Chapter 271

Were they making their own documentary?

'Oh my gosh.'

Kim Raebin's fan, who seemed to be upset at the mere sight of the word 'documentary' felt sorry for a moment.

'Hey, this is a little…'

Weren't they trying to start a provocation?

However, this thought did not last long and disappeared beneath the surface.

It was because TeStar in the reappearing screen looked very friendly.

Perhaps it was because the person who was filming the members lying on the floor with shaky hands during the morning touched her.

[Let's eat.]

[Wow… I feel sleepy.]

[… I want to eat meat.]

"…??"

So, rather than just looking close… It was just that their actions were plain and real, without purpose or exaggeration.

There were many videos of TeStar that were well processed through the planning and editing of producers.

Even there, TeStar were individuals and revealed their own personalities, but it was the first time she had faced the feeling of them not being conscious of the public.

Diririring-

The slow accompaniment was… It was Kim Raebin's 'Magic is You' acoustic guitar that came out just before.

The live sound of the raw, almost unmixed sound resonated on the scene.

[Hmm.]

[Not sure?]

[A little bit.]

Between the cuts practicing the choreography for the concert, they gathered together and monitored.

Eating ice cream in a hotel room while blankly watching foreign broadcasts.

In a hotel in another country, they played board games and threw cards at each other.

[Haha!]

The laughter of the person holding the camera echoed over the guitar. The screen shook.

Short videos followed.

"… …"

Kim Raebin's fan was watching the video without thinking about anything else.

And she didn't even realize that she was like that.

After dancing, throwing and receiving objects, dyeing their hair, and coming off the stage, the screen jumped along with the members laughing and running.

And when the accompaniment passed the bridge and entered the climax…

Whoa…

The concert preparations and after-party photos they took of themselves passed through the video like a panorama.

A picture of everyone holding firecrackers at the beach, Park Moondae grilling meat at an after-party, and Lee Sejin shaking a drink.

Cha Eugene smiled as he climbed onto the rehearsal stage….

It was just TeStar's countless hours, not knowing when or how it was filmed.

In addition to activities, the fact that they shared a lot of time on their own, on one screen and one connection, poured in like a huge meteor shower…

"… …"

The audience became deafeningly silent with the intermittent screams gone.

And, it was only then that Kim Raebin's fan was able to let out an internal scream.

'This… You despicable bastards!!'

She was already soaked in melancholy.

Fans of the group, who generously cut off the other documentary to save Cha Eugene, were probably shedding tears while watching the broadcast.

And somehow, she also felt her nose starting to run.

It was strange that the concert venue's atmosphere was so heated up.

"Ha… …"

She admitted that she was unfamiliar with herself, who had become full of emotions.

'Okay, I'll get through it for now…'

It wouldn't last long, but given the magic of the concert and this kind of atmosphere, of course, it had to be effective.

'The atmosphere will improve for a while after the concert ends…'

However, the preparations of the members did not end there.

[Prepare for an encore]

Under the subtitles that appeared in the video, a silent scene of the members ordering and eating chicken in the studio while talking passed by.

And even entering the recording booth in comfortable clothes.

[In other countries, they sang famous songs in that country. Therefore… I think it would be good in Korea as well.]

The screen where there was a short memo handwritten turned black again.

The soft sound of the guitar reached its climax and subdued.

And there were subtitles.

[Celebrating the birth of TeStar members]

[200X]

[The year when all of TeStar was in Korea, the song that most people listened to]

The stage opened, and dry ice was gently pushed out, awakening the smell of the stage.

And instead of the medley from a lyrical accompaniment rich in melody began to flow.

"… !"

It was a familiar and good melody.

It was a carol-sampling song released at the end of the year when Cha Eugene and Kim Raebin, the youngest members of TeStar, were born.

[Getting better]

Arranged as a Korean-style ballad, the carol beautifully rang the venue.

And on the open stage floor, the lift slowly rose from under the dry ice.

The members, dressed in neat winter casual clothes, were standing on top of it.

Bae Sejin, wearing a coat, took up the microphone first.

-When an insignificant mistake becomes a wound

When it seems like it's about to collapse at a small wound

The voice that wasn't too technical was somehow sincere.

-I just sit by the window

And I think of myself in the next year

Seon Ahyeon raised a clear bass note.

And Lee Sejin added chords and sang the next line.

- On the same day in the same season

When I suddenly think and look back

The orchestra sounded. The live band, which had been making a strong sound throughout the concert, stopped the electronic instruments and piled up the notes with soft string and keyboard instruments.

A clear, strong voice rose above them.

- This gloomy day

Becomes fertilizer in my heart

Sharp pains

Become my solid screw

It was Park Moondae's voice. A hard sound came from within the guy with the pink hair.

A nice chord was connected up and down. Ryu Chungwoo's mid-bass took center stage.

-Go downstairs and eventually

On the day I will be

Cha Eugene sang the last verse with a smile on his face.

-I'll be fine

It was a voice that sounded somewhat relieved.

"… … Ah."

The lyrics and mood of the song, the video of the documentary.

Everything came together and created a crazy synergy.

'These children… They've worked really hard.'

The strange sound of holding back tears could be heard intermittently under the acoustics from here and there in the audience seats.

Kim Raebin's fan tried to think of it as if she was trying hard to keep her cool.

It was self-torture. She felt like it was the same as the Internet meme that pretended not to be moved and held back crying.

- You will be fine

The song was developed truthfully and affectionately without excessive embellishment.

Fans were waving their light sticks slowly from all sides, along with twinkling lights.

The melody of the sampled carol spread through humming.

-Du- durururudu-

As if immersed in the depths of the warm sea, the audience was immersed in the performance between the harmony of sound and light.

-Happy new year to you

I know you'll be okay.

With a moderate bass note, the song finished.

"… …"

'It's a scam.'

Kim Raebin's fan muttered as she watched the close-up of the members' smiles with their microphones down on the electronic display board.

'Just… They're sucking up the concert to the bone..'

Maybe it was because she was a personal fan herself, but she felt that she had been victimized somehow.

It felt like all the emotions were sucked out of her body.

'Do you like TeStar that much, you guys… Raebin…'

Seeing Kim Raebin, who was wearing a cute white padding, holding hands and greeting the members, she felt a complex sense of defeat…

Unlike before, there were many fans who had won over their idol, but it wasn't like that right now.

However, Kim Raebin's fan once again made up her mind.

'But it's just a moment! And then, next week, things will fall out again…'

[Thank you for listening.]

[How was the song we prepared?]

"It was great!!"

"Wow!!"

She couldn't help it. It was the reaction of the audience.

The members smiled with expectant faces, then came down from the lift and turned around in formation.

[The next encore song will start right away.]

'With those clothes??'

In front of Kim Raebin's fan, who stopped thinking and questioned, she could see the members throwing their winter coats.

It was a typical stage outfit. Leather pants and a white linen shirt.

"Oooo!!"

It was also typical, but it worked well.

While screams poured out at the guys who took off their gloves and hats and threw them away, the lights went out.

And then began a ringing sweet intro.

It was 'Wheel (Day)'.

-Turn the wheel

To fly away

The melody resonates and is beautiful

It touches my heart, let it pop

'What?'

That song… They did it earlier.

Well, it was a good stage to watch several times (maybe because it was a song made by a certain someone), but it was true that it was a bit suspicious.

-Turn the wheel

To come to your dreams

Stay like this today

It won't end, let me in

And to say that the costume was for 'Wheel', it had a slightly pungent taste.

It was unbalanced.

'Mmm.'

Did they wear that because they were in a hurry to prepare?

It was the moment when Kim Rabin's fan was about to cool down a bit…

-Flying now

Whi-whee-whee-whee!

"… !!"

Suddenly, a familiar whistle cut into the song.

And naturally, the strong bass and beat hit the song…

It dropped like a lie.

-Jump off

Don't need a parachute

Just run

'It's Drill!!'

Yes. The refrain of their double title song 'Drill (Night)' consumed the song in an instant.

In the meantime, the stage where the members were standing was changed to strong pinpoint lighting instead of the faint and refreshing feeling of Wheel.

In the leather pants they were wearing, the invisible luminous paint smeared in black flashed in the light.

And the point choreography of 'Drill' began without mercy.

"What!!"

And only then did everyone understand the situation.

-Come in

(let me in)

These guys, they merged the two titles into one song and remixed it!!

And subtitles appeared for those who were watching this scene through the broadcast.

TeStar – 'Daybreak' (Wheel + Drill)

It was the title of a new song.

-I didn't think the challenge was a notice for a new song

-Genius idols. They're crazy

-Are they crazy? Are they crazy?

-I like the song; What's the matter?

Even while the people watching the broadcast were talking, the song ran like crazy.

And for the chorus, the two songs were completely mixed to create a new line.

-Like a drill

Dig in and catch you

Yes it is beautiful

It touches my heart, let it pop

She didn't know what they did, but the atmosphere of the two was mixed wonderfully without dying.

The structure of Wheel', which was nice to listen to but somewhat boring, and 'Drill', which was intense but somewhat excessive, fit together like a puzzle.

In addition, the members maintained that delicate balance in a ridiculous way.

The stage was intense, but there was a refreshing feeling of carbonation somewhere, but at the same time, it burst with a humorous taste.

-Turn my ferris wheel around

Lights that explode like stars

There was a pleasure in filtering out the 'best ones' to see only the scenes that received a good response from the two choreographies.

"Aaaagh!!"

Kim Raebin's fan screamed, but she couldn't be heard.

Because her surroundings were already full of screams.

Adrenaline bursted from a pleasant sense of surprise and satisfaction, and the tension maximized in contrast to the previous stage tightened the audience.

-Enjoy the moment

That's my thrill, ha!

In a group choreography formation that fitted together like a knife, Cha Eugene's satisfying chanting and tumbling were put into the venue coolly.

Aaaagh!

"Uhhhh…"

Kim Rabin's fan spit as if she was going to die, but eventually admitted it.

It seemed that it would be a very distant future for the concert atmosphere to fall out.

• * *

The first day of the TeStar Seoul encore concert had ended.

After that, an hour and a half later, the internet situation was like this.

-As expected, their main job is important no matter what ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-TeStar, how outrageous this is? Usually, combining two songs is a diagnosis of incongruity. It is not easy to match different songs like this.

└ That's right and 'Good + Good = Better' <- In official songs, there are many cases where it doesn't fit due to flow problems, but how did they do it this time;;

-The stage was fucking good

'It's good.'

It seemed to have pulled out all the desired effects.

Now, people who were satisfied with the quality of the stage just needed to maintain a truce mood, citing the clumsy documentary we filmed as the reason.

And it seemed like it was already coming true.

-TeStar is… they're family…

-How did the seven of them manage to come together? I'm so moved that I'm crying. TeStar Forever..☆

The voices of the group's fans grew louder.

'Originally, people become relaxed when they are satisfied.'

I shrugged and put down my phone.

"Did everything turn out the way you wanted it to?"

"Yes."

"Sit down and eat meat, Park Moondae!"

I sat down and ate a late dinner, just as Bae Sejin, who was drunk and brave, spoke.

And I thought of a relief hitter that would come before this concert ended.

'We did everything we had to do.'

It reduced fatigue and gave a sense of justification and satisfaction.

So what was the next step? It was a battle with the enemy.

And just in time, the right ones came along.

A comparison target that would make fans say things like 'We're still better than them' and 'Looking back, we were fairies.'

And at the same time… there was an enemy outside.

I remembered the article I checked just before.

[ Season 3 first stage release]

It was the new season of .

The season of male idols, not female idols. They would be direct subordinates of TeStar.

'If we can prevent the leakage of fandom, external enemies like this are rare.'

I shrugged.

Let's see what happens.
