Debut or Die

Chapter 325

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 325

KPOP. A newly coined word that mainly refers to Korean idol music.

In fact, it is not a name given by itself in Korea.

‘Perhaps the word has been around since the days of the Korean Wave.’

So, if the new mission is to ‘break KPOP records’, isn’t there a high probability that only records that are recognized abroad will be recognized?

Status Window I asked for confirmation by text message.

[I’ve never thought of it that way, but I think it’s true]

Oh, I guess it didn’t get updated because I asked about it, even though it worked on any popular record.

I closed my smartphone with a prickly heart.

After returning home, I am sitting on the bed in my room.

Are you going well? As soon as the completed copy of the special stage choreography arrives, you have to go to the practice room. It’s because the end of the year isn’t such a fun season.

And likewise, the roommate who was sitting on his bed and waiting opened his mouth.

“If I have to break records, I will have to do better than all my predecessors in the end.”

“Yes.”

He said ‘I’ll think about it’ from the car, and he seemed to be really thinking about it. What a sincere guy

The words that followed were characteristic of his personality.

“Why don’t we take a look at a new evaluation item recently? It’s easy for a new item to make a record.”

It was a realistic remark worthy of a person who has run as an athlete. I broke my jaw.

“Let’s see. First of all, there are tolerable records in Asia… .”

VTIC ate them all. X feet.

“haha. Did the seniors work hard?”

“yes.”

It really was. Even the Million Seller Dome Tour, which won first place for several weeks, has already set all the records.

Even while Testa focused on securing a domestic presence, VTIC even solidified its global presence… It can be seen that it was scratched and eaten.

“The same goes for South America.”

“okay.”

Previously, the neighborhoods where the K-pop market was a hit had outstanding records. Renewing this during next summer is a reckless challenge with only one live ammunition.

And it is not necessarily the records of the predecessors that are the only obstacles.

“Everyone is still working hard. Good grades.”

Globally, not only VTIC but quite a few groups have better grades than Testa.

Liu Cheng-wu nodded as well, probably remembering what he heard in the company briefing.

“Well, it is difficult. Even if you try your best to create a good stage, there is no guarantee that the result will be good.”

The entertainment industry is like that.

“It’s a big question of timing and luck.”

“okay. There are many similarities, but I think it’s a bit different from sports in this area.”

Liu Qingyu smiled bitterly.

“I tried to break records when I was a player, but celebrities don’t just win and lose… It seems to be very complicated that you have to win people’s hearts.”

“Iknow, right.”

I nodded and Liu Chengyu seemed lost in thought.

The atmosphere is flowing with a story that is deeper than expected. Better catch a little bit.

I slightly brought up the topic.

“Now that I’ve heard it, I’m also curious about what record you challenged before.”

“huh? haha. It’s not a big deal, it’s a challenge for everyone. Asian Games, World Championships, Olympic 3 Gold. Those are the kids who will try to do it as the youngest.”

“… … .”

3 gold?

I don’t know what kind of industry Korean archery is.

‘What kind of gold medal do you talk about as winning a regional league?’

The ecosystem over there is beyond common sense.

“You are wonderful.”

“It was great, but it failed. I was not selected as a starter at the world championships.”

Liu Qingyu grinned as if he was a bit embarrassed.

“Still, I got a record for being the youngest at the Olympics.”

“That is great enough.”

“Haha, will it break again soon? A lot of young friends came up to the selection finals… .”

“… !”

for a moment. Something seems to come out of those words.

‘The youngest.’

Suddenly, a new road flashes in my mind.

‘… yes. That kind of approach is possible.’

Not simply aiming for the best overall score, but subdividing the record items themselves in different directions.

To the extent that it can be used externally, towards ‘items that appear to be present’.

‘Okay, it came out.’

I’m going to have to grab a strand this way. I nodded.

“Anyway, I’ll think about your question some more. I’m sorry I can’t tell you anything useful right now.”

“No thank you. I think I got a hint.”

“… ? okay? If so, that’s good.”

His face was that he was not sure where he got it from, but Ryu Cheng-wu just laughed it off.

I added a word just in case.

“You can rest assured that we will never think of anything to the detriment of Testa’s common interests.”

“I’ve never been so worried… okay.”

Ryu Cheng-wu agreed to that extent.

It’s a plainness that is no different from the reaction I showed when I said ‘I have to ride the target’ last time.

“… … .”

Come to think of it, he didn’t even ask why I asked this until the end. It seemed like he guessed that it would be burdensome.

‘What kind of guys are there?’

Same goes for the car. Uncharacteristically, I was a little impressed by the situation, so I moved on and rubbed it in the cold… .

Come to think of it, I wonder how the hell this guy is understanding this situation.

‘He seemed like the type who didn’t believe in the supernatural at all.’

Aren’t ghosts the ones who don’t treat you at all?

No matter how much there was a bottom meal before, isn’t it too unrealistic to jump over with the trust in Park Moon-dae that he has been through?

‘It doesn’t look like he has other plans.’

I rubbed the back of my neck and just sighed.

oh i don’t know Let’s just ask.

“brother.”

“huh?”

“What I said in the car earlier… I was wondering how my brother was so sure of my situation.”

“… … .”

“Honestly, it seemed like nonsense.”

The proposition, ‘Ryu Gun-woo and Park Moon-dae switched bodies’ is true.

Liu Qingyu smiled shyly.

“Well, I actually tried to come up with another explanation… There were gaps in everything.”

“… … .”

“But at first, I wondered if the two of them were influenced by each other so much that they shared a lot as if they were one. I thought I should take that into account and treat it well.”

I remembered what he had suggested to me, ‘You can speak comfortably’.

‘Is that why?’

But the explanation did not end there.

“Then, I met ‘Ryu Gun-woo’ today… and realized it wasn’t there.”

Ryu Cheng-wu calmly concluded.

“They were very different. … As if they were swapped.”

“… … .”

“So, it reminded me of what you said on the mountain last time, like lightning.”

-just… I acted the way I did.

Liu Qingyu laughed.

“If you take it literally, everything you’ve been questioning will fit right in. cleanly.”

“… … .”

“Your knowledge, coping skills, things like trauma. And the reactions of you and Ryu Gun-woo on the spot.”

Liu Qingyu smiled bitterly.

“And why did you get angry with me and avoid me before… same thing.”

“… … .”

“It made so much sense.”

GNOME’s summer package.

Have you already thought about why I had seizures with your car accident story?

I kept my mouth shut and Liu Chengwu continued to speak quietly.

“At that time, it was like I understood you one-sidedly, but… In fact, you also looked at me a lot. yes? Sorry.”

“… no.”

I barely answered.

“It is absolutely right for me to apologize.”

Liu Qingyu laughed.

“Stubbornness seems to run in the family.”

“… … .”

“Anyway, that’s how I found out. Of course, I still don’t know the principle… It’s okay if you don’t know. You don’t have to listen to it.”

After all, this guy… It was based on reason and exercised instinctive judgment.

On top of that, since he’s such an easy-going guy, it seemed like the situation fit well and flowed smoothly all the way up to this point.

‘Besides, the value of the information was especially high after hearing it like this.’

In the end, I laughed too.

“It is embarrassing to hear explanations every time without being able to explain properly. thank you.”

“Because it’s okay.”

Liu Qingyu grinned, but his expression changed as if he remembered something.

“Well, come to think of it, that wasn’t the end.”

“yes?”

What else is there?

“actually… I even heard it myself unintentionally.”

Ryu Cheng-wu looked a little embarrassed.

“When I went out to talk on the phone at a restaurant earlier, I was standing outside the door trying to catch up on the timing before I came in… … .”

for a moment.

“… So maybe.”

“huh. He called you hyung very naturally.”

Are you confirmed there?

After all, it’s not wrong to have a sad premonition. Got it.

I felt a pull in the back of my neck at the situation I was concerned about, but it was soon gone.

‘Anyway, it worked out well.’

It’s like a phone call. Suddenly, I saw Ryu Cheng-wu.

and said abruptly.

“I wish you all the best in the future.”

“Haha, please take good care of me.”

I suddenly came to create an assistant who didn’t have to hide my identity.

And not long after, the door bursts open and other guys come in.

“Everyone~ The choreography is here~”

It was time to practice again.

“okay? for a moment.”

Liu Qingyu immediately stood up and said as if adding to me:

“Let’s come back and continue talking about that KPOP record.”

“yes.”

I think I can think about it alone, but I had to talk steadily unless I was going to act alone anyway.

So I nodded my head obediently, but the response came from another guy after Ryu Cheng-wu left.

It’s a big word.

“What is Moondaemun University’s KPOP record?”

“We were debating what we could target next.”

Anyone can see, isn’t it a productive idea to do with a leader?

“Oh~ You seem to have become much more comfortable with Chung Woo-hyung after you became roommates at the university?”

Big Sejin smiled. Then he deliberately pretends to cry.

“Hey, just the two of us went out to play, but Sejin is not the only one who feels left out… .”

How did you know this quick-witted bastard secretly went out?

“You were on the phone with the entertainment MC at the time, what?”

“Ah, when our main vocalist’s best friend Moondae called, he hung up and ran right away~”

he said casually without spitting.

I was about to hit him on the back, but I hesitated at the momentary thought.

‘… Come to think of it, I said I would tell him if I could tell him about my circumstances.’

… Liu Cheng-wu already caught me first.

“… … .”

“Mundae?”

After all, should I voluntarily explain to this guy?

But this… I didn’t get caught, so I don’t know if it’s okay to say it openly. Is the risk too great?

Isn’t it possible to restart again if you said it yourself and failed to persuade?

Besides, this bastard has the personality to listen to everything from one to ten of what the hell is going on the moment he confides.

I’m worried that if I think about explaining it all to an idiot who doesn’t even know what the status window is, I’m worried that I won’t believe it or not.

I was silent for a moment, but then I held back a sigh and opened my mouth.

“… Then, when the time is right, let’s go out by ourselves.”

Still, if I get a chance, I’ll have to give it a shot. What Ryu Cheong-woo knows and only this guy doesn’t know, the moment he makes a mistake later, the picture becomes strange.

“… ! I finally want to get out of the house! Okay, okay~ I’ll take a look!”

no, dude

Keun Se-jin chuckled and patted my back, but I silently went out the front door with the members.

‘I have more work to do… .’

How to explain this unreal situation to that guy.

‘I decide this slowly while noticing.’

I put that thought aside and brought back the original worry.

‘So, to make the KPOP record breaking, which is the mission goal, even easier… .’

1. Pioneering new markets 2.

Subdivision of

new evaluation items .

Then, even if the items are subdivided, the market is large enough to look authoritative, and the public awareness is good, and there are still pie left to eat… .

I unconsciously spit out an expected answer.

“USA.”

“Are we going to America?”

“no.”

are only candidates.

“Boo… .”

Cha Yoo-jin, who reacted like lightning, walked past me and got into the car with her shoulders drooping. Still, there is no difference.

‘It’s not just one or two cases of failure after entering the US.’

There are other things that need to be prioritized.

‘From the analysis.’

Starting from which market the testa will have an advantage in, it draws all the data values, builds a method, and enters.

I will never do anything to ram the head into the United States.

And to do that… I should be able to sleep as I want more with planning and activity plans.

I broke my neck.

‘It’s about time.’

And he remembered the contents of the contract he had renewed with the general manager.

-If Testa wins the grand prize at the annual awards ceremony during the following year, we fully support Testa’s establishment of a new independent label.

Here the subject has already been burned.

So the time has come to create an independent label for Testa.
