< Chapter 300T-Holic. It is the name of the first group that firmly held the idol industry before VTIC came to power.In short,they are the symbol of idol groups of all generations."T-The first song that MoonDae sang was by that group, right?""Yes."'Party in Me,' which I sang at the Idol Corporation's ratings evaluation, was a song from the solo album of a member of this group.'They have spent several years promoting their solo activities.'Most of the contemporary idols already went their own way.However, all but one of them released an album together again.I casually watched T-Holic's music video, located at the bottom of WeTube's popular streaming videos, play automatically.The member who sang the song I covered appeared in the video's thumbnail.[T-Holic (티홀릭) - Come with me (Let's go) M/V]To be honest, there is no sophisticated taste, and the sensibility is the same as a few years ago."T-Holic sunbae-nims made a comeback~? Waah, it's been a long time. I did a lot of covers of them when I was in high school~"Lee SeJin, who was sitting in the back seat, brought his head closer and pretended to look.Thanks to that, he even spread interest in Cha YooJin, but..."Who? Hmm...I don't know them."Maybe because he was American, he wasn't very interested in an idol group that was popular more than 10 years ago.However, Kim RaeBin seems to have been surprised."It's T-Holic sunbae-nim...Don't you know them?""That's right!""It's not professional to actively work as an idol and not have prior knowledge on KPOP's history!""I know a lot of KPOP Songs! I just don't know their songs!"Well. When KPOP entered the US, everyone in T-Holic was in the military and had almost no group activities, so YooJin's argument is reasonable."I know their name! T-Holic sunbae-nim!""That's not good enough!"My ears are going to fall off.TN: Korean expression similar to "break the eardrums".These days, every time there is an issue, the reaction erupts into a chain reaction, resulting in a disastrous mess.I watched Bae Sejin, located on the opposite side, put on his headphones and huddle in a corner without expressing emotions.Since we have constant activities, no one has particular concerns or suspicious behaviors.As a result, there is a great response to such frivolous conversations.'We've already gotten used to each other.'I observed the boys holding each other's hair, so I interrupted the discussion and resolved the situation.We're actually fine.That was my final reflection for the day.However, T-Holic's comeback has had greater repercussions than expected.First of all, it was nostalgia.Simply put, it brought back memories.- There are so many songs of T-Holic- To be honest, the charms of the previous generation were better, the idols now seem to be factory dolls.- Oh, I've missed them so much. I remember when everyone was dancing to that song with Ugg boots, I was dancing with shoes ㅠㅠ.TN: "Ugg boots" are the boots made from sheepskin in Australia, but nowadays they have become popular all over the world with either real or synthetic fur.People in their 20s and 30s responded favorably to T-Holic, reminiscing about their childhood.As the group's album was released after a few years with the departure of only one member, it became a hot topic of nostalgia and admiration.The glorification and longing for their childhood were mixed, and those who hated T-Holic at the time also responded positively.'Of course, if the song is not good, the feelings will disappear like a typhoon in a teacup.'But here comes the next factor.Secondly, it's T-Holic's talent.These bastards...they are funny.- I almost threw up from laughing- I thought it would be crazy to fall, but why did they all fall together? Hahahaha- What the heck did they do in the military that they got funnier?- I'm not a fan, but by the time I figured it out, all the algorithms were suggesting T-Holic videos.From WeTube content reminiscent of K-pop of the past to TV shows.These guys hit the jackpot by appearing on variety shows. It was thanks to their abilities to maintain a good image without fear of being broken.They have a carefree sense.'That means they're not going anywhere.'Arguably, it's the exact opposite of VTIC's route, which tailors its exposure to each and every media.They greedily took over the content and built up their momentum.Usually, freshness and popularity diminishes over time, and the normal thing to do is to eat it in moderation until it drops or drops calmly, but there were some fortunate coincidences.Several scenes from the shows they were in became memes.- T-Holic doing Tray Karaoke is legendary.- Is it my fault?.swf- The people in the "Is it my fault?" meme are members of T-Holic.
TN: "Tray Karaoke" is a segment of the variety show "Happy Together" in which guests must take turns singing a nursery rhyme correctly. If any one of them gets it wrong, a metal tray falls on everyone's head.Eventually, they managed to appeal to the younger generation by becoming popular with the latest memes, rather than existing images as they became consumed and boring.And building on that momentum, they even created a WeTube channel that streams their own entertainment shows.[A new start on WeTube... Mania for wishing PPL │T-Holic's Show Business Ep.1].On the other hand, unlike the entertainment field, T-Holic's record output and musical performance were not huge.They were just trying to save face.In the current KPOP market, which has been affected by inflation, their sales were at the bottom of that of top-tier groups.As a result, fans of current idol groups were less likely to consider them as competitors.- Show Business is very good, it's a professional entertainment program hahaha.- I hope my kids will come out tooIt was classified in a different category from existing idol groups, but its content was consumed nonetheless.And in the end, thanks to all the support, T-Holic's entertainment show became a hit in a short time.That is a bad sign.* * *"..."I checked the ratings of T-Holic's show, which was even organized as a regular entertainment show on CVN after the great success it had on WeTube.Let's just say that the 1st episode did well as an opener, and the 2nd episode ...2nd episode: 5.8%
It was an impressive number. It was on the level of a prime-time entertainment show on CVN....'It's too much.'It went better than expected because there wasn't any drama or other entertainment program that was popular recently."Oh~ T-Holic sunbae-nims must be in a good mood."Keun SeJin, who was waiting for the next shot like me, shrugged his shoulders and intervened.I meekly affirmed."That's right."Of course, it didn't look like it would last long.'If things get better for them, there will be people who will try to eliminate their success in some way.'It's an interesting rumor to see a person who used to be successful end up failing. When their moment of glory gets caught in trouble, their momentum will stop in controversy.Even if that's not the case, the popularity of entertainment programs doesn't last that long.So the shelf life of this trend is...three or four months at most.'They're not even our competition.'For starters, everyone knows it's embarrassing to mention it in the same context when it comes to ratings.The current problem we have is another one.'We can't lose popularity in the second half of the year.'Although TeSTAR sold both the title song and the album well, neither was confirmed as the overwhelming top.'They would be VTIC and YoungRin.'Therefore, to win the Daesang in the current evaluation system, which is divided into music and albums, the image of "the trend" had to be solid.But all of a sudden, these guys are gaining popularity.'Anyway, these guys are also officially classified as idols.'In short, the most popular idol group at the moment is...T-Holic.'It's dangerous.'If it lowers our value as "current trend", which exists apart from ratings, it will damage TeSTAR's presence making our target hard hit.I muttered as I turned off the phone screen."We should work hard too.""Yes, shouldn't we?"Keun SeJin stated lightly.But seeing that he didn't say words like "We're already working hard, what are you talking about?" indicates that this guy has realized the situation."To achieve what we want at the end of the year, fighting~."Even those who don't know the details of the problem simply got motivated and promised to do their best."Yes! I'll talk more about that in entertainment programs...!""Since idols are all-round artists, I feel that just as we need musical activities, we also need to have various entertainment talents."In that sense, even if the members of this group can't see anything that their status windows show, they are good guys who can be utilized.They have a good mental condition.That means that even in such a successful situation, we are maintaining enough of a can-do spirit to consider several variables and make a rational decision.'Normally, people are attracted to things like this.'We are currently doing a photoshoot."Okay, I'll start right away~""Yes!"It wasn't a typical magazine photoshoot.Through a partnership with a magazine company, we are creating a special edition that uses only TeSTAR photos, interviews and advertisements from start to finish.The magazine, which consists of eight covers that include individual member photos and group photos, has already sold over 800,000 pre-orders."Oh my god, it's too cute~""Haha!"Even if they said nasty things to us during the shooting, none of us responded. Such is the unconditional treatment.'It's an environment that ruins people completely.'Especially if you're only 20 years old, it's perfect for ruining your social skills and manners.There's no penalty if you yell at someone you work with, but it's hard not to be rude and insincere when you're having a hard time in a situation where there's no coercion.The difference between physical strength and state of mind becomes extreme.'If you want to be an X, you can act like X.'However, these guys hold a tension that has nothing to do with their early debut."Once again~""Yes!"In order to have a group photo that can be used as a cover, we all gathered together dressed in T-shirts and jeans to have more photos taken.And after a short time to change and complement the concept, Bae Sejin murmured."...It reminds me of our debut.""I know. That's what your hair color was like back then.""I like red hair!"The concept of this photo shoot is our history from TeSTAR's debut to the present.It can be seen as a concept of a male idol group with the best song of the year.'It's been so long.'I looked back over the years with a strange feeling.I went through many unbelievable and absurd incidents, and when I think about it, I feel like I participated in Icorpo last year.And I think it wasn't that long ago when we filmed 'Magical Boy.'Just before filming resumed, I inadvertently remembered the compliment I had intentionally given Bae Sejin at that time."You are so good at filming before and now, hyung"."Ahem, you're doing very well too."And unlike back then, Bae Sejin accepted the compliment with gentleness and seriousness.'Yes, one thing has changed.'The mental distance has shrunk. Having experienced all sorts of things with us, he has built his confidence in his own way."...""Oh~ MoonDae-ssi's expression is so good!""Thank you so much."Well, now is not the time to fall into sentimentality.There are only a few steps left to reach the goal, but I have to clear the rocks that suddenly got in the way....So what would be the best way to do it?First, benchmarking entertainment programs would be stupid.'If we launch a reality show right now, we will be benchmarked.'There is no need to think about the results of luck and experience until regular entertainment programs are organized.Well, if we try to try something more complicated....'Hmm.'I pondered until the filming was over and came to a conclusion.'Let's use it the other way around.'To catch a tiger, you have to go to its den.* * *T-Holic's program is doing well.What that means is that now, T-Holic's popularity is subordinate to their entertainment program.And the popularity of the show can be leveraged by anyone who appears on it.In particular, if you are a guest, you can beat the host and become the main character of the show depending on the format.Especially if there are conversations about something new and not the usual T-Holic conversations.Especially if it's funny.'That's the best.'So, after discussion within the group, we analyzed the format of the T-Holic program and chose two people who would make the strongest impact.A completely personalized impact."I'm really looking forward to it!"Cha YooJin."It's the first time I've been selected to participate in an entertainment program among such a small number of people, so I'll do my best!"Kim RaeBin.And also...someone who could control these two people who have never been invited together to an entertainment program at the same time before."Okay."It's me.I brought Cha YooJin and Kim RaeBin to the filming set of 'T-Holic's Show Business'. >_________Final NoteI know the most appropriate would be "Business Show", but in the next chapter there is a shortening of the characters in hangul which reads as "Ssyobi" (ShoBu), so I decided to leave the translation of the name as the author did as the actual name in hangul is "쇼 비즈니스", which reads as "ssyo bijeunisseu", i.e. the Korean pronunciation of the name in English.
