Chapter 310

The TeSTAR concert started with a full underwater view of the concert hall.

And what happened was...a performance that the gamer who came to the concert with her friends was not expecting.

'Huh.'

Usually, when it comes to a singer or an idol, you have a usual expectation of their "concerts."

A stage showcasing a performance centered on the artist or group performing.

And after arranging and distributing hit songs and newer songs, it is usual for the order to be adjusted so that the tension of the performance would not drop.

And in fact, TeSTAR has performed this kind of concert so far, so her friends gave a similar explanation.

[There are a lot of songs that you know too, so it will be fun haha]

[That's right. and they're all really cute and good, so they're worth the cost of the ticket! ㅠㅠ It would be a waste to cancel!]

But not now.

This concert had a story instead.

Slowly immersing myself

in the time of the night

from which I don't want to escape

Across the dry ice, an elegant modern dance choreography unfolds as if floating on the sea.

'Midnight, and Next,' arranged in a perfect orchestra, was chosen as the first song.

It was a very unique choice.

This is because, for idols with many hit songs, it is common to discard the initial songs from their debut era as they have performed them recurrently, and at best, they are presented in a medley.

However, TeSTAR dared to use this arranged song.

Since it is the starting point of the narrative that will be shown in this concert.

Your dreams and songs,

forget it all, it's already midnight

Your Midnight

The boys, who have fallen into the sea, are trapped in the past, inside a dream.

The clock mechanism turned backward, and the members sank into the sea and experienced the past.

At the same time as the members lay lying in the depths of the sea, a chime rang, indicating the end of 'Midnight, and Next.'

Daeng–

And the backdrop of the stage naturally becomes a classroom.

As if in a dream, the lighting changed and became clear.

The song that followed was 'High Five,' a bright and cheerful rock tune sung by a joyful youth!

After going through the interlude where the members got up from the floor and were a little bewildered, they ran around the stage with a smile and danced.

My feet are moving

Faster, farther!

The boys, who have returned to the past, pursue their dreams, fall in love, meet their enemies, and develop the power to win.

In each of these contexts, TeSTAR's songs were passed one by one.

Of course, since TeSTAR is an idol group, the story was not as explicit as a real musical or opera.

However, you could fully understand the context through the lyrics, the atmosphere, and the VCR that appeared from time to time.

Even more so for those who didn't have much experience with TeSTAR!

They created...these songs to do all this?'

The gamer was confused.

The fans went along smoothly because the song was so familiar, but in fact, the members put expressions tailored to the story between each song to stand out.

And the gamer accepted all that information at the same pace as the multiple songs.

Confusion, joy, tension, alertness...

Because their overflowing talent and expressiveness were unique, the gamer immersed herself in unfamiliar songs in an instant.

The protagonists on stage, who grew up through the realization of love, performed a powerful performance as if showing their power.

Bite it, break it, enjoy it.

Now Spring out!

The narration evokes a three-dimensional effect on stage.

Eventually, when the concert-style performance with guns and dancers exploded, she was clapping and cheering almost unconsciously at the end of the performance!

"Huk."

It wasn't that she was consciously cheering for the idol concert, but she was reflexively reacting, wasn't she?

She was dumbfounded wondering what kind of music show she had come to see, but there was no need to.

TeSTAR was more sincere.

The high notes, volume, and violent choreography combined to create an intense finale of 'Spring Out,' and the lights flickered at the end.

Heartbroken screams could be heard from the fans for the thrilling epic climax.

But in an instant, it all stopped as if it had been washed away.

"...!"

After the song ended in a splendid climax...it was time for the break.

~Intermission~

Act 2 will begin soon.

They even kept the intermission format alive.

As if they were asking the audience to think about what they saw to raise expectations.

"..."

Yahoo!

The gamer opened her mouth while watching the VCR, in which the members were running around in animal pajamas, like some kind of advertising commercial.

She was not the only one.

When the lights came up and the atmosphere relaxed because it was intermission, fans began to freak out at the unspoken permission that seemed to be a "time out."

"Oh, ooh, oooh..."

"What is this?"

There were lots of people holding their phones and frantically typing things.

And a message also came through to the gamer.

[Greatgeniusesgreatgeniusesgreat genussgrtgeniugreatgenuses]

[(Emoticon falling to the ground)]

It was her two friends.

When she looked at the seats they were both sitting in, it looked like they were talking to her over Kakaotalk with their eyes completely fixed on the VCR.

'Hoo.'

She felt a little scared.

But she also understood a little.

'They're doing it so people who don't know anything like me can enjoy it.'

This kind of concert was worth seeing at least once. She admitted internally that she understood the reason for being able to do it.

It was TeSTAR's first time performing like this and she waited for the second act feeling her heart racing faster with excitement unlike before, not even realizing that social media was in an uproar over this.

'Will the fight story continue?'

She was so used to the narrative of the protagonists of the games that it couldn't be more fun to add dancing and colorful songs to it!

Soon, the show resumed with a lively announcement.

"Dear audience, you were surely surprised and are wondering what these guys have in mind to do this kind of performance, right? Aren't you curious?"

It was Lee SeJin.

The audience laughs out loud and reacts to those witty remarks.

"Still, you will soon see what will happen with TeSTAR. Thus, the second act begins now."

The lights went out.

And a light orchestral melody flowed and people's hearts filled with anticipation as the performers cut the tempo appropriately.

It was then that the gamer realized she was holding a lightstick with central control.

What makes people live?

The theme of this stage is the pursuit of the enemy.

The effect of the running light, which started on the stage, continued to the lightsticks, drawing a huge parabolic line extending to the audience.

They had chosen to use the lightsticks as an extension of the atmosphere and story on stage.

'Uwaaah!'

The gamer was easily impressed.

'They did it to make the audience feel like they're also participating in the performance, right?'

This level of bold detail had a heart-stirring aspect for the fans!

'It's totally deliberate!'

That's right.

TeSTAR meticulously frames and pours power into this concert to give its story context and immersion.

However, no matter how they planned it, there was an inevitable gap in the middle.

TeSTAR's songs were not composed to spin a single story, and they were not as rich in variety as the songs in the musicals.

So, the cover performances filled that gap.

They would be solo and unit performances.

Thus, the second act was filled with covers of the latest hot songs to support them and at the same time stand out.

TeSTAR had to calculate and move very carefully even backstage.

* * *

"Huuk."

"Three minutes!"

I was backstage where moans, short answers, and shouts come and go.

Despite the irritating nervous noises, I continued with my calculations.

'Time is tight.'

As the sense of connection between story and performance became important, there was less time to breathe. We don't have time to talk or relax during the performance.

"WAAAAH!"

I pressed my tongue to keep from getting carried away by the applause I had just heard.

And I thought coldly.

'People can love it or hate it.'

Now, the audience will love it because it's fresh and fun, but the words will come out as soon as their heads cool down.

I'm sure some fans want to communicate more interactively at the concert.

To compensate for that, the most correct decision is to plan live communication by W App after the performance.

'Great.'

There was no more time to be satisfied. It just so happens that the guy next to me who is going to perform on the next stage was getting shit on.

I asked Kim RaeBin, whose face was pale.

"Are you worried?"

"What? I-I'm not. I'll do my best to show you a stage that will satisfy the fans...!"

RaeBin answered quickly, but he was clenching and unclenching his hands.

It means he's more nervous than usual.

'That's understandable.'

I crossed my arms.

He was lacking in this experience.

He had to strain to fully understand and embody the song itself, not having arranged it as someone else unilaterally gave it to him.

After his debut, there has hardly been a case where he has to fit into a work that has already been completed according to the original composer's intentions.

'Since he has always been participating in the production or arrangements of the songs, as well as the concepts.'

It's the same as omitting the training that he originally practiced for 4 or 5 years when he was a trainee and used as a base when he became an idol.

We couldn't arrange the original song, so we had to do everything else...mostly learning how to use ourselves to the limit.

'We will take this opportunity to learn.'

We had to build our foundations one by one to show a correct performance today.

First of all, why did Keun SeJin modify the song list in such a way that the story stood out in this way?

It's simple.

"You said we wouldn't arrange the songs~ How about using that time here?"

After subtracting the arranging time, he added the ability to outdo us even more in the empty space.

He also included "context" in the elements for artists to consider and express on stage.

I hit Kim RaeBin on the back.

"You were good during practice, so take it easy."

I heard him swallowing saliva.

"...Yes."

RaeBin nodded his head vigorously.

Well, there was no need for him to do that.

"Mo-MoonDae-ya, I have to go with RaeBin..."

The boy who had finished changing clothes approached RaeBin.

It was Seon AhHyun.

He's the one who will perform with RaeBin in the next unit performance.

I smiled and spoke.

"Seon AhHyun."

"Yes?"

"And Kim RaeBin. I think you will do very well in your performance."

AhHyun answered without hesitation.

"Yes."

"...!"

Determination without any hesitation. It was such a self-confident comment that was rare for him.

"Thank you very much...!"

Thanks to this, RaeBin seemed to be impressed by the support. The two shook hands before running.

"L-let's do our best!"

"Yes!"

'It encourages him to do a good job.'

AhHyun's conviction has a basis.

For he is the only one of us who does not need to build his foundation.

For he already had it.

Seon AhHyun worked his entire childhood intending to present perfect interpretations and expressions that reflect the intentions of existing works.

He was a senior ballet student.

"W-we have to go...!"

"Okay."

I saw Kim RaeBin and Sun AhHyun running.

It was a good sight.

* * *

Just before, on stage.

It's the sound of calling you

The performance of the boys' inner temptation, 'Calling,' has ended.

Bae Sejin, who was caught by the collar, looked at the audience.

'Aaaaah!!!'

Park MoonDae's homma swallowed a scream inside.

'How could they come up with such a cool, precious and brilliant project without promoting it!!! Could it be that "rich as a musical" was a clue in the page description!!!'

TL/N: "풍성" means "rich" and "abundant."

And she took a deep breath. She had to calm down.

Even though Park MoonDae's melancholic solo, which was added to the performance of "Calling" was so incredibly sexy that she wanted to think about it, she had to clearly see the next performance!

Tuk

But when she saw the VCR, it seemed to her that the next thing to come out would be a unit performance.

'Hmm.'

She guessed that it wasn't Park MoonDae just by looking at the two hands intertwining. That was why she was a bit relaxed.

'I'll enjoy the performance.'

Having regained her senses, she fixed her gaze again.

At that moment, even below the stage, the TeSTAR members who had finished changing costumes were waiting and watching the monitor.

"It's starting!"

Park MoonDae tried to touch his chin but lowered his hand as he became aware of the makeup.

And focused on the screen.

The view of the stage was transmitted from a large monitor installed by TeSTAR's team of dedicated specialists.

For the unit performance inserted in the final stage of building up to the climax, the VCR was turned off and the music began to play.

Rrrrrrrrrr!

It's the powerful sound of a progressive rock band that took on experimentation in the late '90s.

'It came out really well.'

It showed a guy who was defeated at a crucial moment in a showdown with the enemy.

After all, the performance following 'Calling,' which was a temptation for greater power, is about an internal conflict.

The thunder-like electricity, which had been driven as an intense temptation, was soon extinguished, and the elegant and agile sound of the first act took its place.

A violin solo and a voice in a low tone were heard.

Staying in a dizzying place

Seon AhHyun was the first to take the stage.

Symbols of reason, intelligence, and character all expressed themselves following one dance direction and crossed the stage smoothly.

A white spotlight fell on the stage, highlighting the applied movements of modern dance.

Standing on tiptoe

It was an experimental song, but the interpretation with the dancers on stage was not difficult.

Because the delivery was unbelievably good.

"Waah."

"Cooool."

Seon AhHyun, standing on the stage and dressed in white clothes, performed the whole song perfectly.

The unwavering voice even merged with the musical solo, making the performance stand out more.

Even if the lights change, I will keep my voice

One step, one step

The fabric ripples in the motion of stretching, somersaulting backward, and landing softly.

The power of his mastery, which seemed to use every last inch of his remaining ability, was extraordinary.

'It really is...'

The climax left the fascinated audience static.

But here comes the dissonance.

Thump.

The violin broke.

Rrrrrrrrrr!

An electric shock was heard.

And with the flashing light of a spotlight, a person appeared on the other side of the stage.

Red light

Kim RaeBin is dressed in an outfit that fastens with countless black buckles.

He did not dance, nor did he do anything of the sort.

Instead, he grabbed a microphone upside down and moved forward slowly.

Slowly, but forcefully.

If you walk, you'll fall

Stop there, come back

And rap came out.

The unconventional rap, which mixed English and Korean language, started slowly and gradually accelerated.

And there was a crackling sound from the microphone.

It was an arrangement made in collaboration with a Korean rapper at a band concert in the 2000s.

At that time, the focus of the song's performance remained on an interview.

- It's a song where you have to burst in as an uninvited guest in the middle of the stage and own it.

And Kim RaeBin did exactly that.

He pushed the orchestra and forced himself on stage to match the electric beat.

Tick-tock, Tick-tock

When the line changes, it's not you

Your heart is where your feet are

In rap, the gestures are enlarged and the choreography is extended.

He is stealing the stage.

With the sound of the orchestra, Seon AhHyun faced a short and intense performance as a final resistance, but he had been damaged in all directions.

Therefore, the orchestra disappeared and Seon AhHyun also fell from one side of the stage impressively, landing safely on a device on the stage, and disappeared.

Rrrrrrrrrr!

The stage completely changed its tone.

And then, a short and intense choreography with Kim RaeBin and dancers filled the stage for as long as Seon AhHyun had occupied at the beginning.

Wak. Wak. Wak. Wak!

Amidst the dancers' choreography mixed with a dominant and intense krump, Kim RaeBin shook the hem of his coat in unison.

The interior was dominated by impulses.

In that way, the 2020s song was reproduced with the original singer's intention.

Except for one thing at the end.

Hmmmm.

Reason never came back.

TL/N: Seon AhHyun symbolized reason, but it was destroyed by madness (RaeBin), so the song, which was supposed to end with the return of reason just like the original song, didn't this time.

The only thing that endured to the end was the momentum.

Get off

At the end of the song, Kim RaeBin turned around and disappeared from the stage.

* * *

"WOOOOOOOW!!!!"

"Waah, do you hear that!!"

The screams from the concert hall sound like they are going to break through the narrow frame of the backstage hallway.

Although the audience is usually generous with applause, it's safe to say that this is an honest impression.

'It means that the cover of the unit performance was as good as the original performance.'

It was a success. I was happy to speak.

"You were good."

"Th-thank you...!"

Seon AhHyun, who came back first, smiled while drying his face with a towel. And when we saw the other one, who had just appeared in the hallway...

All of us applauded him generously.

"KIM RAEBIN!!!"

"You did a great job! It was great!"

"Thank you so much...!"

RaeBin, who took off his coat, nodded his head with a flushed face.

'I guess he thinks he did pretty well too.'

It's rare to find someone so honest in their expressions.

I smiled proudly.

"Well done."

"Yes...!"

I didn't say anything else and patted RaeBin on the shoulder several times.

I don't have time to do anything else right now anyway.

"Change your clothes."

"Yes!!"

Kim RaeBin opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but immediately went to the staff to carry out the mission of changing in 20 seconds.

"Now we have 150 seconds left~ Shall we go?"

"Let's go!"

Yes, the concert is not over yet.

And this wasn't all we had prepared.
