Debut or Die

Chapter 219

If you can’t debut, you’ll die. The video for episode 219

started with Ryu Cheong-wu sitting motionless under a pine tree.

[…] … .]

The pine forest in the background was a clear night. The moment when the blue eyes shining in it disappear under the eyelids.

Peeing-

The screen flickered, as if reminiscing, the past and the future were grafted together.

dazzling day. It was the moment when Liu Cheng-wu, who had sent the arrow, reaped the palace with a smile.

Suddenly, the cut changed to an expressionless Ryu Cheng-wu holding a black musket, and a bullet came out of the muzzle.

bang!

And the scene where the bullet was fired slowly changed to a cut where a similar-sized gold coin bounced in front of Lee Se-jin’s face.

Tithing –

And Lee Se-jin’s hands, which were bouncing gold coins, suddenly turned into fancy hand movements that were dancing in the palace.

swish

After that, the five-colored cloth fluttering in the air turned into a faded string, and the light of Bakmundae tied around the string like a bracelet was reflected.

Piece by piece, cuts that could have appeared in a music video were put together like a stream of consciousness and passed across the screen.

Using the slow, classically arranged melody of the parade as BGM.

-??? What is it?

– I think it was taken during the parade and sout

– Waiting for interpretation

People were taken aback by the sudden video, but primarily enjoyed the great visual beauty and the new cuts of the members.

It should have looked like a collection of B-cuts, but the arrangement of the exquisite cuts gave off a hint of symbolism.

And as it progressed a little further, some noticed the composition.

-This is coming up in reverse order of the teaser

? Huh

? Crazy Goosebumps

.

The cuts of the members were appearing in reverse order in the order in which each solo song appeared in the upcoming teaser.

It wasn’t even once.

When the cut of Seon Ah-hyun reaching for the surface of the water, which appeared at the very beginning of the teaser, appeared, it turned into a cut of Ryu Chung-wu turning the musket and snatching it.

The beginning and the end are connected.

The cut continued as if the flashback continued.

Whoops!

over and over again.

Faster with a great sense of speed.

The artistic cuts that crossed each other as if they were being chased came to an abrupt stop, just like when they started.

click.

The moment when Cha Yoo-jin grabbed Ryu Cheong-wu’s hand and lifted him up, and the citizenship application in his hand was close-up.

[Ding-.]

Suddenly, the cut was fixed.

And instead, out of nowhere, the face of Bae Se-jin, who was standing behind Cha Yu-jin, was illuminated.

With close-ups that are relaxed and fixed like a movie.

[…] … .]

The face revealing thoughts seemed to tell who the subject of the reminiscence expressed in the previous numerous cuts was.

[Wahhahaha!]

Eventually, Bae Se-jin quietly moved her feet behind the members who were excitedly running around holding the application for citizenship.

My steps got faster and faster. The sound of laughter faded away.

Tadadak!

And soon, the place where Bae Se-jin was standing changed.

It was the huge window he looked down on this splendid city in the last music video.

The vast and exotic city was still there.

However, there was a document attached to the window that had not been shown in detail in the previous music video.

-Guidelines for responding to requests for citizenship certificates (yokai)

On the crumpled documents, there were numerous red circles on the ‘active refusal in case of emergency’… .

Which means the certificate of citizenship was useless bait.

[After.]

Bae Se-jin sighed and opened the document.

Then, hesitantly, he alternately looked at the papers and out the window. In a corner outside the window, the still-excited members flashed past… .

So his conflict did not last long.

[…] … .]

The theme melody of ‘Spring out’ was played with one string instrument.

Bae Se-jin slowly threw the papers to the floor. Then he took an old cloth from his pocket and started covering it over his eyes.

Like when you’re on the go.

A natural and clear voice narration flowed over it.

[If I were to be born again]

[I want to be born as a person like you.]

Bae Se-jin on the screen stretched out his hand toward the window without hesitation, with his eyes closed.

Slow close-ups and escalating music.

And the moment your hand touches it.

Took.

The music distorted and the vision reversed.

shhh.

Blackout and white noise.

And the screen came back to life.

Not Bae Se-jin, but black-haired Park Mun-dae, standing in his school uniform and taking his hand away from the window.

It was school.

He turned around and smiled at the camera.

The sunset was setting.

[…] … .]

It was a very familiar scene.

Then came the familiar sound of a chime.

????- ????- ??-

Magical boy melody.

The screen melted away with him.

[Still enchanted]

[See you in that dream]

left behind.

The video ended just like that.

-????????

-What did I see now

? Of course, but after that, Testa’s fandom was completely covered in a huge worldview linking rice cake for about three days.

* * *

“Excellent.”

The successive release of personal daily life and official worldview videos was also very effective. I skimmed through the SNS articles full of theories.

Let’s see, there are all sorts of stories.

-The taste of parallel worlds

-Think of it as a kind of inception A dream within a dream? Probably Coming > Magical Boy > Bareremi > It looks like an airplane

– Come to think of it, even during the picnic, strangely, all the scenes from the previous MV came out at the same time. ?

-???? My kids wanted to become human beings, not monsters

. (Drinking Kimchi Soup

seems to have made people more excited to be able to talk about it in various ways, starting with Bae Se-jin’s role and the order of the worldview, probably because of making it so meaningful

.

Of course, there are many fans who don’t really like the world view itself. These people must have been a bit squeamish the past

few

days

. If you ask me whether or not to play with the world view, I can feel it endlessly

– I thought it was a group with different concepts, but the scale is too big, so I’m a little tired

– I’ll have to see

Moondae brushing my teeth one more time. Then, within a few days, the fan community will be able to run comfortably. ‘

I don’t think there will be any

more stories about Seon Ah-hyun’

‘Well, I’m going to stop watching soon,’

so I’m going to consciously not watch the stories that are being talked about under the water for a while…. In fact

,

when I had a short meeting to solve this world view content a little quickly, the related story came out. -That’s

why… I decided not to look at the Internet much from now on…!

-Good work!

-Yes. I was a bit worried because it seemed like I was browsing too often

. I heard that it is good for me. It’s a great choice!

Rabin Kim seemed to have misunderstood me a little… But anyway, when it came to this, even Sejin shrugged his shoulders with an expression like ‘What can I do?’ These

guys unanimously agreed to my mental health I didn’t know that I would be concerned.

‘If anyone sees it, I’ll see that I’m a reclusive loner who is addicted to the Internet to the level of a dangerous group.’

Anyway, that’s why I had no choice but to nod my head in the end,

‘I’ll just live watching animal videos on Wetube for a few days. ‘

I thought to myself Connected via YouTube.

Algorithms did not come out because they did not leave viewing records and refused to collect related information. I was just thinking of sorting them by popularity and seeing them.

… But, of course, this video was the 5th most popular in real time.

[The big picture of Testa? Discover the route that leads Americans to K-pop ant hell!]

… ‘Azusa?’ I saw Westerners grabbing their heads with a speech bubble saying, “What is the world view?”

It was to the point of suffocating because the soup overflowed with aggro.

However, looking at the name of the YouTuber, he has seen it a few times.

‘The content itself was quite well organized.’

Roughly speaking, he was a guy who biasedly summarized the overseas Internet.

“… … .”

Then, about real-time popular videos… Doesn’t it really matter if you look at it? Isn’t it a thumbnail that even those who are not interested will see at least once?

‘By pretending, I think he must have been giving compliments.’

There is nothing to take a hit on. I immediately made a valid conclusion and clicked on the video.

Skip the obvious story that starts with ‘Hello Witube viewers’.

Let’s start playing at 1.5x speed.

[Everyone, in the last video, I told you why Testa’s popularity in the UK and the US increased.] [

The flow from the survival audition meme to ?Idol Inc.? is connected to the number of views of the ‘Spring out’ music video.]

The ‘old days’ The remark, “I remember it,” is intertwined with an East Asian meme, making a fuss about something that has become a hot topic.

[This oriental steampunk worldview thrilled the hearts of many good people. And what was thrown here is the new K-pop variety show ?K-NOW?.]

[The production team of ?Azusa? made it, and even it was a self-produced entertainment show on Netplus with good accessibility. Of course, Americans who became interested in the Testa-Azusa line started watching this program.]

Not until ‘rumble’. There were some people who were interested in KPOP enough to even watch < Azusa >.

The moment I thought it was too obvious, the next thing that was quite useful came out.

[However, this is not the end. ?K-NOW? hit the jackpot locally than expected!]

Oh, that’s right.

I heard that the “Azusa” production team’s hell K-pop camp has established itself quite successfully in the US.

Even so, it was not a really popular channel level because it was well produced for Netplus itself, but it means that the speaker has become a bit old to the general public on the Internet.

Of course, this YouTuber omitted the story altogether.

Still, the next words were quite sharp.

[The hit variety show attracted a wide range of public viewers. Here, with the meme as an opportunity, Old B who rode the Testa-Azusa line became active!

] This is because I highly recommended it.]

“… … !”

oh this is kinda new

‘Was there such an analysis?’

I thought I was just benefiting from overseas recognition because of my talent for entertainment, but I guess there was some movement within that as well.

[Viewers who were impressed with < K-NOW > ended up watching Testa’s music video or < Idol Inc. > and were newly introduced to KPOP!

] It can be seen as a move with a strong ripple effect.]

No one in the production team intended it, and the company said that it hadn’t even considered it, but I’ll bet this quarter’s settlement.

Because we haven’t painted until here either.

However, the YouTuber seems to be completely convinced of his theory.

[Then, how far does Testa’s big picture go?]

[Even just yesterday, a new video of Testa’s worldview was uploaded. The video connects the chronology of Testa’s activities so far.

] [In the end, even an indicator that their debut song ‘Magic Boy’ is inflow!]

[?Based on the video production date?]

… is it?

The graph attached to the video is a little exaggerated, but it sounds right.

[And last Monday, Testa finished this activity and entered a break. What kind of moves will the next album surprise us with?]

[Today’s video ends here.]

Hmm.

I rubbed my chin.

There are a lot of exaggerations and fuss, but even if you remove all of them and look at them, there are quite a few discussions worth considering.

‘The next album must be important again.’

It wasn’t like that before, but this time, it’s worth digesting the attention well as a fan base… I should choose a song that will work well both at home and abroad as the title song.

It’s good to grow steadily without stagnation, but there’s no time to breathe.

‘Should I take a closer look?’

Isn’t it okay to break away from the needs of existing fans just to create new ones? The more data, the better.

So, it was the moment I reflexively opened the Internet tab to start a detailed search.

“That’s a dumbass. Search?”

“… … ! just some.”

Seon Ah-hyun speaks in a small voice.

“Oh, I don’t see… oh no If you want to see Mundae, you will see it. I don’t want to see too many… .”

“… … .”

“Hey, because I promised… .”

OK.

“okay.”

“Ughhh!”

I turned off my smartphone. And I sighed inwardly.

‘Is there anything I can do?’

It’s going to be inactive soon, so there’s no need to figure out the schedule. Why are my hands and feet itching?

It was then.

Drooling!

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and a text message came.

“… … ?”

[Guide to notes for the 202X 1st Qualification Test Candidate]

Oh, that’s right.

Come to think of it, I applied for this just in time for my inactive period.

‘Should I just take a look at it?’

I calmly put down my smartphone on the road.

By the way, the people sitting next to me didn’t even know that they had seen this message in the blink of an eye.
