[Episode 154 will kill you if you don't debut]

Testa's album was naturally expected by fans, but at the same time, it was also feared by some fans.

It was because of the preview of each member's solo song.

What do you mean, it's already a solo song? How are you going to line up? ㅠㅠ

I'm already stressed out when I think about how aggressive they are.

Why are you running away from the topic? You've been trying so hard to make a fan of Eul.

Of course, the performance of the solo song did not directly indicate the reputation of the members.

This is because it is released as an album anyway and exposed as a group name, so the ranking is eventually divided in the popularity of the song.

However, due to the nature of the survival group, it was inevitable that real-time broadcasting of "sound source performance by test member" was expected.

When such a little concern was growing in high expectations, the teaser of the test was announced.

It was a pre-announcement of a video using the first-time release function of WeTube.

This means that the video will be released a day later.

[TeSTAR] ["Present" Official Teaser]

A thumbnail with little hint of "dark forest, arrow stuck in a tree" appeared together.

People were indifferent because it didn't arouse much interest.

I think it's a historical drama style.

Are you doing this on purpose?

An arrow? LOL

However, when people checked the video information, the situation changed.

The length of the video was 8 minutes and 12 seconds.

HJ: You said it was a teaser! You said it was a teaser!

There's a group that hits the preview for 8 minutes?

What's going on guys? Crazy. I'm so curious.

HJ: I think the teaser came out wrong. HJ: It's 8 minutes long.

KPOP music video teasers were usually short within a minute. Eight minutes were unusually long.

Of course, the length did not mean much fatal. This is because the teaser was more of a role that filled fans' expectations than for promotional purposes anyway.

Still, some of the fans who care about their grades were disappointed.

Since it's a teaser, there would be fewer viewers if they weren't fans, but it was obvious that the number of views would decrease as the length was eight minutes.

Just in time, the appearance of U.S. programs was booming and the influx of overseas K-pop fandom was expected, so I wanted to quickly check the clear indicators.

HJ: Even if the view count of the teaser isn't used as data, that's right. It'd be better if it was short.

- I think it would have been better to divide it and reveal it in multiple ways, but I don't know.

HJ: It's not a music video of T1's emotional Shinpa no fun story, is it? Tell me it's

I think it's time to miss the kick, but I hope not. I hope you spent your money well.

Of course, fans pushed the atmosphere with positive words unconditionally in public communities or SNS, as the first thing to do was not to happen just before the comeback.

8 minutes? That's so nice. I can see their faces for a long time from the teaser. ㅠㅠ

Can we see your acting? Argh! I'm so much.

How can I wait for 24 hours?

HJ: I've been waiting for the first time.I can't believe they gave me 8 minutes after 30 seconds. Great job, TESTA DAEHWIJA.

I hope this expectation will not cool down as soon as the teaser comes out, and fans waited anxiously for the teaser release.

And the day it was released.

Those who were waiting for the first release in the real-time chat of the teaser video were shocked.

-????

What's going on?

As fans guessed, the teaser was hit by a very full-fledged historical drama style.

However, the roles the members played were not people.

The video started with a huge palace, went into it as if being sucked in, turned around the corner, and opened a long fingerprint.

It was a library full of books.

Among them, the screen chased one of the old and old books spread out on the floor.

Inside, an arm rising on the beach was roughly painted with ink paintings.

At that moment, the video changed the screen to the actual beach.

Blue.

The screen went into the sea in an instant and showed a picture lying on a huge rock under the water.

Inyoung was Sun Ah-hyun, a blonde with loose white coating.

The sunlight shook on the white face on the rock through the blue sea water. It was a beautiful but strange scenery.

White subtitles appeared in antique handwriting at the bottom.

[Breathing]

It was the song on the released track list.

And with the beautiful sound of gayageum, Sun Ah-hyun's solo song came out.

At that moment, Sun A-hyun got up and slowly started dancing in the water.

It was not a fixed choreography in the song, but just a beautiful movement.

Hair and coating drew a smooth line in the water.

Wow ㅠㅠ

He's so handsome.

Are you crazy about the underwater shoot?

People were amazed. And I thought.

"Ahyun's solo song is the intro!"

However, as soon as the beautiful underwater performance was over, the camera made eye contact with Sun Ah-hyun in the bubble and soared again in the sea.

And he approached the sandy beach with a strange circular pattern drawn with mother-of-pearl.

When the evening playground was dark, In-young, who was crouching in the pattern, stood up straight.

It was Cha Yu-jin, covering her mouth with one hand.

The old Korean alphabet with strange handwriting on its cheeks, collarbones, and hands shone like a pattern with five-colored mother-of-pearl light.

Tiddling, tingling, tingling!

With the sound of a kkwaenggwari, a new intense beat began.

[Timid]

It was Cha Yu Jin's solo song.

What?

That's awesome.

HJ: No way.

Crazy Cha Yujin ㅠㅠ

The response to Cha Yu-jin's performance and strong speculation about the current situation were mixed up, and real-time comment windows flooded.

And their guesses were correct.

In this way, all the members' solo songs were introduced.

After Cha Yu-jin, Bae Se-jin, who covered her eyes, sat on an old tree and sang a ballad melody. There was a subtle sound of schist.

And the view of the video entering the cave in the forest lit Kim Rae-bin, who uses the Chorong light like a neon.

Kim Rae-bin's solo song was a future base with the live sound as the main focus.

After that, the camera that escaped from the cave headed to an old thatched house in the forest.

In the midst of a strange colored fabric winding around the rotten long fingerprint of the thatched house.

Park Moon-dae was sitting on the toenmaru.

And the sound of salt in the already familiar "Flower Eve" rang.

- Wedding uniform! - Crazy thank you ㅠㅠ

HJ: As expected, when you see the face of a tattoo,

Finally, the video returned to a spectacular palace in contrast to the thatched house.

In the middle of it, Lee Se-jin danced like a stunt to the sound of a drum with a huge tail-like waist accessory.

It was a cheerful easy listening song.

Of course, the fans were happy.

Hey, all the songs are good.

- ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Hair and makeup. Good.

Look at the video!

I can't wait to get the albumcrying

Please, full video

The most meaningful 8 minutes of my life

However, after Lee Se-jin's dance was over, the screen turned off when he turned around with a smile and disappeared to the palace.

-???

Where's Chungwoo?

HJ: You don't want to see the title?lol

Is this a teaser?

Fans who were embarrassed that one member did not come out, and that they might actually show the title song, breathed a sigh of relief on the screen that was turned on again.

Is it a traffic error?

That's a relief

HJ: For the first time ever, this is why it's a problem ㅠㅠ

However, the screen shone again on Sun Ah-hyun in the sea. With the sound of gayageum used in solo songs.

Huh?

Again?

It's a repetitive error.

It wasn't an error.

Sun Ah-hyun on the screen disappeared after staring at the camera for a while, and then Cha Yu-jin on the sandy beach changed to a cut staring at the camera.

Next was Bae Se-jin.

However, even when the characters changed, the sound of Korean traditional music instruments in the background did not disappear and remained the same and continued to accumulate.

What?

The members put Korean traditional musical instruments one by one in the beat melody of their solo song.

As the Korean traditional instruments entered the side in harmony, a new beat melody began to be created.

Finally, when the screen shone on Lee Se-jin, the song began to have a skeleton as the sound of drums was heard.

The moment when modern instruments fill it up.

The song suddenly stopped.

And on the screen that went back... The hand appeared.

[.......]

I picked up a book with a big, hard hand on the floor. It was the first book to appear, with a strange ink-and-

The back of the book was caught on camera.

[The Goblin Exploration]

"Will you appear?"

The camera that climbed up the hand caught the owner of the arm.

It was Ryu Chung-woo who wore Cheolik.

He's so handsome.

Hey, Chungwoo.

Whatever the comment window shouted, Ryu Chung-woo in the video shook off the book with a complicated expression.

And I answered someone outside the screen with a clear eye.

"That's how it should be."

As Ryu Chung-woo turned around and left the library, the melody exploded.

And Ryu Chung-woo, who walked out of the fence, took out a bow behind his back and aimed at the forest.

It was a black lacquered gukgung.

[Now, he's here]

Warning. Another warning.

It's approaching with the smiley face.

Slow and thrilling]

The arrow flew with the sound of digging and was deeply stuck in a huge bamboo.

[Me]

The video ended with an arrow stuck in a tree.

It was a thumbnail.

Crazy crazy

SW: Woah~

Was that the title just now?

(Screams)

The other members are goblins and Chung Woo catches them?

I love you, TESTAㅠㅠ

Are you crazy that all my solo songs are connected?1

The members' solo songs were connected to form the title song. And through the video, he hinted at the story of the music video.

In a sense, he was faithfully carrying out the meaning of the teaser.

And it was a composition that clearly revealed that he thought of organic completeness in the album.

This was more evident in the information added to the "View More" section of the teaser video.

Lyrics of all the songs in the album.It included a list of copyright holders for composition and arrangement.

HJ: Every song has their names

We all made it together ㅠㅠ

Although the order was in the back, the names of various members were seen in each song. The same was true in places other than his own solo song.

And I felt a clear expression of intention in that I had to connect and show all of this from the teaser video.

"Album songs are made into a group."

This means that although there may be a line-up with the number of fancam views in the future, the sound source in the album provided a logic to defend against each member's performance comparison.

SB: They're so serious about the group.

Let's go together until we have a dinner show. We're going to watch the test dinner show ㅠㅠ

- Right, the view count is important. Teaser. - As long as it's fun for us. Thank you. 8 minutes was full.

Most of the test group fans who liked all the members and individual fans who were not aggressive seemed satisfied.

However, Ryu Chung-woo's fans responded strangely.

Looking at the end of the teaser, Ryu Chung-woo seems to be the center of the title song, because he did not introduce his solo song.

HJ: Is there no video of Chung Woo's solo song?

I'm angry that I don't have a core, but I'm out of this world.

HJ: If I protest, they'll be like, "Why are you giddy with teasers?" LOL. Disillusionment

I don't like it when the mood is set so that I can't complain about my screen time.

"I'm overdoing it even before I open the cap of the comeback" and "I didn't get a song on the teaser at all, but of course I feel bad" exchanged subtle fights.

Fortunately, before it was captured and displayed as a "controversial topic in the test fandom," posts were posted on the test SNS.

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

Hello, Lovier. Did you enjoy the teaser?

I'm a little nervous to hear the encouragement that my role in this activity is great, but I hope you look forward to the album.

Oh, I'm Ryu Chung Woo. (Smile emoticon)

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

It was a nuance that "You don't have to worry about Ryu Chung-woo's portion."

* * *

"Is this enough?""

"Yes."

"Well, I think I'm a little arrogant."

"No, don't worry."

"Ha ha, I see. ...thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ryu Chung-woo turned off his smartphone with a smile.

It didn't seem to be too concerned with the reaction. This is because when the content is released over time anyway, it is a reaction that will subside.

Still, I recommended it because I thought it would be better to relax at this time.

"This is enough."

After confirming that Ryu Chung-woo's fan opinion was agreed to "wait for now," I brought back the articles I saw earlier.

"This takes longer."'

It was an article about the group that included Gold 1.

[Big rookie Golden Age, countdown to their comeback]

[Golden Age from "Ajusa", are you going to meet the test?]

[Blue's August K-pop scene] From the test to the Golden Age]

In short, the group's comeback coincides with the test period.

Of course, there was a structure that came to mind as soon as I saw it.

"When we debuted."

It is the debut story of TESTA, which coincided with the undisputed Top tier V-Tik.

It was exactly a simultaneous activity that reminded me of this composition.

"Okay."

I kicked my tongue. I have a good feeling now.

These punks' agency is good at their jobs.

[Episode 155] [If you can't debut, you'll get sick]

It was obvious what Gold 1's agency was thinking.

"You're saying that you can't make it impactful because you won't be able to get first place anyway."'

No matter how good that group brought now, it was hard to win first place.

Even if you made a good impression with your debut song, it means that it has flourished among those who are interested in idols.

A male idol who's not from three big companies. A state of low public awareness.

This means that there are far more people who don't even try to listen to their songs.

'So it's worth trying to frame it.'

These guys were beneficial just by somehow weaving them with the test.

Emphasizing that he is from the same Ajusa Temple, he will try to capture the composition of Testa's rival challenger with a media play that is similar to the composition at the time of Vtic-Testa's simultaneous activities.

It's worth throwing even if you get some attention from the fans of the test and some checks.

As there are many people who want to scratch the test somehow, they will be defended in reverse.

Of course, if it's not good enough, it'll end with laughter.

You must be confident in your song.'

Starting with Choi Won-gil, the agency has been excellent until now.

It would have been nice if my agency had a quick upper head, but from my experience so far, let's be grateful for the present when I put an approval bot in place.

(Sound effects)

At that time, a pop-up popped up on the smartphone screen and vibrated.

...The tiger said it would come, too, but it was a message from Gold 1.

[Guys, our promotions overlap!]

[Hmm] See you at the music show. Senior artists]

"......."

He's a nice guy.

Perhaps even if he vaguely noticed the going situation, he would not have thought that this would cause any damage to the testa.

I would be thankful and embarrassed.

"You can't ignore it anyway."

Now, Testa had too much social position over Gold 1.

As soon as one of the test members shows discomfort to Gold 1, the agency is likely to quickly attach an image of "sudden division of people."

"Well, should we just move on to this activity?"'

Anyway, after this season, we will go to the picture of catching another suitable group and winning. After raising the class, the narrative is pretty only when you show the taste of victory.

And honestly... I was confident in TESTA's new album.

"You made it well."'

I don't think it's just about the level of completeness, but I think the charm as an idol activity has been sufficiently worked on.

First of all, the teaser response that was released right away was extremely good as expected.

'I think it'll be Career High.''

I had a strong feeling.

I appropriately responded to Gold 1's message in the group message room, predicting the results of this activity.

And a few days later.

Even before entering the pre-recording of the first music show, I heard good news in the waiting room.

850,000 copies?"

"Yes! You're so successful!"

It has already passed the beginning of the previous album on the fourth day.

To roughly convert future sales against trends... This meant that the initial round was extremely likely to exceed 1 million.

"It's Tier 1."

Now it's really within the top four or five male idol groups in Korea.

The members who reached that point seemed to be strong enough, but the rest were happy enough.

"Oh my god..."

"Boldly, I think overseas sales have increased!" As this concept is very traditional, it appeals to existing K-pop preferences....."

The album is so cool! That's why!"

I was a little excited and became a collective monologue, but soon it flowed toward fighting.

"Let's do our comeback performance well and show them why our album is coming out a lot."

"Oh!"

"That's an excellent thing to say".∼"

"I want to show you a great performance..."!"

You're very motivated. It was a good atmosphere to come out now ahead of the stage recording.

"Oh! Test! I'm going to show you something today!"

"Let's go!"

"It's almost an official slogan."

As the frequency increased, he slowly shouted a slogan that was not embarrassing and went up to the recording site.

Oh my god!

A familiar shout was heard.

It was a pre-recording of a music show that felt like a very long time ago.

* * *

"This album is extraordinary."

Park Moon-dae's Homema tried to calm down.

But it was hard to do that. The indicators were so good.!

"What's wrong with overseas supplies?"

It was a pleasant scream.

And the indicators were not just album sales.

Since Testa became quite a hot topic in overseas K-pop communities through U.S. talk shows, the number of SNS followers of Park Moon-dae's Homma has increased at a faster pace than usual.

Then, after this comeback, the number of shares attached to Park Moon-dae's photos has almost doubled.
