Ye

Debut or Die - 268

Let's make a proposition.

The production team for the TeSTAR documentary is from a studio that emerged after the production of "Idol Corporation 2" went bankrupt.

And after deleting portions of the recordings that violated the contract, they not only retrieved and stole them, but leaked them as well.

- ...

These sons of f... I have to calm down.

The more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes.

"I need someone to give me their opinion."

The heat in my head can cause a jump in reasoning, so I must keep my mind balanced.

TN: "Leap in reasoning" or "leap in logic" means to come to a conclusion based on too little information or factual data.

So I reported it to the person who can think most coolly at the moment.

- ... No wonder.

The mild expression on Keun SeJin's face, who heard my reasoning, was completely erased. He seems to be convinced.

- For a cultural program, it seemed like overkill for them to get rid of that part of the video story.

- Yes.

It really was a crazy mistake to have staff mixed into a cultural documentary. It was a staff more suited to producing an entertainment program.

Because of that, it was fun to watch the TeSTAR documentary, but they threw our work in the mud, so now we had to endure it.

"I need to smash their rice bowl."

TN: It's an expression said when someone else messes up a job, so one has an urge to strongly rebuke them.

I have no intention of ever watching what these bastards are doing again, whether they make an entertainment program or a celebrity cultural program.

What do I have to do?

First of all, there is the most convenient and simple way.

- Why don't you tell T1?

- Hmm, don't you think the company knew it was the production team of Icorpo 2? Come to think of it, it seems they trusted them and left them in charge of our documentary because they had experience in Icorpo.

I shook my head.

- But that's why I don't want to tell them.

- So?

- Because they are trying to instill suspicions about the situation.

If we change the perspective of this case a little bit, it will be a judgment that the company will be sensitive to.

"I think they were deliberately trying to sell sensitive videos of their singers to other companies or try to negotiate with them."

It's a fatal suspicion of treason.

The leak was not a mistake, but a deliberate attempt to make a profit.

As the Gold 1 agency's industrial espionage shows, big companies tend to go ballistic when they think they've been caught.

"So, it would be good for them to make our agency feel like it was caught."

I quickly explained the issue, and then added a few more words....

- I think T1 will be even angrier because he will think he got hit in the back of the head after he picked them up.

I am encouraged to think that T1 will have his eyes pop out when he realizes that they were crushed by the Icorpo 2 production team that he had naively and kindly rescued in the past.

"Well, that wouldn't be bad, would it?"

So, T1 HQ will see to it that these production team scumbags can never work in the biggest industry again.

If he didn't, they might think it's a non-issue. But it's embarrassing and uncomfortable to have doubts about it. It is common for a small studio to disappear in this industry.

Because it's a company that is clearly and powerfully desperate.

- ...

SeJin rubbed his chin for a moment, but soon smiled bitterly.

- Honestly... Do you think it would work? You're very good at expressing yourself, MoonDae.

- But...

- Yeah, "but..." that doesn't benefit our situation, does it? It would just be their revenge.

- ...

SeJin shrugged his shoulders.

- Well, I think someone like Bae Sejin hyung-nim would like it in a way.... But if you do that, it will fall into the hands of the company, not us.

- ... Right.

I don't know if Bae Sejin will like it, but the second half of what he said is correct anyway.

There are side effects to using that method.

"We have to end this."

It's hard to mention them directly in the public explanation of the Cha YooJin incident.

Obviously, T1's pressure would look like a powerful and unfair action to the public.

And that would coincide with the YooJin controversy.

- Cha YooJin is abusing his power against the production team of the documentary again hahaha.
- Like company, like idol, wow

Noises like that will come out and produce an opposite effect.

Only by dealing with that quietly underwater could we end the careers of these bastards without any problems by surprising them and not finding any kind of defense.

And that would be the wise way.

- ...

But why the fuck I don't like that?

It's just like Keun SeJin said.

I hit the armrest of the sofa.

- I wouldn't like that.

- Yeah, I knew you'd think so.

It's annoying to imagine these production team bastards winning because of "unfair pressure".

Also, even if I don't explain that information, it could be that T1 is already thinking the same thing.

If they were really smart, wouldn't they have made a similar reasoning?

"It would just be blowing a little wind on the game board, but it wouldn't be a great idea."

And... it's true that YooJin would have virtually nothing to gain from this.

"Damn."

I leaned my head back against the headboard of the couch. I need to make a move that's fucking bigger.

- Waah, MoonDae, do you want me to get you some ice water?

- Oh, no.

Let's think.

I've had enough of these assholes. Isn't there some way Cha YooJin can benefit from them?

And I said casually.

- ... Can't they be blamed?

Is there any way to cast these bastards as Internet scapegoats instead of YooJin?

Keun SeJin's voice became strange.

- Ohyu, that would be for the best, but... Hmm....

That means it's a silly thing unlikely to come true.

He's right. If we say they're the ones who made Icorpo 2, they'll reply "So what?". They'll say we're trying hard to sway public opinion. My head is getting cold.

Yes, let's stop the unnecessary delusions and make realistic judgments.

We could do anything that would turn the production team into shit. We've thought about the possibilities, so I'll keep it on hold for now.

"And the only way to benefit YooJin is..."

...Although I've thought about it many times, right now there's no way to do it.

So let's look a little more and think.

When people get bored with the story of YooJin's abuse of power, his fans will take comfort and stay in the fandom when the rest of the story is told.

"There must be someone who wants to talk about YooJin's usual behavior."

All we need is...an eyewitness.

- I'll have to ask for testimonials to be gathered.

- Witnesses? Ah, that YooJinie is a good boy~ right?

- Yes, he is. That'll be helpful later.

- ...Well, I think that would be best for now.

Obviously we can't use it right now as the plan would fail, but it's likely to work if we reveal it after a while.

SeJin smiled bitterly, does that mean it would be too difficult?

"It seems that only I am imagining that we will obtain victory..."

I clicked my tongue and threw my phone on the sofa. Keun SeJin patted me on the back.

- MoonDae MoonDae, you did a great job. Don't worry too much.

- Okay.

...I feel like drinking a beer.

*   *   *

Four days passed like this.

And as expected, the passage of time did not reverse public opinion.

It was quieter than the first day because no more cases were revealed, but not to be bored, there were people who went through Cha YoJin's previous videos and left comments saying "Now that I see it well, it was very cold."

TN: "싸하다" means "cheap" or "cold", but it is an expression to refer to something that produces a heavy, uncomfortable, anxious, tense and suspicious feeling.

As anticipated, there were significant defense publications related to YooJin from stores where TeSTAR frequently went or from officials who worked with him.

However, most of them were dismissed and ridiculed with comments that said "it looks like his company is struggling."

"If YooJin goes to the concert like this..."

I don't know. Even if YooJin looks normal or angry because of the constant curses and negative reviews he is receiving, he will be ridiculed.

- Huuh.

I stopped looking at my phone. I had a headache.

At that moment.

-MoonDae-ssi, excuse me, you're being called.

- ...? Okay.

The manager, sitting in the corner of the studio, picked up his phone and handed it to me.

"I can't think of anyone who can contact me like this."

Noticing that I was tired and puzzled, the manager said quietly.

- It's... one of Miry-nay's members.

- ...!

At that instant, I imagined a reason why she would be contacting me.

It couldn't be.

I held the phone to my ear.

- Hello, I switched phones.

- Hello, sunbae-nim!

TN: According to past chapters, fans gave MoonDae 3 phones and he said he would use all of them from time to time. Also, it is common for sasaengs to get idols' phone numbers, he must have changed his number and that's why MinHa could only contact him by calling the manager's phone number.

It was the voice of the member he had spoken to earlier.

"It's the hoobae who debuted in 2nd place in Icorpo."

It had been a long time, but the situation was urgent enough to waste time saying hello. I got straight to the point.

- You must be calling about something, right?

- Eh? Yes!!! That's... actually, it's because I was asked.

What I had imagined was getting closer to reality.

I spoke impatiently.

- Did any of your concert staff ask you to do this?

- W-what? No, that....

And I finally got the answer I was looking for.

- Yes, you're right...!

- ...

Miry-nay's concert staff.

TeSTAR did not bring to Japan all the staff she worked with in the United States. For activities scheduled in Japan, the proportion of local staff tends to be large.

Instead, the staff who worked with us joined Miri-nay on a small tour they are doing in the U.S., which was promoted by the agency's CEO.

That indicates that the staff member she is talking about at the moment....

"There's a high probability that person worked with TeSTAR while we were filming the documentary."

Hoobae spoke in a slightly shaky voice.

- About that... the unnie who takes care of our muscles also worked on sunbae-nim concert. Ah, I heard you were asking for testimonials from those who worked with you?

That's true.

- It's just... her personal safety! I mean, she wants you to guarantee that...

- Of course she will have.

- N-nice...!

After hearing her swallowing saliva, she got to the main point of the call.

- Unnie... said she recorded it.

Crap.

I held the phone as hard as I could.

"Someone to massage the muscles... It must be the person who attended YooJin when the documentary crew provoked him!"

Good. Very good! If we expose that as evidence, half of the general public will start defending us...

- Sunbae-nim?

...No, let's calm down. I have to confirm it first. I regained my composure.

- What's shown on the recording?

I hope you filmed the trash comments made by the production team.

- Oh... That's...

She replied with an unsure tone of voice.

It was something I didn't expect.

- She told me that Cha YooJin sunbae-nim is shown protecting unnie.

... What??



*   *   *

The story from the staff member who reported on the filming was as follows.

The production team of the documentary tried to get interviews not only from TeSTAR, but also from several people to get the specific image they wanted to show.

And among them was this staff member.

- But unnie refused to talk because physical condition is a sensitive subject.

She said she would do it if they were given permission to do so, but the documentary team must have known that it was impossible due to YooJin's attitude.

That's why they persistently repeated questions to her or urged her to answer something by mistake.

It must have been quite stressful, but it was not an environment to ask for help, so she put up with it.

- But seeing that it didn't work on her... some people started to be sarcastic and threatening.

Cha YooJin witnessed it and went to help her right away.

- She said he was very firm.

Also, due to the nature of her job, there were always bastards doing stupid things, that's why she recorded. And that incident was also recorded.

TN: She must be a physical therapist or rheumatologist, but because she did massage as part of treatment, there is never a shortage of perverts who cross the line, so she would record so she would have evidence in the face of sexual harassment cases.

- She said she is very grateful to him, so after deep thought... she decided to do this.

"... Since we are in an industry that is overly sensitive to filming, she was very worried as she might be in trouble if she revealed it."

Still, she was moved by YooJin's action, and said that she could not continue to watch the current situation, so she finally reported it.

I crossed my arms.

- ...That's what she said.

- Oh, I remember!

YooJin replied cheerfully.

- Do you remember?

- Yes! The cameraman scared the staff. She said no, but he didn't listen! So I stopped him! I told him... Agh! Kim RaeBin, are you crazy?!

- If that happened, you should have told me before!

No one stopped Kim RaeBin from hitting Cha YooJin. Then YooJin started complaining that it was unfair.

- Wait, wait a minute! Now you all believe in me because she said that? That's a different issue than the fact that I blocked the camera!

Innocent little boy.

- It's okay if we make it the same issue.

- What??

- Just watch.

I gathered all the members and called the company. The staff recording had already been secured.

*   *   *

It had been five days after Cha YooJin's video was leaked.

On the Internet, Cha YooJin had already been beaten and smashed.

And after chewing so much controversy to the point of running out of sweetness, people sought for additional pleasure.

It was about the source of the video.

- It was obviously leaked by someone on staff hahaha.
└ I believe that too. It looks like he revealed it to spite Cha YooJin.
- Ya, I feel sorry for the person who suffered so much abuse of power that he decided to leak it despite receiving a lawsuit for it
- This is a typical abuse of power controversy that must have hit the agency. They must not have imagined that Cha YooJin would be like this, tsk, tsk.

TN: ㅉㅉ = 쯧쯧 = "Tsk, tsk" (onomatopoeia of tongue clicking) or SMH (Shake my head), expressions made when disapproving of something or being disappointed in something.

Moreover, since the agency had not yet responded, people saw this silence as a confirmation of that fact.

- They keep their mouths shut because they have nothing to say hahaha.
- They don't answer because they can't deny it
- I'd rather they say it's an edited video, tsk, tsk.

The ambiguous defense publications made by the officials who worked with us had too weak an impact compared to the video, which was short but intense.

And when the Cha YooJin controversy was about to be fixed as real without further discussion...

— I believe this is related to the Cha YooJin incident (Link).

Only then did an article appear.

However, the focus of the topic was not Cha YooJin.

[Controversy over TeSTAR documentary filming... Concert staff recording released].

[Another video? Reconstruction of the video shot by the TeSTAR documentary production team]

It was an accusation against the production team of the TeSTAR documentary.

Although it was a type of content famous for violating the privacy of celebrities, it was released in the media because it implicitly perceived the reality of the content.

========================

[(Exclusive) The reason why TeSTAR concert staff reported the recording... "The broadcast created a monster."]

In January 202X, TeSTAR launched a world tour and a documentary was filmed showing the behind-the-scenes of the tour. (Photo)

TeSTAR members in the documentary were serious and sincere, but was the filming process of this documentary sincere?

Not long ago, a recording of a staff member was reported by email.

(...)
========================

The article told how coercive the production team was in filming the documentary. It also clearly showed how rude it was to the staff who did not expect such treatment.

=======================

Production team: Don't you understand what I mean? Why don't you answer?

Staff A: ....

Production team: Something good or bad, you don't say anything. That's really uncooperative. If the filming doesn't go well, it will be OO-ssi's fault, you know that well, don't you?

========================

And in the second half, he revealed his true colors.

It was a combination of Cha YooJin's video and the staff's recording of the same moment. The original video didn't make it come to that, but putting it together with the recording made it look like that.

========================

Production team: Can't you hear me? This...

Cha YooJin: (Runs and presses the camera) Stop!

========================

It was the magic of editing.

However, even the production team couldn't prove that this was an invention.

Because the footage shows the actual circumstances, while the short video of the documentary filming does not.

Moreover, instead of mentioning Cha YooJin more, the article completely kept the tone of "it is excessive to call it abuse of power when the artist ran to stop him".

And for it to be seen as an article of accusation instead of defense.....

========================

The reporter confirmed that the production team was originally an entertainment production team, not a documentary production team.

It was the team in charge of the production of the "Idolo Corporation 2" program.....

========================

And finally, it made the message clear, revealing that they were from Idol Corporation 2, which was ruined by overstimulation and irrationality.

That indicated that these guys are the ones who will bully people to get enough content filmed.

"There's enough reason to insult that production team."

The article was like a sniper.

It was like a certain person's strong will to strike back at those who threw a bomb at Cha YooJin.

- It was the production crew of Icorpo 2, how crazy ;;;;
- Sht, it's creepy

And the will worked.
