Big Se-jin grumbled for quite some time.

If it was, something other than candy would have blown away.

Anyway, Big Se-jin must have felt better after eating all the candy, and after getting in the car, he played a prank again.

They're not here, you punk.

'It's just someone I saw a lot at an event.'

I chuckled and replied.

I heard Ryu Chung-woo laughing at Big Se-jin's nonchalant words. Kim Rae-bin responded seriously.

Everyone couldn't answer for a moment because Kim Rae-bin suddenly shouted fiercely.

Maybe he took it as a kind of signal, Kim Rae-bin explained more seriously.

Seon A-hyun was horrified. (: So cuteㅠㅠ)

There was a moment of silence.

'Let's just... agree with them.'

I struggled to open my mouth.

(: I SWEAR HE'S THE CUTEST)

Kim Rae-bin blinked his eyes as if enjoying his victory for a moment. Ryu Chung-woo smoothly took over the situation.

Behind Kim Rae-bin's loud voice, Cha Yu-jin could be heard murmuring quietly

These two guys who are different from each other are ignoring each other, I see.

Filming for music shows continued every day until Sunday.

I began to feel dizzy after every day of getting ready in the middle of the night and doing the pre-recording at dawn.

At least Friday's music show was pre-recorded from 9 o'clock, so I took a breather, but there was no big difference when I went to work at 7 o'clock.

I'm like this with the characteristics of 'Bacchus 500', so it's obvious without having to look at the other guys.

'Lee Se-jin almost fainted yesterday.'

Fortunately, he fell down in the car so he did not get hurt. Perhaps the agency was surprised, after that, the non-greasy diet became a little more relaxed.

In the midst of this, it was natural for my stamina to diverge as I tried to create reality content in the evening.

'...to think that I have to do this every week.'

The only good thing was the moment I performed while listening to the cheers. It was a great structure that both fans and idols had to endure the time of endurance for that time.

It was even more so considering that there were more people crying because they didn't get this opportunity.

'Like pushing people out.'

I sighed.

Anyway, the last music show of the weekend is finally over. I applauded the winner.

'We didn't pre-record here so I slept quite a bit.'

From what I heard, he seemed to have been complacent because he participated in the cable audition. No wonder the order was in the beginning and middle.

Of course, there was a rhythm. Since there is no pre-recording, there is a limit to the stage composition.

This is because we have to finish the stage with one live broadcast.

'In the first week of promotions... It would be useful to pre-record.'

I find it ridiculous when I think about it, but if there is no work-life balance anyway, wouldn't it be better to produce a good result?

As soon as I returned to the waiting room, I received a request for a picture.

'Might be to upload on SNS.'

I had to film something like this. Needless to say, I took out my smartphone and turned on the front camera.

The 7 people adjusted the angle well in order to show their upper body costumes and took pictures continuously.

Then they get excited to pick and post the pictures well.

Sure enough, there were people who were arguing again over which picture to upload.

Of course, Seon A-hyun's stopping didn't work.

In conclusion, two images were uploaded, one chosen by Big Se-jin and one selected by Cha Yu-jin. Lee Se-jin was watching the process with a tired expression and shook his head.

He seemed to have forgotten that he complained yesterday about posting something he didn't look good on.

'Haha, the team is doing well.'

Fortunately, there is a camera so a fight didn't build up.

Anyway, the first week's promotion seemed to end like this.

Both the number of views and the overall review was very good. I check occasionally whenever I have time.

'As expected, picking the dance was the answer.'

To be honest... I invested one remaining point in the dance stat right before shooting the music video.

This is because not only the vocals but also my performance itself was more than I thought. It was probably the number one side effect.

'I had to do it because I had to come out to the center frequently.'

I thought about it with other stats until the last minute, but I decided that the priority was to make up for the weakest.

'If you get laughed at as a meme, you'll get into trouble.'

Thanks to it, my current dance stats are 'B-'. It means that I can think that I am good at dancing.

'...Of course, it wasn't much because the three guys' dance is grade A.'

Now that it's not an individual competition, let's settle for a leap to the level that contributes to quality.

...Well, it's fun to see fans enjoying it on Park Moon-dae's fan cam.

Before leaving the waiting room, members and staff laughed and congratulated each other. The manager added a word.

That's right. As the manager said, the song is climbing up (the ranks) very well.

I remembered today's 24Hits ranking capture in the group chat.

'There must really be a music show buff.'

What was a little surprising was that the 'Magic Boy' turned the tables around.

Perhaps it is thanks to the performance, but the fact that the song is not boring might have also contributed.

'I think 'Magic Boy' would've been okay for those who thought 'Hi-five' was loud.'

I was satisfied that my new characteristic of choosing a song seemed to be quite effective.

... Of course, VTIC was still at the top of the music charts. They were really great guys.

'Hmm, is it too much to win first place on public TV with this promotion?'

Looking at the situation, I think our next album will be released within this year. The results of this album were good, so I didn't think it was enough to be nervous and worried.

...I wish I didn't have this dog-like situation where death is suddenly renewed from the beginning.

I tried to remember the deep frustration that I had forgotten due to my busy schedule, but I managed to calm down.

Getting angry doesn't change the situation, so let's calm down.

'...will I be satisfied taking a smooth path?'

I shrugged my shoulders and packed my bag. Next to me, I heard Ryu Chung-woo asking our manager.

As the manager spoke brightly, some of the guys were hooked even though they were tired.

The manager nodded proudly.

Some of the members raised their heads as if tempted. The manager added more words.

...Ah, I already have a feeling.

'It was weird from the moment he started talking a lot.'

TVC is a broadcasting station of T1 affiliates. In short, they want to use TeSTAR to make headlines as they launch a new entertainment show.

Besides, it's a program that I haven't even heard of 3 years later.

'Putting us in because you think the program will fail.'

Since TeSTAR hasn't topped the list yet on other broadcasting companies, and it's hard to send a love call to a former cable auditioner, so I think they're having a war of nerves to cast a variety show.

'Can't wait for that deal and spend the first entertainment special here?'

It's ridiculous to see the company guys making a choice without any productivity in the group while drawing a big picture.

However, the unknowing members responded to the manager in a bright and brave manner.

I ended up nodding too.

Yeah. What can you do when the camera is rolling? It's not like a rookie has the right to refuse a schedule, so let's just stop talking and come.

And just in time, I happened to meet eyes with big Se-jin, who was smiling and nodding.

He might look like an , but it's an eye that asks if there's nothing he can do.

Later, when I got in the car and asked him secretly, he said that the reaction to the first episode of "Working Human," which was aired just before, was devastating.

'As expected.'

I thought I had given up enough expectations for the company, but I think I recovered unnecessarily while preparing for the album.

Let's throw away more.

***

There was a camera at the meeting with "Working Human" because the story of the appearance with the agency was already over.

'They've already planned this on their own.'

The meeting ended in a hurry by exchanging questions and answers without hesitation because the next shooting was just around the corner.

Just like the title , the show was mainly a question asking what I wanted to do.

'...Not having to work is the best of course.''

However, since I can't write down these answers because of my current job, I answered some moderately unusual jobs.

'They're in a hurry.'

The production team scrambled to collect all the questions and answers they wanted and ended the meeting. I could see that they were so busy to death.

'The response for Episode 1 wasn't well, so people seem to be divided.'

Anyway, thanks to them, we were able to get back to our dorm before night.

As I was waving my hand to Big Se-jin, who was taking a video to post on SNS, I felt a vibration in my pocket.

'I have a bad feeling about this.'

After checking that Big Sejin finished filming the video and turned off the camera, I checked my smartphone.

Wow, it's really uncomfortable.

'Are you preying on a rookie because he didn't call you first?'

I see you didn't take my number because you really wanted to be friends.

Still, I sent a reply because I cannot ignore him due to his seniority.

Then a reply came in an instant.

I'm so tired.

I roughly sent a short reply like 'OK, thank you.' and turned off my smartphone.

'I'll be late to check my messages tomorrow, so I can just leave it be.'

Besides, I was annoyed by weird people constantly sending me messages. I am really curious about how they found out (probably his number or KakaoTalk).

Let's change the status message while blocking contact with numbers that are not in the contacts.

'Anyway, today... is it the time to go home?'

As soon as I was falling asleep in the car, I heard Ryu Chung-woo's voice.

I suddenly jolted awake.

Looking around, everyone's face seems to say, "I want to rest." However, they could not refute what was right, so there was only silence of agreement.

I held back a sigh.

'...Going home, my ass.'

I should go practice.

***

Fans were having a happy time with overflowing content while TeSTAR was on their first week of murderous activities.

That was also the driving force for TeSTAR to follow the schedule quietly.

- The first week's cross-editing of music shows came up on WeTube, and it's amazing (Link)

- This week's reality showcase episode was great! They're so cute when they do their hair and when they're seriously preparing for the stage, it makes me cry. TeSTAR, let's do this for a long time ㅠㅠ

- The behind-the-scenes of the CQ pictorial and the interview came up. All the magazines are sold out for now. (Link)

ㄴ Ah...ㅠㅠ I'm late...

ㄴ Please take a lot of additional pictures please...ㅠㅠ

Since the contract with TeSTAR was not short-term, the agency deliberately tried to create an atmosphere that liked the group itself rather than a marketing method that encouraged individual competition among members.

And the effort was trying to settle well in the fandom.

The group's use of only one SNS and posting pictures together often was now an atmosphere without much resistance.

However, it was not possible to do so in one field.

It was a random photo card that was into the album.

Since it is an element directly related to the album sales channel, the members' photo cards randomly entered the album according to traditional details.

Thanks to this, those who wanted to curse at TeSTAR were filled with related comparisons and chatted excitedly.

-----------------

-----------------

- As expected, Cha Yu-jin is first place lol

- Ah give Park Moon-dae the ending center lol Was it good that you sold your dead parents and won 1st place?~

- Lee (Bae) Se-jin is useless everywhere. Is there anything you do other than get enough footage for the music video?

- Ryu Chung-woo's bubble finally came out. I thought there would be no core after seeing the final ranking lol

- Let's stop pretending to be an insider and a cheerful and handsome guy, Big Se-jin. You're not that popular ㅠㅠ

- Seeing that Ahyun's face is the limit, I think it would have been better to choose a job that says nothing. Not an idol, but a pictorial model? You should've done the same thing!

No matter how fans feel free to ignore or to report, there was a limit. The jealousy and anger pouring out toward Rising, who was "on the verge of going better than expected," was at a level that was difficult to understand with common sense.

As the taunts poured all over the members, they formed a strange consensus among the fans.

- Let's not feed the crazies

- ICorp was already over but you're still hanged up on them? There's no way they are fans of the guys or an individual fan

ㄴ If you're a real fan, does it make sense to express yourself in such a comment like that ㅋㅋ

- There's no need to be swayed by the regulars who pretend to know everything just because they've seen ICorp. Let's only focus on the kids.

- That's right. TeSTAR is so good at what they're doing, so let's not waste our emotions on such things. They just belong in a company of losers

Among them, the identity of a "group fan" was slowly forming, not just formally expressing it.

And just around that point, a special event was approaching.

It was TeSTAR's first fan signing event.
