Debut or Die - 243

In the monitoring equipment, I saw how VTIC on stage was able to continue the conversation fluently without feeling uncomfortable on stage.

[Actually, the longer you promote, the less chance you have to cover other idols' songs.]

[Yes, yes~ Now we can fill the entire concert setlist with our own songs!]

[That's wonderful. Still, it was a lot of fun to prepare a cover performance after a long time].

No need to review, but I'm sure the comments will be full of noises saying "I understand, the guys could have done a cover with a crappy level and we still would have accepted it, but they would have been frustrated to do it that way haha".

I tried to cross my arms but restrained myself. This is to keep my microphone position from getting out of position.

Those two guys don't have enough power to run entertainment shows on a professional level, but they know how to talk well with each other.

- Th-they... they talk very well.

- If they've been doing it for over eight years, obviously they should be good.

- T-True.

Bae Sejin responded to Seon AhHyun's admiration. He seems to be not too happy that CheongRyu is here.

Well, that's what I expected. When I first mentioned it, he was surprised.

- Why would that crazy guy be at this event...?!!!!!

- Because the platform belongs to his company. I think it would be hard to deny him participation.

- Fuck...!

- That's why... I think it's better to call his whole group. What do you think?

- ... Okay. That's the best.

After that, there was a long discussion, replacing it with "Is it necessary to have this concert on that platform?", but Bae Sejin was finally defeated by a majority vote.

By the way, the other guy who knew CheongRyu was the bastard who had a dogfight with me on vacation? Well, it was a robot who only reacted by saying "yes."

- ...Really? Okay~ I'll have to work hard.

Keun SeJin responded that way at that time.

The problem is that right now he's making a rather rude gesture... Ya, don't pretend to be fanning your neck with your hands and make the gesture of cutting off your head.

Looking at it this way, it looks like everyone is nervous and cautious, but of course, there are also people who are excited.

For example, Kim RaeBin.

- It was quite an adventurous and sophisticated arrangement. Next time, I think it would be fun if we arrange "Sangun" in a way that sounds more modern. how about it?

- ...

I don't.

"If you do that, it will turn into a real fight..."

It could be interpreted as "You dare to use Haengcha like that? Then I'll do the same with Sangun."

I think since it was done at a donation concert, the atmosphere will be warm over water, but if he does that, it really won't be the same response.

It's not a competition program, so there will be excited WeTubers asking what kind of diss this is, so then there will be a real mess.

TN: "Diss" is short for "Disrespect". "Diss tracks" or "Diss songs" are songs whose purpose is to verbally attack another artist(s), either explicitly or implicitly. In this case, Haengcha's arrangement, which then gives way to Sangun has no verbal diss, but implicitly implies that Sangun is the first and true song with traditional references, although it is forgiven as it was done in a "Donation concert, with good intentions". If RaeBin does the same and releases it in another time, then the public will think it is an implicit aggressive response to VTIC, a diss track.

Fortunately, before he spoke, Ryu CheongWoo gently cut off RaeBin's words first.

- Let's do it if we have the chance.

- Yes!

The expression on his face indicates that he doesn't know that chance will never come.

- ...

Although... it's good that at least he's the only one happy with that idea.

No, actually, there's one more guy.

- Let's use flags too!!! Flags are cool!!!!!

Cha YooJin seems to be okay with making a new song. Bae Sejin asked him with an uncomfortable face.

- ... Aren't you nervous?

- Why nervous?

- That's... Because those people did a good job.

- Don't worry, I'm good! Hmm, we're good!

- ...!

Bae Sejin suddenly had a brave expression on his face.

- Th-that's right!

- That's right!

Yes, just shout it out.

I nodded my head and spoke.

- Let's do our best.

- Y-yes!

- That's right, because MoonDae-ssi strongly insisted that we hold this concert~

- Yes, for MoonDae-ssi, who hired a choreographer the day after being released from the hospital.

- ...

Even CheongWoo talked like this?

I will have to make a good performance. The moment I fail, these bastards will hang me upside down and spill red ginseng in my mouth.

Of course, I have no intention of ruining it.

"We'll do what we've prepared."

I smiled and followed them as they rose from their seats.

TeSTAR's turn would be soon.

*   *   *

- Wow!!!

The graduate student sitting at the computer was admiring the VTIC presentation she had just seen.

Because there was no doubt that it was a great presentation!

"Hmm, the original performance is better... it can't be helped! Because the original song is by TeSTAR!"

Feeling proud that VTIC performed such a great main song by TeSTAR, she applauded.

"Our idols are so cool~"

This was the opinion of a person who had not tasted the deeper side of the industry.

Unlike the general public who enthusiastically praised the two, diehard fans were holding their heads tightly and talking about whether this could be a good thing.

- Shit, the N.G.TIC bastards didn't control their spoons. They're ridiculous for coming to a concert of their hoobaes to do that.

- It would have been enough to have a concert with just my kids.... It's really disgusting.

- They came to a donation concert as guests and brought a bunch of dancers... Wow, there will be blood confirmed.

- I should turn off the internet

TN: "N.G." is short for "No good", it has a negative purpose. "There will be confirmed blood" means that VTIC came with his whole team of dancers to pick a fight with TeSTAR, as if they were a gang of gangsters.

VTIC fandom was not much different, but some people enjoyed it when the embarrassment and anger they felt at first subsided.

This is because the presentation was overwhelming.

- It would have been better if they did it on a variety show, but since they got the win, it's ok haha. 
   L Hahahahahaha ah, you have to work hard to raise the number of sales^^
  L Yes, you have to buy and listen to Sangun to raise its ranking in the music charts again. Also need to request to release Haengcha's VTIC cover in digital haha.

- It's funny to see my kids always win the top spot without knowing it. That's why I'm a Tika

- If they have time to do this in their first week of promotions, then also do a fansign ㅠㅠ Oh sht, this will become a dogfight.

VTIC's surprise appearance became known in all social networks and communities.

[This was VTIC~]

[Thank you very much for your participation!]

VTIC concluded the brief talk and bid a friendly farewell.

Meanwhile, a new question appeared on the electronic screen.

[The following presentation is]

A cover of a VTIC song performed by TeSTAR.
2. A cover of a VTIC song performed by TeSTAR...?

It was similar to the previous question.

However, it was missing the option "A cover of a TeSTAR song performed by VTIC", which was replaced by the same first option, except that it had an element of mystery.

- ?
- The number 2 is the same
- Why does it have question marks? Haha

The comments gained momentum again because they felt they could not understand the meaning.

Fans, who had logged into the platform because of VTIC, also stopped mentioning them for a moment.

- Ya, look at number 2.
- I wonder why there's a question mark?
- Looks like it's going to be something fun. Hurry up and write #2
- Hahahahahaha ah, fight

With the words of countless viewers delighted with the unpredictable proposal, the vote was quickly taken.

2. A cover of a VTIC song by TeSTAR...? (179557)

The result of the second option was a complete victory.

"Will it be okay?"

"I don't like it because I think we're going to keep talking about VTIC."

TeSTAR fans were anxious to see, but they could not say anything to the excited audience, so they waited silently for the next performance of their favorite group...

And, as usual, the screen suddenly went dark.

Until now, the darkness before each performance lasted just long enough for them to change stages and the lights to come back on.

But this time, a sound was heard in the middle of the darkness.

Sangun
Their claws are hella sharp
Readily tear you apart

- ...!

It was the lyrics of "Sangun", the VTIC song... that had been performed before.

- Will TeSTAR also do Sangun?
- They are crazy
- Hul

Beyond the embarrassed comments, the spotlight fell on the stage on the screen.

Pas.

It was illuminated... a table set to one side of a dark stage. The camera zoomed in to film a close-up of it.

On the table was a red retro-style radio with antenna.

Given the circumstances, it was as if the song was being played from the radio.

But suddenly, a hand came up to the table and pressed hard on a button on the radio.

No, you can't...

The song died away with a crackling noise.

Then the head of the owner of the hand appeared on the table.

It was Cha YooJin, showing a playful expression.

[Hum, hum, hum~]

Cha YooJin hummed Sangun's melody with an excited expression and even shook his shoulders to the rhythm.

It was obviously the same excitement that the fans felt.

But as soon as the audience relaxed, Cha YooJin suddenly stopped humming, leaned on the table without warning and then did a somersault.

BBA-BAM!

A joyful sound of brass instruments burst out.

And along with those musical notes, the stage lights around Cha YooJin shone brightly as if they were about to explode.

The stage spread out in full view of the audience was... a teenage party room filled with gold, purple and red balloons and LED lights.

On the couch, bar and table, TeSTAR members were standing or sitting, some sipping drinks.

There was a brief silence in which everyone was motionless, as if the tape of a movie had stopped, and then....

BBABAM, BAM, BBA-BAAAM!

The brass instruments resounded some fine chords.

And around Cha YooJin, who seemed to glance inside the pockets on each side of his jeans, Ryu CheongWoo and Lee SeJin ran up to him to take their place in a formation.

As soon as they started choreographing, holding and dancing around pillars that had stickers and banners stuck on them messily, the fast rhythm of the electro swing music accompaniment broke out!

Hey partner
Are you thinking about me?
I wonder, my owner
Where are we going to meet?

Cha YooJin smiled and sang happily.

It was a song that everyone knew.

- NiSi
- Night Sign!!!!
- ???? That...?

That's right.

TeSTAR's song of choice was VTIC's immortal hit, "Night Sign''.

The title track of the monster album that sold 1.8 million copies in the first week.

And it was also the song that was considered to knock TeSTAR out because it was released almost at the same time as the boy group's debut.

The song boasted a hard-hitting stage intensity with sexy lyrics, the instrumental's beat was languid in contrast to its intense dance performance.

But TeSTAR did not perform it "as such".

- Waah, I hadn't noticed
- Awesome hahahahahaha
- Was it such an exciting song?

That's because TeSTAR raised the tone to the max with an upbeat musical accompaniment filled with electric guitars, drums and disco-style electronic sounds.

The lyrics sounded like a youthful flirtation.

We join hands
Linking and bending our fingers
I remember again
Night after night

From the couch to the bar and from the bar to the table.

TeSTAR moved the formation and, naturally, handed the center to the next member whose turn it was to sing the next part.

There was no fixed center on stage as there was no real audience. Therefore, the position of the "center" changed freely depending on the camera angle.

The camera came down from the ceiling when filming Park MoonDae singing his part while lying on the sofa, and zoomed in like a bartender's point of view to Seon AhHyun, who was sitting at the bar of the bar.

And the members laughed playfully, stood on the sofa or the bar counter and joined the center of the stage to perform the great choreography.

Until the end of this night
Remember my eyes
Like a night sign
drag you into a trap.

The colorful mirror ball glowed in the dark and confetti exploded.

The members showed an energetic choreography to the camera by applying wide disco movements using hands and feet frequently following the rhythm.

It was the atmosphere of the retro adolescence of the early 80s.

- Ah, what a thrill hahaha.
- So cute ㅠㅠ
- I'm dancing in my seat

From the hoobae host's point of view, TeSTAR did not choose a head-to-head confrontation as if it were a fight.

Instead, it chose a direction where VTIC, an older group in this music industry, could no longer show itself in a more effective way than TeSTAR.

It was to show youthful enthusiasm and freshness.

Whoo~
Whoo, whoo, whoo
Like a night sign

The members twirled, ranted and sang until their cheeks turned red. They performed the song with a sense of respect, without aggressiveness, with neatness.

Moreover, the lead vocal part performed by Park MoonDae caused a strange feeling.

For VTIC could not sing that part like that anymore.

- Those high notes;
- Really this song is excellent
- So he's the lead vocalist haha.

With that alone, the audience's hearts, which were on fire from VTIC's presentation, dampened a bit. It was because their overwhelmed heads had cooled down.

TeSTAR executed the presentation with neatness and joy without flagging with their overflowing energy.

And the difference between options number 1 and 2 was revealed only at the end.

On the stage, which seemed to end with an exciting party, the members dressed in colorful clothes positioned themselves in a final formation.

Suddenly, the lights turned black and white.

Kkiiiiik

And the members bowed their heads down and stopped moving.

On a black and white stage....

A narration was heard.

Welcome, welcome
It's the sound of calling you

It was the chorus of his song "Calling," which had a nightmarish concept.

It was a somber voice.

Behind the party room, a large banner suddenly came loose and fell, revealing a huge gothic text behind it.

[To be continued...?]

Kwagwagwagwang!!

At the sound of thunder, the members bowed their heads and looked at each other.

Like a trailer for a classic American teen horror movie.

Then... the lights went out and the presentation ended.

[----]

Instead, a peaceful scenario was shown in which the seven chairs appeared and the progress of the donations appeared on the electric screen.

- ????
- Ya, don't stop like that
- Okay, I'll vote hahahaha ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Do the Calling presentation!!!!
- Are they showing the donations? Tell me what is the standard amount to donate?

Obviously, after a brief moment of panic, the comments began to demand another ballot of choices.

It was to withstand the anxiety of comparing the presentations and the curiosity of waiting for the next one they would make.

TeSTAR dared to use VTIC like this and kept the audience's attention on the screen.

It was a successful project.

*   *   *

Soon after, a "commercial break" was announced.

We quickly changed clothes without a break and started socializing with VTIC.

- Waah!!! you guys did great!!!!

- ... Thank you very much.

- Look, we can't dance like this anymore. Everyone, take a nutritional supplement for your joints as soon as possible. In this job, you must keep your knees in good shape.

- That's right! There's a product I take, do you want me to recommend it?

- ... That would be good.

These bastards... they're pretending to be friendly.

I looked at CheongRyu again, also watching the guys, who I had only seen once before on a variety show, giving me personal advice.

- ...

While talking to Kim RaeBin, he looked to this side and smiled. Yeah, I know what kind of guys you picked.

- Oh, I just texted you the name of the product, take a look at it.

- Hmm, okay.

I held back a sigh and pulled out my phone.

Both boys' eyes sparkled.

- Oh~ How did you save our names...?

[VTIC ShinOh sunbae-nim]

[VTIC ChaeYul sunbae-nim]

- Ah...

- That's very... you've scheduled us very professionally...

What did you expect?

I said a few words of thanks for the recommendation of the nutritional complex and ended the conversation.

- Hyung-nims, I haven't seen you guys in a long time~.

- Oh, SeJin!

I won't deny that I felt comfortable because of his support.

And after a while, just before VTIC left due to scheduling issues....

Instead of saying goodbye, CheongRyu, who was still wearing his presentation suit, asked me a question.

No, I'm sure he's masking it as a question.

- You got what you wanted, didn't you?

- ...

I called up the status window.
