Debut or Die

Chapter 287

If you can’t debut, you’ll die of a disease. Episode 287

‘s teaser for V-tic begins with an ominous siren sound and an antique four-legged bathtub.

Weiyiing~

‘Hmm?’

For a while, the office worker who was watching the teaser was puzzled, saying that the combination did not suit them.

The sound of the siren slowly fades away and the place is filled with the sound of water dripping into the bathtub.

Talk-.

Talk-.

A screen inside a white marble tile where only a black bathtub exists.

The moment the siren disappeared and only the sound of water droplets remained.

Click.

image goes by

Red candle, index finger to mouth, sign of silence, old book, virus rescue, drop of blood, ominous sign.

Talk-.

And the last… These are the feet of a man entering a bathtub.

Incredible sense of speed and symbolism.

At the moment when the image cuts like those flashbacks are over, I wonder if the stillness and black screen will help me breathe for a short time.

Elegant and soft string instruments fill the screen.

[Uh~ woo woo woo woo woo woo]

A cappella like humming.

At the same time, the screen lights up.

It was a cut of the bathtub I just saw, but… .

“… !”

The bathtub was half-broken, rising into the air. The hard shape, which grabbed the body as if squeezing it out, was raising the bathtub.

It was the eight tentacles of a dark green cephalopod that were intensely sculpted.

The camera shows the dangerous inside of the bathtub.

There was a figure lying in it, submerged up to his neck in water.

It was a silver-haired man. Perhaps because of the light on the screen, the reflected light looked green.

‘dyeing??’

Before the viewer can think further. Cheongryeo opened her eyes.

[

This moment when you need to understand that you can

forget what you can’t understand ]

A melody in a minor key gently wraps around the screen, and light flows down from the broken ceiling onto the bathtub.

Light pours down on Cheongryeo’s languid face.

‘Look at his face.’

Around the time when office workers felt a reflexive admiration for a cut that even touched them.

Cuts of the other three members slowly flowed and appeared on the screen.

[Uh~ woo woo woo woo woo woo] Chae-yul

holding her index finger to her mouth in front of a huge stained glass window, Shin-oh holding a candle in the dark hallway, and Ju-dan wearing a black robe over her head in the forest.

And the screen of Cheong-ryeol submerged in the bathtub that came back.

The last verse ends with a graceful cut where you lie down until your head is submerged in the water and a whispering low note.

[Blow out the candle right]

Pot.

An empty bathtub falls alone from the air.

“… !”

There is no trace of the legs of the cephalopods that were constricted and supported. Right before it hits the floor and shatters into pieces.

At that moment, the screen freezes.

And ominous black letters are engraved on it.

The [He got a Permission to Explore my Land]

sentence becomes a title by rearranging only capital initials.

[HELP]

And the moment the last letter is reversed.

[HELL]

The sound of the bathtub breaking echoed on the black screen.

“… … .”

That’s how the video ended.

“ah.”

The office worker tried to respond with a voice for a while, but then consciously stopped.

But the brain already knew. Looking at the updated real-time response, it was impossible not to know.

-OMG is it real?

-Mimi-Crazy guys -No

, what

-This year, they’re doing all the V-ticks That

VTIC has brought a crazy title with a concept that their fans will go crazy with.

Even with a cool horror sense perfect for summer.

“… You will earn well.”

The office worker gave an estimate, and Hyunta came.

And I wanted to ask the idol I caught.

Thinking that it would be nice if a slump album that would break the upward trend would come out now, but not.

‘Why did you guys bring a season song to this country?’

* * *

“… … .”

I browsed social media.

-I almost got shortness of breath

-It’s so good that I’m going crazy Dressed-up song concept Please let’s go on like this

-I have a firm belief that it won’t be a teaser scam I need to

protect it as it’s made by V-tic -Isn’t this an annual car? There’s no sign of it ?ah V-tic is a professional idol~

These are the reactions to the VTIC teaser.

It can be seen that the fans who are really thrilled are running excitedly, not just posting good news for the sake of public opinion.

“hmm.”

The song definitely went well.

Just looking at it, you can tell that the horror concept has been refined to the limit so that the horror concept is not crude, and has accumulated thick layers.

‘Even to the people who listened to the previous album, I thought you made it look like a grand finale.”

The advantages of the repackage were also maximized.

Thanks to this song, the concept of the previous album was completely overturned and it seemed to give room for a new interpretation.

It was said that it was a 20th century cosmic horror concept, but it seems to have worked well to the point that it was not a one-dimensional cool feature.

-The timing is perfect for the previous album, Broadway

. Didn’t this only exist in 2D?

– I can already hear the sound of overseas fans going

crazy .

rode the updraft

‘Sophisticated.’

They meet the demand that the public can expect from a popular idol in almost every respect.

Intense group dance using camera work dancers entering the right place. Costumes that are not overly experimental.

The popularity that neutralizes the first teaser, which is conceptual to the extreme, is visible.

‘I thought my vocals would be weak.’

This is also well adjusted to the level that is comfortable to listen to. It’s not like I just ate it.

To summarize… It is an activity that fans will clap their hands and cheer.

‘There is no luck.’

I chuckled. It was something I guessed from the moment I saw the dyed cheongryeo anyway.

Still, I was worried that I might lose my senses when I was about to go out, but on the contrary, as I became less cautious, the song became more interesting.

‘hmm.’

“Let’s stop, Moondae~ We’re busy watching ours too~”

“Yeah.”

I turned the screen of my smartphone obediently at the sound of drying.

“exorcism!”

Even if I keep looking at the same people, it’s not something I can change, and it just makes my heart complicated.

But actually, I’m not very nervous.

‘It doesn’t overlap.’

It’s because I became a latecomer and the part I was most wary of was resolved.

The concept genre these guys are aiming for is completely different from ours.

However, it seems that there were some people who thought deeply about this.

It’s because Bae Se-jin said this after the schedule that day was over.

“Hey, is this okay?”

“yes?”

“I’m talking about our teaser. I feel a bit… .”

“iced coffee.”

If you only look at the teaser… I see what you mean. I nodded.

“I think it will be fine.”

“… Are you sure?”

“yes. Rather, it will be beneficial. Any reaction is a topic after all.”

If public opinion is to be overturned anyway, it is just a build-up that raises the plate.

And a few days later, VTIC’s music video was released two days before our first teaser.

* * *

VTIC’s music video maximized the feeling of the teaser and mixed it with a slightly more pathetic and sexy feeling.

An ominous occult element pays homage to the splendid and relaxed Broadway scene of the previous album, creating goosebumps and creating a sense of tension.

Above all, it was cool without any parts that were childish or broke the atmosphere.

– This should be handed down as a cultural heritage. -It’s

lamentable

that I can only express it like this. VTIC is a god

. Are you a fan of them? hahaha

? haha haha I can see it!

– It’s really amazing to be kept in check this year. How far are you planning to grow?

From the reaction videos pouring in and the satisfaction of the acclaimed fans.

At first, reactions such as ‘the song is so splendid that it makes you tired’ and ‘difficult’ have reversed over time. Because the sound quality was good.

-Muggles are also attached, what

should I do through popular chanting Lee Jean

? This comment will be deleted when the tester comes out.

? Yes? The group that pushes easy listening into each album because they want to somehow appear popular?

? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

.

Their fans became more reluctant to the news of Testa’s comeback with the VTIC-down title that satisfies them without betraying their expectations.

Even if they hadn’t announced their activities so close together, they would have enjoyed VTIC’s activities without worrying.

-The rude + stupid combo is really crazy – I’m

worried

that

it will disappear after being number one for a week

A great clash between male idols of the highest weight class!

Isn’t it so much fun to compare and evaluate whoever wins?

Even some fast-paced agencies hastened the comeback of idols who lack recognition. It was definitely at this time when the ratings for music shows were the highest this year.

-Testa teaser will be out soon

-Ah, fun haha

-Isn’t it buried in Vticks? Hahaha

?Seeing what’s going on every day, it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen

?hahahahahaha

And when Testa’s teaser finally came out, the usual teaser etc. even clicked on people who would otherwise have been skipped.

Because I want to compare it with VTIC!

However, at this time, in fact, people had already given VTIC a decision victory, so they clicked on the video with more perseverance.

Click!

[TeSTAR (Testa) ‘Promise’ (Promise) Official Concept Teaser]

And in fact, ambiguous reactions began to flow.

-???

-Hmm,

the video was a short first-person exploration of swimming in the deep sea and going up to the surface.

A slow bass and string accompaniment sounded without the main melody.

The video is dark and there is a calm and deep background sound… Strangely, it even looked similar to VTIC’s teaser.

-It looks like an experiential VR game

. -Umm

-It’s amazing.

-I am the only one who thinks of Vtic? Haha

And after a while, social media and the community were covered with harsh reviews.

It seemed like a branch similar to VTIC, but it wasn’t as impressive.

It made me want to pour harsher evaluations and ridicule.

-That’s the passable thing I’ve heard every time, it’s like an otaku

-Yeah, I can feel it just by looking at the V-tic backwards compatible teaser

-They’re standardized now, they just do what they used to do and go on tour. It’s an unstoppable flow

. ?

-Well, that’s why it’s no big deal to have a producing member in the group, but at this point, I feel like I’m losing my senses. It’s a pity

. In the meantime, there must have been some determined VTIC fans mixed in, but the general opinion was clear anyway.

-It’s a check, so don’t worry too

much about it and

go

. Although the anonymous account called “Song” was also active, most of the fans silently waited for the next rice cake.

It was because of the trust that had been built up over the years.

I don’t know anything else, but Testa’s album quality has never been bad!

and a week later

Testa’s real music video has been released.

– The music video was delayed –

Horror

again?

The thumbnail of Testa’s music video was a beautiful white sandy beach with blue waves.

-???

-X is bright?? It

was a teaser scam!

No, everyone thought this moment was a teaser scam.

People clicked on the video, somewhat bewildered.
