Debut or Die

If you don’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 467

In fact, it’s natural for members to do individual activities in an idol group with years of age.

The group’s profitability declined after its heyday. Then, shouldn’t each of us search for a way to eat and live in advance?

Of course, there were many exceptions in the fortress, and Testa was one of them.

“Although we’ve rarely had individual activities properly until now.”

“That’s right.”

The group continued to do well… .

‘If I had to say individual activities, it was about entertainment or pictorial.’

Since I was already from survival, I refrained from individual activities for several years, even for the sake of fandom convergence, and eventually came to this point.

I opened my mouth.

“But wouldn’t it be okay to start slowly now?”

“hmm.”

Bae Se-jin shook his shoulders. The members’ eyes reflexively turned to Bae Se-jin.

Cha Yu-jin raised her hand.

“So we have a meeting? Are you acting Sejin hyung?”

quick-witted guy

“… … I got an offer.”

“… ! You did!”

“Congratulations Chu… !”

Bae Se-jin’s face turned red among the nice but ignorant guys who responded positively.

“Oh, I won’t… !”

“… !?”

“I told Park Moon-dae earlier, but… We just made a comeback, and I shouldn’t fall out to act!”

“ah… !”

Exclamation marks appeared on the faces of Seon Ah-hyun and Kim Rae-bin.

But soon, Kim Rae-bin asked cautiously.

“I… Is it a structure where parallelism is impossible due to schedule?”

That’s right! Then you can do both!

It’s a gnome-like question with insane efficiency characteristics that more than double your composition speed.

However, Bae Se-jin grabbed both hands.

“… What if I make a mistake?”

“yes?”

“I am… I’ll be honest. I’m the slowest at learning the stage here. I started late, and my talent… There will be problems.”

“… Depending on which reference point is used, the judgment is subjective… ”

“But I don’t think I can make a single mistake on stage while concurrently taking on a completely different kind of work…” ?”

“… !!”

Bae Se-jin raised his head.

His face was pale.

“What will people think when that happens?”

Bae Se-jin, who has already quit his first solo career, will eat curse words with concentration.

But to my surprise, that guy didn’t even mention that point.

“Something’s wrong. Bae Se-jin didn’t do it, and suddenly, he overreacted and talked about it within the group to the extent that he was doing group activities and acting at the same time… You would think so!”

“… … .”

“I don’t know anything about idol activities like when I just debuted, in my own way… I know the situation now.”

okay. I know you watch Gukppong WeTube.

‘Then usually, KPOP reactions, public reactions, YouTube, and even Lex Cars appear in related videos.’

Just by reading the title, this guy knows about that much.

About the secondary rumors that rumors create.

And what kind of rumors become a hot topic and make waves.

“In a situation where we just moved companies and made our first comeback… no.”

Bae Se-jin finished his speech with a rather firm face.

“That is my judgment.”

“… … .”

oh.

I touched my chin.

First of all, apart from the validity of the conclusion he reached.

‘I drew the process to the conclusion quite logically and in depth.’

It was not an attempt to evade it, but rather a conclusion that I had put my head into the situation head-on and analyzed closely.

‘It must have grown a lot.’

That was a respectable attitude, so I was going to start talking lightly with partial agreement, but… .

“why?”

“… ?!”

Is this guy going to hit the question mark first?

Ryu Chung-woo continued to speak calmly while staring at Bae Se-jin among the members with enlarged eyes.

“Sejin. Why do you think if you act, it will definitely interfere with your stage activities?”

“Who says unconditionally?”

Bae Se-jin seemed to be in tears, but soon calmed down.

“… that there is a high probability I can imagine right now. the situation… !”

“Imaginations don’t necessarily become reality.”

“… !”

“Sejin-ah.”

Liu Qingyu said softly.

However, it was somehow a bit harsh.

“as I said last time… When you imagine the future, you seem to think more about the possibility of the bad side than the possibility of the good side.”

“… … .”

“There’s no rule saying it’s right.”

Bae Se-jin became a bit dazed.

“Even when we talked about this before, in the end it didn’t go as you expected and it worked out well. Do you remember?”

“… … .”

unspoken affirmation.

And although Liu Cheng-wu deliberately referred to it vaguely, I realized what the ‘circumstance in which I told this story before’ was.

Bae Se-jin saw a big Se-jin in an instant.

‘I think it’s when the two fought like dogs.’

At that time, I was in charge of the big Se-jin, and Ryu Cheong-woo was in charge of Bae Se-jin.

It seems that the two of them had a conversation like that at the time.

‘Bae Se-jin probably said that he would never apologize first because Se-jin hates him so much… I think he thought that even if he apologized first, we wouldn’t be able to reconcile.’

It seems that Ryu Cheng-wu calmed it down.

And, well, people with the same name reconcile, and somehow they are getting along well even though they continue to squeak.

In a word, it is true that Bae Se-jin was overly negative at the time.

But I understood why Bae Se-jin made that decision.

It must be the reason that the two of them didn’t get along so much, and the feelings of being spoiled for each other built up, and then they suddenly had a big fight.

In fact, I wondered if Bae Se-jin’s way of thinking itself had an empirical reason.

‘… It’s probably because of his experience as a child actor.’

I was ruined once with an agency like X. Besides, we even watched it live, which was almost ruined because our biological father was like that.

It seems like a natural instinct for that guy to consider the worst possible outcome in a decisive choice.

the problem is… .

‘And me too… .’

It’s something I can understand.

Judging by my X-like experiences as a child, I also have a few things that pop right out.

It is a situation where the worst possible assumption becomes a reality.

Those who have experienced such things always assume the ‘worst case’ and plan for the future.

‘I’m preparing.’

I don’t think I’ve ever lost anything, so I’m not particularly dissatisfied with my thinking circuit… . Ryu Cheong-woo seemed very sorry for Bae Se-jin.

“Until now, I have rarely made mistakes on stage while promoting. It was like that even when I couldn’t sleep well. But will I suddenly make a mistake this time?”

“… … .”

“I don’t think so. And even if it does, there is a possibility that it will pass without any problems… . It’s nothing else, and it would be too bad if I gave up for that reason.”

Bae Se-jin’s eyes turned hazy.

And I felt a sentiment close to astonishment toward Liu Cheng-wu.

‘How could that bastard do that?’

How can a guy who retired from the national team right before his prime due to the aftereffects of a childhood accident that he doesn’t even remember can live with that kind of mindset.

Even though we’ve lived together for several years and know everything… No, on the contrary, it was more difficult to understand.

‘Well, how can all humans be the same?’

A team like this and that must all be there for the team to roll.

As evidence of that, Bae Se-jin seems to have been a little emotionally agitated by that resolute statement.

And as if driving the momentum, Ryu Cheng-wu spoke up.

Not Bae Se-jin, but me.

“what do you think about it?”

“… … .”

Why?

‘Since he called a meeting, he must have thought he would back it up.’

I answered shyly.

“No what… You are right. In fact, I think what Sejin hyung said is also true. There are possibilities.”

“… … !”

“… okay?”

Why do you, Ryu Chung-woo, also have a sullen face?

Anyway, I shrugged.

“And even if I persuaded him like this, Sejin-hyung would still be anxious. I don’t think you need to do individual activities like that.”

“… … .”

“So I want to refute Sejin hyung’s reasoning.”

“… ??”

“Bar Rebuttal… Are you talking?”

Yes.

“I think there is a fundamental cause for worrying that my brother will make a mistake in the first place.”

“… root cause?”

What are you talking about?

Listen.

“The active schedule is tight.”

As tight as it is, there is no room, so there is no time to prepare the mind and body for the stage.

It is the worry that your skills in that environment will inevitably lead to mistakes.

“In the first place, wouldn’t he have said it would be okay if the schedule had been a little more relaxed. Even at the same time, there is time to practice.”

Bae Se-jin answered with a puzzled expression.

“that… It’s like that.”

I nodded.

“Then there is no need to worry.”

“… ?? why… ?”

“Your schedule will be better than before.”

“why?!”

I put on the pod with both hands.

“The T1 series schedule is all blocked… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Yes.

Bae Se-jin, who inadvertently predicted a schedule similar to the previous albums, missed this loophole.

‘we… There aren’t many broadcasts going on.’

It will be over after one or two TV shows are aired and a few Wetube shows are broadcast.

The rest of them don’t match the value of the group’s name, so they can’t go out unintentionally.

‘But the topic was covered by the game… .’

After all, in the crazy 60 days that we ran while preparing for the album, it was the same as pulling out the promotion activities for the album.

And Bae Se-jin’s eyes became dots as if he realized that.

He looks flustered.

“that… think about it.”

“yes. And while you’re thinking about it, I’ve got another agenda to talk about.”

“What what?”

why. I didn’t hold the meeting just to talk about your acting activities.

“In the first place, we didn’t just do Sejin-hyung, but during this period of activity, we thought it would be nice to split up and make individual appearances a few times.”

“yes??”

“Ooh we… ?”

“Um, the album came out, but all the members were doing individual activities… . Anyone who wants to do it, of course, can do it, but I don’t mind doing it next time.”

The prudent Ryu Cheong-wu was happy to respond, but rather that was the goal.

“No, rather, it’s because of the album.”

“hmm?”

“Since there are limits to whether a group can appear together in a program or event, I thought it would be better to show their faces a few more times, even as individuals.”

“ah.”

Then, since it is a T1 series, you will be able to make up for the cut schedules even slightly.

Shouldn’t we let people who aren’t familiar with WeTube know that the testa album is out?

and… There is one more advantage, but it seems that Sun Ah-hyun noticed it.

“ah… ! Then Sejin-hyung’s acting will be seen as part of that individual appearance… It will be as if we are all together!”

Yes.

Bae Se-jin has a uniquely different texture and is serious, but if she lets go of her circumstances, she won’t go to the point of being saturated alone.

“… ! Indeed! I couldn’t reason that far!”

“Then let me get out of here!”

The conference room became noisy with Kim Rae-bin, who began to admire Seon Ah-hyun, and Cha Yu-jin, who started actively exploring programs.

Bae Se-jin bowed his head.

“… thank you. really.”

“… !”

“no! I admired your will to even consider giving up for the sake of the album! I will support you in acting… !”

“okay. I will cheer you on.”

“Hwa fighting… !”

May I also add a word?

“If it’s a swashbuckling role again, ask for a change.”

“… okay.”

Bae Se-jin’s voice was mixed with laughter.

And Bae Se-jin raised his head again, his eyes shining with his fists clenched.

“I’ll be fine.”

yes

“The stage… I will continue to practice.”

It’s good.

“I… I will work hard to promote the album during that shoot… !”

“it’s okay.”

That’s not it.

That version is also bloody, so it becomes an X. Just take a picture of your work or work hard and come.

“Ah, but… … .”

Bae Se-jin seemed to want to say something more, but he suddenly met someone’s eyes and shut his mouth.

He hadn’t said a single word throughout the entire meeting.

“… … .”

Big Sejin.

The guy was looking at Bae Se-jin with an expression that didn’t show much emotion.

Bae Se-jin seemed to be trying to avoid his gaze reflexively for a moment, but soon that sign disappeared.

Instead, he asked Sejin seriously.

“you… what do you think about it?”

“… … .”

“What I do while I’m active.”

Sejin looked at the table for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Wouldn’t it be okay in this situation?”

“… !”

It was an underpowered tone.

And it was an euphemistic affirmation.

Sejin Bae was startled as if he would jump out of his chair, but soon cleared his throat.

“No, I didn’t say much… I didn’t like it, but I thought I was holding back!”

“Yeah what… . yes. That way, no matter what I react to, I think they will interpret it in a bad way~” “

… … .”

‘It’s a perfect song.’

Keun Se-jin deliberately raised the end of his words as if he were joking, but his sincerity was clear.

And Bae Se-jin also seemed stabbed.

Even if I said individual activities were a good idea, I would have suspected that I was being sarcastic and would have nodded my head if I objected.

Big Sejin rubbed the back of his neck.

“We have annual leave… Gradually, the time has come for everyone to do individual activities~ And hyung said he was thinking of turning it down anyway.”

“… … .”

“It’s good if everything goes well together.”

Big Sejin finished talking like that.

It really didn’t sound like empty talk.

“… okay.”

And Bae Se-jin seems to have been able to accept those words this time.

“good. then… I’ll wrap it up and contact the director!”

“Great!”

That’s how Testa finished preparing to enter the album promotion period in earnest.

in a slightly different way than before.

“I… However, if cooperation with all affiliates related to T1 is not possible, is it possible that we will not be able to produce a group reality program this time?!”

“wait.”
