy-!]

And Lee Se-jin knew that too.

-I’m really sorry, but can I?

He insisted on doing it in three days, choreographed it, and did it by distributing gestures, and he barely slept.

In the meantime, I didn’t miss a thing to do to manage myself.

He knew too.

I’m not a rookie who just debuted, and it’s not a very wise human being to do this.

Give what to give and think of what you already have.

‘People should live while controlling the tempo.’

Isn’t it said that otherwise the balance collapses?

It’s a good job to be swayed by the public. It means that you can’t live with your ego as an individual person, not as an idol.

So, it means that people should have time to rest.

‘it’s okay.’

He didn’t want to live like that.

Be successful and live like a human being.

If that means you can no longer grow through the pain.

He desperately wanted to live while remaining anxious and nervous.

So, I wanted to push the limits.

As far as you can.

[Now come to me,

cross the sky,

cross the sea]

I wanted to live only as an idol.
