Debut or Die - 228
Let's talk about building a team of artist-focused specialists, specifically one exclusive to TeSTAR.On the surface, it was supposed to be handled by employees of the Office of Planning and Coordination, but in reality, the CEO of the agency was also expected to be involved."He tends to get into this kind of thing, but there's no way I'm going to let him."Even if the order came from the main company, he would surely want to adjust the direction in some way to suit his taste.
So he was considering a way to encourage the Office of Managers Administration to step in on behalf of mediation once again.
Even if I had kkakdugi staff, I think they could find an opening...NT: Kkakdugi (깍두기) is a type of kimchi, but it's also called "extra" people, usually children who don't understand the rules of the game. In this case, it refers to the managers who do not comply 100% with their work due to ignorance or lack of interest. But there was no need to do that. "I will do it."— Oh, of course! Obviously, if it's for TeSTAR, hmm, your opinions should be taken into account...The CEO declared his willingness to surrender so that TeSTAR's intentions are reflected as much as possible in the plan of the team of specialists."Why?"I was wondering how this could be possible, but it turned out to be simple.It was because the reactions to our promotions were so good.Even after only a week of activities, the response we received was greater than expected.It goes beyond measurable factors like album sales and music charts. I mean feelings.
[Can you do this...? TeSTAR's "Calling" Challenge!][Manicure: TeSTAR(테스타) "Calling" (Nightmare) | I personalized my nails with my interpretation! :)]
Even if they are not fans, the people who watch, follow or mention it are showing up and talking about it in communities and daily lives that are not related to idols at all.WeTube entertainment programs belonging to some broadcasting station quickly pick up elements of currently popular music videos and use them.To sum it up in a nutshell, it is as follows."It's the start of a trend."Actually, I felt it since we performed on a stage.Yesterday our presentation at an event promoting culture and the arts was broadcast on the air, and it was live.— OOOOOH~This is because I felt that fans of other groups were especially excited to see our stage.Even VTIC fans.Until now, other idol fans reacted moderately when they looked at us, but that limitation disappeared.It meant that a consensus had already formed on what the new trend was.No matter how accustomed idol fans are to using the Internet, it's barely been a week."... Of course, the responses from our fans were more intense than usual."I can't stop thinking about the groans and piercing screams that reached my ear without interruption.— UWAAAAAAAH!!— AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!This may... be due to the nature of the concept.All in all, though, it means the explosion of tremendous ratings and buzz we received was unusual.No wonder the bastard approached me at the end of the event to say hello with these words.— Congratulations. You are going to win the Daesang.— ... I do not know. We'll see what happens.— Haha. How do you not know?—...— I can see what will happen.After saying those words, CheongRyu went on stage"Shit."It doesn't seem like he's currently going to hit me on the head with a hammer, but why does that bastard still have a defect on his head?"He looks very distant."Anyway, his solo performance is as high as the group's, so there's no reason to blame TeSTAR for him having a losing streak.And indeed...he was right."I think we can get the Daesang."If the activities continue without any controversy as they are, looking at the results and momentum so far, I'm sure at least one or two ceremonies will give us that award."Since we usually get nominated in 2 or 3 categories, it will be perfect if we eliminate VTIC."And to sum it all up in one sentence:Our price skyrocketed.— MoonDae MoonDae, did you see our unit price for filming this ad~?— Yes.It was double the maximum amount we ever charged when we were promoting "Haengcha".It seems that the agency chooses only the ones with the best possible price and good image, but it was incredibly encouraging."The treatment towards the first group of the agency began to change during our trip."Now, even the story that we are VTIC's successor in the new generation idol groups seems to be gaining credibility little by little.So, the company thought the same way."It's going to be a long battle though. Let's calm down and maintain a good relationship."Meanwhile, it is still not clear to me if I will renew my contract or not, so the sign of trying to win all possible prizes and goals during these five years has disappeared.It's a waste to do it for five years.By the way, during that time, until we get to the contract renewal season, it looks like I'll have to learn to control my weaknesses, but we'll talk about that later.For now, let's pay attention to the fact that although TeSTAR members are tough, agency employees change their behavior to please us."When Kim RaeBin was working from home, I think the fact that I handled the progress issue with the agency a bit harshly through notifications seems to have influenced the precedent."Is there anyone who does nothing this time? I think they even asked about the stunt team problem because they were afraid we'd kick them out.So, the internal group meeting related to the specialist team was held after setting aside some time in our busy schedule.But it wasn't necessary.— First of all... I would like the AR team members who have worked with us since "Magical Boy" to come.Kim Rae Bin raised her hand.— I totally agree with that! They were willing to come.—...??Suddenly, an employee came out to speak.— RaeBin-ah, when... hmm, when did you consult it?RaeBin responded proudly.—Actually, as soon as the rumors of the dedicated team spread, we talked and they said they would come!— ...— RaeBin-ah, there is a security problem, you better be more careful...
— Hyuk, I'm sorry! The AR team brought up the subject first.Because it was like that.Those who wanted to be with us heard our story and ended up calling the people involved to join.And since the company is trying to make a friendly gesture to TeSTAR, everything will be fine.I touched my chin."This, uh, seems like it's already implicitly agreed upon."Therefore, there was nothing else to agree on, except for the fact that the agency wants to keep the rest of the working staff to dedicate themselves to the rookie group.— Ok, so we have to let them know that we want to work with them.— Yes.However, as soon as silence flowed, Bae Sejin looked around and spoke.— ...Then, we'll need to look for new staff, right...? Well, that, we have to do interviews.Oh, that's pretty reasonable.It is true that about a third of our team of specialists will be made up of new hires.Especially the management team.Ryu CheongWoo nodded his head.— Hmm, it would be nice to have time to meet the new staff as well.Unfortunately there was a real problem.Before he could say anything, Keun SeJin spoke up.— But I don't think we have time for that~ right?That's right. We barely had time to hold this meeting, so there was no time to do interviews.I crossed my arms."It takes time to ask a preliminary question to see if the style of work is correct..."Oh.I came up with a way to test it. I was about to get depressed."Status window."I think it's time to spin the slot machine one more time."Hmm, I'd like to choose 'Sleep will be after I die' again."Or the ability to increase a day to 30 hours or... Well, an increase in the speed of work would also be beneficial.Let's check my status first.

"I had a raise as normal."S- became S, so it was worth overworking. That's why I've been getting better reviews lately.I can't deny having a great sense of accomplishment."Cool. Now next."Other changes are... leveling up once and getting the stats through two popups that listed my achievements."It hasn't been long since I last checked."In fact, it was incredible to have accumulated so much in just a few months. That means Spring Out and this activity is awesome.So... this time I won't use the points, rather, I'll take out the necessary features or I'll waste them."It's funny to think that I could waste two skills."Last time I spun the slot 5 times and only the last time I got an S grade skill.But now I know for sure."I know you're giving me the properties I need right now, so sort them out well."I looked at the bright "Click" in the pop-up window and pressed it while pretending to raise my arm.Then I'll do the second. I'll spin it in a minute while the other guys are chatting.In the picture, the lever turns and the compartment changes colors.After going through several compartments with skill titles that I had already seen sometimes... The machine stopped in a golden compartment.It was a B grade.Looks like a plain success, but if you read the compartment, you'll change your mind.

The fatigue recovery totem has reappeared and has been very useful.And the popup I was waiting for appeared.
[It has been verified that the skill has been repeated!]Would you like to synthesize the skill "Bacchus 500"?
"Of course!"The time has finally come to beef up this essential feature!I clenched my fists involuntarily.— Moo-MoonDae-ya...?— Are you okay?It was so good that I felt well.— Yes, I really want to form a specialist team and that's why I feel good. It is really nice.— T-that's right!"— Yeah, I guess you're telling the truth. It's been a long time since you've given me a long answer, MoonDae.
Enough of excuses, come on.I pressed "Yes" immediately.As if charging, a spinning circle appeared in the status window, and then a splendid fanfare erupted.
[Successful Synthesis!][You have acquired "Bacchus 1000 (A)"!]A clear mind and a strong body!→ Reduces fatigue buildup rate by 50%→ Increases fatigue recovery rate by 100%
Amazing."Added recovery option."Isn't it enough to sleep only once every two days?The truth is that there is no obstacle to carry out my activities and also take time to ask and answer questions for the interview."It's a great long-term benefit."As for the reaction on vacation... Well, it doesn't matter if it gets worse, it's always been that way.I don't have serious sequelae, it just keeps me lying in bed for about three days. No, the recovery has also increased, so it may not be so good during the holidays."Now that I think about it, I haven't been affected in the last vacation."Maybe taking care of RaeBin was treated as some sort of job, so the status window didn't consider it a vacation.Anyway, I didn't expect this award-winning gaming system to give me something so useful this time around."I like it."I hope you continue to be this cooperative in the future. I might end up bankrupting myself, so I should at least keep doing this.I looked at the updated properties window in the status window and nodded in satisfaction.— MoonDae, why are you nodding now?— A-Are you thinking about the people from the stunt team...?I will say that it is similar.I was already expecting a stunt team to launch.To be precise, I expected the effect this release would cause.

TeSTAR's first manager was on his way to work, frowning."Shit."Working had become more and more difficult because the bastards had rebelled and become more arrogant.It is said that when someone gets star sickness, they treat the staff badly first, right?One paratrooper even fell, taking away the work he had been doing, and his chances of promotion were reduced.In his opinion, there was no other fucking entertainment that wasn't funny. The manager was angry at the unfair situation, further frustrating that he had no countermeasures."I just have to hold on for a bit."In a few days, TeSTAR will celebrate their second debut anniversary. That means his career will soon be completed with two years.Since the number of digits would change, he planned to go somewhere else with this experience on his resume."When that time comes, I will bash everyone's head."The manager, who knew about the confidentiality clause but talked big for no reason, addressed the company.After working all night, TeSTAR was in the agency's conference room.But as soon as he entered the hall...He was called to the Manager's Office out of the blue and heard some shocking news.— What?— Understand... I'm not kidding. You don't have to come tomorrow.It was the news of his dismissal.The manager exchanged a few words with the leader of the management team, but soon realized that there was no room for negotiations.— Pick up your things, okay?Immediately, the emotion that had been suppressed by the fear of being fired sharply increased.It was anger.— No, team leader, don't you think... that this is an unfair dismissal?The team leader had an absurd expression on his face that he didn't want to talk anymore, thus further inciting the manager's anger, but soon the team leader was concentrating on playing a recording.— Hyung, RaeBin's grandmother collapsed, so we're moving...— What? At this time of the morning?— Yes, hyung... Yes, you have to come "at this time of the morning". We are moving right now, so please wait nearby ASAP.— ... Ah OK.And before the call was cut off, an insult was heard.— ...If TeSTAR hadn't exposed him, if he hadn't contacted the parent company, or if the manager had important connections with power people in the agency, he would have gotten away with it.He could have excused himself by saying that he spoke rudely because they were close friends.But unfortunately for the manager, he didn't have any of the three options.— Yesterday, the artist's phone cloud was hacked and almost spread. Did you know?— ...U-uuh, uh.— Alright, just... stand down well, okay? If this had been in the media, you would have had to leave Korea. See how the atmosphere is right now.It was an irreparable sentence.This is how the manager was forced to leave the company.And Park MoonDae smiled when he heard the news from the AR team excited by the gossip."Idiot bastard."He had never turned off the call recording setting since high school."I dropped one."He was relieved.He continued to prepare for the next round of activities with his body full of energy thanks to his ability."...2nd anniversary."The day of TeSTAR's debut, June 18, was just around the corner.
