Chapter 244

The translucent pop-up that appeared was bursting with fanfare.

[Successful meeting!]

You have succeeded in meeting an audience of '400,000 people'!

!Timeout: Satisfied (Success)

!Status Abnormality: 'If you are not an audience, death' has been removed!

With just one online free concert, the abnormal condition of having to reach 400,000 spectators was removed.

It was worth It.

Since the appearance of VTIC, the number of votes had reached almost 300,000.

And I personally saw the count go up on the display board. It was no different from seeing the audience's reaction in real-time.

'I thought this would be recognized.'

What's more, the platform allowed people to watch videos without signing up. People who tried to pass the time would have watched without signing up.

It was said that there were many non-platform members among VTIC's overseas fandom, so the actual number of visits was obviously… it would have been awesome.

Among them, making 300,000 subscribers who would actively participate in real-time performances would have been a risk with TeStar alone.

"…"

So, the basic plan to bring in VTIC had been successful enough.

Although the result came out with a slightly different importance than my prediction.

: Check 'Truth' ☜ Click!

The coin option was gone.

'I thought it would be the default now.'

It meant that the last coin was an irregular option.

'… Did it predict the accident?'

I had a strange thought.

To be precise, this system dared to figure out the risk that the former manager could commit nonsense and defend against him.

'I think it's fitting here that the same 'audience status abnormality had been called and reappeared

Once more

Since the worth of the coin appeared in something that should have only 'verified the truth', it seemed that the same status abnormality was performed once more to return to the original place.

At that time, I remembered the abnormal phenomenon of the status window where all sorts of status abnormalities popped out and then disappeared crackling.

'Something like an error must have occurred.'

To interpret this… It meant that even if there was an error with the status window, it had deviated from the path to give me a coin somehow.

'But why?'

So far, I had never found a trace of emotion and intelligence in this system.

However, starting with manipulation of the draw probability, this… What was the big trend that could be interpreted as favor?

"… …"

After a quick thought, I came to a conclusion.

'It wants me to clear the abnormalities.'

I wondered if this status window was implemented to somehow survive and clear this crazy situation.

Because the guy who didn't have a status window, how many times…

"What are you looking at?"

"… …!"

When I raised my head, Cheongryeo was carefully looking into my gaze.

I responded reflexively.

"I thought about it for a while."

"Is that so?"

He replied nonchalantly, then turned his eyes and stared in the empty direction I had briefly looked at.

Therefore… Where the status window was.

'Fuck.'

I inadvertently closed the pop-up.

However, since there was no way to see it, he was laughing without much agitation.

He just read my gaze.

'I glanced at it briefly but he was still able to notice?'

He was a man with an extraordinary sense since he had lived many times.

'…He asked if I got what I wanted.'

I threw away unnecessary tension and gave a standard answer.

"It seems to have worked out well. The performance."

"Is that so? Good for you."

Cheongryeo nodded his head to see if I understood the meaning properly.

And he held out his hand.

"Today was fun."

"… … Yes.".

He was confident.

I held out my hand and shook his hand. The gloves were cold.

"I hope you will continue to work hard for the rest of the performance~"

"Fighting."

The VTIC guys grinned and joined the handshake. They seemed to think that this friendship had deepened through this opportunity.

And it seemed that some of us felt the same way.

For example, Kim Raebin, who discovered the Gearco arrangement program.

"I hope the seniors have a comfortable way home…! Thank you so much for the guidance!"

"Aigoo, it seems like you've learned something new~"

"We're going overseas now, but thank you. Let's go safely!"

"Yes! Thank you~"

"Thank you!"

It ended warmly with several handshakes.

Indeed, we didn't fight, and there was no way that workers in the same industry who didn't know when they'd see each other again wouldn't end warmly.

If there was a problem, it'd be only between us, but the fandom was another problem.

'The Internet… It's going to be a mess.'

Right now, the fandoms had definitely changed hands. One side would not be able to win one-sidedly.

So, even in the worst case, I hoped that it would end would them saying that both sides fought over each other at the charity event.

"Sejin-ah, there are 4 minutes left to vote on the screen."

"I'll go!"

Bae Sejin, who was in charge of guiding the next vote, ran through the hallway. As VTIC, which was like a thorn in the eye, disappeared, his movements became more extreme.

I roughly expected that reaction to the performance, and just shrugged my shoulders when I saw it.

'Let's do the rest of the stage well.'

The stage where we had to spurt fake blood from our mouths was next. Let's take care of quality first.

And it soon turned out that this decision was a good one.

• * *

TeStar's donation concert ended in great success.

[Total donation amount for this concert]

[!! ₩252,096,000 !!]

[Thank you for your warm participation and warm affection.]

The real-time participation donation amount exceeded 140 million, and the highest real-time simultaneous entrance exceeded 1.12 million.

The platform wiped away a cold sweat, saying that the temporary server expansion investment was not in vain.

Public reaction was also very favorable.

-Oh my god

-It was a lot of fun, really ㅋㅋㅋ

-I donated 10,000 won, but it feels really good.

- I wish they could do this more often

-TeStar, the kids are really good. Do they have Instagram? I want to follow them

First of all, everyone who saw it was happy, and they liked it even more when they heard that the stages would be uploaded one by one on YouTube.

Selling full videos on the platform was also able to go smoothly without much resistance. Individual stages could be viewed for free.

-Yes, they have to do that to make a living

-TeStar had a hard time~

-VTIC was really cool. Support the friendship between the two groups! *^^*

The purchase rate was also good because fans wanted to see all the interesting points that went into the whole video.

In addition, one more piece of news broke out on social media.

[TeStar donated as much as the audience donated! (picture)]

[The amount raised will be delivered safely under the name of .]

That was, TeStar added an additional amount equal to the number of donations made by the audience.

In the photo, TeStar was smiling after they had just finished their performance, holding a billboard with sweat on their faces.

It was a clean finish without any places to criticize with the public saying things like 'why are they using the audience's money?'

No, in fact, the additional donation was a bit of an excessively 'kind' act to the extent that it didn't seem necessary.

But there were reasons for this decision.

It was because the community that was deeply interested in idols were already talking about VTIC and TeStar.

At first, it was a compliment to the stage.

Thanks to VTIC's unexpected appearance and overwhelming performance, they almost monopolized popular articles and dominated the Internet.

[Like an idol cover of 9 years]

[Idols who showed the dignity of the 1st place group properly]

[VTIC – Coming soon]

Numerous comments were posted, and even the nuance of direct comparison was reached, such as 'It's better than the original TeStar song' or 'TeStar is still better'.

However, after TeStar came out, the atmosphere changed slightly.

-Wow, TeStar is good

-I like this feeling ㅋㅋ

-Both are really good at planning

-Main vocal… Ha… This feeling

While TeStar digested VTIC's songs in a fresh way, the nuance of head-to-head confrontation was eliminated, and the feeling of a 'connected setlist' was further enhanced.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere that was trying to burn with comparisons had subsided, but instead, fans who wanted to hurt each other's feelings and trolls who want to take advantage of it had popped up out of nowhere.

-It feels like TeStar was trying to compare VTIC's songs to something on an old-fashioned radio, or something like that…

└Singing along with that song was a bit of a shame not to mention it ㅋㅋ Anyone can see they were respectful

└It's an 80's concept, so the clothes the kids wear were old-fashioned. What are you talking about?

└Why are the fans so silent? I heard that they felt that way

└It feels like you're a hater

-To be honest, just looking at the scale of the stage, VTIC's was bigger, but it was a little… ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I felt uncomfortable because it seemed like they were trying to win.

└ If they just did a small-scale one, you would have said that they were insincere and uncomfortable

└I'm sorry, the TeStar fans must have been hurt because our kids performed so well ㅠㅠ

└From now on, I will tell my juniors to refrain from showing off my skills so as not to embarrass them!

└Wow, the dog slaughter ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Please stop, they did everything well, so why are you doing this, please…

It was because all sorts of exaggerated interpretations and ridiculous and ridiculous speculations about TeStar intentions and VTIC's intentions circulated behind the scenes.

The atmospheree of wanting the two big fandoms to fight somehow and the atmosphere of trying to dispel it were tightly opposed.

The two fandoms, who were already conscious of each other, couldn't help but find the other extremely annoying while enjoying the stage.

"Oh, I'm so mad!!"

Here, too, in the comments of the article, a college student who was pissed off after fighting with a VTIC fan was screaming.

She was a fan of Kim Raebin who admitted to putting Park Moondae in her second place.

- They couldn't handle it, but the ones who invited them as guests were the only ones who couldn't handle it… ㅠㅠ

└ I guess it was a loss to be here as a guest. Even if they had all the backup dancers, they were behind

└ Do you have no eyes? Anyone can see that the guest side did well;

"Everything is obvious, bastard."

The fan of Kim Raebin gritted her teeth and commented, "Why are TICAs so filthy?"

└The guest is just about to stand out, so I can't help it.

But at the same time, it felt like they were commenting on this aspect of 'skill'.

'The atmosphere has changed a bit with this.'

In fact, TeStar's recent image was closer to 'an unfortunate victim'. Being active was also an image that would have comments like 'great' rather than 'cool'.

The story of their accident was much bigger than TeStar as idols.

And, it was the same with VTIC.

The memo on the social side, the poor remaining members, or the image of a suspiciously declining group were stuck.

However, the images obtained through all those aspects of society were blown away by this topic.

Instead, both groups became hot topics with their main jobs.

Everyone was interested in these groups and had an opinion about 'who did better'.

They became popular in the idol sense.

All of these conflicts were similar to those of extremely popular idols.

'That's kind of funny, but…'

└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Loviewers are doing too much~

"You bastard!!"

Kim Raebin's fan immediately canceled her comment and put a comment under it.

'Was it a TICA? The fan mall is still the same. Aren't they embarrassed?'

And she felt it.

'If one thing goes wrong with this, the real game will start.'

Right now, the two fandoms would not be able to annoy each other.

Kim Raebin's fan's intuition was that they must be frantic to dig up dirty rumors about the other group somewhere.

'Oh, it's going to hurt!'

The moment she clicked her tongue.

Ding!

[Hello, I am Moondae… ]

"… !?"

A notification popped up on social media. It was TeStar's account.

"Hey, Park Moondae!"

Kim Raebin's fan abandoned the keyboard battle and immediately clicked the notification.

---------==

Hello, I am Moondae (Emoji)

It was a pleasant concert. I have a lot of great photos, so I'm going to share some of the ones I took.

Thank you to the Loviewers and all the audience members who watched.

---------==

And the photos attached to the bottom of the post… It was VTIC.

"Hey!!"

She screamed.

'It's like losing! He should wait for VTIC to upload first… …'

And immediately calmed down. This was because Park Moondae released the photos of TeStar themselves in the next post.

"Kim Raebin is handsome."

She saved the photo of Kim Raebin clumsily winking while wearing bandages for the stage.

'Well, yes. Rather, VTIC will become more insolent and naïve than their juniors.'

She went through the pictures of VTIC with the utmost coolness.

'Ah, Park Moondae is so annoying for taking really good pictures!'

In particular, Cheongryeo's self-portrait seemed to be better than some fansites!

Of course, thanks to that, he was able to avoid giving VTIC's fans the right to say 'I think he uploaded a picture that didn't come out on purpose.

'They'll upload some more self-portraits.'

While grumbling for nothing, she was looking forward to saving the edited photos from the hands of various fans.

And something similar was happening with a lot of fans.

It wasn't an era where the proposition "I like it because my idol likes it" was used, but it had the effect of arousing the atmosphere.

This was because the opinions of people shouting 'Look, good event, don't miss a great stage!' could be expressed with strength and emotion.

Even reluctant recognition came out from behind the scenes.

-What does Moondae know?

-It's reassuring that he's on our side

-Thank you for the pictures

The Internet went into a truce for a while after new pictures were uploaded.

In addition, a notice appeared on the official TeStar account.

It was new content from the performances. About the 'abandoned options'.

[We have prepared for you who are curious about other options of TeStar.]

[1 p.m. on the last Wednesday of September. Stay tuned to CVN!]

Details were not revealed, but it was clear that they were also promoting TeStar's new program!

"…They did a good job."

It was because the agency was incompetent like shit, and they laid flat and let the group do their work on their own.

Kim Raebin's personal fan, rarely at a loss for words, alternately looked at the new content and pictures taken by Park Moondae.

However, the person who planned all of this was not busy monitoring with a comfortable mind as usual.

"Because we have to make a choice."

"… Yes."

"Whether it's a lawsuit or the next activity.'

Instead, he was engaged in a full discussion with the leader about what to do next.
