Debut or Die

Chapter 505

On the day of the first group recording

of Episode 505 < Jungkun Match >.

There were no rookies, and greetings were exchanged among the cast members full of names and established names.

Testa was no exception.

It’s been such a long time, guys!

Senior Mudy!

First of all, Mudy.

When we went to the waiting room for this singer who was a vocal trainer and judge in < Azusa >, he greeted us very warmly.

Wow, how many years ago was that? Everyone is doing so well now I need to get your autographs Really!

Ay~ What are you talking about! We’re here to get an album signed by our seniors~ We earnestly ask for your autograph, senior!

Ahaha! what really!

Lee Se-jin That guy really picks out what people want to hear and says it.

-First of all, I’ll catch up on the story as much as possible, so let’s all go calmly~

By the way, that guy is holding a talk show almost every day to fill the vacancy of leader Ryu Cheong-woo, whose memory of testa has completely disappeared.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere became more friendly.

Ahyeon is still a sika deer~ Mundae is now okay to stop sending red ginseng on holidays! I got it every time and I even talked about it on the radio!

ha ha ha!

Mudy happily joked around with each member, and finally turned his attention to Testa’s leader.

To be precise, to the person who considers himself a leader.

It’s been a while since Cheongwoo. Are you struggling as a leader?

Haha, it’s me. The members are so good to me, so I’m doing well.

However, it was the same with Steer Chung-woo, who met vocal trainer Mudi while participating in < Azusa >, so there was no problem with the response.

I checked that he was smiling and chatting with Mudi.

‘It’s okay.’

In any case, it would not be a coincidence that Mudi was invited.

‘In the beginning, there must have been a lot of recruiting requests from names who had something to do with Testa.’

Friendship that everyone knows is important for the calculation that the other person can ‘benefit from editing’.

‘As soon as Testa signed the contract, he must have emphasized that in the first place and turned the casting around.’

After that, when the cast line is completed about three or four times, from there, the horizon of contact with the public relations is further expanded.

Maybe that’s why the cast members we’re related to didn’t end with Mudi.

Mr. Moondae! Oh my gosh!

As soon as I went to the next waiting room, waving my hand enthusiastically… They are soft and sweet members.

Yes.

A female idol group that left the legendary Byeongmat concept song ‘POP?CON’ under the same label as VTIC.

Malrang Sweet is also a cast member here.

Even one member who has already succeeded as an actor was included.

Hello, senior Sohyeon.

No, we meet again like this!

It was a very unique case where the original members completely reunited and appeared in survival.

But it’s never a stupid choice.

‘That’s clever.’

It’s a group past its prime anyway, so there’s nothing to lose if you don’t get good grades here, where there are many names in the cast.

And even one person who is popular now has succeeded as an actor, so there will be no adverse effect on the image because the field is different.

All you have to do is avoid the personality controversy, but that’s not an idol who only broadcasts for a day or two. Aren’t they the ones who survived the Byeongmat concept?

That was when I was nodding my head.

In fact, you know that some of us came out just because Mr. Moondae came out, right? I wish you well!

… … ?

Ahaha look at Moondae’s expression!

What are you talking about?

At that time, Sohyeon patted the shoulder of the soft and sweet member who smiled heartily and said heartily.

Moondae is our fan! If there is at least one person who will take a serious look at it, it gives me courage.

hmm.

It’s been a few years since I sang popcorn in < Azusa > to explain that I’m not a fan now. In the end, I shamelessly nodded.

Let’s talk about it in an interview.

It is an honour.

Hey, we’re honored!

And again, it was a moment when a friendly closing conversation continued.

The question jumped playfully.

How do you see yourself as a leader? Moondae, is it true that you are still our fan?

‘… !’

to Liu Cheng-wu.

Perhaps it seemed that the nature of the question naturally went back to the leader… .

‘no.’

This steer Ryu Cheong-woo has no way of knowing whether I sang popcorn or poppin in Azusa.

Naturally, you wouldn’t even know there was a meme about me being a fan of these people.

I clenched my fist.

‘Cover goes.’

Keun Se-jin, who was acting as an acting leader today, was about to intervene after slightly blinking.

sure.

Steer Ryu Chung-woo gave a clear answer before him.

Moondae also plays seniors’ songs on our live broadcasts.

… !!

omg! Really? Amazing, Great… .

Thank you Mr. Mundae!

And the conversation flowed naturally.

Steer Ryu Chung-woo finished his greetings by mentioning Testa’s activities in the past without any problems.

Lee Se-jin looked at the atmosphere and laughed without interfering further.

I and the other guys jumped on the flow and ended the conversation well, but my head was confused.

… … .

no way.

See you later~

Yep seniors!

widely.

Leaving the soft and sweet waiting room, I looked back at Ryu Cheng-wu.

just that… .

how did you answer

He scratched his face as if he was a bit embarrassed and smiled.

Well, as I watched the stage, videos appeared on the algorithm… Fans have organized Testa’s activities well.

… … .

Did you see it all… thank you. You’re amazing, really… !

haha it’s not like that… thank you.

no.

It doesn’t end with ‘great’.

‘It didn’t end with the stage video, did you see all of Testa’s activities?’

From the tone of voice, it sounds like you saw it on an algorithm, but looking at the answers you gave earlier, it was almost at the level of memorizing the entire fan wiki.

Moreover, Ryu Chung-woo was not the type to search for things like that.

Steer Ryu Chung-woo does not seem to be particularly different. Obviously, it was deliberately identified.

‘When is it?’

Is this guy sleeping?

It’s shocking that I didn’t ask for it in the first place, but I voluntarily studied all of it.

In the meantime, a carefree question came back.

Could it be that I’ve made a mistake earlier?

no. It was tidy.

haha thank you

No, I’m not asking questions right now, I want to ask. What kind of mentality is it that I fell into an unfamiliar world without a status window, but the output came out like this?

‘I’m not even the main character of the novel.’

However, Steer Ryu Cheng-wu just calmly continued his words.

Please tell me if I’m misunderstanding anything though. Maybe it’s because I talk softly to the fans rather than what actually happened.

… yes.

OK. Now I don’t even know X-foot.

‘Did he say that he was afraid of Cha Yu-jin because of this mentality?’

It was quite convincing.

* * *

The shooting that followed went smoothly.

The announcer from MBS came out and grandly introduced each member of the cast, and we got to the main point within an hour.

‘It’s almost the last order, so it’s okay since we were honey.’

However, the MC’s voice has already cracked a bit. Too bad.

I will announce the theme of the first contest.

The theme finally appeared on the display board in a huge font.

[Song changeover]

A theme in which the performers rotate and sing each other’s songs.

Traditional, brutal and interesting. It’s okay.

And since it is a contest, unlike the opening stage, the audience will rank the performances of the cast members.

One obvious word as a basis.

And equally obvious, but provocative words are next.

And unfortunately, the lowest ranked person will be eliminated.

… … !

Even though everyone knows, he makes a surprised expression once in a while and is very good at broadcasting.

In the midst of the tension created on purpose, the cast members chose the song of the opponent to cover by drawing a ball… .

haha thank you

Testa pulled Mudy’s ball.

‘good.’

A participant with no overlapping elements. If this is the case, the reference point for comparison is ambiguous and it is easy to choose a stage with a different taste.

‘Since we know each other, the editing angle would be good.’

Still, in the interview, I guess I’ll have to pay lip service for wanting a soft and sweet song.

huh?

Just in time, soft and sweet pulled out a testa ball and was screaming.

‘Congratulations.’

clap clap clap

I finished the first shoot with polite reactions, thinking of words that would not get as strange as possible in the interview.

And the practice of immediately rushing in as soon as you return to work.

Umm I think it would be nice to add a completely different accompaniment to the arrangement… !

That’s why it must be attractive to change the atmosphere~ Then leave only the melody?

As much as the addictive melodic top note is an advantage, that element is taken away! You are a great judge.

Then the concept… Yes, I already knew that Moondaemundae would have something to say~ Hurry up and say it. … Oh oh? Eugene too?

Hi-Hi!

Choose a song and draw a concept.

Excluding unnecessary editorials, discussions were held quickly and results were drawn.

– Complete testa version of Mudi’s hit song from 10 years ago!

And Kim Rae-bin, who was aware of the results of the discussion, put out a tentatively edited demo of the arrangement within an hour, and tossed it with a focus on guys with good choreography skills, and drew a picture.

This was possible because a thorough division of roles and progress structure had been established through several years of experience.

And Steer Ryu Chung-woo eagerly observed and absorbed all of this process.

It’s like being a newcomer to some kind of career.

You have to contact the company for an interim report here.

yes. Apparently, the production crew will come for practice and filming, so we have to coordinate that.

I guess so. okay.

At this speed, it’s not long before you think you’ll be able to take on the role of a leader.

‘After the update, the memories will come back anyway.’

He did such a good job that it made me feel sorry for him to go this far for something he just had to endure.

Besides, this happened.

… Ryu Chung-woo.

… !

Immediately after the meeting, Bae Se-jin was thirsty and tried to fetch water, but he jumped ahead and offered a drink to steer Ryu Cheong-wu.

Drink if you like.

… … .

In fact, when I was a steer, I no longer had to worry about how to deal with the gap with Bae Se-jin.

Because the conversation ended a few days ago.

-I have something to say about Sejin hyung.

-I heard the story from Yujin. Are you saying things are different now?

With that in mind, Ryu Cheong-woo has never expressed his dislike for Bae Se-jin.

‘Is it true that they communicate so well?’

However, from Bae Se-jin’s point of view, it seemed that he noticed a strange expression. So, what are you handing over as if you were testing it like this?

I feel thirsty… It’s okay if you don’t want to drink.

… … .

I’ve definitely seen

There, steer Ryu Cheng-wu hesitated for a moment.

However, in the end, he did not refuse and accepted the bottle, coolly opening the lid.

And he replied with a smile.

thank you. I’ll drink well.

… ! what!

Ryu Cheng-wu even took a drink on the spot without showing any sign.

Bae Se-jin seemed relieved and the atmosphere got better.

‘hmm.’

It seems like Steer Cha Yoo-jin’s relative toughness score is dropping in real time and watching the scene… .

And as the practice continued into the evening in this atmosphere, Lee Se-jin even said something like this, wondering if he was serious or not.

Thank you bro~ You are so good to us! Our Eugene ran away from home because she had no memory.

Yeah.

haha did you

Liu Qingyu said the following in a gentle voice.

it’s still

… ?

I’m glad you seem to be doing well now.

… Yep.

Suddenly, a strange tension seemed to flow slightly and then disappear.

‘hmm.’

I immediately focused on the conversation.

The atmosphere was still good. Cha Yoo-jin silently drank from her water bottle and threw the words away.

And congratulations. If Chungwoo hyung stays like this, memories will come back soon.

hmm?

The memory came back when I admitted that I liked that stage. Maybe that’s the Trigger? I feel that way.

Cha Yoo-jin said that calmly, as if passing on a tip.

How to get back the memories of Testa!

‘I did say something like that.’

I remembered the conversation with Testa Yujin Cha after he returned to his body.

-[It might not be a coincidence that the update ended so quickly. I mean, the timing is so amazing, right?]

-[I want to bet that my realization or our honest conversation influenced the timing.]

System I don’t know why this bastard is doing this, but he wanted to update the company system anyway, and in the process, the members It is a yard that rolls back memories.

So, the mental growth of that member affected the completion of the update… la.

‘I adopted it because it was a fairly convincing hypothesis.’

I already shared it with big moon.

Also, since Ryu Chung-woo was premised on the premise of ‘you are in a state of losing your memory’, ‘tips to recover your memory’ were more correct than ‘how to quickly get out of your body’.

Maybe that’s why Cheng-wu Ryu asked back as if he was quite interested.

Automatically?

Um, I asked Moondae hyung. This is the story I was describing. Moondae-hyung has a strange ghost. status window?

hey.

Before he could say anything back, Cha Yu-jin finished his words naturally.

I pressed my forehead. yes, do as you like… .

With that, we got our memories back. Hyung will do the same.

ah.

That was the moment.

Liu Qingyu replied in a gentle voice.

Do I need to?

what?

brother?

Liu Qingyu looked at me.

And he said it in a calm, non-excited voice.

I mean, do you really need to get my memories back?

I interpreted the meaning a step late.

‘That’s… .’

-Is it necessary to bring Testa Ryu Chung-woo back?

It means don’t call the original testa Ryu Cheng-wu.

I got goosebumps all the time.
