Ye

Debut or Die - 262

When the music video for TeSTAR's first main song was released, the style of presentation people expected to see was as follows.

- Will the dance style tickle me?
- I think it's going to be refreshingly sweet. Maybe they'll wear white t-shirts with jeans or a school uniform ㅠㅠ.
- It will have a cool and soft feeling, like "Picnic".

TN: "Tickle" in the sense that it will cause a little thrill or be mildly joyful or amusing.

And the presentation that was now taking place was the exact opposite.

On the darkened stage, fluorescent LED lights and white spotlights flashed on the costumes.

At the start of the song, a member entering center stage abruptly tossed a doll mask to the side of the stage, showing his proud face.

Hwek.

The eyeballs of the doll mask glowed under the moving lights.

Good luck! Come soon
Step on today and come faster
Run, hurry up
Giant flames
Immortal night

The seven, dressed in biker jackets and tight leather pants, glided across the dark stage and performed exhilarating choreography.

Each time the luminous LED paint in the background moved, crashed into each other and scattered, the boys' boots hit the ground intimidatingly in rhythm.

There was even one member who took off his dummy mask and kicked it as part of the choreography. It was Lee SeJin's part.

That act provoked a sense of power and freedom of action.

Not only did it happen with Park MoonDae, who was the first hitter, but also various colors emerged every time the members took off their masks.

They were strong colors that contrasted with the black suit.

A hit that works
To all the pistons
And the engine heats up

The song was composed of only extreme elements, such as extremely low notes or high-pitched melodies and rap, but it was also easy to like on the first hearing due to its good rhythm and composition.

Run faster
Split the sky
Do a supreme stunt tonight

And the rushing feeling, which had been sharpening just before the pre-chorus drop, changed when an elongated exclamation was made.

Yeaaaah—

After the voice and musical accompaniment faded, what cut through the brief silence was... a whistle.

Hwi– Hwihwi– ¡Hwiiik!

And the iconic choreography of the chorus continued, where everyone moves as if they were one person.

The riff melody, which adheres well to the song, highlighted the addictive and rhythmic feeling.

The whistles and short rhythmic beats harmonized well with the playful choreography that followed them like mime.

Jump off

Cha YooJin, who was the center and had dark hair, smiled.

It was quite remarkable that the member who usually had various colored hair was the only one who had black hair.

In addition, he had scarlet-colored contact lenses in his eyes.

You don't need a parachute
Just jump in.
Go ahead, come in

The sound of hard boots scuffing the smooth ground came over the microphone.

The whistling melody was fast and upbeat, but felt a bit eerie and vicious for using notes in a minor scale.

In the middle of the night
Just wake up
Go ahead, come in

The echoing siren became another beat to the melody.

Like a drill
Warning, warning, emergency

As if riding amusement park rides, the members struck exquisite poses using their arms and legs in intense choreography.

Regardless of likes or dislikes, it was at the performance level for a survival program.

That's ma thrill, Ha!

The end of the song came running in a hurry.

Suddenly, while everyone was shocked by the dance break of Seon AhHyun, who was at the center of the stage, many dancers with their masks came out.

And meanwhile, the other members took the opportunity to put their masks back on and position themselves in their final formation.

And they made an intense but funny movement, twisting their necks wearing the doll masks as if they themselves were wooden dolls.

Kkiiiiiiiiik!

The sound of a motorcycle with brakes echoed across the stage.

Suddenly, the lights went out.

Drill

Thus ended the presentation.

However, the audience response had only just begun.

*   *   *

- Waah, that
- Hahahahahahahahahahaha
- TeSTAR! TeSTAR! TeSTAR! TeSTAR!
- Hahahahaha that was crazy

Shouts, admiration and laughter flowed from the audience in front of the stage to the streaming publications on the Internet.

There was no noble interpretation or special meaning in the performance.

People were excited by the crazy song and performance that reached the goal of leaving them saying "WOW".

For that's what they had made that song for.

- I loved it. Sht, after all, the taste of TeSTAR is enjoyed watching them perform on stage hahahahaha.
- They are good at giving unexpected things
- Why did Park MoonDae do rap? No, why did they all dye their hair hahaha.
- When he took off the doll mask, I got goosebumps. I was embarrassed, ha


It was a performance with three virtues: an intense and funny performance, a popularity that could accept that they have played corrupt roles with their own personality, and a surprise that fans liked.

The most genuine fans enjoyed the taste of the new activity that night, tearing up excitedly for the performance.

The atmosphere of the fandom, which had once cooled down because of YoungRin, warmed up again.

They had not expected such a pleasant and appropriate turn!

- Identifying them by hair colors:
00:26 Park MoonDae - pink / 00:38 Lee SeJin - ash blonde / 00:51 Kim RaeBin - silver / 01:02 Seon AhHyun - light purple....
- I love Bae Sejin's blue hair. It's perfect for summer ㅠㅠ.
- I thought CheongWoo wouldn't look good with gray hair, but he does. Let him keep the gray, he looks like a handsome wolf, let him look like a wolf.
- I compared the pre-released song with the song they just introduced. There are many parts that match. It seems that the lyrics of both songs are related
- Hurry up and release the song. I wonder if the company rows only when water enters the boat.

And before the fun times are over, TeSTAR immediately released a new music video at the stroke of midnight.

[TeSTAR (테스타) "Drill (Night)" Official MV]

- Hul
- No, what's going on? haha
- So soon?
- They just released the crazy song hahahahaha.
- Are they finally paddling because water has already come in?

The popularity that exploded when watching the live performance, this time happened in the music video. Thus, the amount of buzz exploded once again.

In the music video, the refreshing visual beauty and the charm of group dance were extracted with extremely high purity.

Inside the outdoor amusement park at night, lit up with firecrackers and luminous paint, the members dressed in exaggerated costumes of the staff continued to perform a choreography full of acrobatics.

Wearing a doll mask, one of them rode a wild motorcycle with a siren blaring and raced into the plaza.

- It's a day/night concept in a fantasy theme park.
- That's right. It's fun to see the group dances in idol music videos.

Thanks to the talented members, it wasn't awkward at all, it was just brimming with attractive power. It was a bit mysterious and strange, so it was fun and, most of all, it was enjoyable to watch.

Of course, there was nothing that seemed to be a direct element of the worldview, but it wasn't entirely isolated.

[Music videos are crazy, right?]

The scenes of the Drill and Wheel music videos are connected at different times.

(Link) In front of the merry-go-round, in front of the Ferris wheel, in front of the mirror, they are all in the same composition.

If you search, you will find more connections

___

- It gave me goose bumps
- I can't believe they're connected like this
- This is crazy, completely insane. After reading this I realized that if you play the chorus of Drill in reverse, the melody sounds similar to Wheel (Archive).
   L Incredible
   L The instrumentals of those songs are unique... wow... wooow....
  L ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Aaaaaaaah this is so fun. When will the album get in my hands? I need to see it in a hurry ㅠㅠ

This is because the two main songs had been composed symmetrically.

It was great fun to see how the freshness and mystery of the day was transformed into the radicalness and splendor of the night.

And TeSTAR had no intention of scrapping the pre-released song at all.

The second day of ToneA, which ran for two days in a row, also featured a performance of "Wheel (Day)".

Put me back on the wheel
To fly away

It was a beautiful and refreshing performance that used camera work to the limit on a large stage that looked like an amusement park.

The reaction to this performance, which would have been good originally, even drew attention due to the contrast with that of "Drill (Night)" which had been performed on the previous night.

Moreover, it raised TeSTAR's reputation to the next level.

- TeSTAR has a broad spectrum. This will be fun
- Waah, they made the right decision to make two main songs and have them both contrast. It's amazing that they are so different
- As expected, the singers should do their main job well.....
- Oh, it's the song they pre-released. It's hard to do this when they do a surprise release at midnight... Congrats congrats

TeSTAR's strategy of promoting the songs even if they were not at the top of the music charts was a great success.

However, the person in charge of planning this work was biting his tongue at the somewhat disappointing aftertaste.

*   *   *

"I don't get the 'Mission cleared' message."

I frowned at the mission window where the countdown was still running.

In fact, this time we managed to receive the Daesang in ToneA. "Artist of the Year'' award.

"It was possible because there were three categories in which to win the Daesang."

While VTIC took the daesang for "Best Album" and YoungRin took the one for "Best Song," we also got one.

Still, VTIC's fans think that we "took it away" from them because of company problems, so this maybe a normal thing.

It is similar to when we won the "Rookie of the Year".

"I have to admit that the Daesang depends on how the public feels."

TN: It doesn't matter if they give them the Daesang, if the public doesn't agree, then it's like they didn't get it. Not to forget that ToneA is an award event of T1, so the public will not accept that award as "Daesang" for TeSTAR since it's like their own house is giving it to them because it's their child group. If they were to give them the Daesang in another award, the public would accept it and it would be listed as an achievement for the state window.

We definitely should have been at the level of the current VTIC. So far, TeSTAR is only in the challenger position.

So far.

"This year, we have to go so far as to go to bat and take its place."

Maybe it is possible with this album.

The album sales were huge, perhaps because the fans were determined to make it so. It was 700,000 pre-orders. It's better than when we released "Calling."

... It may have been influenced by the commercial technique of selling 4 special editions of the album with limited reserves.

Still, the composition was good, so it won't be against commercial morality. In addition to the photobook, we added the privilege of a Blu-ray and a keychain of the doll mask.

"We're also doing well in the music rankings."

I'm not sure if the presentation strategy worked properly, but the pre-released song, "Wheel," was climbing up the music charts.

Sure, we didn't surpass YoungRin, but it's all about perception.

"We seem to be trending."

The more popular the songs on this album become, the less negative reaction there will be when we gain the top spot.

That will be a perfect result at a time when we need a reputation for topping music rankings "because it's worth it," even if the music composition is less good than YoungRin.

To tell the truth, they are already saying similar words.


- It's a pity that TeSTAR didn't release Drill first.
- If they had released that song before they had performed it, it would have been higher in the rankings.
- I think the promotion strategy failed. If they had released Drill first, we would have supported it and won.
   L 222 to this

The strategy, by contrast, is shining more brightly on public opinion, which thinks TeSTAR has lost money because of the strategy's failure.

"Good."

After winning over the public opposition, we can win 1st place in the music shows. I decided to be satisfied with that.

Well, even if I wasn't satisfied, I didn't have time to do anything else.

- Hyung, your mask is really cute!

- Oh, yours too.

- My mask is a tiger, so it's cool!

No, it's a striped cat's head. I bypassed Cha YooJin, who made a lame argument, and positioned myself in formation.

This way, even in the free time between schedules, it is necessary to use interludes to record choreography videos or to practice and learn the scripts.

TN: They always have to prepare and practice a script for their appearances in music shows, entertainment shows or the awards shows that are yet to come.

- Did you check your phone~?

- Yes, the answer is good.

I affirmed and put my phone on a corner.

- Are you all satisfied with the other song? I wonder how many similarities you can find between the two main songs!

- They found them well. The analysis articles are already appearing.

- Is that so?

- RaeBin-ah must be happy~.

I saw Keun SeJin and Kim RaeBin, who started wearing the doll heads while fixing their dyed hair, rejoice at the good news.

To be more precise, I saw the color of their hair on their head masks.

"That...won't be able to be washed off with water."

Everyone's hair was still in good condition because we have strong roots, but more importantly, the sweat drops are dyed with color.

Since all seven of us are like this, every time we do something, it's a total mess. It looks like the inside of the doll heads will be dyed before we finish these promotions.

"Everyone must be having a hard time handling it."

For a while the bathroom was going to be a disaster. Still, it's a significant challenge, so everyone seems to be pleased.

"Because people like it."

I think that's worth it. We'll just have to put up with it for a month or two.

My head...hmm, it's got a little static electricity.

[Hi]

I shrugged and performed the choreography perfectly as the song began.

And at a time when the days were so busy that they passed quickly, a new schedule also came out.

- Oh~ A Spring tour!

- We'll finally have concerts again.

- I-I'm looking forward to it...!

It's this year's concert tour.

So far, I got it. Last year we had to cancel our tour, so it was time to do it.

However, the layover was a problem.

- ... We will tour the domes.

- Yes!

In Japan, a large concert hall with a capacity of over 30,000 people was scheduled for the tour.

I thought it was a joke.

"I thought an Arena would be perfect for our weight class."

TN: In Japan, most concert halls called "Arena" have a capacity between 12,000 to 15,000. MoonDae thinks that they are not yet popular enough to sell all the tickets for a dome.

But this was not the case.

- It will be a total of 6 concerts, starting in Tokyo and ending in Osaka....

- Oh...

These bastards have really pushed concert halls aside.

... It turns out that the company's top management was biting their nails looking at last year's fourth quarter financial statements.

Due to the tour cancellation, profits were down during the downtime.

So the CEO made the decision...to overestimate demand for next year's TeSTAR performances and set aside several concert venues.

And one of them was a dome on tour in Japan.

"Hmm, I doubt this is going to work."

We don't have enough weight to include a dome on our tour, do we?

But...

- Oh, they sold out?

- ...?

Surprisingly, it worked.

I wondered if our album received good responses in Japan or if it was a lie, but the CEO's exaggerated calculations last year were right on the money.

And that didn't just happen in Japan...

"What is this?"

It all started with an opinion YooJin made about the promotions.
