Debut or Die - 266
Cha YooJin was used to speaking in a language that was not his mother tongue.But it did not guarantee a perfectly rich expression. Some misunderstanding always happened.So, the words Cha YooJin chose were always simple.- They ask bad questions.- The documentary staff?- Yes!Cha YooJin nodded and put the ice cream in his mouth.And started mumbling in fast English.- What traces did the car accident leave behind? How hard is it to prepare for a concert? We have no injuries or safety issues! After all, have you ever felt skeptical about what we do? It was as if I was being interrogated by a police officer.Park MoonDae replied, clasping the fingertips of both hands together.- They have been asking you if you were feeling unhappy.- Yes!He had understood everything he had said, that's why he loved talking to him!- Why do they do that? So, we don't have enough time to show each other in a great way, the best of us. And I'm usually happy!"I wanted to please and entertain, not show pain or negative energy."Cha YooJin had a philosophy about his work. He didn't want to live like some celebrities who sell their personal life for fame.So he folded his arms.Coincidentally, it was the same posture as the person in front of him.- For that, I will not apologize.It was a firm statement, but the pink-haired boy on the other side smiled.- ... You must have been really upset about what Lee SeJin said, right?It was correct.- Obviously!- Lee SeJin said it for you. If you hit the camera, you'll lose out. People will misunderstand.- It's okay. I don't care.- Then take care of the group, because we do care.- ...Park MoonDae used an ambivalent expression to refer to both harming the group and caring about Cha YooJin.However, Cha YooJin only understood the latter and nodded hid head."You're worried about me."It was a pure function of linguistic misunderstanding.- And the production team... maybe they wanted to show that even if we are not happy and have gone through an unfortunate event, we can handle hard work. It's going well, we are showing a lot of interesting thingsPark MoonDae slowly changed the course of his words.- Everyone has pain, and seeing us suffer from it in person makes us see each other as human beings. It seems genuine.Cha YooJin respected this intelligent member of his group and listened to everything he had to say.And Park MoonDae respected Cha YooJin's opinion.- But they can't force you to show pain.That was the right answer.- Yes.Cha YooJin growled.- They're all damned liars.- Are they lying?- In the first interview, I said it very clearly. I don't want to be asked questions about injuries, pain or personal history. I told them to talk to the agency about it!- ...! Hmm.- They nodded and said they would be careful. But you saw it too, didn't you, hyung?- Yes, I saw it.During the concert, they were trying to film Cha YooJin in pain, and I remembered that the camera was trying to confirm his "uncomfortable" feelings.Plus endless questions about the accident!- I don't want to do that.- Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be careful.The answer was simple.But constantly, every chance they got, they tried to ask a similar question.That was no longer worthy of respect.- It was a lot! More than 10 times!- ...Besides, it was definitely bad that they didn't want to change their target even though they made him angry.- YooJin-ssi regained his composure quickly... Didn't he have an accident before?They obviously intended to ask him about Park MoonDae when he was in a coma!"They're asking about the days when he was unconscious, not understanding that we're in the middle of a concert?""How dare they ask such a question!"- That was so rude. That's mean. I stopped them.Cha YooJin used Korean again to say his argument more forcefully....And Park MoonDae seemed lost in thought.- ...But it wasn't long before the answer came.It was the answer he had been waiting for.- You're right.- ...!"He was right!"- Okay, I understand.Park MoonDae concluded simply and briefly.- Let's look for an apology. It's their fault.- I like it!Cha YooJin made a fist and raised his other hand to punch and shake it. Park MoonDae thought, "Why is he doing that?" but replied without showing any expression."This is the pleasure of being in a group!"Cha YooJin shook his hand and smiled jovially.Of course, there was work to do ahead of time.- I will eat it all.- Yes, eat a lot.Cha YooJin spent the morning relaxing on the beach with Park MoonDae.It was quite a nice day off.

- Buy pizza! The pizza here is delicious!- Okay.While the sun was in the middle of the sky, Cha YooJin recovered completely. And when we were on our way back to the hotel, we ordered pizza."I will do it."Today, I was going to listen to everything this guy would ask me. Besides, it was just a pizza, he doesn't even need to lose weight.- It cost $89.- Here you go.I paid for the pizza and organized the situation in my head.As expected, when I gave Cha YooJin something sweet at the nearby beach, the situation before and after eating came to light."Cha YooJin deserved to be angry."Hearing the story, it was more than what was done to me.The documentary crew filmed YooJin and scratched him gently.I immediately guessed the reason."It must be because YooJin is the least refined."He seemed the most modest and sincere among us, so it would have looked better to tear the crude words out of him.And more than anything, it was a "challenge" that they had chosen to record him in a particular image to show in the documentary.TN: In short, they were deliberately provoking him as they wanted that violent reaction in the documentary."Wow..."I remembered what I heard from a professor at a Liberal Arts Photography lecture when I was in college."He said it's better to take pictures of people and then negotiate with them rather than taking them after asking their permission to do so."All opportunities to take realistic photos disappear when they are allowed. After thinking about that comment, I remembered that it was probably due to a controversy in the university community.But if that sentiment is prevalent in some parts of the entertainment industry, then TeSTAR was unlucky to have been tapped by this production team for the documentary.Because we were unaware of its scope."It's time to warn them at once."At the same time, YooJin asked me while walking happily with her pizza.- Hyung! I have a question. How will we talk?- We don't need to talk.I said calmly.- The company will take care of that. Just accept the apology.There are a lot of circumstances they're going to talk about that could reverse the situation.- Go upstairs and eat first. I'll go make a phone call.- Got it!As soon as I got back to the hotel, I contacted the agency.After the recent agreement, the administration side has also been replaced and has become a bit faster and more efficient. There is no need for us to worry about our image by ourselves.- Hello... Yes. I met YooJin.- Yes! We found out the location of YooJin-ssi and you, MoonDae-ssi.- Good. Then, I listened to YooJin's story. I will tell you now.I gathered YooJin's words that I heard on the beach and made a suggestion.- ...It's something that the production team shouldn't do, right?- Oh~The manager's voice changed slightly.- I know what you mean.He said it in a tone that exuded a strange confidence. That means he understood my point."It finally looks like we do have a company."Until now I had thought that they should pay only Ryu CheongWoo, but I welcome them.TN: He means that up to that point he believed that CheongWoo had fully fulfilled not only the duties of group leader but also the duties of manager, but now that they finally have a management team of managers fit in their job, he welcomes them.I ended the call and went up to the hotel room.And the moment I visited YooJin's room to check his status and receive pizza....- MoonDae hyung!- Welcome, MoonDae~The guys with pizza slices waved here and there.They seemed to have stayed gathered in his room, waiting for the moment when YooJin would return to them.- Come, hyung!Cha YooJin is sitting in the middle with a look of frustration. The atmosphere was already settled after talking for a bit. With Seon AhHyun as the interpreter, it must have been possible.- O-over here, MoonDae...!- Oh, thank you.I sat down among the greeting guys.- Is the discussion going well?- Of course~ Aigo, was my YooJinie upset because his hyung didn't ask him what was wrong and tell him to apologize?- Yes!!!- I was afraid that I'd be in big trouble if you didn't apologize. Obviously I'm on YooJinie's side!- It's okay!!! I didn't argue either. I'm really sorry.- Yeah, yeah, let's do better!With how fast they are, the reconciliation was done in a brief moment. Bae Sejin seemed to be in agony with an expression that seemed to say, "Why is it happening so fast?", but he soon gave up and ate pizza.And Kim RaeBin was the only one who was still serious.- Cha YooJin, be sure to leave after contacting me from now on. Even on days off, we have an official schedule, so we have to be careful.- Hmm, okay!- ...! Yes.RaeBin was a bit puzzled, but soon felt proud. That's good.TN: "잘 노는군" means "that's good" or "good move", but it's said in a sarcastic way.However, CheongWoo seemed to be thinking hard about something while watching this scene."Hmm."Seeing that his expression is comfortable, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.The real big deal will pour into the production team in a few moments."I'm looking forward to it."I ate pizza, looking forward to watching the scene.And later.Before the members' group interview began, we overheard the conversation between the agency staff and the production team in the next room.- As far as we can tell, this is a total breach of contract.- No, that's a misunderstanding.- It's too obvious a breach to be a misunderstanding. When we first talked about it, it was all said and done.- Haah, if they're that involved in the filming?- No, I heard that the artist had already told you to talk to the company several times. Since everything is recorded, we'll check it out.- ...!Yes, that's the problem.YooJin had mentioned "the company". In fact, he did it many times.The party refused to talk about a specific issue and asked them to talk to "the company", but they ignored him and kept sticking to him, provoking him.It is a breach of contract. Because this provision is in it.[If during the filming a request is made to A that is related to his confidential personal information, B will have to agree with A's decision about the disclosure of the information].There is also a liquidated damages provision in case of breach of the provision.Since T1 is behind this agency, the studio production team, not the broadcaster, will have no choice but to say "No choice" and honor the contract since the company is powerful.The guy who overheard the conversation in the room with me tapped my shoulder.- Iyaa, MoonDae has a good head.- What?TN: KeunSe used an expression that means he is "very smart/smart".I shrugged my shoulders.Now, using this as an excuse, the contract to make the documentary might be broken, so the data was destroyed.- Yes, do that, please.And the deal seemed to work.In the end, before filming began, the production team even apologized to YooJin, although it was more of an excuse.- Sorry if we made you feel uncomfortable.The excuse was, "We didn't want to do malicious editing, we just wanted to make more honest and good content."- ...Okay~ But it's my content, so listen to my opinion.Things didn't get worse when Cha YooJin went ahead in earnest, but the production team's behavior became cautious."Okay."I stopped YooJin from raising a thumbs up in my direction.The filming of the remaining documentary continued with a more focused approach to the TeSTAR experience.And the night after the interview.TeSTAR emerged from their respective individual rooms and gathered in a huge hotel room.- It's so spacious!- Oh~ It's so nice. Are you inviting us, CheongWoo hyung?- Hmm, just for today.CheongWoo, who prompted this meeting, closed the door and replied.- I think the company will take care of the expenses from now on.- From now on...? Oh.Are we going to do this again in the future?- Yes. I thought it would be nice to spend one day a week all together while we're on tour, but what do you guys think?CheongWoo looked quite serious.- I've been thinking about it, but on this tour we don't have much time to talk because we use individual rooms and have little free time.- That... that's true.Everyone who lived moderately well being alone for the past few weeks looked at CheongWoo blankly.- I think that's why YooJin-ah's job has become more complicated. We didn't have time to know each other's thoughtsChengWoo ended his speech with a smile.- I hope we have time to talk and take care of each other. That's my opinion.I felt his sincerity, and in a moment, out came the boys who were moved.- Hyung...- Heuk, heuk, that's so touching!- I-I like it...!- Well, that... that's not bad. It's just one day.Even Bae SeJin, the guy who supported having single rooms, agreed to this proposal. In fact, it was almost unanimous in the end.- How about you, MoonDae?- ...it's okay.It was a good decision. It may prevent unexpected behavior.I nodded softly, but suddenly realized the reality."Wait, he said it in a nice way, but.... After all, isn't it like going to a workshop once a week?"In the end, we'll get these guys together and check if they're thinking in vain and talk about albums, activities and concerts?No. Everything was already spread out on the floor.TN: I assume that's a phrase that could be interpreted as "The tracks were on the ground" or "The evidence was in plain sight." A nice excuse that actually has a hidden reason, which is easy to understand if you think about it.- Our teamwork is the best. I am impressed.- I think we should have a video projector at the next meeting.- Shall we order room service? Let's play cards while we eat.- ...Okay, we've come a long way to keep treating them as just co-workers. What co-workers?"No, this is more like a club."I lay back on the couch and admitted it. Now it makes me uncomfortable to call meeting these guys as a work shop."... No, it's more than that."I won't deny it. Even though I'm in the middle of all these people... it was very comfortable.I relaxed my mind."At the moment, I just need to focus on the tour."... But I overlooked one thing.YooJin's sensitive footage was removed due to the company's strong measures, but my footage remained as it was because there was no protest.The repercussions of the "perfectionist idol who overcomes the aftermath and gives his best"... were just around the corner.
