Debut or Die

"Haah."

Park MoonDae's fansite master immediately opened the notification.

“How can they broadcast live right now?!”

TeSTAR never forgot to communicate with fans through their social media, even when they didn't have album promotions, but I didn't expect them to do so right after their concert.

Not even an hour had passed since they finished it!

"They must be very tired."

When she remembered the whole setlist that poured all her energy into it, she felt worried, but she couldn't help but crack a smile.

“I will see TeSTAR again!”

It seemed that this way they would block the emptiness she felt when she finished her concert.

The broadcast took a long time to load, perhaps because more people than usual were connecting to watch it.

When she successfully uploaded the video, she could see TeSTAR sitting in front of a table full of various brands of food delivery.

Also, all the guys who were waving their hands to greet the spectators were wearing party hats on their heads!

"How cute!"

Somehow it was understood that they were celebrating having finished their concerts. Excited, she looked at Park MoonDae's face to see if he was happy.

— ...?

But… Why did he have the expression of a Tibetan Fox?

For some reason, he had a sullen expression as if he had been beaten.

"Perhaps... you don't like wearing those kinds of hats...?"

The puzzled master soon realized the reason why she looked like this. Looking closely, the members had decorated each cone hat with crayons, writing a different phrase for each one.

And Park MoonDae's phrase was…

— Oh haha…

— That is unbelievably cute!

Although the other members also had funny and cute phrases on their hats, MoonDae's gloomy gaze with lethal intent was… too cute and funny.

She covered her mouth with one hand so as not to look crazy on the subway, but she didn't realize that it wasn't necessary to do so, since half of the people in that subway car were also fans who went home after the show concert.

One by one, each passenger couldn't hold back their laughter anymore.

And the comments on W Live were quickly filled with cute questions or comments about cone hats.

After saying hello a few more times and checking the number of viewers and comments, TeSTAR set out to respond with a bit of shyness and joy.

The hat that Cha YooJin raised with both hands said “I beg to go back up with cables”.

NT: Actually, the expression said “I kneel to transport myself with cables again”, that means that he begs to be allowed to do it again because he liked it a lot. I tried to make the sentences short. In hangul there are few words that do reach in the hat, but they have long meanings.

It was a cute phrase, but Cha YooJin seemed to think it was cool because he showed his passion.

"Cha YooJin is cute too."

The master recognized him.

That means that she accepted that little boy playing with her self-proclaimed son.

Park MoonDae also smiled.

It was a very lively and cute atmosphere, so much that she ended up concentrating on the screen without realizing that she was holding her breath.

Ryu CheongWoo smiled and spoke.

Ttuk.

Suddenly, the video went dead.

— ...?

Why did it end so soon? The members hadn't even touched the phone that was filming them.

"What? Could it have been a mistake?

Perhaps that surprised TeSTAR as well, but it didn't take long for another notification to arrive announcing that they were broadcasting live again.

The boys, who had even doffed their cone hats, breathed a sigh of relief when W Live came back on air.

Ttuk.

It was cut again. This time not even a minute passed before the transmission was disconnected.

— ...

The master had a sinister hunch.

The next W Live was broadcast immediately.

The picture quality of the new transmission was disastrous. The boys, who only looked like various colored pixels, muttered while looking at the screen.

Before Park MoonDae finished speaking, the broadcast ended again.

"What the fuck!!"

Since the app was recently updated, many idols have experienced these kinds of glitches, and this time it was TeSTAR's turn to experience them.

The master checked if there was any communication from the W App that talked about it, but there was no warning about errors or instability of the server.

"...That’s true. They never warn."

She was speechless at the continued mishandling of consumers who used it’s service.

— ...

TeSTAR took another five minutes before they were able to transmit again. They heeded Seon AhHyun's opinion and changed phones to broadcast.

Now, crying emoticons have appeared in her W Live title.

The clean screen welcomed TeSTAR and viewers.

“Ha, I hope everything goes well this time…!”

The Master was relieved for a moment that TeSTAR's strategy of changing her phone seemed to work.

But this new attempt had no sound.

Park MoonDae had walked off camera, but then came back with a piece of paper that he had written on with crayons.

There was an avalanche of comments that confirmed it.

Keun SeJin painted an unsmiling expression with another crayon on the same paper.

So, they tried again, although they were already tired.

However, this time it didn't seem to cut itself for some reason!

The boys nodded at Ryu CheongWoo's careful words as there was no solution if it happened again.

Only then did the guys get excited and did a full review of the concert.

But there was something they didn't know.

With the exception of a very small number of people, almost all of the viewers had given up on watching the broadcast.

Although the number of comments had decreased, the young people did not notice because their screen had an error in showing the number of viewers with the same number as their first attempt.

While most of the Loviewers were crying because their screens were loading infinitely or they were getting an announcement that they couldn't enter the broadcast...

And Park MoonDae's master belonged to the majority...

— ...

Among the few people who were successful, some aggros laughed and broadcast the situation on social networks.

I'm going to leave a comment asking if they're crazy about broadcasting at this time of night ㅠㅠ

During the concert rehearsal, Yujin and Levim checked how many people were outside. Who classified these kids as "beautiful young boys"?

Those aggros, which would normally be buried, were seen to receive attention and the number of shares and citations increased.

— ...Ha.

The master felt deeply upset after a long time since the “Rookie of the Year” award controversy.

Since not one or two people were affected by the bugs, W App's social media accounts were hit by a huge bombshell.

Please do something about the TeSTAR broadcast

Bring back my broadcast ㅠㅠ

I am curious to know how they manage their application. After the update, error cases appear for all idol channels.

Error, error, error… How the hell do they not give them an apology?

WHY (angry emoji)

But W App did not respond.

"...I knew it, but still..."

Not too long ago, the app's developers had caused five crashes on a VTIC member's personal W Live, but never apologized.

Unless an important feature, like blocking all comments, is crippled, this company won't have the guts to apologize for its failures.

It would be more awkward if they had intentionally made those mistakes to annoy TeSTAR.

“If that was the case, I might not be able to… see MoonDae again.”

The master clicked on the TeSTAR W Live thumbnail just in case, she did it several times, but nothing happened.

And by the time she got home, W Live was completely over.

— ...

Hopefully the video replay would be uploaded early the next day or the next week at the latest.

“But if the mistake is really serious, you won't be able to see it again… No! No way!"

It would be better not to have any more ominous thoughts.

— Huuuh….

As soon as she entered her house, she let out a long sigh.

"I'll take a shower and then... I'll check my data."

There was no need to get angry about something like this after leaving in a good mood after the end of the concert.

"That's right, it was very cool."

As she recalled various moments from the two days of the concert, she felt better again.

And when she picked up the phone again, new news had arrived.

— ...?!

It was a notification from the official TeSTAR account.

And it was posted by Park MoonDae!

The attached video... It was a recording of the W Live that had just ended!

And it is. When the members changed phones and tried to broadcast again, Park MoonDae put his phone next to him and left him recording just in case.

And as soon as W Live ended, I understood the situation and immediately uploaded it.

It was filmed with a completely different phone, so he did not violate the contract rules of that application.

"...Oh my God."

The master hit her head on the bed.

Park MoonDae is a great idol, so brilliant that words fall short to describe him.

When he reread the post, he noticed something that hadn't caught his eye before.

It was a twisted crayon drawing…of a fox.

“No, I mean, does this even make sense? He's crazy!!”

Considering Park MoonDae's devastating drawing skills, it was clear that he roughly drew it, tried to correct it, and published it.

"You must have been very concerned that there wasn't a Tibetan fox emoticon...!"

The master ended up shouting "How is it possible that an idol like him exists?" and, in fact, in social networks everyone was questioning the same thing.

But this joy did not end only with individual MoonDae fans.

The other members began posting photos of concert rehearsals and after party preparations in comments on Park MoonDae's post.

Given this, comments of gratitude are obviously bounded.

Something amazing happened in the BaeAhMoon sub-unit… The one who chose to wear the sparkly bow headbands was BaeSe! hahahahaha ah, thank him for choosing the prettiest ones hahaha they looked so funny hahahahahaha

Lee SeJin was the one who chose “I like Waiting.” good to know more about that

ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Thank you so much for uploading Ryu CheongWoo's photo with his durumagi and white shirt. I love you so much RaeBin-ah

Everyone posts photos of their other clompanions lol it's ok guys... we can be everyone's fan

The sadness of not being able to be together at W Live TeSTAR soon disappeared.

* * *

— Yes, everyone loved it!

— Huuh.

— That’s good.

— That makes me happy!

At Keun SeJin's confirmation, relieved voices came from all sides.

I contained a sigh.

"I don't understand why we had so many mistakes."

It would have been very bad if we let the bad atmosphere continue after the concert.

Everyone had to be excited and happy about the concert, so that they would buy and listen enthusiastically to our new album.

It's lucky that everything went well, but the fact that W Live did not go as planned left us with a bad aftertaste.

“We even rented a place to stream.”

NT: They may have rented a hotel room near the stadium, because if they were transported to their apartment, it could have taken a while and they started their broadcast before an hour had passed after their concert ended.

It was unfortunate; however, not everything will always turn out the way we want, so we must settle for this.

— Now that we are more comfortable, shall we continue?

— Yes~

— I want chicken!

Since we had returned to our apartment, we were able to dress in more comfortable clothes.

We were ready to start the second round.

“They are holding up well.”

They probably feel encouraged to continue the after party as they are very excited and we don't have any schedules scheduled for early tomorrow.

"I'll stay for a while and then I'll go."

It was strange to see that even Bae Sejin was concentrating on choosing what he would like to eat.

Then I'll check something out while the guys are talking.

“Status window.”

Since we were successful in the concert, I will take the opportunity to make some changes.
