Ye

Debut or Die - 270

The atmosphere in the individual TeSTAR fandom was shattered.

To be honest, a beautiful solution won't magically work in this situation.

Do you hope that the idea of "Fans will start to get along as they will feel solidarity because the members are on good terms?" will work? It's a vain hope.

Liking the same target may be a good start, but at the end of the day, personal experience is the most important thing.

In that sense, the Cha YooJin controversy was like experiencing firsthand how the unspoken trust that had barely been built after the end of Icorpo was destroyed.

"But we can't openly show that we have to make it up to the YooJin fandom."

That would make their fans feel better, but individual fandoms that were initially attacked by malicious YooJin fans will explode with fury.

- Honestly, Cha YooJin didn't do anything right. Why should we patronize his malicious dogs?
- I'm tired... I'm so sick of it that I'm going crazy with anger

They will surely make such comments.

In the end, we must not give the feeling of having "won" to any side.

- ... It is difficult.

I've come up with several methods, but it's hard to set standards in a balanced way, so it's tricky to choose one.

"I'll have to collect more examples."

I tried to get on the Internet, but stopped myself.

"... I'd better ask the guys."

Even if I came up with a method, I would need the group's consent to use it. It would be easier to proceed with their thoughts in mind.

I decided to ask the members about the situation.

If I explained the situation in detail, I might have distorted hopes like, "Our fans will eventually get along!"

- So, if there was a working group where some members are angry at each other, do you think they would eventually get along?

- Yes.

Keun SeJin shrugged his shoulders.

- They're just people working together~ You don't need to think too much about that. They just need to look good in their work.

That's true.

That sounds like bullshit, but the answer is to be clear about a purpose. The problem is that fandom members are not in a job, and are very weak to coercion.

The atmosphere in our fandom is so.... There are very likely to be people who are about to leave soon.

"The answer is that it will be difficult to maintain the status quo."

- Why all of a sudden MoonDae MoonDae  is asking that, are there any groups with members who are getting along badly?

- No, I just thought about it.

Anyway, explaining it to this guy in detail will only cause me stress, so we'll talk about that after sorting out the other ideas. I asked the same question to another guy.

And again I lost.

- I-I don't know. Uh... You'd have to listen to their opinions and respect each other....

- ...

I moved on to Kim RaeBin.

- ... How would they get along?

- Yes.

Bae Sejin, instead of answering, asked me with suspicious eyes.

- Are you asking me that?

- ...

You mean he has no confidence in his social skills. Let's move on to another one.

Ryu CheongWoo, who was sitting next to him, replied as if he had nothing to worry about.

- If they work and go through a difficult time together, they would become close quickly.

- ... Hmm.

That's a bit ...

"What are people who have suffered enough already supposed to do?"

Of course, CheongWoo replied without knowing what it was all about.

And he adds an explanation of his own with a bit of an awkward face.

- Oh, I'm not saying that they have to suffer unconditionally... If they overcome the same obstacles together to get a reward, they will become friends. That's what I wanted to say.

- Ah.

It seemed to be his own experience as an athlete.

"That's true."

Obstacles and rewards.

I decided to keep this in mind and move on.

And then, I heard something similar to what CheongWoo said, but it sounded better.

- Me! I know! Do something fun together! Like, sports!

- Sports.

- Yes! Let them run and play together. If they win, they'll be friends!

That's a useful idea.

"Certainly... Aren't fan activities similar to sports?"

In that there are rules, victories and defeats are divided, and there is an emotional sense of accomplishment.

TN: For example, in order to make a group popular so that their songs can win at music shows or get awards at annual award ceremonies, fans plan goals for stream, purchases, advertising, etc. And in every comeback their goal is to beat their previous records.

If I had to say one difference, it would be that the sense of immersion is less than playing a sport.

But it seems to be a very good point, so I asked one more time.

- What if they run together, but their hands and feet don't match and they fight more? Or if they act selfishly to score, don't pass the ball and the opponent gets it?

- Hmm... They'll need someone to cheer them on!

Cha YooJin answered without hesitation.

- You know, if that were to happen, they would feel ashamed of what they did. If they focus more on the game after that and win, then they'll have no choice but to reflect and become friends!

- Hmm, yes.

In the end, that's what it means.

If they can't work it out on their own, an authorized third party must step in.

But TeSTAR can't do that.

"We can't teach the fans."

It sounds as strange as a company trying to teach something to its customers. That would be ridiculous. I can already see myself getting hit by a headwind.

So, what's left is...appeal?

"Should I think they would be moved and listen to our request?"

I frowned at the thought solution.

...That doesn't feel good. It's too short and simple.

- Mo-MoonDae-ya?

- Yes?

When I turned my head, Seon AhHyun was hesitating without entering the kitchen. I think it's because he was blocking the way.

That's good.

- Can I ask you a question?
- O-of course!

I moved out of the way and asked AhHyun the same question once again.

- What do you think should be done for a group, which has two members who have annoyed each other, to perform well?

- W-what?

AhHyun looked puzzled.

YooJin was looking at him with interest.

- Hmmm...

AhHyun seemed to be in agony as he thought deeply about it until he gave an unexpected answer.

- I-I think that... it would be difficult.

- ¡...!

It was simply "impossible".

- Because there must be a reason... for the relationship to be bad. I-I think it would be difficult... for them to get along well.

It was the most realistic and sober answer.

- O-of course, other people might come up with a good idea, but... I think it would be like this.

- ... Okay.

I nodded my head.

AhHyun smiled awkwardly and YooJin raised his hand firmly.

- But I like my way!

- Ah, w-what way...?

I let the two speak and thought.

"I've collected all the answers, and based on them..."

I came to a conclusion.

"It's impossible for us to completely relieve those bad emotions right away."

AhHyun was right.

This is not something that will be resolved quickly no matter how much TeSTAR thinks about doing something.

So, let's put aside vague words like "reconciliation" and "relationship restoration'' and get back to basics.

What gets people moving?

"Gains."

Victory, reward, achievement, joy. The process is justified if you get those things in the end.

I remembered CheongWoo's words.

- If they overcome the same obstacles together to get a reward, they will become friends.

In the end, the joy of the result makes the "team members", who were together in the process, see each other in a positive way.

And if we work using the same principle....

"Each member must show the advantages of belonging to TeSTAR."

That when the seven of us are together, they immediately feel that we are the best, the most popular, a top level group.

So that they can instinctively know that it is most beneficial for each one to stay within this group.

It should be deeply engraved with the knowledge that instead of stressing because of other individual fandoms they don't want to see, they should enjoy seeing all TeSTAR members together.

"We have to give reasons."

The emotional part just steps in to help this process go more smoothly.

"The guys are close to each other and work very hard together...that's why the group called TeSTAR seems precious to me."

Instead of explicitly weighing gains and losses, that would help fans cite emotional and human reasons.

But for the atmosphere of fandom to seem to have calmed down, pretending not to win and being moved by the warm and passionate atmosphere?

- They'll need someone to cheer them on!

In a sense, that's what YooJin said.

But we can't discipline our fans, so we have to go in a different direction.

"So what you have to do is..."

Show that TeSTAR really values the group itself and attaches great meaning to it, beyond the fact that TeSTAR is working hard as an idol group.

Come to think of it, if we were to appeal that directly, the reaction would be cold.

"You don't have to mention it, but you have to make them feel it deeply."

After laying the groundwork, how do we keep TeSTAR's mulberry tree from getting cold?

- Hmm.

- ... After a team battle, it'll work out! Why do you think there are so many sports-based movies?

- Su-suppose it could be like that...!

After seeing YooJin talking enthusiastically to AhHyun, who was being persuaded, I laughed and walked out of the kitchen.

- Where are you going, hyung?!

- To clean up.

I'm going to organize.

There are many things to discuss for content, but among them was one priority.

"I should ask them to contact W Live."

First of all, we need to reset the format of the encore concert.


*   *   *

After a successful dome tour in Japan, TeSTAR will hold an encore concert in Korea!

Of course, it was good news for everyone.

- Finally, it's worth living
- Please let me get a seat
- Are you going to hold a concert in Korea again right now like this? I don't know why T1 can't work.

And this time, the next good news was waiting for them.

As soon as the ticket sale ended, W Live posted a notice.

[Couldn't get a ticket to attend TeSTAR's concert? Don't worry! Live broadcast on W Live: OPEN♡]

There would be a live broadcast of the concert. It was intended to draw as many people as possible in front of the stage, but those who didn't get tickets were relieved anyway.

- Hul, I think they will do so because of the good response they received during the donation concert. I'm so happy hahaha.
- Huuh, I failed to buy a ticket, but this relieves me...ㅠㅠ

- Hmph.

Kim RaeBin's fan snorted after reading the post.

"They didn't have to do a broadcast!"

There was a reason for this. this was because she confidently managed to buy a ticket to stand at this concert!

TN: She got a ticket in an area in front of the stage, where there is no seating.

That's why she was now at the concert venue and, while waiting for it to start, she was taking a look at the vintage items.

"Hmm, the atmosphere is good."

She put the phone down and looked around.

For a while, she felt that the atmosphere of individual fans was like walking on a thin piece of ice, but the atmosphere outside of the internet was harmonious and pleasant.

"Do they only live in the online world?"

Among the people waiting in anticipation for the concert to start, she clicked her tongue, but soon nodded at his question as she read the comments on a post about the concert site that was being shared on the networks.

- I just saw someone offer a wolf shaped cookie to CheongWoo, but he ignored it. I can't believe I'm a fan of that guy, it's ridiculous hahahahaha

It was a terribly shared comment.

"They shouldn't make it so obvious."

It was a disaster. The RaeBin fan decided to log out of her social media account and watch the concert. Otherwise, it looked like she would step in and say something.

"I will just focus on watching Kim RaeBin and Park MoonDae."

All that was left to do was to see them.

She waited for the concert on the left side of the stage, which she had carefully chosen based on her last experience.

Anyway, her heart pounded at the reality of seeing her idols that she hadn't seen in a long time.

And a little later.

- Hello Seoul~!

- WAAAAAAAAH!!!

The performance began with explosive momentum.

The concert, which started with the last released song called "Drill", coincided with the start of the last concert held in Seoul at the start of the tour and quickly engrossed the audience.

"The next song will be Haengcha!!!"

Because it was an encore concert, there were few changes in the composition from the last Seoul concert, but knowing the entire setlist also worked as an advantage.

Because it was fun that it met the expectations.

Above all, the TeSTAR concert had a great power that was only felt in front of the stage, so the concentration and pleasure was different even though it looked the same as on the screen.

You're stinging me
Eat all you want!

Main, secondary and individual songs.

- WAAAAAH!!!

All the songs had her screaming until she ran out of voice.

The concert, which was so skillfully controlled and conducted, passed in a flash and came to an end.

- Bye bye~

The stage lights dimmed and returned to the default state.

- Huuh!

Obviously it wasn't the actual end. I already knew that they would soon do three or four more songs in the encore.

Kim RaeBin's fan wiped the sweat off her forehead.

She had said so many times that the guys were so cute that she felt she would soon have a Gestalt breakdown!

TN: "게슈탈트 붕괴" (Gestalt Collapse) is slang created by Japanese netizens. Basically it is believing/thinking/saying so much about something that they then temporarily lose track of what their meaning is. In this case, the fan would soon feel that she doesn't know what "being handsome" means.

So she calmly thought about the next song.

"Will the first song of the encore be a medley of songs?"

During the tour, the encore included a local song, but originally started with a short arrangement that mixed songs the guys performed during the Icorpo era.

"They'll probably go with that, yeah."

Kim RaeBin's fan made her prediction and looked at the people singing the song for the fans.

Due to the atmosphere these days, if they sang Icorpo's songs, it would not bring back good memories, but to the brutal relationship of the individual fandoms back then.

"I don't know. I think we're going to curse each other."

She groaned and tried to forget that, thinking that she didn't care what they played now as long as they ended up with a good outcome.

- I feel really good today ~ I think something good will happen~.

Meanwhile, people were singing the first song that TeSTAR dedicated to the fans, waiting for the encore....

It was a national rule to sing it, but after watching the social media before, it seemed that a quarter of them hated each other, so it had a strange feeling.

Although it wasn't untrue that they all looked happy.

"I guess it's the effect of the concert."

Even she, with some insecurity, ended up singing. She was vicariously experiencing the feelings of all the fans in the group.

"Come on out, guys!"

At that moment, the sound and lighting returned to the stage.

- AAAAAAAAH!

Amidst the cheers, the VCR that appeared before the encore?

- What?

It didn't come out.

The sound coming from the giant electronic screen was not the classic encore start, but a soft, warm melody of an acoustic guitar.

The melody of the fan song that the audience had just sung, "You are the Magic".

And the one who was seen playing that melody on the screen... was Kim RaeBin.

- Uwaah...?

However, Kim RaeBin's outfit was unusual.

He was wearing a pair of sleeping pants and a T-shirt.

It was a very comfortable pajama and he even wore his hair up in a ponytail.

- Huh?

And looking at it again, the video didn't feel like a professional filming, it was like the recording made by a phone camera with a filter.

It felt like a very private video.

[Hmm, hmmmm~]

Next to Kim RaeBin was Cha YooJin, lying down and humming the song, and Bae Sejin, who was sitting on the sofa, choosing food with a serious expression.

Park MoonDae, who was bringing drinks, and Lee SeJin, who waved at the camera while looking for a towel to dry himself after washing.

[Hello~ What are you filming?]
[It's just a memorial.]

Ryu CheongWoo's laughter was heard. He turned the camera around as if he was filming himself and turned it off.

- Oh.

Then, on a black screen, subtitles appeared at the top.

[TeSTAR Documentary]

[Producers: Ryu CheongWoo, Bae Sejin, Seon AhHyun, Lee SeJin, Park MoonDae, Cha YooJin, Kim RaeBin]

[Sponsor: Ryu CheongWoo! ← Important]

Instead of a ruined documentary, this was a behind-the-scenes tour of TeSTAR made by mixing photos and videos taken while preparing for the concert.
