Debut or Die

Chapter 501

If you don’t debut, you’ll die from an illness Episode 501

A spacer with a comfortable concept like T-Holic.

Ether with a strong concept like Testa.

Articles about similar-looking junior groups with different agencies were posted and used as firewood in social media and communities.

It was a stimulating article even though the point of refutation was visible.

That’s why there were so many people who wanted to add a word, so aggro was attracted.

[You’re over the reporter line… (Link)]

[What do you think Spacer looks like T-Holic this time?]

[I’m the only one who thinks he’s like a concept-loving in-heart-church Jagangducheon] At

first glance, the two juniors seem to be two juniors. All groups may appear to be on the same line, but in fact there are crucial differences.

It is a matter of whether or not there exists a layer with intense antipathy.

For reference, the latter is a spacer.

– You say these guys resemble your old brothers? I’ll see you

– I miss you a little bit

What resembles the spacer’s position this time is the concept of T-Holic’s early-mid debut.

In other words, it is an old story that has already exceeded 10 years.

In addition, T-Holic had already passed its heyday and changed its positioning, so there was no direct comparison as contemporaries.

Rather, the quality is good enough to evoke strange nostalgia and enjoy the publicity effect.

But what about Ether?

– ??? Start again

– ?? Isn’t it boring

?

Last year’s Daesang Idol Idols in their heyday who reached a career high in album sales just a month or two ago.

It was absurd to inherit a living, breathing, present-day strongman with a topicality that is not even cut in half.

Moondae Park smiled and passed the smartphone.

‘Besides, there has already been a story among the fans that Ether is similar to Testa.’

Now, when a normal comparison group called ‘Spacer’ appears, even the public knows it.

-So, it seems that this rookie idol is conscious of Testa~

Of course, the content of the article did not openly proceed with the tone that Ether benchmarked and copied Testa’s concept.

It was just plainly said that each of the two groups was following the line of their senior idol group.

‘It can’t be too explicit.’

It was a natural choice to avoid giving the nuance of ‘the Testa spacer is driving public opinion’.

However, even if you do this, you can not calm down the ridicule and controversy that will happen in the first place.

-Is Spacer’s performance comparable to the all-time legend

? -There’s no

gag .

No ?? Please, understand the context.

? At this point, it seems like you just want to curse and don’t look at the context.

I couldn’t dare to compare sexually with the senior idols who are mentioned either way.

And here the trend of public opinion changes slightly.

People who compare spacers and ethers, who have become similar positions, appear.

‘Still, I’m trying to line up which one is better.’

The psychology of wanting to set a ranking by giving a comparative advantage to which one is the rising that has a more promising future!

VS play.

It was an eternally fun imagination.

And, of course, it was Eter’s win by decision based on the average grade so far.

-Spacer seems to have gotten caught on this one, and since the rookie of Wonder Hall came out with his teeth sharpened, honestly, is it ether?

-At least Ether has potential. Look at the grades of the kids who debuted right now haha

The problem is that as each person’s opinion comes and goes, the story becomes more and more easy to change radically to attract attention to the extreme.

Like this!

-To be honest, isn’t it a bit Eva to bring publicity to Spacer? Haha Isn’t it embarrassing to do this with a CF

song

?

The moment when logic leaps to the next level.

Rather, they become prey.

?? Hahahahaha ?What

are you saying, honestly, now Ether is Testa’s lower compatible capital and skills

? A group that imitated the incumbent target idol already said that hahahahahaha

Even though I’m not a fan, it’s funny ?Are you living in a different Korea than me

? I couldn’t figure out the real subject,

so mockery poured out.

It was different from positioning as Rising, a dark horse as a rival, being referred to as Testa like in the debut.

This isn’t about ‘Have you had a fight with Testa?’

It was ‘Have you inherited Testa?’

If so, the evaluation scale becomes very strict.

Because what you have to do as well as Testa becomes the reference point!

A group of crazy people who sell millions of albums, rank at the top of music charts, and win first place in the Idol of the Year vote!

-This is a failure if it is unplayed by Wonderhole

. -Eter

fans don’t

think

so.

He came to claim that ‘Testa and Ether are different’.

There is no choice but to draw the line unconditionally.

Of course, it was like this under the water.

-Retired shacks are really

irritating

.

Moreover, as another controversy broke out and several days passed, this topic seemed to slowly subside.

But next week.

With the release of Eter’s new song MV, the firewood ran out of gasoline once again.

-???

-??? ???

Now this is because people’s eyes have seen blatant reference.

Testa!

* * *

The night I returned to Korea after the 1st tour ended.

I sat down at the dining table in the dorm and connected to Witube.

Ether’s new song < Shut out >‘s MV is playing through a promotional advertisement.

[Shoot it roughly, yes BAMM,

you can’t catch me]

The cool oriental style, the choreography is cool, and the visuals are good.

This time, it was chosen reasonably well.

But that’s it.

-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Once the frame of similarity was caught, it was a law to find similarities on purpose.

However, since these guys really benchmarked Testa, it is inevitable to see them.

There are a lot of similarities from the concept camera work album photo costumes and choreography.

As a result, Lekkas were all out.

[Wonder Hall leaves Legend T-Holic behind and imitates idols from other agencies]

[Rookie male idol from a large agency who has all his money covered]

Didn’t you see that when a celebrity starts to criticize once, even star facts that weren’t a problem in the past get a new light and get cursed at?

This was a similar phenomenon.

Even the last album was thoroughly analyzed.

-Looking at it now, the song’s chord progression is at the level of copy-pasting

-A song that wouldn’t have come out without Kim Rae

-bin -Isn’t Byeol’s Byeol’s song a part

of it ? gotta catch that

I nodded and opened the can I was holding.

Click.

It was the first beer I drank in a week.

Isn’t it worth drinking because reason is a toast?

Gulp.

The carbonic acid went down my throat. There was no cider.

‘This is it.’

I put down the can of wheat beer and grinned.

For reference, the spacer on this plate also saw a reflective benefit.

[Inherit T-Holic? Spacer: I’ve organized this song in 5 minutes to see what this song is all about.] It

became a viral marketing again because it became a controversy because Lecca was attached to it.

That’s why the music rankings went up.

-Spacer Kwon Hee-seung: Hyung…

-Spacer Kwon Hee-seung: We placed 19th

. He even cried after winning first place on a music show.

Actually, I was satisfied here.

‘It’s okay since I took a shot at the Wonder Hall.’

It means that he was thinking of giving up, as he took care of the company’s finances with spacer box office success as it went smoothly as planned.

To be honest, I’m a rookie at Wonder Hall, so I just practiced hard and debuted. After a while, even those who used to curse at each other will become conscious of that.

Like this.

-Aren’t people ashamed… Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with just practicing diligently, it’s not plagiarism, it’s too much

.

‘That’s not really true. I wonder what these guys who just debuted would have known.’

If it was the line where the agency hit the head and corrected the route to make it less entangled with Testa, that was it.

– Congratulations

. Really.

however… Suddenly, an unexpected support shot came.

“… after.”

Check out this YouTube video.

[These friends are our MZ version…? We are the MZ generation too! (Burning emoticon) < T-Holic's Show Business > Clip]

That’s right.

T-Holic themselves mentioned Spacer in their variety show… .

And that too in a very positive nuance.

‘I thought they were crazy people.’

But I soon remembered a common-sense cause and checked it out.

-Are the T-Holic sunbaenims not going to renew their contracts?

-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: Do you want to know?

I mean it’s right.

Coincidentally, there were only 3 months left until the renewal of the T-Holic contract.

In a word, it was a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of

‘It must have been quite like X… .’

Well, seeing as they invested a lot of money in Ether and even created a dedicated planning team to change the route, it seems that there must have been quite a lot of things to explode when T-Holic was on a downward trend.

It’s been a while since the T-Holic members’ schedules focused on individual activities. Now, each of us will sign a contract with the place we want, and then we will move on to group activities only.

‘That’s not a bad ending either.’

I nodded.

In fact, these guys even contacted us. [T-Holic Ha Ji-tae: Moondae-ssi, do you want

to come out on our variety show one more time?

… .”

To be honest, I don’t know if I can just go that far.

‘Won’t they try to kill you in the Wonder Hall?’

I don’t know what they’re doing if they release dating rumors or club stories for ransom killing or retaliation.

I see there is a place to believe… anyway.

“I decline.”

What kind of plate are you trying to make by appearing in a group of agencies… I mean, there’s still so much to do.

‘This is just the pre-work done.’

Suppressing the ether was just the first step.

Now, even if these guys do something like a simultaneous release with Testa, as long as they don’t beat us in any part, it will end up ‘not living up to expectations’.

Because the ‘vs Testa’ frame disappeared and the ‘Testa Succession’ frame stuck.

Iter will be compared to Spacer, not us, based on ‘how successful they are as senior idols’.

You can no longer use benchmarking that explicitly takes references from us.

‘Take care.’

I’m also curious about how the Wonderhole bastards who are good at work will get through this hell difficulty right away.

‘Even if it’s not right away, an escape route will come out naturally after time.’

I admit it, but since Wonder Hall is such a good agency, I won’t miss it.

And it could be used as a narrative for the group until the moment I was cursed at like this… There is, but

‘It will take a year to do it naturally.’

By that time, you will have risen to a level that is even harder.

Besides, since T-Holic came out like this… … It may take more time for public opinion to rebound.

I shrugged.

Anyway, so what was Testa trying to do after clearing the ether… I’ll have to start with this story.

As everyone knows, there was a nickname Testa was originally called.

-son of T1.

It was meant to be sarcastic, but it was also a simple comparison of facts.

Because I debuted as a survival program on T1, and that affiliated broadcasting received full support.

But now it’s a state of being disowned.

It means that now it is a son, it is Nabal, and there is no soup.

‘Rather, it’s in an ambiguous state, unable to stick to any broadcasting platform.’

LeTi platform? It’s still in its infancy, and it already has a direct son. That’s VTIC.

therefore.

‘It’s time for us to find a new family.’

I checked the message from the agency’s management staff.

-yes. We

have a meeting at MBS tomorrow .

‘They were all trying to make connections.’

That was the deal I made with him.

-There is a PD that we would like to introduce to you.

There is nothing to hang on to now.

‘The son of the airwaves.’

Let’s try that.
