Chapter 290

This week's music program special was something we've participated in several times before.

'KPOP group concert.'

Tnet has been holding a worldwide concert called "TaKon" every six months.

Well, it's a common tyranny of a broadcaster that doesn't support the infrastructure properly while live streaming the event in dozens of countries, but anyway, on the outside, it looked like a brilliant proposal.

TN: "TaKon" is a reference to "KCON", which is an annual K-pop festival held mainly in the United States and Japan (it is also held in several countries worldwide), organized by Powerhouse Live, Mnet Media, CJ E&M, and Koreaboo. Due to the pandemic, an online format called KCON:TACT was created, and it is now possible to attend concerts in person or buy tickets to watch them online in live broadcasts.

This time they got VTIC to participate, so they wanted to ambitiously try, so they split the program into two days and even organized the first and the second part.

As for TeSTAR...Isn't it obvious?

We're Tnet's son, so we had to appear on both days.

But now, the children of the broadcasting station are not one, but two.

"Good morning, sunbae-nims!"

On the first day, we met the group that debuted in the recent Icorpo season at the rehearsal site. We learned that they will be covering a song of ours.

Gold 2's smiling face can be seen among the people who waved vigorously.

I know he debuted taking 1st place dramatically with a slight difference between scores. Still, it's enough to shut someone else's mouth.

"Sunbae-nim, please give me a lot of guidance~."

"Aigo, I look forward to your kind cooperation~"

He still gets along very well with Keun SeJin.

Although he's not the person to watch out for.

It's the guy who stood silently while we all greeted each other.

"..."

Chae SeoDam was in the debut group.

The guy who messed with Seon AhHyun when he was in school and couldn't get rid of that habit in Icorpo and then blew up his controversy that he played with other people.

'It's a tough thread.'

TN: When a yarn comes out of fabric or is a different color than what you want, you tend to cut it to make the fabric look perfect and neat, but in this case, it is not possible as it is "hard" and resists cutting. MoonDae figuratively thinks this.

Surprisingly, in the second half of "Idol Corporation - Reincorporated!," the bastard debuted in tenth place with the correction of "Desperate to try to survive" which he received thanks to editing.

It was only then that the explanation that "it's all a misunderstanding" came out well, and it was exquisitely combined to capture the hearts of ordinary viewers...

- The liar said it's a misunderstanding and now he's in the debut group...This infuriates me so much.

- Is it possible that there is someone who goes on romantic dates and at the same time is really desperate to be an idol?

- Chae SeoDam really is horribly bad hahaha I don't accept the forced narrative that the PD chose.

Well, for that reason it seems that the debut group's fans themselves are criticizing it quite a bit.

'Still, debuting is definitely a win.'

If he had been eliminated due to the controversy, his chances of making it to the top would be different.

I don't know if it was a thread of fate or coincidence, but it's no use anyway.

Since AhHyun doesn't even care anymore.

"Guys, fighting...! We'll cheer you on!"

"Thank you so much!"

We're just cheering for the other guys.

Since that person is in this group, we treat this bastard as someone who doesn't exist.

Also, thanks to the defeat of Chae SeoDam, who was previously in 1st place, the support of this season weakened, so the debut group this time...hmm, should be good at producing.

'What about the CEO?'

He's not too worried.

"Don't be too nervous, I hope they have a good performance."

"Yes!"

So all I was considering at this point is the benefits we could get from this not-so-welcome encounter.

'It has to be something I can use them in.'

Make it a talking point.

"See you next time!"

As soon as they walked away after saying goodbye, Keun SeJin spoke to me in a low voice.

"Did you change places with them?"

"Yes."

The time at which our performance would be held on the first day had already been set.

"TeSTAR, upstairs!"

"Yes~"

As I went up to the stage to rehearse, the morning air blew into my nose.

It was an outdoor stage.

Originally, the outdoor performance hall where the Icorpo group's debut would be held was renamed in consideration of "remembering the past."

TN: In the schedule of the event, the name of TeSTAR's debut hoobae group was listed to come out on the outdoor stage at the said time; however, TeSTAR changed it with their stage under the excuse that it would be more convenient for the hoobae group to do their cover in an environment that would be more reminiscent of the original performance of theirs.

'Thank you very much.'

Thanks to this, the story is going to go well.

I remembered the weather forecast I checked a few days ago.

On the day of the performance, the probability of precipitation was 70%.

* * *

"F*CK YOU, BASTARDS!"

"AH, SHUT UP!!!"

Kim RaeBin's fan got up from her seat without responding to her younger brother's words. She did so after hitting the keyboard she had been using.

POK!

It was the result of a war of words with VTIC fans...no, it was the result of a war of finger typing.

'They are preoccupied trying to survive overseas, but their power is shaking!!!'

Their fighting power, which has continued since the donation concert, was steadily increasing. But it was time for her to calm down a bit.

"Ya, are you going to watch this?"

"Yes. Move along."

Without urging him to change his language to call her "noona," she pushed her younger brother and sat down on the sofa.

TaKon was being broadcast live on television.

[NEXT STAGE]

[TeSTAR]

She doesn't know how many previews they had made that such a group would soon be performing, but it must have been time for it to come out. The show was already coming to an end.

And indeed, the TeSTAR VCR played on the screen.

"Great...?"

However, she was speechless when the stage was caught on camera from afar.

It was absurd.

"...What is this?"

"What?"

Why?

'Why are the guys standing on the stage outdoors?'

Since TaKon is broadcast live, it alternates between two stages for quick maintenance of the concert.

And this time, the stage was divided into outdoor and indoor due to the structure of the concert hall.

So what normally happens?

They perform on the stages in order of seniority, and the most popular group performs on the indoor stage even if their time since their debut is shorter.

So, obviously, you'd think TeSTAR would be on the indoor stage...

But these guys were standing on the outdoor stage.

On a rainy night!

'Shit, they're treating them bad!'

She had complained before that TeSTAR was the only top-tier band to have been held hostage to perform on the two consecutive days of the concert, but after seeing this, she couldn't help but feel feverish in her head.

For reference, there was an almost hellish silence on social media overflowing with fans who had already witnessed the group that had just debuted in Icorpo perform on an indoor stage.

Rather, she didn't know because she had been fighting with VTIC fans.

Because she was pissed off enough as it was!

...But the moment she focused closely on TeSTAR, Kim RaeBin's fan forgot her anger.

'Who doesn't know that these idols are really cool?'

TeSTAR had come out totally flawless.

'Kim RaeBin's silver robe is crazy.'

TN: "로브 just means 'robe' or 'tunic', but it's like a loose robe or kimono.

Whether they were wearing the outfit they wore in the music video, the appearance of wearing colorful cardigan robes over white shirts that were damp...

"...?"

Did water...drip on their heads?

'Where's the cover?'

Even if there was an outdoor stage, they had to provide something to cover them.

No, the weather forecast said it would rain, so they had prepared a cover for the previous performances other groups had done so far.

But suddenly, there was none.

'No wonder, it's raining so hard you can see water in their eyes...!'

"These crazy people...!"

She almost let out an expletive, but the performance began in earnest before that, so she reflexively concentrated on it.

As the rhythmic soothing song began, TeSTAR jumped on his feet.

Take your STAR

On the day the stars fall

A refreshing sound flowed.

The TeSTAR members didn't seem to care if they were wet or not.

No, rather, a new taste was felt as the raindrops hit.

'Oh?'

In the evening, as the lights grew brighter, the light reflected off the water and fell on feet and arms, making accessories and robes glow.

Hwiik.

Perhaps thanks to the choreography, which has many movements that jump or twist arms and legs, splashing water seems to be part of the performance.

And with every step they took, water droplets splashed like ornaments.

And they...they were barefoot.

'...!'

Their long legs...No, more than that...

'Are they over a puddle of water?'

I didn't know if it was because they had removed the cover that had been up until the previous performance, but there was quite a bit of water on the ground.

'It's too dangerous...'

Although, perhaps thanks to the fact that they were barefoot, none of the members slipped.

Instead, the performance unfolded as neatly and pleasantly as it usually did on dry ground.

No, it even looked better.

'What...'

Every time they took a barefoot step, they would clench their toes and then release them, causing rings of water to jump up next to them.

In particular, when entering the chorus, it is excellent to do according to the steps of the on-point choreography.

We fly so far

The water gushed upwards. As the robes flapped, water droplets splashed again.

That attracted attention.

It was such a spectacular performance that it surpassed the original freshness.

The wet attire and wet hair gave the impression that it was a well-planned underwater performance.

'Ah.'

As if struck by a bolt of lightning, she noticed.

The colors of the robes and the stones of the decorative accessories they wore on their limbs...they were the colors of the mermaid fins she had seen in the music video.

It was a performance in which they wore mermaid symbols under flowing water.

'Did they do this on purpose?'

For that concept, did they plan to do the performance barefoot on a rainy day? Is that why they removed the cover?

That was absurd. Nevertheless, TeSTAR on TV was so impressive that question marks and exclamation points flooded her head.

Beyond the horizon, until the end of the island.

Today is going to shine

With the end approaching, Seon AhHyun's acrobatics drew a vertical parabola of water droplets.

Thanks to the supporting members, instead of looking nervous, he ended up in awe. It was a choreography that caught their full attention.

And at the end, they hummed and were supposed to sit on the floor...but instead, they put their arms around each other's shoulders and twirled around.

Umm

And they looked up at the rainy sky until the base rhythm ended.

Thus ended the performance.

"..."

[Ttudutturu~ The soup is excellent!]

The image on the screen changed to a commercial. Still, Kim RaeBin's fan continued to sit motionless on the couch.

Her younger brother tapped her thigh with his foot.

"Yeah, it was good, wasn't it?"

"..."

It was very good and very unexpected.

'No, obviously it was very good, but I couldn't rate it on that level alone...'

'I mean, it was so impressive...'

"Ah, really!"

Kim RaeBin's fan immediately took to social media.

She had to find out what the heck was going on!

* * *

"Euu!"

"Cha YooJin! Are your feet ok?"

"OK! They're fine!"

Cha YooJin tore off the transparent protector that had protrusions attached to his feet.

Even if he had received help from the staff, it would still have burned, so he took them off with his bare hands.

What is this? It's an anti-slip device made of synthetic rubber material.

'Running barefoot on that marble stage floor would have been suicide.'

It was even before the comeback that I placed this custom order. I shrugged and removed what was on my feet.

"A-aren't you hurt...?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

Tearing off the adhesive made it sting a little, but there shouldn't be any after-effects.

We risked more than that.

"I know. We did a great job!"

"Oh, really? I think so too, YooJin-ssi~"

"Hehe."

"I hope the viewers enjoyed it and their hearts are filled with satisfaction!"

"Yes, it must have been good."

Bae Sejin said firmly. Well, he's the one who had the hardest time making it because of the difference in his stats, so he has the right to say that.

I smiled and nodded my head.

"That's right."

Let's go see it.

As soon as I got back to the waiting room, I covered myself with a towel and went online.

The communities...they already gave their answers.

[Idols who have just performed in the heavy rain].

[Legendary performance in the TaKon]

[Dangerous VS Great, how is TeSTAR's performance?]

[Sensational performance by TeSTAR]

It's crazy.

It's probably the same on social media, but it was just as I expected.

Articles were raining down like crazy, and "heavy rain" and "what did TeSTAR do" were showing up as trends.

- AAAARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?

- How am I supposed to take this?

- Apart from anything else, our kids are really geniuses;;

- I don't know if I saw wrong or not, but this performance seemed much better than the usual performance they do.

No, that is correct. You sure did see right.

'It's a choreography made for involving water in the first place.'

Specifically, the choreography was made by simulating the performance on a stage filled with ankle-deep water.

We wanted it to highlight the special features of the album, such as the concept of summer and sea.

'We had planned it for a concert.'

We just used it here.

And obviously, if you add the factor that it was well-planned, it's bound to be more fun.

'I knew it was going to cause reactions.'

I assumed this would definitely work after 2 or 3 weeks of our promotions had passed and the rumors had slowly died down.

Plus, we added elements that would make it more impactful.

'Like this situation.'

The comments will continue to come up because it is not known if this is a plan or unforeseen due to weather conditions.

It has already started.

- Waah, they were very good at dealing with the situation.

- It was probably planned

- If it had been planned, there would have been a bunch of commercials out by now, that's why I think they arranged the situation by accident haha.

- Why would TeSTAR go on stage outdoors in the first place? Of course, it's a special performance. I can't communicate with idiots

- Predicting the weather forecast and holding the performance in time for rain...isn't that too unreasonable a guess?

I hope they continue to talk about and spread the performance a lot.

'It would be appropriate for WeTube cyber wreckers to take the bait.'

TN: "Cyber wreckers" is the term by which YouTubers who create videos to talk about rumors, especially those that are more controversial, are called in South Korea.

I reviewed the video because it might cause controversy, and seeing how fast it was spreading I started talking to the company.

* * *

TeSTAR's performance in the pouring rain was trending by the end of the week amidst various speculations and admiration.

Many people knew about TeSTAR's activities due to the confrontation with VTIC and their songs that had become popular, so people became more interested in the performance and became enchanted by it at a frightening speed.

It's not just that the group performed well, but they could add their opinions to this unique situation!

In the end, the issue spilled over into safety issues and drew fire in various ways, but the official position was clearly announced in an article before the controversy officially came to light.

[What about TeSTAR's performance under heavy rain? "Not an accident, but a concession"]

[Exciting performance under the heavy rain in TaKon...A spontaneous set of nature]

It was explained that TeSTAR changed the stage on the rehearsal day in consideration of the stage for the first joint concert of their hoobae group of the same agency.

And after noticing the weather conditions, they changed the planned composition upon seeing this incident and even used the equipment taking safety into consideration.

The articles, which were thoroughly inspected by the agency, continued to come out as the main showbiz articles to publicize TeSTAR's performance.

It was pure truth, except for the change in the order of things.

And TeSTAR showed its enthusiasm by posting on social media about the slip-protection gear it was wearing at the time.

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

AhHyun used to wear this when he was doing ballet. It's so cool that we all copied it haha.

(Video)

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

- I thought Tnet was using the kids as a shield, but it was true!

- What the hell were they planning on showing at a concert? I'm definitely going this time! I'll get the tickets!

- ♡♡♡♡

- I've never seen idols be as sincere as they are before;

Because the clarification came out quickly, TeSTAR's authenticity was never compromised and by making the point that the situation was indeed unexpected, the group's positive image did not wane.

However, the video that had gone viral gained so much momentum that it was no longer clear when it would stop appearing in WeTube's most popular video rankings.

People praising, people criticizing, people making videos with great enthusiasm about this incident.

And even those taking up the dance challenge comparing the presence and absence of water.

They all contributed to the popularity and raised TeSTAR's music ranking.

Thanks to this, CheongRyu was able to organize easily.

"..."

He calculated that he would deliver the Korean domestic market to TeSTAR.

_______________


Final note

The reason why I thought that ATEEZ's "WAVE" was the main reference of "Promise" is precisely because of the steps they have in the choreography, especially at the end, in the climax, they move their legs so much that just imagining they were on a surface with water and dressed like TeSTAR in this special performance, they would splash water as it was narrated in this chapter.

I leave a stage mix for you to appreciate the steps of the choreography, whose point of the dance is also the expressions on their faces.
