Debut or Die

If you can’t debut, you’ll die.

Testa’s lodging after watching episode 532 of < Let's Have a Drink > featuring “Same Ages”.

“I drink alcohol as much as an elephant… .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Bae Se-jin, who had never seen this program before, seemed dumbfounded for a moment at the revealed reality (?), but soon mumbled as if he was determined to stay calm.

“Yeah, because it’s filming… .”

However, it seems that it will suddenly accelerate again.

“But you’re still asking for something else over there!”

uh. like this.

I responded calmly without a change in expression.

“It’s a broadcast. I said this because I thought he wouldn’t really give it to me.”

“… Was it possible for you to think like that in your state at that time?”

“of course.”

“… Ahhyeonah!”

“yes yes… !?”

“Is what he said true?”

“that… … .”

It’s like a messy living room, where Seon Ah-hyeon breaks into a cold sweat and conflicts between friendship and remorse, and Cha Yu-jin indirectly reflects her confidence in her drinking, saying that she should have left.

At that time, Ryu Cheong-woo, who had been quietly opening his smartphone by himself, opened his mouth.

“Guys. I got a call from the company.”

“yes?”

Everyone immediately shut their mouths about the ‘company’ and turned their eyes to Ryu Cheng-wu.

It was because we had just entered the stage of activity, so quick handling was our lifeline when something happened.

“Is it urgent?”

“hmm… well.”

Ryu Cheng-wu had a mysterious expression.

“It’s hard to judge. Would you like to see it yourself?”

Seeing that they openly disclosed it, it seems that we are not being criticized.

I first lowered the alarm level and focused on the smartphone screen he turned.

On the screen was an article from an Internet newspaper scam that was famous for reporting rumors in the entertainment industry.

At first, I thought it was our rumor.

[Wonder Hall monster rookie Eter official transcript released… “Down with Testa”]

“… ??”

What is written is ether.

‘what.’

Is it a dog benefit?

however… ‘Down Testa Transcript’?

“What’s the ride? Burn?”

“Let it perish and disappear.”

“Oh~”

To sum it up after reading the article against the background of Bae Se-jin’s voice, who gives a fairly aggressive interpretation… .

– Official A: Maybe Testa is there… ? yes yes. thank you (hangs up) I can’t come out, I can’t come out.

-Responsible person B: It seems that he is really trying to come out.

-Participant C: No matter how much you think about it, we seem to be conscious (I think). It’s the same with unplay every time. If it were me, I’d be embarrassed to be honest. As if they were great artists that couldn’t even be compared… .

– Official A: Honestly, it’s kind of funny. That person is from a broadcasting station, the king of commercial success. The starting line is (different).

– Official C: If they think they won this, they really have no conscience or sense. (Laughter)

-Representative D: To be honest, I don’t even want to use costumes as references. (laugh). That person’s true self-consciousness is the perfect expression.

It was so blatantly stated that I couldn’t even nail down an excuse. You have to hit your head or something.

‘oh my.’

It seemed that the voice of three or four members of Eter’s planning team and management team leaked somewhere privately.

isn’t it obvious A group of competitors from other companies who are kept in check and don’t want to look good is a good snack.

———==

… In response, netizens commented, “It seems that rookies who just debuted will be easily swept away,” “I heard that Wonder Hall is conscious of Testa, but it was true”… .

———==

And netizens’ reactions are almost sentenced to hell.

I quickly started checking the current public opinion situation on my smartphone.

In the meantime, Seon Ah-hyun carefully came up with a gentle reasoning.

“I, but… Wouldn’t there be no proof that the recording was from them… ?”

“Um~ that’s right.”

Perhaps the sentence that came after those words of Keun Se-jin was ‘Honestly, I’m not surprised even if it’s true’.

If you look at what Wonder Hall has done with Testa so far, you can vividly picture what the atmosphere in the company will be like.

‘found.’

And I finally found the source of this incident.

That’s it.

“It’s not a recording.”

“uh??”

“This is a staff conversation from Ether’s own content.”

Kim Rae-bin was also shocked.

“Are you saying you publicly posted these malicious remarks on WeTube?”

“no. I think he was trying to get rid of it… .”

“Looks like it?”

“It was bad workmanship.”

It was a risk of cheap outsourcing.

Now, here’s a fun shot that I can’t help but write about.

But what if a sound that shouldn’t be released in the background is accidentally included?

‘I’m just listening to that sound.’

When I removed the sound through the program and installed the BGM, it usually worked.

This time, the ‘mistake during work’ and ‘relentless digging’ matched perfectly and exploded. From Wonder Hall’s point of view, it was struck by a lightning bolt that fell from the dry sky.

“ah… .”

An indescribable expression passed over the faces of the guys who roughly guessed the situation.

‘That’s how it works.’ A similar description seems appropriate.

“But why did rumors spread that it was a transcript? The source is different.”

It was a valid question.

This was from the content that Wonder Hall itself released.

In a sense, it’s more credible than the transcript, but to bother attaching the transcript… .

“That’s how it was posted by the person who posted it.”

It means that the person who spread it deliberately chose a more provocative vocabulary and was full of desire to raise this controversy.

thing… you work hard

‘Looks like someone went viral on Ether.’

Are you competing with Ether for the rookie award this time? I briefly reasoned and lowered the screen of my smartphone.

“Mundae, how is the Internet atmosphere right now?”

hmm… .

-Is this steamed?

-Wow, I roughly expected it,

but it did

n’t

work

. Seeing him crying out for references like that hahaha

Yes. it’s hell

“It is controversial.”

“okay… .”

Liu Cheng-wu was speechless, and the other guys also looked a bit dazed.

It is the first time such a rare situation in which a competitor without a conscience falls on its own, so everyone does not know how to react.

Big Sejin swept the back of his neck and summarized the situation in a bewildered tone.

“first… Do we ever get to meet the people of Ether? There’s only one episode left of < Jinsung Match >.”

“yes.”

< Genuine match >. It is a survival program for airwave singers who finished the first season and now has the second half left.

Here, thanks to Testa, we were able to get a job interview, and the production team was very friendly to us because the program was popular.

‘Though we also gained a lot from breaking through public broadcasting stations.’

For example, this time, I comfortably appeared on several popular programs run by the WeTube channel under the public TV network.

However, since Testa is currently active, he is busy, so in the second half of the season, he was only going to come out with one episode and beautifully voluntarily get off… .

“There, the ether… I will meet you.”

yes.

Ether is also appearing there.

A meeting between the parties to the controversy and the victims.

No matter how friendly he is to Testa, he will not miss this editorial prey in entertainment.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… Well, let’s all be careful during the interview!”

“Yes… !”

Let’s not get involved as much as possible.

Ryu Cheng-wu confirmed to us out of courtesy.

“What is the probability that Ether will not come out and fall out?”

“Absolutely not.”

If you get off the train for no reason, there will be more controversy, such as being stabbed. Besides, I don’t think the PD will let one more team fall in the yard where Testa has already escaped.

Ah, is there any chance that Testa will say something and send them off completely?

Aren’t you doing justice?

‘uh. I will not.’

You’re an idiot if you do that outright.

A strong person who claims to have avoided it will inevitably incur antipathy. Let’s not talk when we win.

At times like this, the correct answer is to keep your mouth shut and be cool inside that these bastards have finally been slaughtered.

“good. Then, let’s finish carefully until the end.”

“yes!”

It’s neatly organized.

“Now, then, shall we go in today?”

“okay… .”

We entered our respective rooms in perfect order, remembering our schedules that would start at dawn tomorrow as well.

‘oh.’

Thanks to that, the fact that I drank about 1 liter of Andong Soju on the show was just passable. It was an unexpected help.

‘thanks.’

It’s self-destructive. If only those guys who exploded on their own like this were here, my job would be ten times easier.

Of course, Wonder Hall isn’t like that, so it won’t continue to self-destruct like this. I’ll try to fix it

I made a light guess after monitoring once again while lying on the bed.

‘If it subsides in a few days, I’ll try to calmly deal with it.’

It was a prediction considering the strengths of Wonder Hall guys who are so good at unplaying.

and after some time

-Wow, all the staff who came out of Wonder Hall got rid of it

.

This time, a statement from Wonder Hall that all the controversial staff members were removed from the Ether team came up.

Of course, as for why the staff did that, I roughly dismissed it as a personal matter, but isn’t that the bottom line? -I heard that

short

-term contract workers kicked each other and turned their mouths hahaha

└In the first place, the atmosphere of the agency is so, aren’t they also

affected

? ㅋ

However, seeing reactions such as ‘I think my feet are numb’ and ‘I don’t believe it’, it was clear that the image of an elite rookie that Wonder Hall wanted to promote was shattered.

The agency has lost trust.

‘Is it two consecutive hits?’

Before, I shook the image once while intertwining the spacer with the ether, so this seems to have been the decisive blow.

Perhaps Eter, after the second half of < Jinseong Match >, won’t make a comeback for a while and save himself.

‘If this is the case, next year might be a bit more comfortable, right?’

Wouldn’t you be more anxious and avoid getting involved with us now?

However, the story about < Jinseong Match >, which we had considered in advance, naturally came out among netizens.

-Hey, come to think of it, I’ll meet Eter and Testa, right?

└Awesome

└Wow, it looks like

it will sell out hahaha └If I’m late,

I’ll get off.

‘It’s very exciting.’

Well, it’s not even a day or two that they change their attitude to curse Testa. ‘The public is on our side!’ It is not the same excitement.

‘Let’s do something well.’

The idol version’s clumsy tricks, which are rampant with Kwon Mo-soo, cannot survive. If you only carve that on your head, half of it will go away.

I had already decided from the start that I would just enjoy these dog benefits.

“Mr. Moondae’s costume!”

“yes.”

I continued my schedule with the agency staff. Maybe because of his mood, he looks lively.

‘Come to think of it, as much as we think it’s dog profit, the atmosphere over there is pretty bad.’

And this guess is right, of course.

* * *

“Whoa… .”

The waiting room of < Jinseong Match >, filled with tension and depression.

Ether’s leader squeezed and released his hand, trying to remain oblivious to his surroundings.

My hands were cold.

‘I care… … .’

It could have been taken for granted that he would soon meet the president, but the situation was a bit different now.

It’s because we meet in an awkward situation after being beaten up by public opinion for a long time for saying that the big senior badmouthed the grand prize singer last year.

‘How did this happen?’

testa.

Exchanging signed CDs with those great seniors seemed like a very old thing.

Ether’s leader stood up with a smile on his face, trying to appear as relaxed as possible.

The manager hyung read it with a worried voice.

“Don’t you worry about anything. All you have to do is say hello, and the manager will take care of everything, so you just have to do it.”

“yes. All right!”

Even though I replied bravely, I was somewhat moved.

It’s because I felt that he cared about the members and that the vacuum of some people who originally supported those words was felt at the same time.

They were people who could no longer be seen because of the ‘Down Testa Controversy’ this time.

Most of them have resigned. It happened like a lie in just a few days.

The leader of Ether bit his lip and thought.

‘Those older brothers and sisters weren’t that wrong… ?’

The staff seemed to be struggling with the direction of the group lately.

So it seemed like he said that out of anger, but usually he just said to target Testa.

Even after the words of the controversy, they remembered that they had heard it and told them not to worry about it, saying, ‘I said it because I’m worried these days.’

When that conversation was first released to the public, it was just scary, but now, if you listen to it slowly, it’s not even abusive.

‘It wasn’t a personal attack of any kind.’

Honestly, isn’t it possible for the staff to comment on the competitor in private? It is not that the documents were circulated publicly.

It was abnormal to somehow restore the conversations that had been completely erased by the program and reduce them.

Besides, don’t the public usually say more blatant things to celebrities than that?

‘But it’s all cut like this… … .’

It came as a big shock to the members of Ether to see the staff who took care of them the best they could, crying and quitting their jobs.

At that time, I thought that the public was scary.

And now… .

“… … .”

The Ether leader recalled the ‘accidents and controversy’ tab of their wiki, which they had secretly looked for on their laptop.

More than half of the problems were related to Testa.

And even this conversation I heard after the incident happened.

-The testa company intentionally blew it up.

-This is too obvious.

Employees would gossip about it as if they were blaming each other, saying that, given the circumstances, they must have moved from Testa’s company.

It’s called ‘checking on newcomers’.

They also seemed to restrain themselves when the Ether members were around, but when the people around them were divided, there was bound to be a gap.

So, the Ether leader came to think like this.

‘What did we do so wrong.’

Employees often said, ‘There are no seniors and juniors in this industry,’ but isn’t it too harsh?

Testa is such a well-known idol in his prime, so why did he do this to people who just debuted?

Somehow, right before my first meeting with Testa, I remembered what the staff had asked me to do.

-There, I will do my best to discourage you, so don’t get involved.

The leader of Ether seemed to be finally starting to understand why he said that.

So, after a while, I went to Testa’s waiting room to say hello. This is what I thought when I saw the relaxed appearance of those people.

“Hello, senior!”

– I wish it would just disappear.

If it wasn’t for that group, all the problems and stifling controversies that arose after the debut would not have existed.

No, it seemed that all this pressure would disappear even now.

The leader of Ether looked at Testa while thinking that for a moment. However, he gritted his teeth and tried to keep his expression as polite as ever.

To never give you a chance to be criticized.

And Park Moon-dae thought.

‘Look at this bastard’s eyes.’

Again, an idol version full of trickery. The clumsy don’t survive. It’s because they’ve all been caught.
