Debut or Die - 236

Bae Sejin's citation to the Human Rights Commission successfully hit the nail on the head.

"How did it work?"

I was almost speechless as I watched the Internet atmosphere hit T1 with great excitement.

First of all, what worked best was.... Of course, it was the cover-up of the cause of the TeSTAR car accident.

[A tragedy caused by complacency... Let's crudely analyze T1, a large entertainment company, without any mask]

["It was an incident, not an automobile accident" - The agency covered up the terrifying attack].

Just before I recovered from my coma after spending 18 days, the "TeSTAR Car Accident" was once again the hottest topic on the Internet.

Since there is a behind-the-scenes story about the incident, the topic became extremely provocative.

As if a conspiracy theory had come true, people got excited and latched on to it.

The articles also stoked public opinion by using words like "terrorism," "cover-up," and "catastrophic crisis."

The report exploded on both the social and entertainment sides, so no matter how big the undertaking, it was impossible to pick up the spilled water.

— One of their singers is on the verge of death and they keep their mouths shut! Ya, how a high class conglomerate you are~

— An intentional terrorist attack on the part of their former manager? Seeing as his agency is bad, he must have been really bad to her idols too, sht
   L Rlly? you didn't interview him? And so he was managing a top idol group, ha

— Now we know they have a bunch of shitty paratroopers haha there must be a whole internal chaos at TeSTAR's agency, that's why that guy lost his mind

— "Resignation recommended due to excessive verbal abuse" ← We didn't realize their workers were resigning in a hurry, sht their security turned to shit hahahahahaha T1, you're unbelievable!

— They are corrupt seeds that are only good for hiding and working behind the scenes, but they must be firmly uprooted for the nation to survive, they must be severely punished.

Moreover, because Bae Sejin gathered all the evidence he needed, the Human Rights Committee had everything to firmly target the issue, as there was enough justification to cause further encouragement.

[Serious violations of workers' human rights by T1 Stars, an agency affiliated to a large corporation]

["Overtime pay was manipulated" There were also resignations from their jobs due to verbal abuse... It's a great exposure of the facts committed]

[T1 faces criticism for trying to cut off the issue after claiming "We are not involved with the management of T1 Stars"]

The fact that a popular idol group that earns a lot of money complains about their company's abuse of power is not a factor that evokes a colorable consensus.

This is because the response from the general public will be: "But they are making a lot of money at a young age", so support for such a complaint tends to wane.

However, the story changes when it is concluded that "This large conglomerate company is a scumbag."

If there is a common enemy or cause, the fun of the hunt becomes excellent.

So, in a sunny July, at the end of the rainy season, people were using the stress of the sweltering heat to beat T1.

Since the parent company T1 has more recognition than the newly launched new agency "T1 Stars", it was also being hit with enthusiasm.

Even the public made a national petition.

[We demanded an investigation into T1's human rights violations.]

Of course, this was just splashed water, but it was enough to tick off one of T1's affiliated companies.

TN: In this case, "물타기다만" (Just splashed water) means "tarnish the real problem", "distract from the real purpose", which was to expose all the problems of T1 Stars and not just the accident thing, fulfilling BaeSe's purpose.

"It's a company notorious for not taking care of the good welfare of its employees."

Honestly, it deserves it.

I feel sorry for the people in charge, but it turned out to be funny.

Anyway, just as Bae Sejin thought, they suspected that some internal employee or rival company had accused them, so they were looking for it.

It seemed that the TeSTAR case was added to the composite to grow the weight of the allegation.

"... That's great."

No matter how hard you try, it will still come out.

The more time was wasted searching, the more the company was paralyzed and the group's influence grew.

I smiled and shifted my eyes to the screen of my phone.

This time, I focused on what the fan community was displaying.

[Boycott T1 (175)]

[The bastards are shaking their teeth in fear (24).

[Can't our kids go to another agency? (798)]

[It was the agency's fault haha... (13)]

[I hope MoonDae wakes up and only sees good things ㅠㅠ (151)]

Although the related items came up with this kind of feeling, the mood was not gloomy.

It seemed that it was because they were very happy...that I woke up right away.

Public opinion was favorable, and it didn't seem that they were very stressed because they missed TeSTAR a little bit.

Seeing that so many people were saying "I knew it", I think similar speculation had already circulated among fans.

"... That makes me glad."

I turned off my phone screen.

I want to make a post, but just in case, I'll discuss it with the others first and post it later.

"It would be nice to report on our survival."

... Also, I have a very important proposal to make.

"Somehow, I must get us to go on tour."

I made my own plan for that.

I decided to cross my arms and wait patiently for them to come.

And at two o'clock in the afternoon....

Bae Sejin, who burst into the hospital room, was on fire with excitement.

— ... I think it's going well!

— Yes, the answer is good.

— ...!

I was about to clasp my hands together and gently explain my point of view, when the guy who was trembling at the taste of cider exclaimed.

— When the results of the Human Rights Commission petition come out... let's proceed with the lawsuit as is!

— ...!!

— We can win because we have the evidence! I-I'll pay the lawyer's fee!

Sejin strongly insisted on stepping on the gas pedal once again.

"No."

Is this guy too drunk on cider?

The results are good, so it's understandable, but in this case, lawsuits should only be done when the opponent is totally weakened and everyone knows that he will suffer an extreme defeat.

But before I opened my mouth, Keun SeJin came out first.

"Apparently, they haven't agreed to do that yet."

He seems to have finally come to his senses.

— Hyung-nim, your plan is that after we win the trial, we'll go to another agency, right?

— ... Yes.

— Hmm, then all the programs that we make for Loviewers and that T1 invests in will no longer be aired or it will be very difficult for them to be aired, don't you think?

— ... There are many types of programs that are broadcast... Nowadays, there are many other ways to do active broadcasts such as WeTube and....

Bae Sejin swallowed saliva.

— But if we don't leave now, we'll have to keep working with that agency for three more years.... Maybe they'll do something to make us renew our contracts after those three years are up!

— ...

— That's why, what I want to do now... I-I think it would be the right thing to do.

Keun SeJin rolled his eyes, but soon responded in a moderately cheerful tone.

— If the lawsuit does well, it would be good~ But if we don't promote for more than a year, our careers will die.

— ...!

— Then... even if we win, I don't think there will be any agency that would want to sign a contract with us.

Keun SeJin finished his speech softly.

— We have to be very popular for other agencies to want to fight to get us out of T1, but if time goes by, that won't be possible~...!

— ...

— I think it would be good to make a deal with the agency, add more people to our team of specialists and add more clauses to our contracts.... What do you guys think about that?

It seemed that Bae Sejin had a lot to say, but his complexion worsened as he thought of various expected answers and felt beaten beforehand.

"His argument is working."

Holding my head, I spoke to them.

— First...let's look at the show of hands. Who wants to file a lawsuit at this time?

Bae Sejin slightly raised his hand.

Then, quickly, Cha YooJin raised his.

— ...

— We will win!

I'm afraid that since he's an American, he's crazy to hire a lawyer immediately.

— Yeah, Cha YooJin, do you want us to take a sabbatical year?

— Even if we don't do anything for a year, it's okay! We can do it again!

That's a very positive, confident and unrealistic answer. Thank you.

— So who wants to stay in the company and try to improve the atmosphere there?

Obviously Keun SeJin voted for that, and unexpectedly... Kim RaeBin followed him.

— There are many excellent people in the company, so it would be good to cooperate all together to improve the company....

— ...

In other words, it is very positive and unrealistic. Thank you.

Then, all that's left is Ryu CheongWoo and Seon AhHyun.

— What about you, AhHyun?

— I-I... a-anyway, as long as everyone is comfortable and safe, everything will be fine...!

— Okay.

That's something he would say.

— ... How about you, CheongWoo hyung?

— ... I think similarly. I think it would be good to file a lawsuit... but we are a group of people with different opinions and we should respect them for the sake of our careers.

CheongWoo answered slowly.

— MoonDae, what do you think?

Me? It's simple.

— ... Don't you think it would be difficult to make a demand at this time?

Even if there were no plans to tour, I'm against the lawsuit.

"It has become too big a problem."

From the moment it stopped being a group problem and became an accusation of violating workers' human rights, the large T1 conglomerate will not allow itself to lose any lawsuit.

If TeSTAR makes a claim, it will be precedent-setting.

"And if the workers' union files a lawsuit, T1 will go crazy."

So, after analyzing the situation thoroughly, all we can do after hitting him hard is to hope that the friendly relationship we have with T1 is not hurt.

"The company has to be left in a position where it apologizes to TeSTAR."

Even if it doesn't really feel that it should, it would be good to use this moment to change the view people have of it.

But I can't say this directly because of Bae Sejin's contribution.... so I will turn it around.

— Unfortunately we don't know what public opinion will be like in the future. Why don't we wait a little longer and collect the data so we can file a lawsuit if conditions are good?

— In secret?

— That's right.

Bae Sejin looked thoughtful as he listened to the conversation, but soon nodded his head.

— ... Yes, that's right. I can't just... instate my opinion... B-because we're a team!

— ...

I think this guy finally started to taste the same blackberry flavor that AhHyun tasted in Icorpo.

TN: "뽕" means "blackberry," but it is also one of the letters of "Philopon" (히로뽕), a name by which methamphetamines are also called. This slang is used to describe a part of the state that the drug also causes: something that makes you feel much better than usual, amazing, powerful, confident and strong.

"Well, that's kind of cool."

— Team~ TeSTAR, Come on~!

— You're absolutely right, hyung!

After shrugging my shoulders, I managed to get back to what I was going to say.

— And why don't we take a look at the atmosphere and deal with the schedule that's already been set?

— Eh?

— Wh-why...?

— We can't forget the issue of the penalties we will receive if we cancel our schedules. I think the atmosphere will be better if the group shows that it is in good health.

— ...

— You too?

— Yes, me too. Oh, of course it would be when my body is better. When my health is fully recovered.

I'm not lying, it literally means what I just said. Thanks to the Nectar skill, I can say those words without hesitation.

— Hmm...

— I'm saying that especially because there must be many people who have already booked tickets for the tour, so it's better to give as many performances as possible.

— N-NO!!!

— ...!!

W-what?

... Seon AhHyun just shouted.

I stared at him. Although the expression on his face had changed, he was still standing firm.

— Moo-MoonDae-ya, you need to rest!

— Then, after taking a rest....

— Y-you need to rest a lot!

What is he talking about?

— AhHyun is right, MoonDae-ya.

— I was wondering what you wanted to tell us, but if it's about the tour... MoonDae MoonDae, you need to enjoy resting in your bed more.

— ...??

— You don't have to worry about the preparations for the next album, as we will inform you about it.

— Live for a long time, hyung!

If I go on like this, I won't live for long.

However, the guys were determined and maintained the attitude that there was no compromise at all.

I think this is because the impression of having been in a coma for 18 days is too strong.

"I can't even talk to them about Nectar."

If I pretended to be crazy and talked about the status window, I can see a future where they would add more things to my schedule, including counseling and hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital.

While suffering from a pain in my temples, CheongWoo said with a warm smile.

— And MoonDae-ya, the cancellation of the tour in the second half of the year has already been approved.

— ¡...!

Crazy guys.

These damn bastards gently patted my shoulders and said bluntly.

— I hope you don't overdo it and stay healthy... Our fans would rather you just write posts or upload pictures once in a while.

— ...

— We will do that for a while.

— That's right~ Hyung is right~
— I'll be encouraging you to focus on getting your health back!

In the end... the tour flew by.



*   *   *

— ...

Lying in the hospital room from which the boys left, I analyzed the situation.

And I came to a conclusion.

It all went to shit.

"How can I have 400,000 audience without touring?"

Will I have to do 40 guerrilla concerts somewhere in Myeongdong or Neverland?

TN: "Guerrilla concerts" are concerts held by idols and artists at random locations and times, as well as being promoted almost at the last minute. In South Korea, they were established in the first generation of idols for groups to compete with each other to see which group was more popular, setting goals such as exceeding X000 amount of spectators. Nowadays they are no longer held for competition, just to draw attention and surprise their fans. Myeongdong is a popular shopping area where several guerrilla concerts have been held and Neverland is a reference to "Everland", the largest theme park in South Korea.

My head tingles with pain.

"... I can't even get mad because I know they meant well."

I sighed a couple of times and tried to make various plans, then slapped my hand.

"I need to find out more about the conditions of the audience."

And before that, let's do something.

I turned on my phone, took a few pictures of myself and picked the one that came out well.

And I logged on to social media.

___

Hi Loviewers

I'm MoonDae 🐶
I'm eating healthy and I'm doing well.
Thanks for waiting
I'll see you soon, when I'm better
___

And I attached the picture I chose.

"... It's been 21 days."

I'm a little nervous.

Sure enough, soon enough, the social media notifications started updating like crazy.

— MoonDae-ya!!!

— Thank you very much

— ♥♥♥♥ ㅠㅠㅠ

— You have to be well, MoonDae, eat well, rest well and sleep well....
   L Don't sleep too much again hahaha.
   L I will sue you no matter what.

— Stay healthy and happy for a long time

— ...

They were written messages, but it seemed to have a warm atmosphere and I could almost hear their voices.

"That's reassuring to me."

I laughed and kept checking the comments.

I had a few expectations.

"If the fans are happy to know I'll be back soon, this will be a test..."

— It's okay if you don't come back soon, MoonDae-ya, your health is the most important thing.

— MoonDae-ya, please take care of your body.

— ...

Even if they say that, they will want to see me in person... I think.

That's the way it should be.

"I'm getting angry."

I threw my head back and tossed my phone to the side of my pillow.

Jiing, jiing, jiing!

Then, as if it had been planned, the phone rang several times.

"I just got social media notifications."

Feeling a bit puzzled, I picked up my phone again.

And upon checking... it turned out to be a text message.

[(Photo)]

About 20 photos of a family dog came to me in a row.

- ...

Wah, this is good to see.

"Ya, say something, you fucker."

If you're going to leave me with a broken straw, at least try to catch it.

TN: The broken straw has some hole and you can't sip well with it. In this case, this expression means something that is not helpful, that gives false hope. "If you're not going to help me, at least pretend you are."

[VTIC CheongRyu sunbae-nim]

I decided to call this guy.
