Real-time comments had increased tremendously.
- It's a concert, so let's choose cool
-#1
-#2#2#2 Please, cute.
-Will it count if I do both??
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so fun ㅋㅋㅋ
There were people who tried different numbers as a test, people who genuinely pushed one option, and most people who chose one just for fun.
Various stories were quickly updated so that the comment section exploded.
And the count on the electronic signboard went up quickly.
[TeStar]
1. Cool (2017)
2. Cute (1992)
The muttering of Park Moondae, who hadn't even appeared yet, was heard again.
[Hmm… It's very, very close. Thank you for your quick support.]
[The time limit is 3 minutes. From now on… 120 seconds left.]
Perhaps he hadn't expected the count to rise so passionately, there was a hint of embarrassment in Park Moondae's calm voice.
'Ah, so cute!'
The graduate student pounded the keyboard with both hands, then quickly raised the count herself.
-#1 TeStar is the best!
'Didn't Moondae want to do something cool at the concert?'
The graduate student was happy with her choice. It happened that there were slightly more people who chose #1!
But unfortunately for her, there was a bit of fiction mixed in.
This was because there were many people who chose number 1 among those who tried it as a test.
In addition, people who waited after signing up before the concert started and then connected right away… Quite a few were very passionate fans.
And the more deceased, the more often they made choices that were slightly separated from the general public.
- Hit 2 right now
- Loviewers who are watching TeStar's concert right now, hurry up and give your strength to number 2, #2, hurry up
-Fuck, let's have a fun party ㅠㅠ
The cool appearance of TeStar on stage was because there were numerous databases.
The cute stage could only be seen intermittently on concert surprise stages or social media, so they couldn't miss this opportunity.
'Official cute stage!!'
Fans pushed number 2 like crazy, and the result was…
[TeStar]
1. Cool (10286)
2. Cute (15601)
It won by a landslide victory.
- No way ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I feel sorry for those of you who don't know how cool TeStar is!
-Ha~~
-Okay, it won. Cuteness wins the world!
Park Moondae's voice was still calm, as he couldn't check the comments full of dog noises and laughter.
[The audience's choice is…
There was a bit of laughter mixed in, though.
[Well, I didn't expect it to be like this.]
'Cute!!'
It was a moment when the graduate student, who was a bit regretful about them not being able to do number 1, was willing to accept number 2.
[Then, 'cute'… Let's meet TeStar.]
The moment he finished speaking, the screen changed.
"Wow."
What appeared… It was a new stage.
It didn't look like the stage of the concert hall that TeStar rented.
And this new stage… It was like a high-quality kindergarten performance stage.
'Panel?'
Trees, the sea, tile-roofed houses, and stage props depicting the sun were gathered together to decorate the stage.
And on the bright stage that seemed like a children's fairy tale…
[I am… I like to play and sleep!]
She heard Cha Eugene's Korean narration, which was considerably more lively than usual.
Then, as the sparkling balloons burst onto the stage, TeStar poured out.
The shouts of children were inserted.
[Wow!]
All the TeStar members who ran out were dressed like they would be suitable for a children's traditional fairy tale play.
The coordination of the woodcutter, scholar, tiger, magpie, and goblin was slightly exaggerated theatrically and finished cutely.
Truly, it was a children's stage.
However, TeStar didn't care and started the performance steadfastly.
It was their intense title, 'Spring out', which had a Joseon steampunk concept.
- Permeating sense of the day
Enjoy this moment, gaze, premonition
Now without notice
Spring out
In the meantime, even the choreography was slightly changed to give a feeling of rhythm.
In a different sense, it was an intense opening.
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are these guys serious?
-TeStar cute cute ㅠㅠㅠ
- Really the best, cute, best choice
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the meantime, they're good at talking.
The audience laughed and commented on the bright and honest stage worthy of a real charity event.
However, some fans got a little nostalgic.
-It reminds me of an improvised stage at their previous concerts…
-They're trying to give us a similar feeling just because their tour was canceled. I'm really tearing up.
-The kids are cute, but I'm overjoyed by myself.
All of that mixed up and the real-time comment section became a total mess.
And similar things were repeated on social media and communities, and they were enjoying the effect of advertising.
-What are you all talking about?
- Is TeStar performing?
-Come see the free concert, guys.
-What are you talking about?
Even people who were not interested in idol donation concerts clicked on the link out of curiosity.
In the meantime, TeStar was performing well on stage.
It was fun and not too brazenly cute, but they still showed a bit of embarrassment.
-Hey, TeStar is working hard.
- You're really serious about the donation, guys.
-I picked number 1 ㅠㅠ (It's a lie)
And after seeing such an anomalous stage, people wondered what the other options might have been.
-Then what would the cool stage be like?? What the hell did they come up with?
- Any other options?
-I think it will come out in the next stage or something like that ㅋㅋㅋ
With some anticipation, people waited for a 'classic' and wonderful stage to follow.
But it was no joke.
[If you choose one side of the crossroads, you cannot go to the other side.]
[So the one that was not chosen is something that can never happen!]
These were the words that came after the members' awkward personal greetings after the stage was over.
Lee Sejin grinned and raised his index finger to make an X mark and brought it to the camera.
And the members also laughed, as if it was ridiculous, but they couldn't laugh at the comments.
-??
-Really?
- Hey, they said there is no such thing? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Ah~ Too bad! We prepared hard.]
[Still, the performance goes on. Let's continue to the next questions!]
People in the comments gradually realized the situation after listening to the members' lively voices.
-We have to give up one thing unconditionally.
-Hey TeStar madmen, do you have to go this far for a donation concert?
- Will you release it on the other side of the internet?? Yes.?
Everyone tried to think rationally, saying 'there's no way they'd just throw away what they had prepared', but then they saw in front of them TeStar, who performed only the choices that were chosen by fans and moved on.
Either way, the end!
Thanks to this, the voting started to become overheated.
[This winter]
1. Going to the snowy winter sea
2. Drinking warm cocoa at home
The stage of the electronic voting board had returned.
Now, comments were beginning to actively persuade others.
-Ah, Cocoa is unconditional ㅋㅋ Don't cross the line.
- Let's do the winter sea, the stage will be crazy
-Should I watch the boring telecommuting at the concert?
-I think a stage with the dorm will come out. Please give us cocoa.
This time, after a close battle with more than 50,000 votes, Winter Sea eventually won with 30,000 votes.
[Oh~ Such a result!]
[This is a great choice.]
And the scene transitioned.
The members sang while sitting on the floor in a dreamily swaying silver-gray stage.
It was 'Picnic' with more delicate notes arranged to fit the vocal performance.
-It has nothing to do with the weather forecast.
It's the day I want to meet you
If you walk lightly
Blue sky today
It was a cool and beautiful acappella.
Taking advantage of the advantages of a virtual concert, softly rippling silvery blue waves soaked the screen with a beautiful song.
At the climax, the stage ended lingeringly with dramatic chords led by Park Moondae.
-It was good…
-Ahhhhhhh, it was a good choice.
-TeStar has a lot of good songs.
Every time a fun or impressive stage was piled up, people became more immersed in the concert, praising themselves for their choice or wondering about other options.
Even people who were just watching illegal transmissions on WeTube because they were annoyed by the unpopular platform became interested in voting and came in.
-Choose the 2nd choreography video, cringe in the MV #2
-If you choose a dog, then Moon Puppy, if you choose a cat, Cha Kitty will be the center, no way?
-Can I put # and post it?
-No fun
-Wow, this time, it's really neck and neck
There were some people who tried to make a fuss, but it was meaningless.
Comments were not visible to TeStar anyway, and there was nothing to affect other than choosing one of the options and adding a number.
However, the real-time reflection and selection were stimulating, so it was just very fun.
People chose various options such as 'Dog VS Cat', 'Hotteok VS Yakgwa', and 'Magic VS Baseball'.
Some options seemed to openly push the side connected to TeStar and they wondered what other options had to do with the alternative stage.
However, no matter what they chose, their doubts were dispelled when they saw the stage and laughter or admiration came out.
-We were choosing a cover song.
-Baseball = Hi-five. Oh, baseball uniform Chungwoo is always so good
-Hotteok ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Fuck, will they do an eating show?
Ingenious screenshots and GIF files were produced in real-time and circulated on social media.
And TeStar didn't forget the interim commercials either.
[Give your tomorrow to achieve their dreams, who have never left the hospital rooms.]
Through cooperation with the Child Welfare Foundation, hopeful donation request talks were entered.
It was to remind people that this was a donation concert, and it was quite effective.
Since the timing of receiving donations was set, the donations exploded all at once.
And the firecracker effect that floated every time it exploded constantly covered the comment window and encouraged participation, so even people who wouldn't normally donate tried donating.
-Awesome
- Hey, they're sophisticated
- Saturday leisure life~
That was when people fully got used to this system and flow.
[This time… The choices are for the special stage.]
[I look forward to it… !]
The phrase on the billboard that came to mind after Seon Ahyeon's soft voice was completely unexpected by the audience.
[The special performance]
1. VTIC songs covered by TeStar
2. TeStar songs covered by VTIC
Suddenly, another group appeared in the view.
-???
-What is this?
-Hey, is this real?
-Why is VTIC here?
But soon people figured out the situation.
- ㅋㅋㅋ If we choose number 2, TeStar will pretend to be VTIC.
-Ah, they thought it would be funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Are we going to be listening to a song by TeStar arranged in a VTIC way? It's funny ㅋㅋ
-Is TeStar coming out to apologize to the public?
Since most of TeStar fans were watching it, of course, they expected it to be number 1.
The problem was that as the board grew, so did the pool of spectators.
There was no way the audience, who had already enjoyed the choice format, would miss this funny prey.
-Hey, let's do number two
-I wonder what to choose ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They must be very shy? ㅋㅋ #2
-#2, the answer is #2~~
In addition, fans who wanted to make fun of TeStar joined, and the trend slanted to number 2.
Of course, some fans were restless at the fighting feeling.
'If they do this wrong, they'll be criticized for using VTIC…?'
'Oh, this is close…'
But after 3 minutes…
Without even time to overturn public opinion, the conclusion came out.
TeStar song covered by VTIC (71432)
It was a two-time victory.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Now, what are you going to do, TeStar?
-Wow, we really won twice ㅋㅋ
-Look forward to it, guys.
And when that mischievous expectation was inflated to its maximum…
[Ah… It's like this.]
[I know, right.]
The narration flowed out of the exchange of conversation.
But it wasn't a voice fans had heard before.
-?
-Does TeStar regret it? ㅋㅋㅋ
Non-TeStar fans laughed and commented, but actual TeStar fans were a little taken aback.
'This…'
The voice wasn't from a TeStar member.
And after a while…
Instead of changing the stage illuminated by the screen, the display board suddenly opened.
"… !!"
Then, from a black backstage, four figures walked out of the dry ice.
-Oh my god
-Hey, wait
-No way
'Maybe' was correct.
In fact, VTIC made a cameo appearance at the TeStar concert.
-Crazy
To this unexpected and dramatic development, the audience's reaction began to explode.
