《Debut or Die (MTL)》73

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
One of the VTIC members who touched the smartphone according to their pre-recordings and tastes of boring music programs sang Cheongryeo.
What showed was the ninth most popular video on We Tube in real time.
Issue WeTuber was excitedly talking about the showcase water bottle incident with personal opinions.
"This is him, right? The Aju Temple."
"...oh."
Cheong-ryeo looked at the screen and remembered the ridiculous psychological test.
"Park Moon Dae."
It just so happened that the video showed a small, ambiguous-quality fancam (due to copyright issues. It was a scene where Park Moon-dae gently took care of the situation.
"He's so smart"
"I know."
"But it didn't work out. Why are we in the same boat?...."
Other members, who were watching from the side, also stepped in and kicked their tongues.
"It's been a day or two that Tnet is being reckless."
"Ji-Ji is okay, but you must be sad that you didn't get first place."
The tone of some sympathy was based on the conviction that they would win in the second week.
In fact, it was inevitable.
It was ranked as the largest music streaming site in Korea.
Since the real-time music charts have been reorganized, it has been impossible to break through the existing music charts and win the first place immediately.
'It takes a week at the earliest.'
The same was true of TeSTAR's music, which will be released at midnight.
Then, TeSTAR's first week album sales had to beat the second week of VTIC by a triple score or more to expect the top spot in music programs, but unfortunately, the initial period overlapped with VTIC for about a day.
Unless either side sets a crazy record enough to surpass expectations, it means that losing is scheduled.
Of course, no matter how many times you were in an audition, it was absurd to mention the No. 1 music chart to a new male idol.
"Okay! If you have time to worry about your hoobae, let's do well!"
"That's right!"
VTIC quickly returned to their respective interests.
And Chung-liang thought with her chin on her hand.
'...I could lose.'
* * *
The debut showcase ended well in a frenzy.
But there was no special after party.
"I just debuted and I can't look like hoppang on TV. I don't think it's a big deal."
"The hoppang is good!"
"You have to be handsome so that you can't be chubby like you want to eat.""
"Aha!"
Cha Yu-jin was convinced at once. I watched Keun Se-jin's amazing communication skills for a moment, and then it became a topic of conversation again.
"But Moon Dae's achievement was a real after party."
"E, that's right."
"It was great."
"...yes, thank you."
"Haha, he's so shy"
"......."
From the end of the showcase until now, I have been listening to the phrase "Park Moon-dae's quickness is the best in the world."
It is not embarrassing, but rather bitter.

Especially, I'm getting angry because he's trying to make me feel more embarrassed.
"Everyone did a great job. Wait... Let's take a break."
"Yeah!"
"Finally."
Anyway, I got a short break instead of an after party. At Ryu Chung-woo's words, the members scattered to the accommodation, showing reactions from various spectra from relief to joy.
For your information, I slept. Lee Se-jin, who shares a room with him, also slept, improving his sleep quality.
'I miss the trait of not having to sleep.'
But the reality camera was still running. Thanks to this, I had to gather in the living room again after spending a short personal time.
"Everyone seems to have rested well."
"Hehe."
Cha Yoo-jin, who apparently forgot the snack, laughed.
And we all gathered together to look into Ryu Chung-woo's smartphone.
"It's amazing that it's already an open day."
"Gi, I'm nervous......."
This is because the song of the debut album will be released at midnight.
You don't have to look at your own and watch one together... Well, maybe it's because the painting is so heartwarming.
"Oh! It went over!"
The smartphone clock unit quickly changed.
"Wow, did the song come out?"
"Are you watching now?"
Kim Rae-bin firmly organized it.
"It takes more than an hour to get to the 24Hits chart."
"An hour..."
Lee Se-jin disappeared into the kitchen, spitting out acupuncture. It was like trying to bring water.
'...there's a good chance it won't show up after an hour.'
This is because they have to compete with an hour-long performance among other songs counted 24 hours a day.
Even VTIC ranked 87th in the 24-hour chart an hour later.
Perhaps Kim Raebin was trying to explain the fact continuously, but when I made eye contact with him, he quietly closed his mouth.
"......?"
It was okay to explain this time
Keun Sejin said with a smile, as if to offset the tense atmosphere.
"Then... How about watching the music video of 'Magic Boy' first?"
"Oh."
That's right. I haven't seen that yet either.
I didn't have time to think about it because I barely got back to the accommodation and got a break.
"The reality show staff asked us to film a lot of reaction footage for this, too."'
"That's a good idea."
"See you on the big one!"
Cha Yu-jin quickly picked up the remote control and changed the TV screen to WeTube.
Without searching, the music video is on the top of the list in real time.
"Yeah!"
"Wow, wow."
The members looked at the screen as if it didn't feel real, and finally came to their senses.
"Oh, it's a thumbnail."
"Well, it came out well."
The thumbnail was Park Moon-dae looking back in front of the classroom window.
Behind the white curtain, the sky colored with scarlet and purple shone with backlight.
"Is it first place treatment?"
While looking at the thumbnail with a sour face, I manipulated the remote control that Cha Yu-jin was holding and pressed the play button.

"Oh
The music video of "Magic Boy" was played against the backdrop of Cha Yu-jin's embarrassed voice.
The video began with a thumbnail screen.
[.......]
In the middle of the empty classroom, Park Moon-dae was looking out of the window at sunset.
The moment he looked back and made eye contact with the camera.
The song started.
The screen has changed.
The old and broken campus was clearly revealed in the midday sun, then suddenly it turned purple and shiny bubbles poured out.
♫♪♩♪-♫♪♫♪-♪♩-
And in the everyday place of the school, the images of the members doing unusual behavior passed by each part.
Cha Yu-jin was sitting alone on a fine desk in the broken classroom.
He lined up an animal-shaped clockwork doll at the corner and turned the clockwork. Because of the shadows and lights, the doll looked like a small creature.
Sun Ah-hyun, who sat on the bed in the nurse's office, ripped off the pillowcase. Instead of cotton, something like dandelion fluffy came out of it and sparkled in the air around the bed.
Ryu Chung-woo shot flowers in the flower bed with a toy gun. Instead of Bibimtan or water, a ray of light bursts and blue petals soar.
And the zoom that unfolds on the roof with the purple sunset.
After the chorus, the beat was more divided, followed by a spectacular dance break.
The midday rooftop was cross-edited, and the subtlety of the purple background scene deepened.
"You did a great job with that new makeup."
"That's right! If you look carefully... There's a difference between the outfit and the makeup you took at sunset."
Big Sejin explained to the camera.
It was true.
The daytime background was more like a bare face, and the sunset background was some kind of glitter and even something similar to redness under the eyes.
I added more accessories when I took pictures of the sunset background.
"Everyone must have been dying to film it in a day."
Fortunately, the cut came out well, even though the hard work was worth it.
And the second verse that goes in.
After a strange finger movement that seemed to be hypnotizing, Kim Raebin came out from behind.
And I rapped the melody with a slow, complicated, very strange rhythm.
What intersects is Kim Raebin, who sits on a pile of broken cabinets in the hallway and throws an awl.
"Oh!"
"I like your voice."
"...thank you."
Kim Raebin was a little embarrassed, but he answered without hiding his pride.
"How did you choose something that's as fierce as an awl, Raebin?"
"...because it's cute......?"
"......?"
Big Sejin's mouth closed with an answer beyond imagination. I replied pleasantly instead.
"Let's say so."
"Raebin, you're so cute."
I was relieved to see that the color was okay during the music video, and the reactions became a little more comfortable.
On the following screen, Lee Se-jin was coming out as the last batter.
Lee Se-jin stood in the school building looking at the front door. A correction was seen through the glass door.
And the bridge before the last chorus.
The riff melody, the orgel, lowered its tone, and the vocal melody followed it equally.
Lee Se-jin broke the glass door.
At that moment, the cut went round with the sound of the film spinning.
A strange whisper, like turning the tape back, passed by, and the cut was inserted without music.
Park Moon-dae walked into the campus from outside the school.
Soon Park Mun-dae, who stopped in front of the front door, reached out both his hands and grabbed the handle. And.
Clattering.
Locked up.
... Clattering.
As the film went around, the last chorus burst with the choreography.
Before I knew it, the area around the rooftop where the choreography was unfolded was turned into a more unrealistic space.
The railing wrapped around the roof broke and made a transparent crystal. And distorted the light like a prism.
Like the light that disturbs the background, the choreography is more complex and the curve is stronger.
The last part of the choreography. The members naturally changed the formation into a circle. The moment they laid their heads together on the rooftop in a circle, the song ended.
Tapping.
Purple bubbles burst out.
And the black screen that appears.
Amid the slow-arranged Inst of "Magic Boy," a classic ending credit went up like a short film.
Only then did the members' words burst again.
"Wow!"
"It came out so well.""
"Thank you, director."
"Oh, I think it came out great...."
It became a strange situation in which they did not accept any words to any books at the same time.
But no one cared about it and made a lot of noise.
"It's funny because it came out very, very meaningful."
"I think the fans will have fun finding various details."
"Ah, we liked it, but I hope the fans like it too."∼"
The atmosphere became so warm that it could not be warmer.
"You got off to a good start, so it's understandable.'
Thanks to this, when checking the music charts, the tension was not so high that it was uncomfortable.
And the results.
"Wow! You're in!"
It was ranked 85th and 88th.
"...One song is a bit higher than VTIC."
It was more than an open mind with the popularity of auditions that had been popular nationwide.
"You're crazy."
However, the members were just happy because there were more people who were more familiar with words like "No. 1 in real-time entry."
Even if you know it with your head, what you can see right now is in the 80.
So the more intense reaction came next.
"C, all of our songs......."
"Oh my god."
On other music sites where real-time charts are still alive, TeSTAR's title song ranked first and second side by side.
[.......]
Even in the top seven, all four songs released in this album were included.
Of course, in a few moments, VTIC will lose out in a flash. It was crazy, though.
Only then did the members, who felt real, continue to look at the smartphone screen in amazement.
"Cha, let's take a screenshot."
"That's a good idea."
It was a signal that exploded from the beginning of an active play, which has not yet appeared on a music program.
