Debut or Die

Chapter 357

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 357

Sudden announcement of a schedule that has already been canceled on the same day?

of course it doesn’t work

It’s because there are many cases where the situation is not possible regardless of the truth and nabalgo.

So the day I resumed my activities was free. Appropriately, ‘Green light to resume activities after two days of testa… There were articles like ‘Managing recovery’.

Thanks to this, the members had plenty of time during the day and performed only according to the schedule that the company conducted directly.

“Um~ I’m sorry and thankful to the company staff.”

“Ugh. It really is… .”

okay. Even if I had to pay a penalty, the sudden artist issue would have been a headache, so the company paid for it this time. thank you to the staff

just i expected

‘Still, I’d be damned.’ -No matter how much it is,

everyone is taking

a break during the active period

due to body aches.. Well, isn’t it too exceptional? Dog weirdness

Big Sejin quickly posted an SNS post according to the situation, but it was obvious what these guys would say after the ‘Byeolbyeolgok’ incident.

‘I’ll have to deal with it first.’

As a cause provider, isn’t suturing an essential procedure?

I refined some plans and hit the internet.

‘hmm… ?’

But to my surprise, it didn’t turn out the way I expected.

Instead, the Billboard charts were slightly different from the news of our hiatus.

“and… I forgot this.”

“That’s right. I think I was mistaken for a while by confusing the previous movie OST with this title.”

me really

‘Somehow he thinks good.’

It’s okay to honestly say that I was distracted because of the chaos with Sun Ah-hyun.

I shook my head and lowered the screen.

Once the album chart. Billboard 200.

[8. ?WEAPON for you? / new!]

8th place.

“Ohhhh.”

“A single digit… .”

After the mess, the members confirmed later that they like it, but in fact, this is a predictable range.

It was not uncommon for a KPOP boy group that was well-known in the US to reach the top 5 on the Billboard album chart in its heyday.

‘Still, it’s a result I really like.’

It is a sign that the chronic bearishness problem abroad has been resolved.

The problem is:

Song chart aka Hot100.

[15. Savior / new!]

“… … ?”

“omg?”

this… landed on the 15th.

‘what?’

You might wonder why it’s lower than the album chart, but it’s several times more difficult for a foreign language song to break through the ranks on this music chart than an album. It’s because you need a level of popularity to offset the fact that it’s a foreign language, or a ridiculously huge fandom to push it away.

So this… It’s kind of weird.

‘I expected a top 30 at best… ?’

No, actually, if it wasn’t for the movie OST that was released right before the 30th place, it’s a ranking that I wouldn’t have dared to do.

‘This… When Testa released a performance-oriented song a few years ago, it’s a ranking comparable to the Korean weekly music charts.’

It’s about to shake.

And thanks to this, the Internet reaction to Testa’s suspension of activities was organized.

I mean like this.

-The water is rushing in, but the oar is smashed~

-If I’m a star, my stomach will tear

-Can you put up with this? I must have been really sick ha ha ha ha ha ha –

Aren’t you

trying to go to America quickly?

In addition, conspiracy theories such as ‘It’s a noise caused by speeding up the schedule on the American side’ occurred, and the bullshit behind the scenes was absorbed all the time.

“… … .”

The real thing worked out wonderfully, but I still don’t know what the principle of this is.

Bae Se-jin also asks the locals with eyes full of disbelief whether he has studied on WiTube.

“this… Is it true that it comes out this well?”

However, the locals declined to comment.

“I don’t know! I don’t look at billboards often.”

“Then what are you watching?”

“Umm Dotifiy~”

“Dotifiy?”

It is a global music streaming site popular in the US.

‘… It’s streaming.’

I realized in that moment.

“ah.”

yes. You should have checked where you got your points from.

I immediately checked the Billboard score ratio.

Music Sales Streaming Index Radio On Air… .

“hmm.”

‘There are more on-air scores than I thought.’

Foreign language songs are not likely to be played on American radio, but considering that, I comply. The company seems to have spent its money well.

And, of course, the fandom has the highest sales volume of digital music, but… .

“… !”

‘Isn’t streaming okay?’

Yes. There is almost no difference between streaming and similar ranking songs up and down.

Also this… .

“Cha Yoo-jin, do you have a Dotify account?”

“there is!”

“Show me some.”

I went into Cha Yu-jin’s smartphone and looked at the rankings.

‘No. 26 on the global chart.’

Considering that it’s been about two weeks since its release, it’s been a great hold.

And if you check the US charts, not the global… .

[25. Savior / by TeSTAR]

“Ooh~ I like the 25th place!”

“… !”

higher than global?

This is also deformed. Usually, KPOP has a higher global index than in the US… .

“How long do you use your phone?”

“wait for a sec.”

While looking at the fan account on my smartphone, I kept checking Dotify’s streaming rankings on Cha Yoo-jin’s phone.

And I realized

“It’s a promotion.”

“… promotion? advertisement?”

“Yes, I think I recommended this song to people who listened to our movie OST.”

The title of this testa will be told to those who have heard ‘Black Hole’ from ?Cosmic Gunner?.

In the direction of the connection, the US promotion algorithm was commissioned.

‘… It’s effective.’

It’s a song composed by the same guys and sung by the same guys, and since the sample was used with a similar feel, of course it fits my taste.

Maximize natural promotional effect.

In addition, the image established through our movie cameos and appearances in variety shows created a synergistic effect.

‘… It’s the alien image of my pace gamer.’

So it seems that even the incomprehensible lyrics acted as their own unique charm and softened the reluctance.

So, to sum up…

“You did a good job at the company.”

“yes.”

Liu Chengwu’s words cannot be denied.

I can feel the tenacity to somehow squeeze the US market…

There’s only one guy who can do this.

“here. Well written.”

“yes!”

I returned Cha Yoo-jin’s smartphone and ate it.

mouth is bitter

‘… The general manager is doing a good job.’

It seems that he did not have an American business soldier for nothing. Or have you felt something through trial and error?

It’s a good thing, but it feels strange. Is it because I think of him as X-bob from the inside?

“Moondaemundae~ Won’t you come down?”

“hmm.”

I got off at the concept photo set for the tour and finished my thoughts.

For now, I’m working… I guess I should set up a dotify account for monitoring.

I opened an account for the United States that day, ignoring Cha Yu-jin’s advice.

And the very next day you realize that this was a pretty good idea.

It was a night when my schedule got busy and I crawled into the dorm past midnight.

When I sat in the bathtub to relax.

[Hyung tongue! Did you see this?]

While checking the status window without thinking, I suddenly see the big moon typing frantically on the status window.

[A new girl group appeared like a comet… Is Powty taking over the billboard]

[Youngrin junior Powty “Please love all the double titles!”]

[Powty attacks global music charts, ‘NEXT Youngrin’ appears]

“… … .”

After reading the pouring text.

I struggled to open my mouth.

“It’s a double title.”

[yes… .]

And access the Dotify account opened for monitoring to see the ranking.

A new song that has just been ranked is floating.

[14. Love Soul / by Powty]

[17. Underwater / by Powty]

Two songs in the top 10.

When you click it, a trendy English dance song appears.

-Hey goody do you want a… .

Texture like commercial music. It sticks well to the ears. Even if it is obvious, it is a well-known masterpiece that anyone will like.

“… … .”

I stopped playing the music and pressed my temples.

“this… ”

X haircut.

What kind of situation is this?

[that… A teaser parody of the two titles was a big hit on Tic Tac Tok, and the response was good even in the US… .]

Thank you for the supplementary explanation, but in fact, the cause is not important now.

In any case, the result that these rookies made a huge jackpot outside the standard is important.

‘It’s X.’

… First of all, let’s look at what ‘KPOP record breaking’ I was aiming for.

[Two testa songs listed at the top of the Billboard Hot100 chart at the same time]

This is it.

As you can see, it was a choice considering that our movie OST will definitely be on the Billboard charts by now.

Because the OST will run for a long time until the movie is released to the public and continues to be exposed.

Then, I thought it would be possible if only the title was maintained well.

‘I looked it up and found out that this wasn’t even aimed at VTIC.’

On the other hand, the album is strong and the songs are less popular.

So, since the huge fandom just decided on the title and drove it with purchasing power, I didn’t even use this uneconomical method.

so i thought you were right

‘I hit this part and go in.’

The original record is a way to be swayed by public perception, except for the traditional net exhaust.

Depending on how common it is recognized, it can become a meaningful record or end up as their own media play.

In that sense… Isn’t it quite impactful to see the same singer’s name appearing twice in the top 20?

Of course, the big moon was also checked.

– Do you think it will? Ohhh! the first!

It was like this.

‘So I thought it was almost confirmed and proceeded… .’

But here suddenly a rookie does something similar?

I rolled my head right away.

‘Unless a bigger change happens, the sales volume or the final score of streaming will inevitably be lower for rookies than us.’

In other words, according to Billboard, which calculates weekly results, we win unconditionally.

‘But that’s not the point.’

Even if the song ranks lower than ours, isn’t it the way the public perceives us as dark horses?

-Amazing, Great. A rookie is fighting for rankings with Testa

– What’s going on

with K-Pop this year? What does this mean as a record… .

“… … .”

damn… No, I try to live.

“… hmm.”

I held my breath and asked as nonchalantly as possible.

“Anyway, our Billboard ranking came first, so the mission condition would be success, but two songs were listed in the top 20 for the first time. Then there’s nothing to worry about.”

Anyway, since we did it first, call it the first time and hit the mission success. This is it.

However, the big moon did not answer.

And as if creaking and slowly making excuses, the letters are slowly engraved.

[In this case… Uh, in public perception… It’s hard to say it’s an overwhelming record, but it’s a bit of a comparison because the active times overlap… . Especially if it’s a rookie group.]

“… … .”

this kid… ?

[It’s not my will, it’s my unconscious… ! Is it because the systemic unconscious judges? ! ??]

[I’m sorry hyung, but I really don’t know either. Will it be?]

“… … .”

Yeah, it’s not your fault.

‘Will it be? It won’t work.’

I sighed.

The young company is not stupid, and since it has become like this, it makes the media bite unconditionally while comparing it to Testa, who is active at the same time.

‘Because it’s perfect for raising the grade.’

Moreover, since they are a group with different genders, there is less feeling of fighting directly.

Then, the picture that Testa is recognized for its impact as a solo record has no choice but to skip water.

Because similar minor cases are catching up with momentum.

“… okay.”

I cooled my head.

‘Younglin… It’s a young young junior.’

And I realized They must have been introduced by Youngrin during the awards season last year. I smiled bitterly.

Anyway, there are so many variables in this neighborhood, so a tuk-tuk competitor pops up like this.

[brother… … .]

But now is not the time to accept it as a competition.

You have to tear it out completely.

To do so… I will have to intervene artificially.

“… … .”

It’s an intervention method.

I bowed my head in thought.

Opaque water filled with bath salts slithered. I can’t see even an inch ahead, it seems like the current situation… .

for a moment.

“ah.”

Right.

‘The water must be muddy.’

Let’s break the plate.

“This is fine as long as these rookies and us aren’t mentioned together.”

[?? that is… Is it okay?]

Why not ?

‘It’s enough to blur the tone and attach a different weight class.’

It’s enough to make a more fun version for the public.

I sat and contemplated until the bathtub water cooled.

slash and slash

in the most profitable direction.

and the next day.

“Manager, wait a minute.”

“yes?”

Before I even left my early morning schedule, I applied for an interview with the general manager.

It was the first voluntary contact since the contract with the label, and I wonder how it will be received.

hmm. and one more.

As I got into the car, I picked up my phone and texted.

[If you see the text message, please contact me when possible.] As

soon as I put this in, I got a call right away.

-Ah hello, senior!

“hello.”

-yes!

It’s been a while since I heard a military voice.

“Thank you for calling. I have a question.”

Park Min-ha of the female idol group Mirinae, who is her immediate junior.

After a bit of a pause, I got to the point.

“Are you not worried these days?”

-… yes?

“It’s a matter of group orientation.”

okay.

I already established a label, so I want to contribute to the company.
