Debut or Die

. The music video for

episode 567 unfolded as if it were being sucked in without interruption like a one-take.

It is a simple storyline that shows Ryu Cheong-wu in < Arrival > leaving the tent, looking around the base camp in the frontier area, and introducing the camp members here and there as the camera chases after it excitedly.

A camp for adventurers exploring the new world!

‘Indiana X’s… ?’

Costumes and props that remind one of a classic adventure movie set the mood.

– My grandfather often showed it to me when I was young! In a situation where commerciality is not important, there is an element that I would like to try at least once.

It was Kim Rae-bin’s wish.

He cataloged all kinds of classic adventure genre fodder: gas lanterns, old maps, pocket watches, and fountain pens.

Thanks to this, elements of classic adventure are added to the outfit at an exquisite level that is not excessive.

Members wearing long leather walker linen shirts bomber jackets and metal badges were caught on camera one after another.

Ryu Chung-woo, who sits idle with a telescope, smiles slightly at the camera, draws a map with a fountain pen, then crumples Kim Rae-bin and checks the gun… … .

And even Seon Ah-hyun, who takes care of Jeon Seo-gu, who puts a white bird on his hand.

-How about a cheerful and bright atmosphere… ?

As Seon Ah-hyun wished, the video was drawn against a bright and beautiful day.

On the screen, he was lively, full of hope, ambition and adventurous spirit.

And as the song progressed, the members became more dynamic.

Like the chorus part.

Bae Se-jin, who was perched on a stump and looking at her journal while wearing antique glasses, slowly walks out and naturally dances to the song along with the dancers.

[I turn the page

,

the guidance shines, and

the pain becomes a guide]

But the elements he put in were conveyed through the ears, not the eyes.

it’s this lyrics.

-It would be nice if the lyrics had a sense of moving forward into the future, but not overly optimistic, so it had a realistic feel… … .

-So, I’m not saying that life is wonderful, I’m just saying what it would be like to feel like going there even though it’s difficult. … I’ll write it down like that.

Thanks to this, the song talks about hope while looking deeply into the past.

But I also admit the pain.

[Let me tempt fate,

struggle

beyond the milestones and crossroads

and go one step further]

So, the overall feeling was slightly tinged with solid emotions.

[Towards the Limit] As

the pages of the diary that Bae Se-jin throws into the sky flutter and fall, the camera races again and passes between the outstretched hands as if giving a high five.

And as the field of vision widened, wilderness, mountains, fields, forests, and nature with blue skies and floating clouds began to appear in the background.

The members perform their parts as if overflowing in a narrow aspect ratio.

Sitting on a huge rock, sometimes breaking through colorful hammocks hanging between trees… .

“uh?”

Homma frowned at the strange feeling of deja vu. And I soon found out why.

This is because each member appeared in a composition that pays homage to their famous stage or close-up cut.

“… … .”

Come to think of it, the lyrics were about looking back on the past.

‘It must have been aimed at.’

For some reason, Homma was slightly frowning.

And the chorus came back.

This time, the camera captured an open tent full of colorful objects.

A tall figure sitting loosely between them.

[I turn the page

,

the goal shines,

the pain becomes evidence]

He casually put down the golden artifact he was holding and came out of the tent gently.

It was Sejin Lee.

– Well, there are so many good opinions. Rather than having something I really want to include… Don’t be moderately satisfied with the result, aim for a really cool pick!

As the words say, the most spectacular and eye-catching action unfolds so far with a large number of people mobilized.

[Let me tempt fate,

struggling

beyond the milestones and fork in the road,

moving one step further]

After the climax of the choreography passed, Lee Se-jin greeted politely in a playful way among the pollen.

And according to that gesture, the camera naturally moved again as if to show the next member’s part… .

no one is caught

“… ?”

Being close-up is someone’s citizenship.

The moment you check that the smile mark and the phrase ‘MAKE IT HAPPEN!’ are scrawled vigorously.

Suddenly the video cuts off for the first time.

And as the accompaniment faded, the voice resounded clearly.

[Let me tempt fate,

beyond

the milestones and crossroads, to

the end of the day]

The video that came back.

At the end of the vast field, Cha Yu-jin herself was standing in the wind.

with horses.

he looses the reins

[Beyond the limit]

At the same time, the screen opens.

The moment the field of view widens from the retro ratio of 4:3 to the wide screen of 21:9, there is a sense of openness as if breathing is relieved.

“ah… … .”

And while the color and resolution are all clearer.

[I can’t stop, to tomorrow]

Cha Yoo-jin on a horse gallops across the screen as if jumping out across the meadow.

His request was simple.

– I want to ride a horse!

Thanks to this, he was shot out with a sound of breathing in the stillness as intense as in the old west.

And the drums come back like a storm.

[Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh!]

With the accompaniment of foot stamping in the background, the viewpoint briefly heads toward the sky.

A bird’s eye view looking down at galloping horses.

Then, close up of the nose as if it were being sucked in again.

It is Cha Yoo-jin who is smiling with his teeth exposed.

[Running out of breath

, stretching my hands toward the sky more under my feet

in the city center ]

Park Moon-dae’s high-pitched voice resonates coolly as if it were speeding along the classic band accompaniment.

[(Over and over)

Even if the stars don’t reach me,

I want to live today]

[Woo-]

The chorus sounded and the horse kicked off the ground and ran vigorously, raising dust.

Then, the moment Cha Yu-jin pulls the reins, she stops.

The sun was setting in his vision.

A vast sunset sky.

[Don’t sleep

Just- dream]

Cha Yoo-jin got off the horse with the exhilarating final note of long breathing and threw his hat aside.

The moment the hat disappears over the screen, Cha Yoo-jin looks back at the camera and smiles.

The ending credits appear behind Cha Yoo-jin, who turns her head and walks away.

… … .]

White sentences covered with Testa’s name.

The sight of it rising above the setting sun somehow shook people’s hearts.

‘ah… … .’

Cha Yoo-jin, who had run far away, was caught meeting the black silhouettes of six people who were backlit by the setting sun.

The images of them giving high fives or putting their arms around each other flowed across the screen without interruption.

Until the ending credits roll up and only this phrase remains.

-Loviewer

“… … .”

The phrase occupied the entire screen by itself until the end of the video until everything disappeared… … .

So Homma intuitively realized.

‘It was a fan song.’

This wasn’t a collaboration, an advertisement, or a worldview connection video.

It was definitely a new fan song!

* * *

“Everyone thinks it’s a fan song.”

“Iknow, right. It has become completely orthodox.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Should I say it was a fan song?”

“yep.”

The bill was passed without any opposition.

And again monitoring continues.

-Guys, an Epic article has appeared

‘The story of looking back on the footprints after debut with various impressions and resolving to move forward again’… └sg

ganji came out

-I think these crazy guys filmed their own music video, shooting and editing (Ending credits capture)

– The director who said he acted as an advisor for the music video

went on the mound on SNS. came out unnoticed -I heard it right at the start

of the new year, so

I recommended it to my muggle friend, but he already knows (?) What is it

└Muggles know all good things too

hahaha you’re not doing it right? The response is so good

“… … .”

Bae Se-jin opened his mouth with an expression as if he was going to break out in a cold sweat.

“this… Why is it going so well?”

Yes.

From the beginning of the release, the reaction from the fans was quite good.

The reaction, ‘It’s a pity that I won’t be active’ because the song is so good, was unusual, so I drew a picture of it right at the climax of the concert.

‘It’s actually not wrong to say that it’s a fan song.’

Until then, everyone was just happy.

-You said you’d run hard in the new year while cherishing the time we’ve spent together, our testa!

-(Pass by, I’m an over-immersed otaku)

-It was like an epilogue to the finale…

However, this story, distorted in a good way, went viral towards in-heart SNS… … .

[How many of these scenes do you know? (Comparison of Testa legend cut and music video cut)]

So far… come.

“It’s said to be #1 in predictions for the next time slot on music sites.”

“… … ??”

-Wow, 1st place in Testa’s prediction chkchke

was just around the corner to win 1st place on the daily music charts, which is hard to do even if you clenched your teeth and released an album.

“really?”

“really.”

[A male idol song that seems to have been chosen for New Year’s resolutions]

‘Is it true?’

Strangely, luck and timing were exquisitely matched even though there was no number of goals, and the jackpot for the number one music source exploded.

What’s funny is that this is a digital single without a physical album.

Even a low-budget video, self-produced and released in two weeks… Is it supposed to be like this?

“… … Shouldn’t you have prepared more and made it the title of a regular album?”

“A title that already exists.”

“You can do double titles.”

I see

But it’s already past. This song has already been released.

What you need to do is to be satisfied and enjoy the unexpected but accidental jackpot… … .

“Oh, I don’t think it’s a coincidence, is it? All of our group members have good senses, so I think people recognized it. yes?”

“Yes… !”

“… … .”

“Of course, the timing was good too! But since we don’t know when this timing will come again, let’s work harder in the future!”

“Yes, I will engrave it on my heart!”

“… … .”

I use this for doping.

Looking at Sejin, who is trying to make good use of his achievements to raise the morale of the team, he nodded, saying that he is still the same.

For reference, Ryu Chung-woo is looking at his smartphone next to him.

“I got a call from the company, but it seems like there are a lot of requests for appearances from the broadcasting side. They say how about going out to a good place.”

“and… … .”

In fact, I did just that.

‘I released a fan song without publicity, but it became a spontaneous viral and won first place’? First of all, isn’t the story going well?

Being an unknown singer must have had more impact, but being a first-team idol, there must have been a part where aggro was more attractive.

‘Call me too.’

I fidgeted with the back of my neck.

It’s been quite a while since the song itself became popular, not because of the name value of the singer and the popularity that fans support.

It’s a situation where you should be excited and happy enough, but… … .

“But this is our end.”

“that… It is.”

That’s it.

other content… No.

‘I made it by cramming for two weeks, what do you want?’

I didn’t even choreograph. In other words, it was a freestyle that I learned on the spot.

But in this situation, of course, everyone expects that there will be additional content.

Even those who firmly believe that there will be a big picture.

-I’m sure this is a build-up

look

.

But on this team… There is no guy who can ignore the opportunity that rolls in.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Anything we do… Should I?”

overtime confirmed.

It was the moment Rabin Kim’s energy drink turned into a group ration.
