TeStar's roommate content was mainly short videos that ended in one or two episodes.
But now, in addition to the big number of episodes, there were zombies too?
Even if you couldn't analyze the specific reason, it came intuitively.
'This… It'll be fun!'
Expectations were bound to rise for content that would be fun to expect, even if the reactions would be simple.
The thumbnail and titles had the magic that would make people click on the video, even those who thought that they would watch it on the weekend' and then forget about it.
It was the same for the graduate student.
After she went home, washed, and tidied up, she intended to replay it with a reverent heart, but she just played the video on the subway.
'Thank you, Bluetooth earphones!'
The first thing she heard was an elegant string instrument classic.
Dandadandadara~
[Today's story]
[Researcher: Through the scientific method! We will find and match the most suitable roommates between you all.]
[TeStar: Wow! (Glitter)]
Then, along with a bright recorder BGM somewhere, TeStar came out with their eyes shining and clapping their hands.
[TeStar's curiosity and joy…]
[Kim Raebin (cute maknae): It is an amazing experience. I think I'II get to know myself more deeply!]
[Seon Ahyeon (Flower deer): Wouldn't this be warmer… ?]
However, with black subtitles and bleak sound effects, the atmosphere changed completely.
[Sublimated into a zombie!]
[Kim Raebin: Ahhh!]
[Lee Sejin (Deep voice): Ack!]
Kim Raebin screaming in the air vent, Ryu Chungwoo sliding with a laser gun, and Cha Eugene clinging to furniture in the dark passed by.
Lastly, the members ran through the smoky hallway with flickering lights.
[TeStar: Ouch!!]
[↑ Fooled by the producers again]
"Heh."
The graduate student hurriedly shut her mouth. It was so funny, but she couldn't make a sound, so she felt like her stomach would explode.
[♡ Always makes shooting fun ♡]
'Hold on! Be patient!'
She didn't want to become a subway lunatic, so she took a deep breath as best she could.
Still, she couldn't take her eyes off the video. Because it was already fun!
Now, the video was subtitled with a magnificent OST parodying the opening of a famous sci-fi classic movie.
[May XX, a research institute in lIsan]
[The TeStar members, who are in this season to rearrange their roommates, gather together again (in fact, they are always together), recalling the previous three roommate assignments. However, there is a conspiracy of the evil production team lurking here…]
In the background of the black universe, the highlights of past roommate videos passed by.
Bae Sejin, who was swindled, Cha Eugene, who won first place, and Park Moondae, who threw a card and chased Lee Sejin…
Then, TeStar, standing in a white indoor space with excited faces, appeared on the screen.
[Lee Sejin: Everyone~ What is the content we are going to do today?]
[Ryu Chungwoo: Let's say it together.]
[TeStar: 'Roommates are science!']
As expected of idol content, the first episode faithfully filled in the psychological test results. It was something fans would be curious about, so they didn't leave it out.
[Chinchilla VS Rabbit: Who is stronger?]
[Bae Sejin: (Pupils shaking) Wouldn't the rabbit be stronger? It also has teeth.]
[Members who do not lose their professionalism despite a series of strange problems]
The question didn't seem credible anywhere she looked, but since she already knew they were going to be struck by zombies, even that was funny.
And it was always nice to see the members arguing or collaborating with each other in response.
[Cha Eugene: Chinchillas have teeth too!]
[Bae Sejin: (Effect of flying into space)]
- So cute ♡♡
-All of the kids are very new to the idea
-Why is the youngest so excited?
-If someone goes to a fansign, ask them this question again
-Moondae, you're so smart, aren't you a genius? How did you come up with another animal there?
By the way, the last comment was one made by the graduate student. This was how she solved the inability to scream.
'Ahh!'
She thought she was slipping smoothly into a deep fan life, but it was still a normal enough choice.
Episode 1 showed the warm and humorous taste of idol content deeply enough to make her forget about the zombies before she even knew it, but…
The foretold reversal steadily popped out in the second half without going beyond the first episode.
[Researcher: Ack!]
[He fell down… ?]
Clap. Bang!
The blockade of the office with iron gates was spectacularly edited and passed by.
The fast and thrilling effect made even the viewer nervous, and made them focus on knowing all the sudden changes in the situation.
However, TeStar, who quickly gathered in the center and stuck to each other as soon as it happened, was cute.
[TeStar: … ?]
[Suddenly, zombies.]
The situation came to a comical conclusion with TeStar realizing that they had been tricked while remaining frozen trying to figure out what the hell this was all about.
[Lee Sejin: Director!!]
Real-time chatting had exploded.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Camera director, come out ㅋㅋ
-They're looking for a producer right away.
- They've been tricked ㅋㅠ
-Stop photoshopping BaeSe into a hamster. It's too funny.
-Oh, it's fun.
[Unexpected Zombie Lab Escape!]
[How will TeStar deal with it?]
And what was added after this was TeStar's personal interview data.
[Kim Raebin / Rapper / Age 20 / Rabbit born on November 11, 200X]
[He's a clumsy rabbit in this area, but he's a worker of the times]
[Counselor: According to the score distribution, he is very sincere and kind, and he is a person with a clear ego. The synergy of meeting good feedback and advice will be very good.]
On the screen, Kim Raebin in the last TeStar variety show passed by, and it was compared to the performance that Kim Raebin showed in Zombie Escape.
It was mainly an eccentricity of him estimating the perfect hotteok dough weight with one hand.
Fans bursted out laughing at the cute explanation with a real rabbit instead of a medieval rabbit, but the video didn't stop.
[Cha Eugene / Center / 21 years old / Born on March 06, 200X, a tiger (self-proclaimed name)]
[Sense of agility and wildness, the alley leader of this district]
The introduction method was somehow similar to the introduction of members in a heist movie style, such as all-stars gathering to steal jewels, so it made the atmosphere more lively.
And finally, the graduate student's favorite came out.
'Moondae!'
[Park Moondae / Main vocalist / Age 22 / Puppy born on December 15, 200X]
'He's a puppy!!!'
The graduate student was moved by nothing.
[Bright ideas and judgment, a Tibetan fox in this area]
[Counselor: He has a strong introverted tendency, but he is a mature person who has developed many extroverted elements. So I think he uses both factors appropriately when making a judgment.]
[Counselor: However, he is a bit of a perfectionist. (laugh)]
On the data screen, Park Moondae's face passed by as he seriously calculated the number of hotteok and drinks he had sold so far.
'Oh, he's so cute…'
The graduate student was happy to check the real-time chat.
-Park Moondae is the best puppy and does not receive objections
-Moondae is always sincere in his work.
-The production team better take care of the Tibetan fox
The last of the introductions, going up in reverse order of their birthdays, was Ryu Chungwoo.
'Uh? It's February 7th for Bae Sejin… If Chungwoo is October 28th, isn't Bae Sejin the eldest?'
The graduate student wondered at the order, recalling the screen that had just passed by, but thought it was because Ryu Chungwoo was the leader and moved on.
[Reliable leader, dazzling survivability]
[Counselor: He has a strong independent personality, and it is impressive that he is in the position of an inclusive leader.]
[Counselor: He is very stable.]
In the data screen, Ryu Chungwoo, smiling while taking care of the members with a normal face, passed by all kinds of horror-related content.
And the main story came back.
[Cha Eugene: Wait, wait!! There's a door behind here!]
The video ended completely with the members who found the air vent behind the production team and crawled into it.
[TeStar Dream Team!]
[Will they succeed in escaping from the laboratory full of zombies!]
'Ah, starting from episode 2, they're going to start encountering zombies in earnest!'
In fact, there wasn't much of a zombie story since the title was attached from the first episode, but thanks to the well-laid situation of the incident and the preview of the role group, it gave a sense of satisfaction and anticipation at the same time.
Thanks to that, the reaction was one color of favor.
- Wow, the scale was decided
- The production team is amazing. Did they cover the ventilation?
- Ah, give me episode 2 right away ㅠㅠ How can I wait until next week?
-In some way, they have to give 2 episodes at once.
Anyway, that's right, please ㅠㅠ
-So what the heck does this have to do with roommates? A perfect roommate is being utilized haha
The graduate student enjoyed the afterglow while reading the posts of some people she followed on her social media.
'Oh, she must have seen the performance too, right?'
Then, she called her homepage master friend and chatted about it again, and then she screamed internally.
'I passed the station I had to get off on!'
For reference, the homepage master's reaction was 'I'm going crazy wondering if Moondae is afraid of zombies too'.
And just a week later, TeStar's zombie escape was revealed.
[Kyaaaaaaack!!]
[Lee Sejin: Uh-oh-eup (choking)]
The thrilling chase and battle scenes, and the well-combined look of TeStar taking care of each other, were excellent.
In particular, the part where they came out of the vent and blocked the entrance with a cabinet received favorable reviews for being like a zombie movie.
-It's a great match beyond imagination;
-Ryu Chungwoo, isn't he crazy? Look at him shooting zombies as if he were the main character in a movie.
-I think this would be fun even for people who don't know much about the kids.
- Episode 3, please come out soon ㅠㅠ
In the second episode, the cut where the members found the laser gun and killed the zombies through their shirts, and the two parts where they moved carefully because they couldn't handle it, were well harmonized.
So the balance between coolness and fear was excellent.
-I almost screamed in the bathroom. The sound of zombies knocking on every door.
└ I thought Raebin was passing out there haha
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄹㅇ
-Ahyeon searching for dolls in the playroom was so amazing that I screamed.
In particular, Seon Ahyeon's calm and fearless behavior in the corner was even emphasized through editing, contributing to the strengthening of his character.
-TeStar didn't know that Ahyeon was like that
-Ahyeon still doesn't understand everyone was so surprised. He's so cute.
-He is a specimen of external and internal rivers… My flower deer elk…
And the fans of Park Moondae were also satisfied. The homepage master sent this message to her friend.
[It's a variety show that will tell us if Moondae is afraid of zombies.]
This was because Park Moondae did not see a zombie at first, but when it appeared, he seemed afraid and had an expression of a Tibetan fox.
Fans rewinded the second episode, which ended with TeStar sprinting toward the back door, and produced numerous GIFs.
-I think it would be fun even if it this the next concept for the kids. Students surviving the zombie apocalypse…already delusional
-Would anyone like to see Cha Eugene throwing a ball at the playroom to attract a zombie's attention? (GIF file)
-Lee Sejin's amazing communication skills while pushing against zombies ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (Screenshot)
All in all, the fans, who were very satisfied, were indulging in carefree fun.
There were no particular questions or controversies.
-Probably, episode 3 will be about the escape + the roommate assignment. I think the zombie portion is almost over ㅋㅋ
-Episode 2 had a good sense of speed. Episode 3 will be a bit cute.
This was the established theory.
However, the day the long-awaited episode 3 was released…
-Oh my gosh
-C-c-c-crazy
-Chungwoo?
[Ryu Chungwoo: I need you to give me that ID card, Moondae.]
[Park Moondae: !!!!]
The reaction exploded as soon as the scene of Ryu Chungwoo pointing a laser gun at Park Moondae, who was presenting wonderful reasoning after returning to the first room, came out.
And when the two people were staring at each other like a frozen screen from a movie…
The screen rewinded and returned to Ryu Chungwoo's personal counseling cut.
