Debut or Die - 264
I put my hand on the table.It was a small table set to match the other items in the hotel room, but in front of it was a camera as big as the table.The staff behind the camera spoke.- Please introduce yourself.- Yes. Hello, I'm Park MoonDae from TeSTAR.I nodded to the camera and said with a slight smile.- Currently... I'm on TeSTAR's second concert tour.And I'm also involved in the production of a concert documentary.That's what I'm doing at the moment."Since it's a behind-the-scenes story of the concert, we're being filmed a lot."Because it gives a sense of closeness to each idol and the behind-the-scenes stories of the concert are usually interesting.However, it is rare that a documentary of ours is going to be produced separately. It's encouraging that it's going to be released in front of the general public rather than being treated as a product that only our fans can see.TN: When he says "separately", he means that another company is going to produce it, that is, they are not the ones who made the proposal. The benefit of Netplus is that the documentary will be available for anyone to see, not just their fans.That the production wants to target the entire audience means that TeSTAR has left a mark on how popular music flows."It's a symbol that we're of a different class, so to speak."VTIC, for example, has already released its documentaries about three or four times.So, everyone will recognize that this is an act of knocking on the threshold of heaven.TN: In short, only groups that are at the top of the K-POP industry can have documentaries. The fact that Netplus wants to produce it indicates that everyone accepts that TeSTAR is reaching the level of VTIC.However, whether everyone liked it was a different matter.- ... Won't it be uncomfortable? We'll have the cameras attached for months.- Hmm, I hear they will do it properly after consultation.- I'm a little worried that the content isn't going to be very interesting because our day to day life isn't that much fun....- Ah, the experts will edit it for you~ You don't need to be thirsty for so much fun, it's a documentary, not an entertainment program! Don't you think they'll make it great?In the end, after properly persuading the majority, the documentary started filming and so far there were no problems at all."It's a little... awkward that they're sticking to us so much."For example, something like this.- What part of the tour is most uncomfortable for you?- Well, it's probably the environmental factors... like acclimatization, jet lag, or identifying a new place?- Oh~ I think that's possible. So... how about in a more emotional way?- Hmm, emotionally...I can feel the desire to film raw stuff from the production team.Every camera shows an attempt to reduce the feeling of distance from my inner self.After lowering the tension with a simple question, if you give a refined answer, you will gradually reveal your innermost thoughts.I was inducing a resolution that was different from entertainment production equipment that sought stimulation. Of course, in this case, it is sufficient to provide a more "honest" sounding response.- I think it's hard to bear the fact that the audience cannot fully enjoy the concert due to factors beyond my controlI paused as if thinking briefly, then responded again.- I think that's what worries me and makes me more sensitive. I'm talking about the perfection of the concert.That way, they will feel satisfied that they have unearthed the personality of the respondent.As expected, the staff nodded and moved on to the next question.- So what does the TeSTAR concert mean to you?- I think it's the closest way for me to meet and get to know our fans....After that, I think I gave good answers for the documentary. It is plausible to appear in the edited version.

- Thank you very much.The interview lasted about an hour like that and ended with the staff leaving to visit the next batter.- ...I went to bed.The tour itself is quite a bit more relaxed compared to the promotions period.When the time came, we were assigned a room in the hotel we are in for the tour. We also have a fairly long rest time between concerts to regain physical strength.- It's quiet.I closed my eyes. It was a little uncomfortable, maybe because I've been in the middle of noisy guys for a few years.- ...I was about to have useless thoughts pop up in my head.When suddenly, a question I had heard from the production team echoed in my mind.- So what does the TeSTAR concert mean to you?There was a scene that came to my mind in a rush.It was from the time when we had our first concert tour.It's been a while since we had a concert in Gocheok-dong in Seoul.- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!Screaming, fire, heat.TN: "불꽃" translates to "fire", but it can also mean "fireworks", "sparks" or "lights". I'm not sure if he was referring to the burning passion of the fans, the fireworks that are always at concerts, or the lights on both the stage and the lightsticks.And pure concentration.If that gigantic psychological exaltation and overwhelming feeling is the essence of a concert, then the donation concert that took place non-face-to-face could simply be called a filming.Perhaps since it has been a good while since that experience, I felt the density of emotions as if I had been immersed in the sea.The air is different.While concerts are a good source of income for the company, for artists there was no other place to transcend.If you do it right, you're rewarded with something more than a burden. It's been a long time since this group got it.- Huuh.... It's a relief that the production team didn't join us when we left Seoul."We all came shuffling back."We wouldn't be able to do an interview like this.- I have a blue dream about that day!!! kuheup!The guys who sang our debut song shoulder to shoulder in the room were drunk. If there were no soundproof walls, we obviously would have gotten complaints."Ryu CheongWoo got the request right."I briefly acknowledged the leader's credit. And as I checked the upcoming W Live schedule, I dozed off.... Remembering that there were 34 hours left until the next concert."It'll be soon."Since we are in America, the concert hall is smaller than in Korea, but the fact that it is a concert has not changed. There will be a similar density of pleasure.And after hours of resting in the hotel and doing our rehearsals, the concert started.- Hello LA!- Woooow!Yes, the concert was a special experience and worth doing.However, the impression of the actual production crew filming the documentary needs to be reviewed one more time."These guys are too much..."- MoonDae-ssi, are you okay?- ...I'm fine, don't worry.I took off my respirator and stood up. Then the cameraman hurriedly followed me and the other member of the production team wrote something quickly behind him.That had a profound meaning."Are they creating a story?"Wouldn't it be better to find another idol who is not wearing an oxygen respirator? If they try to highlight "passion" with this, it would just look like a very boring scene."VTIC has shown it before."But after the concert, when conducting the interview, I realized that the situation had restarted.- MoonDae-ssi, have you felt any after-effects after the car accident?- ...? Car accident... Hmm, no. I'm healthy.They started asking about my physical condition."Oh, I see."It seemed like he wanted to establish the "perfectionist idol who is sick but doing the best he can" concept.It's fun to put a narrative without telling the facts in a dry way because it's a documentary, so it's good to try, but...."It's a scam."I'm a man who considers himself cured by modern medical standards.There are a lot of intense movements in the choreographed songs on this album, so I trained and stretched my muscles, so it would be a rip-off to tell the story that way.I'm extremely strong."If you end up using that, you'll get caught using a lie detector."My last defense would be to have an interview about "anxiety after the car accident." I added a little more emphatically.- I had a desire to show a good performance to my fans as soon as possible as I caused them concern, but now I am completely healthy.Then there was a strange silence among the production team.What's going on?- Hmm, MoonDae-ssi, it seems that you exceeded your limits during the concert.- ... Me?Was I at a different concert?- Yes. You had to wear an oxygen mask. The other members also say the same thing.- The other members?What are you talking about?In the middle of this, these bastards are in a state of joy for having caught me embarrassed. Do you think it's so funny?- You can see that since the accident, MoonDae-ssi is having a harder time compared to before. They say it hurts them to see every time you try your best.- ...In the blink of an eye, the evidence flashed through my head.- You... have lost stamina due to the aftermath.- You were severely injured and spent a long time lying in bed, I guess that's why you have that condition.
- It seems that you are physically burdened, they expect you to trust and allow them to support you.No, I just expect Bacchus' support.And even without that ability, look how far I've come. Still, members compare my current state to when I used to constantly get help from "Bacchus".In fact, I forgot that I had unrealistically good physical strength before the accident.And contrary to what I promised, I put the "Mission Constitution" in the vacant place of "Bacchus" and put an end to the apogee of physical endurance that could not be returned....Also, the system is going away and I can't get any more draws."I'm screwed."Checkmate.I kept silent, barely able to open my mouth to say anything.- ... I didn't expect the members to say that.Don't laugh, I'm not moved.But I have to use that misunderstanding.I paused for a moment, then answered slowly.- I was the one who got hurt the most, that's why members pay a lot of attention to me. I'll probably have a similar context this time... I just... I appreciate it....I meant half of what I said.So stop talking about the story of friendship between the members and give up the story of overcoming an injury.But these guys didn't give up.- He's here!- Moo-MoonDae, are you okay?- ... Yes."Ha..."First of all, they persistently filmed and photographed me backstage. They did it particularly when I was breathing hard or leaning on other people. The intention was obvious."They seem to be completely glued to me."I seriously tried to warn them a couple of times, but gave up."Do what you want."Looking closely, they are capturing the interesting points, so I thought the documentary would be fun to show as it was based on fact.Although it also seemed like it would unintentionally instill a distorted illusion about me in the audience, but oh well...."The fighting spirit against injury is a common behind-the-scenes thing."Yes, this profession can start with deception and end with deception.... You just have to do it right to get the money."All indications are that the rumors of the side effects that members said will spread around the world..."I dropped everything and concentrated on the concert.But apparently there was someone who couldn't.- Stop! Stop!- ...!We were in the middle of the VCR projection time, which was a bit long, before the encore, when suddenly, a loud noise came from backstage.It was the voice of one of the least sensitive people in our group.- YooJin?- Is it Cha YooJin?The guys waiting after changing costumes were puzzled by the unexpected situation, so they ran.It was a little awkward because the camera was chasing me, but anyway the elimination of recording was included in the contract."I have to check the situation first."And when I turned down the hallway, I saw the place where the sound was coming from.It was a small medical care room backstage that handled mainly muscle spasms and joint pain.Cha YooJin had received emergency care and had a patch on his shoulder, but there was something more urgent than that.This was because YooJin was facing the documentary crew.- ... YooJin-ah?YooJin looked to my side, but soon looked straight ahead again.To be precise, at the staff member beyond the cameraman.- Don't do that. I don't like it.- Yes, yes. I'm sorry.- Get out. Don't come in here.And he firmly sent the production crew out.- ...Wait a minute.I sent out the cameraman who followed me too. It was a bit annoying that he tried to film us with the door closed, but YooJin was the one who ordered it first.As soon as Ryu CheongWoo confirmed that the door was closing, he turned off his microphone and spoke to him.- YooJin-ah, you have a camera. If you have something to say, say it after the concert, it won't be too late even if the cameras are turned off.- ...- Let's have the concert first and then talk about our complaints. There are only 4 minutes left... no, 3 minutes to do the encore.- ... OK. I understand.YooJin nodded, although he wasn't very happy. He wasn't in the best condition to perform on stage, but I think an encore will be fine.TN: Fortunately, encores don't require a lot of physical effort because it's mostly singing a few last songs and thanking the audience. Even if he's upset or sad, that could be interpreted as him being that way because the concert is ending."The documentary guys have gone too far."Still, I didn't expect YooJin to do that.I don't know what the heck this guy reacted to. I thought the production team held the line.I held back a sigh and opened the door. Immediately the camera burst in.... This time I felt a little annoyed too. That passion for filming may be the cause."I'll have to talk as soon as the concert is over."But before the concert was over, I was fed up once again.
