“…….”

There was a moment of lying silence.

The director asked back as if he had heard a random joke.

"…Magic Girl? What the kids see? Like Luna Moon?

"Yes."

Park Moon-dae quickly cleared up the situation before the head of the headquarters was offended.

Like this.

"Of course, it doesn't really mean baby magic girls."

As the PPT went over one more page, prop cuts with dreamy colors were seen.

……

"However, if we reconstruct the genre based on its symbolic motif, it is a competitive sport enough. Retro sensibility is in vogue these days, so it's also a choice to grab both popularity and pioneering ideas."

"...well."

Park Moon-dae listed examples of retro marketing in several PPTs. Among them, there was an SNS virus conducted by T1, the parent company of the agency.

"Also, if the dreamy atmosphere of the song and the keywords 'youth' and 'magic' are combined, I think the composition of art films will bring enough artistry."

Art.

He stabbed the weak part of a high-ranking person like the head of the headquarters.

When Park Moon-dae talked about his self-produced idol, he noticed what image he expected from the agency's business.

'He wanted to look cool, but it's bound to work well.’

Since he talked about popularity as much as he could, he has made enough excuses for commerciality.

"Related image reference and arrangement draft."

Park Moon-dae passed the PPT and showed additional image data selected with the members.

And lastly, I played the 7th song briefly.

It was the chorus part.

However, it felt different from the demonstration.

“……!”

"We're going to do an overall arrangement in this direction."

Kim Raebin, who stood together and was looking at the presentation materials, nodded slightly.

It gave me a strange comfort to see myself satisfied with the arrangement, so the rest of the members were also slightly relieved.

'I couldn't sleep a wink because of that.’

It was fortunate for them that Ryu Chung-woo had a car and a driver's license. I could go to the studio with just a text message from my manager.

Of course, the manager woke up in the morning and saw the text message, but he freaked out.

"Oh...."

The director gave a strange exclamation, and soon nodded his head.

And I clapped my hands.

"Oh, you definitely need to have young and talented friends. In just one day! I

you even prepared a presentation"

'You must have liked it.’

Park Moon-dae held back his snort.

The head of the headquarters talked to the working-level staff about the praise that was not even like a compliment, saying, "I think it's better than the kids who are joining the company these days," and finally talked about the main point.

"Okay, let's move on like this."

"Thank you!"

"Oh, I'm saying okay because it's me. Other directors, old people don't know much about this."

Park Moon-dae smiled as faithfully as possible when he saw the head of the headquarters showing off his pride.

It was the vibe of dealing with the professor.

For reference, the members who saw it were exchanging eyes from behind, saying, "How many times did you want to do it seven times?"

"Right. I have one more thing to tell you because I trust you."

"What?"

Park Moon-dae passed another PPT that he thought was over.

"It's my opinion on the song that the company hosted."

“……?”

"Oh, we really liked the concept of the baseball team. Right?"

"Of course!"

"I really wanted to try it."

"I heard that the director decided it for me. Thank you!"

Park Moon-dae and the members exchanged enthusiastic responses.

'They finish it before they come to their senses.’

"So I think we should add a different genre instead of disco so that we can bring out the traditional baseball feeling."

"What?"

Park Moon-dae smiled faintly.

"Why don't you write rock?”

Two weeks before the debut date of TeSTAR, which was approved by the agency.

There was an article on the portal site.

["Aju-sa" TeSTAR debuted on June 18th]

[TeSTAR, a big rookie who used to audition, counting the seconds of their debut]

[TeSTAR is here! June's K-pop scene]

It was about five days later than the Maginot Line, which was previously set as the debut period, but the fans' response was still hot.

Because there's been no news for the last 15 days.

Ah, finally

I guess something was going on. Phew...

There are 20 days left. I can finally wait comfortably.

- There's nothing on their SNS except the first one. ㅠㅠ You said take care of us! Everyone is busy preparing for the album, right?crying

HJ: We have a schedule for a reality show. I hope the preview comes out soon-to-be preview comes out

Some fans were slightly concerned about overlapping schedules with VTIC, but they were satisfied with the reality because they could not ask to postpone their debut, which had already been announced by the date.

HJ: The members will like it. There were a lot of members who said they respect VTIC, right?

- It'll be okay if it's like this because it's not even released at the same time, but there'll be a week difference.

- I'll be able to see you meet Moon Puppy Cheongryo again

- 생각Just thinking about it makes me happy

Fans talked about this and that, using a line of news as a bait.

It was not that there were no fans expressing dissatisfaction, but the response to wait and see was still prevalent.

And a week later.

It's less than 2 weeks before our comeback.

- Why isn't anything coming out?

The people exploded.

- You don't work for an agency?

HJ: "It's time for the teaser image to come out, but why isn't it coming up?" I haven't heard anything on SNS either

- It doesn't make sense that there's no bait like this

- You didn't just drop them off on an island, did you?;;; There's no eyewitness accounts

-You're not going to leave the kids unattended and run away with the investment money from the agency, I'm going to kill you.

There was a terrible war cloud about to make a statement. The website of the agency, which was hurriedly prepared, was already inaccessible due to traffic over.

The day when the LAN cable was about to be torn apart by the explosion of anger.

- Mimi crazy something came up (link)

The teaser was released at midnight that night.

* * *

“…….”

The thumbnail had two hands that stretched out into the sky. The sky, which was subtly mixed with yellow and purple, caught the eye.

But when I clicked play, a black screen suddenly popped up.

Clattering.

The English narration flowed with subtitles.

I heard the film playing.

At that moment, the sunset sky filled the screen.

The golden, purple, and red sun was littered.

The music box rang.

♫♪♩♪-♫♪♫♪-♪♩-

The two scales wet the screen like droplets and colored it dreamily.

Before I knew it, the camera began to recede. A white border encircles the fantastic colored sky.

It was a window frame with curtains fluttering.

Then, I saw In-young sleeping against the window frame.

[……]

The back of a black-haired boy in a white summer school uniform.

There were old gloves and baseballs scattered around.

The boy tossed and turned, slightly. Sunlight poured in through it.

♫♪♩♪-♫♪♫♪-♪♩-

The moment the boy's white school uniform turns pink in the sunset.

The curtains that were flying seemed to unfold wide, and then they shone white and broke like crystals.

Parsing...

The transparent crystal pieces poured into the boy's back, shooting the violet sunset in all directions.

It was an ecstatic feast of colors.

And.

The screen turned black.

“…….”

The 30-second short video, that's it.

But the ghastly views proved a response.

[View count: 5,191,045]

It was crazy.

It even took less than a day to reach three million.

Considering that TeSTAR has little foundation overseas, it was a level of deception.

"What do you think?"

"G, people... Do you like it?"

I nodded my head.

"Yes."

"D, I'm glad...!”

Ahead of their debut, several members who were detoxing the Internet for their mental collapsed on the floor.

The tension was relieved and the fatigue seemed to have darkened his eyes.

'It's understandable.’

To be honest, if the response was not good, I would have melted my mentality gently.

Because I have been working like a cow with insomnia for 25 days now....

'…but the date is close.’

In fact, the teaser was to be released later. We didn't finish editing the "Magic Boy" music video yet.

However, if we stay longer, the people who wait for us will vomit blood due to stress, so everyone tried to speed it up somehow.

"The agency finally seemed a little scared."

Anyway, the response is overwhelmingly... It was great.

- What's wrong with this crazy quality?

- Oh, my God. I'm so embarrassed. Give me your account number

- It's already fun. It's already a god song

- What? Magic boy? You are my magic... (Crying)

- That's why I haven't heard from you. I can't believe you're making something like this. Then there's nothing I can't be helped

- My wallet belongs to TeSTAR. Scheduled for teaser.

None of the fans' comments were noticeable. It meant that the reviews were so good that all the dislikes were swept away.

I think the teaser came out well too.

He chose the part to be released in the song well, and the directing was appropriate.

"It was a good choice to make it hard to tell who was on the show because only the back was shown."’

I didn't know what would happen if only one person came out in front of the group teaser that will debut as a survival.

And above all, the visual beauty that poured capital into it was excellent. It was like paying for the time I didn't have enough.

'I think people's expectations have grown too high... The song is good, so I'll be able to cover it.’

Additional content will continue to appear in the next few days, so fans will not be anxious.

"…guys, wake up and get ready again."

"Yes..."

The members raised their bodies like zombies due to Ryu Chung-woo's.

I also threw my smartphone to the public and joined.

"You did a great job. Now, the music video...We'll be done with this song."

"Wow..."

"My schedule will come back focusing on the choreography practice.”

“…….”

There was no other forced march of hell.

"Yes!"

In the terrible silence, only Cha Yu-jin's answer rang excitedly.

Then, the staff approached.

"I'm done setting up"∼”

"Yes!"

The second music video shooting was slowly ending.

In fact, considering that we usually start filming a month before the latest, there is no crazy schedule.

'...the authorities will stay up all night.’

For your information, the director who filmed "Magic Boy" also films this.

'This company, the working group, is definitely doing a good job.’

Where did he get the music video director? He quickly recruited a famous new director. It was probably intercepted in the middle by personal connections.

It was a career-like move that was ambitiously collected by T1.

The problem is that we don't know when the unexploded ordnance of the head of the headquarters and the Jung-gu District Heating Company System, which are only motivated, will explode.

In particular, I hope that the senior who was blinded by the "TeSTAR's agency is here" Unple, who beat up articles like his debut within a month, will resign immediately.

Let's get this off our heads for now.

I'm stressed out when I have to work.

"Did you all get used to your footage?"”

"I had nothing in particular to learn."

"Me, too!"

"Oh, that's right. There's nothing special about us. Sejin must be having a hard time”

"…not really."

Lee replied unevenly, but did not seem uncooperative.

Somehow, the two music videos I was filming had a storyline, so I decided to use the former child actor well.

'Well, it wouldn't be bad to keep the air running a little harder.’

I talked to Lee Se-jin.

"Actually, I was a little impressed. …you were really good."

“…….”

It wasn't entirely empty talk. He definitely doesn't go anywhere. Among them, the only unedited cut did not look like an amateur.

"I understand how you feel. "

He's embarrassed that the teaser only has the back of his head.

I've heard a load of crap from the wrong guy.

When I turned around, Keun Se-jin quickly turned around and looked away. He's really....

"…I was going to make a living out of it, but I have to do well."

"What?"

Lee did not answer any more. Just followed the staff with a slightly subdued face.

"Is he like that even if I compliment him?"

I held back a sigh. It was a waste of energy to be annoyed.

"Let's start with the group dance scene"∼”

"Yes!"

I rearranged the schedule in my head, setting the posture according to the choreography formation.

Originally, the concept photo should be released first, but the schedule was delayed due to releasing the teaser video, so it was only scheduled to be released around the time the album was released.

'Then maybe... The reality show will be released first.’

In fact, I thought a preview of Jeonju's video would be released at the latest, but it was still very late. There's only a few days left until the show airs.

And as expected, a reality trailer came up that night.
