Bae Sejin's summons to the Human Rights Commission hit the jackpot.
'Did this work like this?'
I was almost at a loss for words when I saw the atmosphere on the Internet where they were happily hitting T1.
First of all, the thing that worked the best was… Of course, the cause of the TeStar car accident was covered up.
[The tragedy caused by complacency… The bare face of T1, a large entertainment company]
["It was an incident, not just a car accident" The agency that covered up the terrorism]
Right before I recovered from a coma for 18 days, 'TeStar's traffic accident' became the hottest topic on the Internet again.
But there was a story behind that incident, and even that was extremely irritating.
As if a conspiracy theory had become a reality, people clung to it with excitement.
Articles also excitedly fueled public opinion by using words such as "terrorism," "backdoor operations," and "crisis of catastrophe."
Since the embargo exploded not in the entertainment aspect but in the social aspect, no matter how large the company was, it was impossible to pick up spilled water.
-The singer under the agency was wandering between life and death, but they just thought of keeping their mouths shut! Wow, conglomerate class~
-Ex-manager intentional terrorism? The company is scary, why the fuck are they messing with their idols?
└ Did they pick this bastard as a group idol manager without even going through an interview? ㅋ
-There were a lot of parachutes ㅋㅋㅋ It must have been an internal scandal inside the company. TeStar will come out with hair loss.
-'Recommendation resignation due to numerous verbal abuse' <-They didn't notice for a long time but then they cut it in a hurry. The security is also shit.
- They are dirty seeds who are only good at concealment and behind-the-scenes work. They must be firmly rooted out for the country to survive.
In addition, Bae Sejin gathered everything he could to poke at the Human Rights Commission of Korea and inserted it, so there was more than enough justification for incitement.
[Conglomerate subsidiaries, serious human rights violations of T1 Stars]
["The overtime hours were manipulated", even leaving the company due to verbal abuse… A lot of exposure]
[T1 "T1 Stars is not involved in management" faces criticism]
Wasn't it an element that evoked a lot of sympathies that a popular idol who earned well was moaning at the company's power abuse?
When they met the all-around answer, 'But they earn a lot of money at a young age', their momentum was bound to fade.
However, if the conclusion was that 'this large company is garbage', the story would change.
This was because hunting became more fun when there was a common enemy and cause.
So in July, when the rainy season was late and sunny, people were using the heat stress to beat T1 with excitement.
Apparently, T1, the parent company, had more awareness than the newly launched agency, 'T1 Stars', so they were getting beaten up with excitement.
A national petition had even appeared.
[We request an investigation into the actual situation of human rights violations in T1.]
Of course, this was just watering it down, but of course, the T1 headquarters seemed to be the flagship.
'Even though they aren't famous for good employee welfare.'
Honestly, it was self-employed.
I was sorry for the people in charge, but it turned out to be really fun.
Anyway, as Bae Sejin thought, they seemed to be searching for whistleblowers or competitors' work.
It was because the TeStar incident had become a structure that seemed to have been used to increase the board.
'… That's good.'
No matter how much they dug, it would come out.
The more time was wasted, the more the company would cripple and the group's influence would grow.
I smiled and switched the screen of my smartphone.
This time, the fan community.
[T1 Boycott (175)]
[Naughty bastards, my teeth really tremble (24)]
[Can't the kids go to another agency?? (798)]
[It was because of the agency haha.. (13)]
[I wish I could wake up and see only good things♡ (151)]
Related articles came up with this feeling, but the atmosphere was not gloomy.
The fact that I woke up right now… It seemed to make them happy.
And public opinion itself was favorable, and it didn't seem like it was under a lot of stress because they slightly missed TeStar.
Seeing so many people saying 'I knew it', it seemed that similar speculations had already been circulating among fans.
'… I'm glad.'
I closed the screen.
I wanted to post at least one thing soon, but I planned to post it after discussing it with others just in case.
'A survival report would be fine.'
… And, I had to make a very important suggestion.
'The tour needs to go on somehow.''
This had been planned in its own way.
I crossed my arms and decided to calmly wait for them to come.
And at 2 PM…
Bae Sejin, who burst into the hospital room, was red with excitement.
"… I think it's going good!"
"Yes. The response is good."
"… … !"
It was the moment when I was about to get to the point, leaving the man with both hands clasped and shuddering at the taste of success.
"When the result of the human rights commission complaint comes out… Let's go ahead with the lawsuit!"
"… !!"
"As long as there is evidence, we can win the case! I-I'll pay all the attorney fees!"
Bae Sejin strongly insisted on stepping on the accelerator once more.
'No.'
Was this guy too drunk on success?
It was understandable because the result was good, but at this level, a lawsuit was an extreme hand that should only be used when the real hand didn't work.
But before I could even open my mouth, Keun Sejin spoke.
'I guess it's something that hasn't been agreed upon so far.
He seemed to have finally come to his senses.
"Hyung. After winning that case, you're planning to move to another agency, right?"
"… Yes."
"Well, then we wouldn't be able to participate in all of the TV programs that T1 invests in, so wouldn't it be difficult?"
"… There are many other broadcasts too. And WeTube or… There are many other ways to be active."
Bae Sejin swallowed his saliva.
"But, if we don't leave now, we have to spend three more years with this agency… After three years, they might do something to make us renew the contracts!"
"… …"
"So what I'm doing now… I, I think it's right to do it now."
Keun Sejin wriggled his eyes. But he soon replied in a suitably cheerful tone.
"It would be nice if the lawsuit went well~ But if we can't be active for more than a year now, our careers will die."
"… … !"
"And… Even if we did win, I don't think any agency would dare to sign with us."
Keun Sejin finished his speech softly.
"We have to be so good that other agencies stand up against T1 to recruit us, but that's not possible~"
"… …"
"I think it would be nice to just make a good deal with the agency with this, recruit more staff for the dedicated team, and add clauses to the contract… How about that, everyone?"
Bae Sejin seemed to have a lot to say, but after recalling various expected answers, his complexion worsened as if he had been hit in advance.
'It turned out like this.'
I shook my head and spoke.
"First… Then let's have a show of hands. Who wants to start a lawsuit right now?"
Bae Sejin slightly raised his hand.
And Cha Eugene raised his hand in a flash.
"… … ."
"We will win!"
We weren't Americans, and I hated hiring a lawyer.
"Hey, Cha Eugene. You want to take a year off?"
"Even if we take a year off, we will do well. It's okay! We can do it again!"
It was a very positive, confident, yet unrealistic answer. Thanks.
"Then, who wants to stay at the agency and improve the environment?"
Of course, Keun Sejin raised his hand, and unexpectedly… Kim Raebin followed.
"There are a lot of great people in the company, so it would be nice to work together to improve…"
"… …"
In other words, it was very positive and unrealistic. Thanks.
Then, the only ones left were Ryu Chungwoo and Seon Ahyeon.
"What about you, Ahyeon?"
"I, I… E-either way, as long as everyone is comfortable and safe, I'm fine with anything… !"
"Okay."
It was like Seon Ahyeon.
"… Then, Chungwoo-hyung."
"… … I'm the same way. I wish we could file a lawsuit… But since we are a group, we should respect the careers of those with different opinions."
Ryu Chungwoo replied slowly.
"What do you think, Moondae?"
Me? Simple.
"… Wouldn't it be difficult to file a lawsuit right now?"
Even if it wasn't about my tour problem, the lawsuit was the opposite.
'It's gotten too big.'
At the moment when it was not a group problem, but a worker's human rights violation problem, large corporations would never try to leave a case in which they lose the lawsuit.
This was because TeStar's lawsuit remained as a precedent.
'After that, if the labor union filed a lawsuit, they'd go crazy.'
So, at this time when they were just watching, the only thing we could take care of by using provocation was to try not to damage the 'friendly relationship' while still pulling a punch.
'The company has to go in a way where it feels sorry for TeStar.'
Even if they were not actually sorry, they could make the most of the moment if they pretended to be like that.
But because of Bae Sejin's contribution, it was hard to say this openly… I turned it around.
"We don't know how public opinion will change tomorrow. Why don't we observe more and collect data so that we can file a lawsuit if the circumstances are right?"
"Secretly?"
"Yes."
Bae Sejin had a thoughtful face as he listened to the conversation, but soon nodded.
"… Okay. Okay. My opinion only… I can't argue… Because we are a te- a team!"
"… …"
It seemed that this guy was finally starting to taste the power of friendship like Seon Ahyeon in
'Well, that's a good thing.'
"A team~ TeStar, Come on~!"
"That's right, hyung!"
I shrugged, and barely managed to get back to what I was about to say.
"And how about taking care of the schedule that has already been set after looking at the atmosphere?"
"What?"
"Why, why… ?"
"There is also the issue of cancellation fees, and I thought the atmosphere would be better if we showed that the group is healthy."
"… …"
"You too?"
"Yes. Oh, of course, after my body has fully recovered. Once I'm healed."
I meant literally, without any bluffing. Thanks to the nectar, I could say this without hesitation.
"Hmm…"
"Especially, there are many people who have already made reservations for the tour, so it's better to go around as much as possible…"
"N-no!!"
"… !!"
What, what?
… Seon Ahyeon screamed.
I looked at him, but Seon Ahyeon stood firm even with his face turned red.
"Moo-Moondae needs to rest!"
"So after resting…"
"No, you need to rest a lot!"
No, that didn't make sense.
"Ahyeon is right, Moondae."
"I was wondering what you were talking about, but it was about the tour… Moondaemoondae, enjoy your bed more."
"… … ??"
"We're working hard to prepare for the next album, so don't worry."
"Hyung, live a long life!"
I wouldn't live long if they did this.
However, they were determined, and they stuck to the position that there was no room for negotiations.
It seemed that the impression of being in a coma for 18 days was too strong.
'I can't even tell them about the nectar…''
If I pretended to be crazy and talk about the status window, I could really see the future that would be added to my schedule, which would consist of counseling and hospitalization in a mental hospital.
While I was suffering from pain in my temple, Ryu Chungwoo spoke with a faint smile.
"And Moondae, the internal payment for the cancellation of the second half of the tour has already been completed."
"… … !"
These crazy guys.
This bastard patted me on the shoulder and spoke sweetly.
"Fans want you to be healthy without overdoing it… They'd prefer you to post only texts or photos from time to time."
"… …"
"Let's do that for a while."
"Yeah~ Hyung is right~"
"I will support you as you focus on restoring your health!"
Just like that… the tour flew away.
• * *
"… …"
I laid down in the hospital room they had left and reviewed the situation.
And I came to a conclusion.
It was shit.
'How can I get 400,000 audience members without a tour?'
Did I have to perform at least 40 pop-up concerts in Myeongdong or Neverland?
My head was tingling.
'… I can't even get angry since I knew they had good intentions.'
I sighed a few times and thought of various plans, but then I let go.
'I'll have to find out more about the audience conditions.'
And, I had to do something before that.
I turned on my smartphone, took a few pictures of myself, and picked out the best ones.
And I opened the social media account.
---------==
Hello Loviewer
It's Moondae (dog emoji)
I am eating well and doing well.
Thank you for waiting for me.
I will see you soon with a good look.
---------==
And I attached a picture and uploaded it.
'… It has been 21 days.'
I was a little nervous.
As expected, social media notifications began to be updated like crazy.
-It's Moondae!!!
- Thank you very much.
-♡♡♡♡ ㅠㅠ
-You have to be well, Moondae. Eat well, rest well, and sleep well…
└ Actually, don't sleep too much again. ㅋㅋㅋ
└ I will sue you no matter what
-You should be healthy and happy for a long time
"… …"
It was just a post with text only, but it seemed to have a warmth that seemed like a voice could be heard.
'It's a good thing.'
I smiled and looked at the comments.
And there were also some expectations.
'If the fans like it when I said I'll see them soon, this is proof…''
-It's okay if you don't come back right away. Health is the most important thing.
- Moondae, please take care of your body
"… …"
Even if they said this, they would probably want to see me in person…
That should be the case.
'This is driving me crazy.'
I shook my head and tossed my phone next to the pillow.
Ging, ging, ging!
Then the smartphone rang several times as if it had been planned.
'I just turned off notifications on social media.'
I was a little puzzled and picked up my smartphone.
I checked… it was a text.
[(Picture)]
About 20 pictures of familiar dogs arrived one after another.
"… …"
Wow, it was nice to see this.
'Hey, spit something out.'
If I was going to die anyway, it was better to grab a rotten straw.
